But even the trutli I H would not make Laurie look and act I B like that. Or would It? She tried to I B believe it would. Anything would be I B better than the thing she feared. i ” Five minutes passed—ten—fifteen— , twenty. Save during the half hour of j the had never known such" draggihg, i S borrvrhlied moments. A dozen times I ■ the fan- led she heard the elevator ■ nop at her floor, and the sound of I | voice, and footsteps approach, A I d"ten times she went to her windows I ■ and wildly gazed out on the storm. As ■ she stared, she prayed. It was the I I lame prayer, over and over. ■ “Dear God, please don’t let It be I that way!” The aspiration was the I nearest she dared come to putting Into I •ords the terror that shook her heart. I The second fifteen minutes were al- I most up when she really heard the I elevator stop. Quick footsteps ap- I proached her door, but there were no I voices. The three men, if they were I coming, were coming in utter silence. I Before they had time to rap she had I ‘T'-ued the door and stood back to let I them enter. As they passed her she I looked Into tbelr faces, and as she I looked the familiar sense of panic, I •tow Immeasurably intensified, again I •el.ed her in Its grip. Laurie, usually the most punctilious I of men, made on this occasion an I omlHton extraordinary for hltn. He I dl<i not present his partners to their I hostess. But not one of the three no- I ticed that omission. I He took off his coat, methodically I folded It, and laid it on a nearby chair. I To the brain back of each of the I three pairs of eyes watching him, the I S| ime thought came. He had some- I thing appalling to tell them, and, cool I is he seemed, he dared not tell It. He I w »s playing for time. The strain of I e’en the brief delay was too much for I Lpsteln’s endurance. High-strung, his I nerves-on edge, almost before Laurie I h*d turned he sputtered forth ques- I tlons like bullets from a machine gun. I “Veil 1 veil 1” he demanded, “rot’s It I »H about? Vot’s It mean? Over the I telephone you say you got to see us I this minute. Tou say jrou got into I ffouble, big trouble. Veil, vot trouble? I Vot I. it? j “I guess it ain’t nothing ve can’t fix I U P.' he jerked out, trying to speak I ’•th his usual assurance. “I guess ve I " x i ‘np all right.” Laurie shook his head. None of the I “■rty minutes he had spent on the I ground floor had been devoted to im- I proving his appearance. His .black. I '■' ur ly hair, usually as shining as satin. I w «s rough, matted, dirty. Across his I es t cheek the sinister cut still ran. I angry -looking, Irritated 1
