Bh* went around to the side porch door leading into her »:nall offic*. She entered quietly. At first she was unaware of anyone else in the room she had bsen told wa* her owm sanctum. But Georg* and Mabe) Given* and Kurt Helm were there. Kurt sat at the desk, Ll* lean handsome fsc* bent over earbon copies of Jane'* note* to her friend*. “It wa* that Sweitser woman—" he wax saying.

H* turned to George Given*. “How about a drop of your Armagnsc as a liqueur with a demi-tasse?" Georg* seemed glad to escape. Mabel fluttered after him, her smile toward Jane a trifle pinehed. Kurt stared down at the tele* phone on th* desk, and said gently, “By the way, George had thia branch telephone installed. Os eourae, well often be bothered at th* beginning of our work by crank*. You'd better note down any call, you get, in cat* George and Mabel aren’t around.” Jana flushed, remembering the mysterious woman’s caff yesterday; the warning broken off at the other end. Had th* Given* bsen listening She said nothing. Then she saw the Nyack paper on the desk, ft was folded to a paragraph marked in red pencil. She bent over to read. Helm tried to snatch it away.

Why didn’t you tell meT I must go to him.” • • e • "Don’t argjm, Mother, j saw It in the paper- David's been beaten np —badly hurt. I've got to ge to him.” Jane faced Mr*. Rider and Kurt Helm in the living-room of the old farmhouse. Her unpleasant impression of the George Givens that afternoon only increased her worry. There wa* now an air of furtive intrigue to the lob she had taken on with sueh enthusiasm. Kuri didn’t dispel her uneasiness as be silently drove her home. "It’s perfect folly. Jane. You'll only get yourself mixed up in further publicity." Mrs. Rider's lip trembled. "I don't eare,” Jmie declared. “I felt the way you did. Mother—about th* publicity and all. I sent David away, and whatever ha* happen'd to kirn is my fault” Her voice broke; steadied. Kurt looked away from her. Hie lithe figure, tn old corduroys, wa* restless. He said unexpectedly. “Jane’s right, Mr*. Rider. I’ll drive her to town tomorrow. Those Haveratraw train* are a nuisance on Sunday." “Oh Kurt, how aloe es you!" Jan*
