To the north old\ trees, barely in leaf, screened the view up-river. A pale, cold April light, subdued by grey skies, came into the room bleakly. It was a comfortable, olds, fashioned room, replete with Victorian knick-knacks. Logs burned in ‘he fireplace, j | A nurse in uniform sit beside the north window, doing a jigsaw puzzle. She was a squat, dark woman, and the sharp lights from ner cap and dress brought out greenish tints in her sallow skin. She nad the bulging forehead of obstinacy, and there was strength in every motion of her short srrnA She must n»ve khown that she was not much to Inok at, and perhaps she thought that that wux why her patient tfat with her back turned. , The patient hnd moved her little tmndy-h’ggi’d desk trmp under the oss?ment windows to th©,cornet next them bn the right; It wna now under a looking glnaa in a painted velvet frame? The patient had said she got the light better thul way, and certainly she must nhve needed ail the light there was tor her eternal crossword puzzles. She was doing one now, out of a little paper-bound book. There were printed forms and business envelopes on the desk-flap, but she had pushed them and the ink and pen-tray asid?. She seemed to be making heavy work of her puzzle justnow. She tilled in squares, rubbed out letters, sat in thought, looked ’up often at the mirror,, which refleeted the nurse's cap. She was perhaps forty years old, and she might once have been a beautiful woman: now she looked, pale and worn. She was very thin. Undoubtedly she had ‘nad an illness. But her dark hair was carefully dressed, and she was very neat and smartv in plain ' black, with thin blsici^, silk stockings and black suede Shoes.

"You mean you think there's anyfAingkcrazy about that fetter?” Gamadge’s tone was flat and incredulous. ■ He had not taken the clients’ chair in friend Macloud’s law office, but had pulled up ■ a hard straight one, and was Sitting on Maclou<|’s right, across the corner of the desk. He had taken his cigaret out of his mouth, and was pointing with it at some* papers laid out on t|ie blotter. There was an envelope that had been through the mails; ft was addressed to Gamadge In a firm, clear hand. There were two crossdiagrams, one entirely filled in with pencilled letters, the other so. There was a typed, punctuated transcript of their message. There was a sheet of notepaper, i covered with Gamadge’s scrawled writing. i "Fifty-fifty,” said Macloud, "but we have no evidence." . "No evidence ..Ganiadge repeated ths words without inflection. He looked up, around the room, out of the window that gave him a large view of skyscrapers and April sky.
