He laughed. “But not my own car. Well, I did get to town, and this fellow told me." “Stupid of me not to take more iriterest," said Gamadge.

You really mustn’t. You don’t know how knocked over I was when she came in here and sprung that theory of hers on me. Really I was frightened." “It was frightening."! “I mean I was frightened by her. 1 went into the kitchen hall to telephone to Smyth, and I confess that I hooked the baize door. 1 thought she bad gone entirely off her head.

Gamadge said, ”1 suu uunx your course p?aa The telephone call should have been to her psychiatrist, Dalgren." “But, we thought Dalgren had failed; now could we have confidence in Dalgren? And 1 really wish,” said Ames pettishly, “that my sister-in-law had come to her senses at onee, and that the whole thing had not ended on that note of rescue and escape. It makes us out—well, rm glad you are having an opportunity to see us as we are." I “You must remember," said Gamadge, “that your sister-in-law's suggestion was offered to you in a spirit of kindness.” “Nor must you forget that if she had been herself the suggestion would never have been made.” Gamadge lighted a cigaret without replying: he was aware that Ames Coldfield’s eyes were upon him, and raised his own, to meet a blank, fixed look; it was so consciously empty of all comprehension as to resemble the stare of Idiocy. After a moment the pale eyes were turned away. He knows, or he guesses, thought Gamadge* and said,* “I confess my mind is irrevocably fixed on Mrs. Glendon Coldfield’s desperate plight, and her lonely struggle to communicate." “And now,” asked Ames with sudden brightness, “did she ever do It,?. Those proxies? Did Miss Beal not look into them carefully before they were mailed? Well, it was kind of you to rescue her. And I hope Cook won’t get a look at you Uirough the slide at dinner—the gravy might get into the mayonnaise." Mr. and Mrs. Ira Coldfield came In from the library; Ira had put or a lounge coat, and Georgette was inn dark-red and black silk, with a high neck and long sleeves. They made a handsome, prosper-ous-looking couple, without a care in the world. V “Got something left for us thert, Ames?" asked Ira. He smiled at Gamadge. “Don’t know where he gets his stuff, it’s better than mine," + Ames was busy pouring from the big glass shaker. “And when I mix," be said, “1 always expect] company. Here you art, Georgy. Here you both are." Georgette put a cigaret into her long ivory holder and Gamadge , lighted it- She said to nobody in i particular, “I see Jimmie dragged little Smyth in with him. Why in i the world?" V “Welk after all, Georgy," muri mured Ames, “it used to be a regular thing." i
