A MAN was there, gripping the door jambs to remain upright. An incredible ugly man There was not a single hair to his head: he no evebrows, no eyelashes: he looked. horribly, like some thing that had just been born. Yet he must have been all of 50. A flush extended over the full surface of | his baldness and his red-rimmed | little peady with thej fright of discovery. “well?” Talcott demanded “Excuse, pleasei” «what the devil do you want?” “My stateroom is the next—I make mistake—" Do vou usually enter your stateroom on hands and knees?” A fleeting, baleful stare was his answer. And then, key in hand, the hairless one groped to the adjoining door and let himself in . Talcott watched long and thoughtfully. Certainly he had never seen this man before. Yet somthing about him prodded memory. And the memory, whatever It might be, was not pleasant Briskly he set off along the eorridor. trying to shake the vision of that ugly, thing-like head from his mind. Halfway to the companionway he had to hold up to allow a steward to bring an armioad of linen from a locker. 3 impulse he asked, “Whe is that passenger with the completely bald head?” : steward frowned. “Bald— That's Mr. Webber. He's in New York. His first vacation in 20 years, he said. We had him on the down trip. He staved over in Saint Thomas—He was on B. Deck coming down. Got changed down here because there was too much noise—Hes a good tailor. Measuring me for a suit. Funny, ain't it? ; And that was that.

It was sealed. of course; gobs of red wax along the flap. He had no time for experiments in deception; with Halsey's nail file he ripped the length of the envelope, and then stared ineredulously. Paper, plain blank paper was in his hands. Not a mark defiled its white surface. He was going through it again, just to.make suure, when he heard a noise at the door. {Te Be Continued)
