He had it. The thought of going among people, to a theatre, or a club, was repugnant to him. His room at the hotel was impossible; he wanted to move about, to do something.

"I think I'd better talk with her." Alan answered decisively.

Phillipa did not dare say more. Alan was showing good judgment in consulting Bernadine. It would be

Her main object was to fix the crime of tampering with the letter upon Natalie. Alan's telephoning Bernadine now would reveal that it had been tampered with sooner than she had hoped, but Phillipa was satisfied.

"Yes, and not too late in the eve nink, either," Bernadine answered. And, "How are you feeling?" he added as an afterthought. "How's Bobby?"

She reached out a hot hand for the extension telephone on a stand by the bed. She was lifting it toward her, when suddenly she put it back. She mustn't send for Alan now. He would think she had used her illness as an appeal to his pity.

He gave her the letter, with his 0. K. on it to take out to Mr. Well- son. who would put to through the routine of the office.

Alan, about the same time, was breakfasting Just as sparingly, though not leisurely, for he was concerned about his neglected busi ness. He arrived at the office be- tween nine and tea, and immo- diately called Phillipa into his room."

When she came in, he was over-. whelmingly relieved to see. her. Philipa showed. her into his pri vate office without delay, knowing that he was alone. She, not Ber-. nadine, wore an inscrutable smile. The one on Bernadine's counte
