The door of the hotel room was opened by a toll individual whose gray oyes peered in eager expectation at Jan Roeker. "You brougth him." the man sald, and there was unmis takable relief in his voice.

Bleeker nodded, followed Mrs. Cathay into the room, turned to face the big man who was closing and locking the door.

Fisher sighed.

"I am propared to advise my client," he said, "to withdraw any tibel suits and give you a complete re- lease in return for your assurance that a retraction will be published by the newspaper,"

It was the following afternoon, Dan Blecker, at his desk, frowned irritably at Ethel Weat.

"What was your last report from Charles Morden?" he asked.

Ethel West picked up a shorthand notebook from before her. "You talked with his personally day before yesterday, didn't you?"

"Yes. What did you hear from him yesterday?"

"Not unless Morden telephones. I want to talk with him if he reports. Tell him to come in to see me if he can leave the case long enough."
