He had gone quite white, as he stood there, his hands clenched at his sides. - "Thank yof, sir," said Chiltern at last, "May I go now, sir?" "Yes--no, wait. Have you any- thing to suggest?-1 mean about finding Miss Tredway?"

Then mack yourself a bag, andl mooy me here in an hour." "Very good, sir," said Chiltern. He got -Shirley's number, and left the room. Shirley was in, luckily. Would she put Valerie up for a night or two? Mark asked. Valerle would explain, Loving Mark, being a tactful woman, and knowing human nature, she asked no questions, but sald she'd adore: having Valerie. » He put down the telephone and went upstairs, "Chiltern and I are taking a run __ to Allington to see it Taicy's there," he told her. "I want you to stay _ with Shirley until we get back, I've just talked with her. Have "Alice pack a bag for you at once: You may tell Shirley whatever you .|. please."

Sho had charged to a megligee * of palest mauve. With her slightly disarranged hair, she was as gear loveliness as she would ever\be. She had been .expécting him, and had dressed deliberately. But when she saw his face, she realized the futility of clothes. He walked into the room and rothy's shut the door behind hiux "S--sit down--" she sald, but she would not meet his eyes. "We needn't bother with the amenities," he sald. "Fm going away to Lry to undo some of the mischief you- have done, I don't know how long it will take, but I want you out of my house by the time I get back. I should suggest leaving tomorrow morning. Catlet will attend to whatever is neces- sary for your journey.

She J "had never been so insulted in her life. flut she hesitated just long enough to remember the incon: venlenc of a hurried night depart- ure. Besides, if ,lie was really going away, she would have time to question Valerle. She could al ways frighten the truth out of the little: idiot. She didn't know that Valerle was, at that moment, bag in hand, telling 'Mark good-bye at the door of the big car, with Catlet stand- ing guard. The Search For Lucy Mark watched the taillights dis- appear: Valerie was safe, and now he could think of Lucy. He went out of the frosty air into the warm comfort of his house. In spite of Lucy's going, he was strangely elated. He had at last let Dorothy know what he thought of her, without benefit of custom, manners or covention! He ran up to his rooms, and threw an indiscriminate collection of colthes into a bag. When he had finished he went out; deliber. ately locking first his own door, and then Valerie's. Mrs. Banwood had duplicate keys, and although he felt slightly ashamed, he. put this down to pure. habit. In his heart he knew he had no reason to trust Dorothy. He dropped the keys in his pocket, and raw down- © stairs. Chiltern presently emerged from the coatroom . with Mark's heav- lest coat, a hat, and fur-lined driv- ing gloves. He held the coat (or Mark, and shrugged himself into his own. They stepped out into the clear cold of the night, + closed the door behind them. "Shall I drive, sir?" he asked as "Later, perhaps," Mark told him, Heo swung through the gates and out to the road, heading for the state highway.' There was practically no trafile, and Mark gave the long car its head. : Chiltern watched the needle swing steadily up to 70, where it stayed, and they settled down to a steady rush through the night. "What do you figure the Ark can do?" Mark asked. a oI couldn't say, siv. With the new engine, she might make forty, shouldn't you say?" "I never drove the old girl. T had the engine put In' because Miss Lucy had a sort of affection for the thing. I'm sorry I did, now." "But a train would have made - even better time," suggested Chil: tern. "I guess so. I don't suppose you have any idea 'when she left?" "No, sir," sald Chiltern. "You see, Mr. Alexander, the old bus never entered my head.
