She also says that it was Veronica who found a scrap of a letter in which Vallaincourt tipped his hand. ge Chapter XXI When Christopher Storm bound- ed in with his !'quick. virile stride, McCale turned hurriedly to shake the young "man's hand. He looked into the clean-cut. face and spoke quickly. "I'm in a liell of a.hurry, Storm. You can answer just one question, if you will." "Gladly." He faced McCale with open candid eyes.

"Then Curt came along." His voice was "hitter. Then it was a gesture?

The telephone at his elbow rang and he made a motion for Storm™ to answer it. The young man spoke a few words, then tired to McCale. "For you." "McCale here," he said, wonder- ing who could be calling him there, Jt was Ann. She sounded fright- ened, urgent. "Is it all right for me tor spill?" she asked.

"Sorry [had to detain Miss Marriot, but she rather arranged her own entrance, so to" speak, together with one of my over-zealous squad." "Surely vou're through with her now? McCale was devastatingly formal. "Quite, quite. She could have gone a half hour ago, but when I learned she" had phoned you, I thought--that is--Miss Bigelow was a bit under the weather." He dis- regarded Veronica studiously, his manner to her hard, restrained. 'So that's the way the wind blows, McCale thought, and said to Ann, "You run along now.
