All right then Bill hung up the receiver reached for Bradshaw Sally, meanwhile, was getting in- to the London train at Lenton. She had passed ‘the sori of night during which one does not seem to‘sleep at all, and yet manages. to experience a succession of vivid and rather.terri- fying dreams.

When the train slid into the terminus, Sally felt as if she had been sitting-in it for hours and that she hated trains and never wanted to see one again. She got out of her carriage, and looked up and down the platfom for Bill, There was a crowd of hurrying people all com- pletely and utterly strange to her. She began te walk towards the bar- rier; Bill ofcourse would be waiting there. And then something made her 53 behind her). was the man in the mot- or goggles. He was coming up on.her right-hand side. Now he was abreast of her. He turned his head, and, for a sickening moment, Sally thorght he was going to speak. Instead, he yushed against her ever so slightly and then passed on. Sally followed, ave up her ticket, and passed the barrier The ‘man tad disappeared. She looked around for Bill, and there was no Bill. A horrid biankness came upon her. Only last week she had run upstairs in the dark. When she came to the top she had thought there was still another etep, and there wasn't; her foot came down hard with 2 jerk. That same blankness was upon her then. To expect something very confidently and to find that it isn't there, that was the feeling in both eases. It gave one a jolt and then that and still looking about her, began to cross the station. She was looking for a man, and so did not recognize Etta Shaw until she fairly bumpea into her. “Why; Sally,” said Miss Shaw. “what a surprise!"
