The maid had exerted her culinary rability to its utmost to prepare dishes that would tempt Peggy's ap- petite, realizing the girl's exhaust- ed nervous system needed some- thing more substantial to feed on than the sandwiches she had re- quested earlier in the afternoon for tea in lieu of supper. Paying no attention to Jim's mumbled refusal, Peggy almost forced the plate bearing his share of broiled chicken and fried po- tatoes into his hands. Peggy lifted the coffee pot and held it over Jim'’s cup. She caught his eyes and, con- fused by the light in them, looked away. Julia was nowhere in sight. How was her chance for a confi- dential chat. “What do you suppose brought Idgar Stanton here at two o'clock In the morning?” “I'm wondering myself,” he ad- mitted frankly. Raising his head he looked straight into her eyes. “And here’s another thing that jpuzzles me—why were you so ready to fire?” “I"—she hesitated. “I thought he was the mysterious man T en- countered here on my arrival—in this room,” she interpolated. “He ushered me into a seat in the dining room and put a soup tureen in front of me —" “And then?” prompted Jim, lean- ing forward in his eagemess “And ithen?" “Disappeared.” The fresh log in the fireplace caught at last and the flame blazed up throwing their faces into bold relief: the cpened onto the sweranda, pressed its face closer against the pane of glass, in an endeavor to catch their expressions.
