Her hope of con- vincing Roy of their relation- ship ebbs. Doubt assails her for | the first timc—perhaps it is a | case of mistaken ligntity. Chapter 29 THE CODE MESSAGE leaned forward, picked up the pad of paper, and a sharp, oxcited cry escaped her as she seanned the top sheet mare closely. There were words here—not very distinet and some of them quite #mdecipherable to the naked eye— put unmistakable words. Her heart began to beat furious- ly: Roy had crumpled up and carried away with him the second gheet on which he had written the translation—-but on the next sheet Enid there showed the pressure marks, a | great many of them at least, of his pencil when he had set down the translation! She took up a pencil, and swiftly but with extreme care, traced over the words and groups of letters that were legible. The result, of course, did not make sense—it was just a lot of fragmentary writing strewn all over the sheet. Yes—naturally! She has not ex- pected anything else. But she was not through yet! She opened the drawer of her desk, her lips quiv- ering in sudden reminiscence, took out her reading glass. The last time she had used it had been the night she had got that apshot of Roy from Shive Prank. It seemed as though every- thing went back to Shive Frank Even this pad of papgr here in front of her! Roy would never have been in this room, would pever have written anything here, if it had not keen indirectly due to Shive Frank. That was two nights ago. This was he third nights The phrase repeated itself in her mind. Was there any significance in the fact that this was the third night? It had begun in so—so0 pre- monitory & way with things she scarcely dared to contemplate. Roy's love! Suppose she could nover make him believe he was her Brother? Suppose he wasn't? She Wad scen him once in a tigerish nidod. Where was Phil? Would the two meet? Which would have the upper hand? One 6f them must go down or perhaps both of them! Was what Shive Frank had written true? Was there €vidence in that paper in Schnaff- rier's safe to send Roy to the chair? Was Roy—a murderer? No! A {housand times no! It could not be!
