One unguarded remark on her part might reveal Aileen's identity and that would not do. “That you, Miss Gray?” Her landlady’s voice valled as Viv came in. “A gentleman phoned a while ago, but didn't leave any name.” “A New York call?” She won- dered if Jimmy or Channing, per- haps, might have tried to get her. ‘What if something was wrong with Aileen! The thought was madden- ing. No use to call the Ambassa- dor now—unless what she feared was true. “No,” said Mrs. Perkins. “It was someone here in town, and he said he'd call again. Is it terribly cold? You'd better sit down and let me make some coffee.” Vivienne was cold and it would seem rude to decline the invita- tion, but she wished she could ghut the deor and keep to her own room. , “I was wondering if you'd listen 10 thils new mystery woman,” Mrs. Perkins said as she poured coffee into the percolator. “The paper says she’s the highest paid singer on the air.

Mrs. Perkins glared in- dignantly, but Vivienne ignored her. She was listening enraptured. ©Oh, this was perfectly glorious! By one of those freaks of radio, hear her. “Fifty dollars a minute's a pow- erful lot of money. If she does get anything like it, I'll bet they charge a fancy price for their | new-fangled perfume,” Mrs. Per- kins went on. Then, before Viv had a chance to | protest, the set's reception faded] and it suddenly went dead. That | was too much for Vivienne's nerves. {She exploded, and Mrs. Perkins | stiffened.

Bowing with utmost polite- | ne Arnold Kronberg was stand- ing outside on the landing. “I hope I'm not intruding.” Although Kronberg apologized, it was evident to Vivienne that he meant to be admitted.
