He was seated newhat absurdly on a very small chair whose long spin- dling legs and short back gave it the dis- torted lock of something that had started out to be tall and had stopped growing. | It was the sort of chair peculiar to ladies’ dressing tables, but as this was the first time Peter had ever seen a lady’s dressing table, it appeared to him | something of a monstrosity. | Dr. Cavanaugh's solid bulk, clad in | its usual sober black, gruyecred beyond his insufficient seat; he looked, Peter | thought, rather like a block of granite balanced on the top of four far too slender stakes. 1he uressaug table itself, a glass~ topped, triple-mirrored affair on which at she present moment the doctor rested 8 nonchalant elbow, was covered with a surprising multitude of objects, each of which looked like something The glass bottle of rose-colored bath salt: had the form of an elephant; a squat object which should have been a jar of cold cream masqueraded as an overblown pink rose.

Then, if | he wasn't wanted, he'd depart along the thorny path by which he had come. Dr. Cavanaugh's eye, reflected in the wide mirror of the dressing table, sud- | denly “met his—met them without change of expression, but with an un- mistakable glance of recognition. In another instant the window was quiet- ly opened from within. 4 | “You might as well come in—you |seem to be a fairly ubiquitous young | man, by the wa “I was behind & window at least 15 feet away, and in the dark.” The doctor gently closed the win- dow before turning to the astonished and shame-faced Peter. “You have a good mind,” he said gravely. “You have seized on the one factor that seemed inexplicable.
