He looked.a little tired, as he hadn't been to bed at all. June poured him coffee and Bruce rang for hot food. I called up every girl T could think of,” he said, “and got bawled out for waking them up. None of them have seen or heard from Kay. And I'll tell you I can't for the life of me think what she'd do in the outfit she's wearing, except go to a hotel. And if she did, she probably won't call until later afternoon.” “She’s apt to walk in here any min- ute,” June said. Phil's admiri eyes were upon her, drinking in_her beauty s he passed his cup for coffee. Apprehension did not make itself se- riously felt until the dinner hour came and passed. Grbuped about the fire in the library, Bruce finally burst out: “I wonder if I ought to notify the police? I keep thinking of the Starr Faithful case. . . ." June had never heard of Starr's sad fate and Phil told her briefly. “Don’t think of such gruesome possibilites,” he said. “You know there isn't the slight- est reason.” “I don't think so myself. I don't be- leve Kay would commit suicide, but maybe Starr Faithful didn't either.” “The camparison is ridiculous!” “What I'm really thinking of is that she may have been robbed and . . ."” He could not go on for an instant. Then, controlling his sudden appalling fears, he continued: “She was wearing a diamond bracelet or two, I think, and that ruby ring—you know what it's worth, Phil. I can't recall what she had sbout her neck. Can you, June?” “A ruby and diamond necklace.” “We'd better write down all the de- tails,” Bruce said. “I think I'll call police headquarters and ask them to send a man up” He brought paper and pencil and began to jot down the items. “She had on a white satin dress, didn’t she?

We were in my car at the time.” “Was there any money in her bag, and what was it like?” q tone. I think she had a few bills—fives and ones, and some change.” “She could get money, of course; she has a checking account. But we'll have to walt until moming to see if any- thing comes throl‘h the bank. No, we won't know then, for 8 check wouldn't clear until the lollowll’ day at least. Phil, I'm woiried!” “I know it.

It would be characteristic of her to hop into the first cab that came along, un- der the circumstances.” “I'm going home, Bruce, and get some sleep.

And I think sleep is the best word I've heard all day. I'm prac- tically unconscious myself. Come on, Bruce, be reasonable. There’s no use in getting a lot of publicity until you know it's the only thing to do.” “I'm afraid to let it go too long.

Shall I drop you at your hotel, June?” “That would be nice.” On_their way home, Phil reminded her that the day had turned out guite differently from what they had planned. “I was looking forward to the day with you,” he said. “You had the day with me!” “And what a day!
