Why should he? On Reddy’s own terms he was not asked to deliver the let- ter if, when the time came, if it ever did, he, Colin, for any reason what- soever decided to go no further with it. Fair enough in view of Reddy's own reticence. “You're on, Reddy,” he said quiet- ly. “I subscribe to all the conditions, I hope I shall never be called upon to fulfill any of them, and I don’t for & moment believe I ever shall—but where am I to look for the envelope in case I have to?” Reddy drew hard on his cigarette, as he came slowly back across the room and held out his hand, “Thanks,” he said simply. “I’m no good on this speech etuff.

I might have used that in a yarn,” “Oh, I don’t know,” said Reddy. “It’s not so hot. But it was the best I could do.” “Why not have put it in a safe deposit box?” suggested Colin. Reddy shrugged his shoulders, “The answer to that is easy. That 1 had a box at all would have been reported to the police the minute I got bumped off, and the police would have been inquisitive—and you would have had to hand over. I only wrote the letter a fev7 hours ago tn the hope that you would see it through for me if I got up againat it” “Well, then,” demanded Colin, “why not hand it over to me now and let me take care of it?” “Because,” said Reddy bluntly, “you're safer without it—while I'm alive.” Colin grinned. “Do you know,” he said facetious ly, “I'm beginning to hope that I die "before you do.” And then, suddenly serious: “Look here, Reddy, what £ said about your chances of being put on the spot yourself if you didn’t cut loose from this sort of life you've been living, I said tn a purely gen- eral way, but I seem to have rung the bell. “You're not the kind of chap to get the wind up, and you're not mor bid; but you know you are skating at the moment on ice that might go out from under you at any instant.
