The dance floor was deserted, and through the windows Cecily saw the men down on their knees, tne porters with |»ng brooms. Fine- combing the room. She prayed they'd find that which they sought. “Must be worth ten thousand dollars... .” “It couldn’t have been stolen....' “She said the clasp was weak....” “Did you know that there’s a rumor that the reason Lady Rath- bone left Mrs. Brewster’s suddenly was because she said a valuable diamond pin had been stolen? I told-my husband...” Cecily heard it all. “Stupid woman to wear a jewel like that to a piace like this,” Gloria said. “Why?” Philip asked. “Every- body knows everybody else. If there were any suspicion that it had been stolen, the committee would have gone about it more Quietly, searched the guests.” “That sounds reasonable,” Jim Penny said. “Why don't we sug- gest it? Then there won't be any Question about it. The men might submit ‘o it without letting the ladies in on it.” “Good idea!” Philip agreed. “It’s nasty business. I'll tel] Lochran. Suppose we go in first?” Gloria said, “Don’t be silly, Philip! Mrs. Goodale herself said the clasp was weak. it'll turn up. If. you're feeling so energetic you might see if you can snag a waiter. I ‘want some more coffee.” Mrs. Goodale came back, look- ing haggard under her smile. Im- Mediately all heads turned toward er. She stood in the door, holding up her hand. “Tt’s all right, every- ly.

As she got up, Cecily saw that ‘he food on Laura’s plate was untouched. Olivia came over to their table. “Children, it’s after one. I'm going home but you al] go on to Mrs Géodale’s if you wist:.” ‘ony said, “I'm for going home.” "So am I, Mother.

Like the answer to some wire- less message tapping at her mind, she slowed her steps, and her right hand in the pocket ot her coat felt around in the depths, finding something unfamiliar. She knew what it was before | she drew her handkerchief out Knew instantly what that col hard substance was. Mrs. Goodale’s necklace lay there bunched in her hand.

When you come to the end of your journey, you'll have to do something. There, Cecily struck a | snag. She didn’t know what to do about it. Take it back to Mrs. Goodale and try to explain how it got in her pocket? Cecily opened the door to her shop, fumbling the key in the lock because her fingers were stiff. She took her hat off and ran her fingers through her hair. There was a fire laid in the hearth. She touched a match to it and tried to warm herself befo.e the blaze, hoping with the heat to melt the bands that bound her brain. She sat there for twenty min- utes ...an hour... she didn’t know how long, and _-hen a solu- tion came to her. The situation was now beyond her control. She could no longer accept responsi- bility for what had happened. She oud have to take it to someone else, .__ That someone was Donald Hem- ingway. It might seem strange that it was Donald Hemingway who came to her mind. It wasn’t, when you followed her thinking processes. Donald Hemingway was a bal- | anced person, a man who was ac- customed to weighing the prob- lems of others, to finding solutions from an objective point of view, And Donald Hemingway cared for Laura Atwill. Cecily’s intui- tion told her that. She dismissed Donald’s attitude toward Laura Laura leaned toward Cecily and #aid in a low voi Insurance Companies don't pay large sums without making extensive in- quiries, du they?” Cecily shook her head Oh, definitely not, she thought. The time that Doug had lost his git cigarette case given to him on is twenty-first birthday, the plate had been over-run with in- vestigators. [f they J do that be- pd paying a two hundred dollar cigim, what would they do for one a8 far, s this one must be? They'd send detectives. They'd westion everybody. They'd say, xactly who was at that party?" They'd as' if there were any sus- picious characters seen about the grounds. They might even tie this up to the Brewster affair. Nightmares aeaey might learn of the figure On the veranda. Had anyone else seen it? Had anyone heard her call, “It’s Cecily!” All that night she dreamed nightmares. Dreams in wh‘ch po- lice stood over her menacingly, threatening her with prison. They finger-printed her. They said, “You know all about it and we'll make you talk.” And sh ida, “No! No! But Laura know And then in horror of what she had said, she woke up and was unable to sleep the rest of the nicht. A sudden thought assailed her. Tt wasn't like Laura to be secre- five. Then why was she? Was Laura being blackmailed! Some- one—or some group, had gotten ed little Laura into his clutches. hat was why she couldn’t talk. What had happened to Laura the night she went to Locke’s cabin? Poor girl, she had looked fright- ened and ill! Laura had said, “I can’t tell you, Cecily .. . I don’t know any more than you do.” 7 as she would, Cecily, in spite of all she hac seen, couldn’t make a villain of Locke. His eyes kept coming between her and the in the, past week, knowing that it was a misunderstanding that prompted it. | She must still have had faith | in Locke, she thought, or she wouldn't b i e going to see Donald Hemingwa: In Donald's old-fashioned pri- vate office at the rear of the bank where they would not be dis- turbed, she laid the necklace in his hand and told him the story. She told him all she could. She told him tow she had first found Locke. She told him other: things that revealed more than she knew but she did not tell him in words | that she loved Locke, She was as honest as she could be. She told him about the incident of Lady Rathbone's loss, took the respon- sibility for Laura’s going to Locke’s cabin. She told him ‘oh he thing that she knew about the night before. When she finished, Donald was silent for a few minutes, drawing thoughtfully on his bipe. “Why did you come to me with this?” he asked finally. “Because . . . becausc 1 want your help. I want you to tell me the right thing to do. And... and I want you to find some way out of it without calling in the police. You see... 12.. n't seem to know: the right thing to do.

He held the door open for her. “About Mrs. Atwill,” he said. “T’m going to apologize to her.” At that moment Cecily’s con- her eyes, making ‘hem smar:. | Friday afternoon, October 13, |starting at 4 o'clock.
