i Adcle Garrison’s Dicky's Hint of Good News Upsets Lillian Dicky leaned forward, with ab- sorbed interest as Lilllan gave him the Information she had promised hm concerning the walf, Ianny Powell, who had just fled from the house after gagging and binding Katherine and me to our beds. When she had finlshed, he leaned back and surveyed her quizzically, “Outside of the fact that you've cached all the real meat of the co- coAput in eome corner of your al- leged brain, t's a very interesting tale,” ha drawled, then chuckled gleefully as Lillian's cheeks crim- soned, faintly but undenfably, 1t is 80 unprecedented a thing for her to show any perturbation that I caught myselt staring at her in amazement before I realized that it | was her weakened condition of body and nerves which was responsible for her momentary loss of polse. That it was but momentary, how- ever, T eaw as with an almost im- perceptible stiffening of her body, she faced Dicky. “At any rate, {t's all the meat you're going to get, my carnivorous birdling,” she gibed, and 1 compre- hended that she had drawn on the defensive armor of their usual rail- lery to keep him from any further | questioning concerning Fanny Pow- ell, “Broadcast me something T don't know," he flashed back, and then his volce took on a more eerious inflection. “But T haven't changed my opinion ‘that it is a mighty danger- ous thing to let that girl loose on the community,” he said “I don’t fancy she'll get very far, Lilllan rejoined composedly. Dicl stared at her, puzzled, but my dis- turbed pulses resumed their even beat, as T comprehended the answer to her cryptic comment. Lee Chow, of course! She must be depending upon the almost omniscient watch- fulness of tho Chinese to track down the girl who lad tricked Katherine and se so completely. “Oh, T do beg your pardon,” Dicky sald mockingly. “I might have known that old Chingachook had set the beaver traps all the trall. “1 heard that the ‘sophisticates’ were re-reading Ienimore Coope Lillian drawled, and Dicky turned the subject quickly, as she invarlably 1w she is getting. the better *ilicir verbal bouts.

Rarely have T seen Lilllan &0 stirred as she was by his apparently slmple message. She sprang to her feet, with flushed cheeks and eyes suddenly gleaming with a light which for weeks I had not seen in them, It was not until hours af- terward that 1 realized the despair which those eyes had held and masked with an affectation of in- difterent lethargy. “Dicky-bird!" she exclaimed im- periously, “You must tell me at once what you mean! I can stand waiting when I think there's no use doing anything else, but if you knew ~—what I've been through—I can't stand to wait——I can't—I tell you." Over my husband's face flashed a look of poignant ecif-reproach, and impetuously he stepped forward and put his hand upon her shoulder, “My dear girl,” he said tenderly. “I didn’t dream—although I should have known, But it's all right. U'll tell you everything this second.” But he hesitated as if he did not quite know low to begin, and I fancied that he glanced uncasily at me, Before either of them could prevent me, 1 got out of bed and moved to d the door. “You can retell it all to the morning,” T said lightly. now I'm going to see it Katic hasn't time to make a big pot of coffee. That's the slogan In this house you know, when anything unusual hap- pens, coffee for everybody at any hour of the day or night.” T heard them both call me, but T went swiftly out of the deor wun- heeding, and ran down the corridor. Vaguely I understood that Dicky would be embarrassed by my pres- ence while giving Lillian the “good news” he had for her, and not pos- sessing the insatiable curiosity im- puted to women, I was well content to wait until the morning for Lil- llan’s version of the conversation, The ringing of the telephone stopped me on my way to my room where Katherine lay, and T moved quickly to the upstairs instrument and took down the receiver, almost dropping it in amazement as Dr. Meredith's voice asked hurriedly, out waiting for a Hello!™ “Is Mrs. Bickett there?"
