Finally she shook her K [and began 1o straighten the room After two hours' sicaly waork she at Jast sat down tc¢ a dinne in the kitohen. The chop salad she had planned for I remained in the iccbox. When she had eaten she washed the dishcs and put them away, Then she lay down on the couch in the living room to read. Sometime later she awoke with a | start. The lights were still on and the book had slipped to the floor. Her body was stiff with cold. She went into her bedroom and got a large silk shawl to wrap around her shoulders. Out in the living room, again, she consulted her watch. It was ncady one o'clock. With a start she turned toward IYancy's room. She found it empty. Then she ran to the front window and looked out. The street was quiet. A policeman strolled past, swinglng his club. There was no other figure in sight. It secmed to Barbara that she stood by the window for many hours. Now and then a belated automobile would round the corner and come down Church street. Barbara held her breath each time, expecting it to draw up in front of the apart- ment building. But they all passed on. Once Barbara left the window and | ran to pick up the telephone book. She ruffled through the leaves hast- ily and suddenly laid the book down again. ! She regained her post by the win- |dow. A car was swinging in at the curb, its powerful lights flashing for a moment through the room in which she stood. Barbara was faint- ly aware that the lines of the car were familiar. But she had no time to ponder the matter. Assisted by a man, Fancy | alighted* from the automoblle and | started up the steps. Halt way up the man put his arms around her and kissed her. Then he ran back down the steps and climbed into the car. Barbara pressed her face against the pane, watching him drive off. Tripping footsteps sounded out- side. Barbara turned toward the door just in time to see it open and admit Fancy. She was pale and her eyes burned.
