He had been eum- moneda te Dr. Royoe'’s office by tele- phone, Thinking that Royce prob- ably wanted a tip on the market, and eager always for & new customer, Mulry lost no time tn obeying the summons.

He wes afraid thet Stat- ford would demand tt back at any moment, and he could not face such & demand. Furthermore, ‘his part tn the writ- Ing of the letters and the sending of them and the telegrams from the var- fous cities was one that he could not pleasantly explain. He could think of no good He to tell and the last Person on earth he wanted to meet was Gloria Mafford, Fortunately for him, he was at Royce's office when Gloria arrived at hi Bhe was received by an in. pertinent young stenographer who seemed unable to spare the time from her gum chewing and D- prateal of Gloria's looka and clothes to impart any useful information, Gloria sald she would like to leave a note for Mr, Mulry, The stenog- rapher pointed to a table whereon lay writing materiale, Gloria em down to invite Mr, Mulry to call upon her, Now Laols Gtafford had also an important errand at this office, Her whole future and reputation lay in the packet of letters that Freneau had promised to return to her, She Was sure that they were not on his body, for had they been found ‘the newspapers or the police would have mentioned them soon enough, To recover these letters now was her prime purpose tn life, Bhe thought of Mulry aa the one most likely to be in possession of Frencau's effects, so she called on Mulry, never dreaming that Freneau had told him of her own interference in his plans to wed Glorla, or that Mulry collaborated with Freneau tn hin elaborate echeme to trick both women, Least of all did Lole dream that Gloria herself would be at Mulry's office, The stenographer was more impressed by Lois’ clothes than by her attempt to be casual in her inquiry as to Mulry and “the papers of poor Mr, Freneau.” The stenographer murmured to the bookkeeper; “Two awell dames eampin' on Mr, Mulry'a trail the #ame day!
