led his senses. Ha slept-for three hours sitar his arm was set and wakod to find himseli in a big old- lashioned room. and by his side a young woman in white linen.

"rm Vicky." she said.'

"My nurse?"

"Anne's nurse and companion. Ind the homily prop. You see. since Anne's grown up. my original oc- cupation is gone. so I am glad to have an invalid on my hands."

Vicky rose as Francis Ordway on- tored. He came up to the bed and spoke heartily. "Well, look who's here! Do you remember me, Pat- terson?" -

Charles tool: the ouist.retc'.u:d hind. "I'll say I do. You visited our old house in Ceclfi when I was a boy...

"Yes. After that I lost track of you. You went abroad. didr.'t you?"

"Yes. Foreign corespondent." f"; remember. You did a good job 0 3.

There was a moment awkward pause before oharles spoke again "Of course you've been reading about me in the papers. My divorce and all that. You needn't hesitate to speak oi it. I'm hardened." But he could not hide the flush on his cheeks.

Vicky caught the strained note she too had been reading the pap- ers. and she had seen pictures of the woman who had called Charles Patterson cruel and neglecttul. Now that she had met him she wonder ed why his straightforward manner. his direct honest gaze. had married such a wife "Any woman wouii; have seen through her in a second.” Vi&y told herself. remembering the sleepy slant of Margot Patterson's eyes, the shrewish tilt 01 her chin. the thin line of her lips.

Francis was saying. "The doctor tells me you had better stay in bed for a few days. and I want you to feel that the house is yours." lit- walked toward the door. "I have to dress for dinner. Vicky will look after you. The rest at us are dining out and going on to Betty Lanvalels party."

As he went out he said to Vicky. "What's this about Anne's pearls?"

"We can't find them anywhere." she told him. "She says she let; them on thedrcsser last night. They were gone this morning!

"What have you done about it?"

"Nothing. Mrs. Ordway is sure ihat Anne had mislaid them. She went to Baltimore alter her ride and I didn't like to act without her sanction."

"Elinor was in Baltimore?"

"Yes."

"Did Drake drive her?"

"No. She went with Mr. Ellicoil."

"When did she get home?"

"At tea time."

A frowning silence. Thcn. "l'll speak to her about the pearls. it's probably a case i'or ihc onlzci. An- ne just told me, I picked her up at the country club."

He went off and Vicky followed. Charles lay listening to the beat of the rain against the window, his mind in a turmoil. So that was what happened the night before ill the moonlight! He saw once more the woman on the stairs-that (lash of pink and silver!
