CHAPTER. XXVI

The maid took out. an envelope which had been torn in half.

Connie looked at it and saw her name written across the front and the address of her hotel.

“You sec. this man in 445 asked me to mail thLs for nirn and then he took it back and tore it to p.c :5. ‘Never min-d,’ he says, it's 14:0 late.’ I was sorta curlotis when he left and so I pulled tho scraps out of the wastepitper basket.’

“And you said he seemed-sick and lieartsick?" Connie found her- self asking.

Connie remembered the way Pat had held his hand clenched deep in his jisckct when led come ‘.0 the farmhouse kitchen that. day where she had been telephoning the story. She remembered he'd curried Skippy in one arm the night she'd met nim at the bus station.

Sixmrzning had happened to him when he'd made that trek ‘throueh the snow with Jlin Bardley. So he'd stayed alone In the hotel room until leaving time. And the only contact left was the torn note in the maids pocket.

"May I have those pieces?" she asked.

The maid handed them over. "Guess you are the girl nil right’ judging from that newspaper pic- turc"

She reached into her purse and brouaht out. a bill which she gave to the woman. "Thanks," the said, "and Merry Christmas."

Constance took a cab over town to her own hotel, keeping the white squnlres of paper tightly in her hunt.

ask.

Winter daylight was fading and the lights in the clty were already blinking on. As the cab passed the little church there the Christmas crib had been pieced outside, Connie saw that a star shone on thin wires above it.

It was easy to put the words w- gilthri" ns soon as she was at tne desk in her own room.

She kissed him lightly. “I'll be ready in s. minute. We're going shopping."

He strolled over to the desk uid saw the torn white squares o: paper. For a minute. Connie stood very still.

"What's this?" Jerry asked.

"It's what ls left of a note from a man named Pat and it's about a

“You know them?" Jerry stared curiously at the pieces.

"Yes-~they were on the bus wito me. We sort of stuck together dur- ing the blizzcn

“Oh, the bus," he said, as if no one of importance but herself had ever been on a bus. What's this Pat like?"

"He's a. man from Rockies.”

Jerry laughed, easily. "You had me scared for a. minute. I thought he might be a rival."

Jerry brushed the fragments of the note aside. "Nonsense." he said. "We have an appointment ‘with friends for cocktails right, now. There's a party out at the air field tonight.
