1 can't believe that. sir. Why, she made an appointment with me for eight o'clock last night, and you may take it from me, sir, that had she been able to keep it she mist certainly would have done.

hope that Phyllis had mad¢ un- expected arrangements the previous night and that she would be com- ing straight to the shop.

But at nine o'clock there was no sign of Phyllis, and the young imam; nerves were badly frayed. ills was convinced now that some. a thing terrible must have happened

to the girl-something anociated with the mystery in which they were both involved.

The girl's absence, when it was ,leamed that she had not arrived at her lodgings the previous night, lwas the subject of much comment among her colleagues. Miss Rich, after her outburst the nighz, be- fore. was strangely chastened and uefused resolutely to be drawn in- ‘to the speculation.

Peter Oxton could not resists smile at the young man's earnest- ness and his implicit faith in Miss Variey.

It's obvious to me. alater. he said, that your knowledge of the ways of women is not as com- plete as it probably will be when you grow older. The fact that a woman makes an appointment doesn't always mean that she in- tends keeping it. You see, Slater. it may have been that Miss Varley had a scheme of her own in mind and in order to throw you off the scout she deliberately made with you an appointment she had no intention of keeping. But by all means, if Superintendent Beck is llnterestcd, we shall inform him. For my part, young man, I'm heartily éllk of the whole affair.

peculiar way of relieving his own feelings. Which was Just what it was.
