IF I had known what I know
now. 1 should have gone down
the stairway, pushed the first
floor button, returning tbi- cur
& it! original position, and gone
off to someOinote and deserted
promontory Until the whole weird
business hud blown over. But 1
prided myself on being a good
Citizen. Furthermore I huve an
overdeveloped sense of curiosity.
So with the faith of a righteous

I heard stops outside the door.
Someone hud hold of the knob
and, before I eoiild move, the

to run up three flights of stairs in
nuthing flat.
"Nick!" she said and put her
hand to hor throat.
I went for the brandy. She
downed a pony of the stuff neat

Finally, she opened her eyes, and
with a kind of futul calm, sum:
"You'd never guess, Nick, what
I lust saw."
"I don't have to guess. What
on earth are you doing here, Pat?"
Her eyes widened.
"You buw It?"
I nodded,

look came into Mark's eyes.
"Who was she?"
"Mugda Calavestri."
THERE was a long silence after
thnt. Mnrku went over to the

which implied that he saw lot
more tliun mot the eye. ' Now,
Mr. Trent, if you will tell me

pushed the elevator
button,
opened the door, and there she
wus."
Then you came directly back
up here and called the polico?"
