CHAPTER 63 WHY MADGE SET ABOl'T MEMOH IZIXG WHAT DRAKE WROTE. "I Was surprised at the MreneJh or the resentment I felt toward Allen Drake when I finally realetl the be littling attitude in which he held my mentality. My ringers clench-d. and I bit my lips savagely for rear I might otter some word which would betray my anger to him. It couldn't be. I told myself fierce Iy, that I cared what thi .nan's npin ion or me was. . He. like inr.ir. was merely a Dawn in a tremenrinu r m but I couldn't hide from jhe eyes of my own brain tbe humiliating fact that his opinion did matter to me. While vaguely disliking and fear- inr him I had twn tnrh ' i in nr .juri and fascinated by the tnr's powerful personality. I had thrilled, despite myseir. at bis praise f my pluck J.nd nresencn of mind wht.i h was wounded. To realize :hat he rein ed my intellect as lit tie more than that of a nrecocions rhilrf larriM m t self-esteem, even though I knew his opinion kwas that of n impersonal executive who was Impatient of fem inine assistance. There was no escan. for mm how ever, rrom tbe humiliating position in which I found myself.

But one consolation mv niihHi vanity promised Itself. 1 had pre served a machine-like attitude or mind toward the task in hand think ing that in this manner 1 would bet ter aia me man opposite me.

I Was rarrvlni n annthar calculation in my mind, and fixing rirmly in It for remembrance the matching "answera" which Mr. Drake recorded so carefully. For It had taken but a short time to discover that the rice paper con taining my father's secret message, which Mr. Drake had fastened to a page of his notebook, must eonis'n a cryptic code of .some sort, a code whirt, Mr. Drake was trying to de cipher by means of secret formula scattered in innocent looking figures on many pages of the notebook he carried, I shrewdly suspected that this arrangement of figures he had was one so distributed that no one save himself could possibly nse It. and that If his notebook were stolen It would be of no use to any tno ex cept Its owner. . My little mother began the train ing of my memory when I was a Bmal1 Klr. nd I kept up her meth ods after I grew to womanhood. It Is do task at all for me to min .rUe at sight lists of words or groups of figures, so. al though I round th.i task I had set myself the hardest of Its kind I d ever encountered, yet by the time our dinner was ended I bad nrmiy fixed in my memory every figure and letter 1 bad seen Mr. Urke rite down In his notebook.
