The meal wasn't esperially live

Lucy did their bei-t, and I must ad
mit MacNair was interesting In his
cold-brooded may. But his twisted
outlook and his ironical philosophy
of life took from our intercourse
that spontaneity which always
graces my table. I suppose the
trapping of one's fellow beings dis
courages tho social instinct. He
and I had a pleasant hour in my
den, though, and I found him aide
to tell me a good many things
about small firearms.
When he had gone, Lucy came
In.
Dropping on a stool at my feet,
she leaned her dark head against
my knees, My fingers were soon
stroking her sleek "black hair. A
common sadness f spirit suffused
us and neither of us spoke for a
Utile while. ,
"There's no word?" Lucy whls
l pored presently.
"None." I said, huskily, and she
pressed her head hard against my
knee.
When she looked up I tried to
avoid hor eyes, but there must
have bcen some magnetic quality
in the look she turned on me, for
I felt my eyes drawn down to hers.

The engine gave a throaty purr
and the roadster slid from under
my hand. At breakfast, half an
hour later. Lucy had little to say.
Shadows encircled .her eyes and
my heart ached for her. We had
go to tho toast and coffee stage
when the telephone rang. It was
Sunday, Mrs. Moffit's day off, and
Lucy answered the call. Mrs. Mof
fit had got our breakfast ready
and gone to her cosmic Indulgence
circle, which meets, eevry Sunday

"Somebody wants to speak to

"Nonsense!" I cried, but my old

must be dropping In here. Wait,
I'll speak to him."
A sense of disaster weighed upon
me as 1 took up the instrument.
"Hello."
"That you. chief?" someone de
manded crisply. I have been told
that my voice over the wire re
sembles Deacon's. Before I could
make my Identity known the voire

"This is Peebles. Captain Deacon

"If you'll leave a message " I
began In a voice strangely unlike
my own. . "
"Tell him to call headquarters.
He said he might stop at your
place first. Don't forget!"
1 stared Into the mouthpiece
numb with horror. Jerry . . . Skull
Valley . . . Torrldlty. Torrldlty
and Andrew's death had come
form a sort of unholy unity. Jerry
had gone there. But why? And
why hadn't he returned?
"Good flod!"I muttered. "Un
less he can explain hlm.elf Deacon
will bring him back under war

mightn't he able 1o explain his
flight to Deacon's satisfaction, al
though he would to mine, over
whelmed me.
