Fox nodded myaterlouily.
"In a hollow tooth," he aald In trl

"Huh!" aald Fox. "I'm ont of

the streets aren't paved better."
"Well, all I've got to say Is don't
marry a burlesque queen, rob a bank,
or poison your grandmother, and
you'll get plenty far. Thlt It more
than leavt of absence tor you
George. You'rt going to bt assigned

while and then transferred. Don't
know where exactly, but 1 think
you're tlcketoa tor St. James. You've
dented some pretty Important con
aclousness around hert with tht fact
of your existence."
"Put It down to connections, pri
vate Income, and the grab bag,"
yawned Fox.
"Ever modest. Glad to bt back?"
Fox clasped hit handt behind hit
head, ttretched hit lets, and looked
out tht window at tht car turned
Inlo tht city proper.
" '.ie at though 1 wert coming
back for a college reunion," lie laid
reamlly. "Tou know the memory
if old facet, old scenes, Iqng spring

mind. Come back and recapture
something that you have discovered
was priceless, that you didn't realise
you needed to much."
"Hmram." murmured Jennings,
lyolng him thoughtfully.
"1 REMEMBER," went on Fox.

"Who Is she!" said Jennings.
Fox started, then bt trailed.
"You leap to conclusions like a
damned mountain goat playing leap

"Some mon stutter." said Jennings
with conviction, "and others write

lei uiy wife know how many timet I
went deep-sea fishing before 1 met
her?"
Fox taw no reason, and let It go
at that. Seeing that no information
waa rotbcomina. Jennings swung
back to tbt business of arms tm
bargo treatlea, marlnet, tnd the Sec
retary's weekend comfort, until hi
dropped Fox at a hotel.
"Remember," ha warned humor
ously, "don't get caught In any funny
places, and be surt tht lady la ao
clajly acceptable to bt a future big
shot s wife."
"My regards to the Secretary." tald
Fox. "Tell him my life for my coun
try any time txcept when I'm on
leave."
Jennlngt waved a hand and drove
off. Fox checked In at tbt hotel and
then took a tail to Eleanor Weat't
bomt. Ht had no aurety that Allaire
would be there; he could only hope.
Tbt butler thought tht might bt In
her mother'! cocktail talon.
Ht took tht little prlvatt eltvator
to tbt second floor and ttepped out
Into a long red and tllver room filled
with Eleanor'a usual cocktail crowd.
Three Japanese boys went about
with trays of cocktails and highballs
among gay chatting groups. Allaire
wasn't anywhere to be seen, but her
mother waa sitting In a corner deep
ly attentive to an earnest young man
with very dark hair and very high
wbttt forehead.
At bt talked he frequently ran
hit band up over hit forehead and
through hit '.hick poetical raven
locks. Ht waa talking about lights,
as Fox appioached. vibrations and
lights, dirty yellow lights, pure white
lights, pink lights all twinkling.
ELEANOR Interrupted him to ex
tend a languid hand to Fox. Sh
waa quite beautiful, ber balr llk
Allaire's except that constant set
slom with the hairdresser failed tc
glvt It tbt same natural wealth ol
live color.
"Hello. George. Back from the
wilds? Nlct ot you to drop In. Let
me Introduce Mr. Valaour."
Fox met Mr. Valaour, then bt
turned back to her.
"I'm looking for Allaire It she
here?"
"No, tht Isn't 1 don't know where
tbt Is. She went out last night be
fore dinner and h-n't come back."
She put a clgaret In a long holder
unconcernedly. Her daugbter'i dis
appearances were nothing unusual
to her. "Do go on, Jacques. This is
a new religion," she added to Fox.
'Not new," proteated Mr. Valaour.
"It Is as old aa the world Itself. It
belongs to the Ptolemies. Oh, no, do
not mistake yourself; It is not new.
It Is merely adapted to modern
thought and terms. Your personality
Is expressed In terms of lights all
vibrating about the One Main
Light"
"I'm torrlbly Interested," mur
mured Allalro'a mother.
Fox wasn't. It sounded like glb
borlflh to b!m. He excused himself.
So Nell was Investigating a Dew re
ligion now. Or, perhaps, It waa Mr.
Valaour who was being investigated.
He was walking through clusters
ot chattering humanity toward tht
exit when aomebody tapped him on
the shoulder.
"You do not remember me, Mr.
Fox?"
The attache found a tall man at
his elbow, a handsome smiling man,
dressed Impeccably from tht tint of
hit grey-spatted shoes to the white
carnation on bit lapel.
Fox rocalled him with a certain
thock ot surprise. It waa Ramon
LaMarr who bad met Nell West In
the Argentine and followed the po'.o
party north. He wat a big gamt
hunter and globe trotter, or torn,
thing. So he said.
'I romember you, of course," said
Fox, shaking hands.
LaMarr smiled at him warmly,
"I have wanted to aee you for aomt
tlmt. What fortune we should meet."
"What can I do for you?" inquired
Fox.
A great deal," tald LaMarr, "but
1 will do a great deal tor you, too. An
exchange nof" tit laughed. "Let ua
have a drink together."
Sorry," aald Fox, "I'm trying to
find aomebody."
Ah," tald LaMarr. "Somebody?
Mist Allaire West, perhaps?"
His volet ended on a raised nott
of suggestlvt Inquiry.
Fox hesitated. He didn't cart for
LaMarr hadn't tver since Allalrt
had termed him a scavenging shark
following in the wake of a ship. She
had tried to chasa him away from
ber light-headed mother several
times. What was ht doing here?
LaMarr wat smoothly oblivious to
tht attache's hesitation.
"You art looking for Allaire," ht
went oh, "tnd I am looking for you.
Believe me, It It very Important,"
