But a few minutes before he had tieon carrying on a confidential, low toned conversation with my flam boyant neighbor for whom he was now expressing such languid con tempt. And he had followed it—if the evidence of my own eyes had not failed me—with a surreptitous interview in the hallway with beau tiful Mollis Fawcett, the closest, friend of my irrepressible neighbor. His complacency at having de ceived me so patly was a liitle too much, and with a smothered exclama lion 1 sprang to my feel anil looked at him steadily, alt hough I felt my self shaking. But I managed to eon trol my voice, however, although 1 was horribly afraid it might hreak Into nervous sobs at any second. “Is that your idea of fairness?” [ asked quietly. Into Ills eves flashed a startled, ap prehensive look. “What do you mean by that?" he asked. "I think you know very well,’’ I replied. "But If you wish it ex plained I'll endeavor to gratify your wish. I mean that, your air of con tempt for Mr*.

Flaming anger was in his face now, all the more ugly for the hu miliation which the discovery of my knowledge brought him. "Then—I refer—you were not asleep Just now, as you pretended." "Your inference is eminently cor rect." I took refuge in the quota tion, for I found I had difficulty in marshalling my thoughts, and as 1 answered I slipped past Dicky Into the living room and sat down heav ily In the big armchair. I felt that my knees would buckle beneath me' If I kept a standing posture any longer. . Dicky stood still for a few seconds, then he followed me, and I saw that his hands were pushed deep Into his pockets, and his head thrust for ward—sure signs of his anger. "Your little excursion into the hall'—he began chokingly. "I sup pose the search for the headache tablets was a blind also." "I didn't need them," I acquiesced coolly. "Will You Stop Right There?” "Then you admit"—he was storm- j ing flow—"that you've been playing the contemptible rflle of eavesdrop per?” ' "If I have."

Dicky demanded, his face jishen, hiR eyes narrowed and glittering with anger. There was something about him that silenced me in spite of myself, anil held me while he spoke slowly and with effort. "I can stand just shout so much of this asinine nonsense," he said. "You're altogether wrong in what you're thinking, but I'll he boiled in oil before I II tell you what the real dope is—now. I was going to tel! you the whole thing the night 1 oatne home with the banged up head— A quick recollection came to me of that night when Dicky, weak and wounded, had staggered Into the apartment, and I had discovered that his head was bandaged with two dainty feminine handkerchiefs and a woman's embroidered neekscarf.
