that hung over them.
At a little before 6 Hugo came.
He had found out certain things.
The yellow convertible belonging
to Eleanor Oaks had been out of
the garage all Monday night. She
hadn't used it herself. According
to the door and elevator men, she
had been playing bridge in her
apartment with guests. The con-
vertible had been returned during
the small hours; it was parked at
the curb on Tuesday morning.
Granting that Libby had driven
off with Tony Wilder in the yellow
convertible, as a means of tracing
her present whereabouts it was a
washout. So much for that. Hugo
said that the name of the man
who had appeared so silently in
Eleanor Oaks’ living room while
they were there was Samuel Ped-
rick.
Anita was directly across the
room from Kit, sitting in a corner
of the couch, a cigaret in her hand.
She had started to lean forward
to deposit ash in an ash tray on

The ordinary man certainly feels
he could use a little more appre-
er, eh ? That guy at Daisy’s party ?
He frowned, and told Kit, without
being asked, about having dinner
with Libby two weeks earlier, and
her heart eased a little. "I ought
to have guessed then. When I ran
into her on 42nd St. she was in a
queer mood, not like herself. Jit-
tery. I couldn't get her to talk.
I should have known that there
was something up when she asked
me not to tell you that she was in
town. She was insistent about it.”
He opened his eyes at the men-
tion of Eleanor Oaks. "You went
to her apartment, Kit? You
shouldn’t have." To say that Elea-
nor Oaks was on the tarnished
side was putting it mildly. He re-
membered the case very well. She

ciation from those around him,
particularly his wife, his other
boss, his children, the neighbors
and a few traffic cops. When he
pays his taxes, he may even think
the least his Uncle Sam could do
in return is mail him a “thank
you” note.
To most people fame would be
a nuisance and a bore. It would
be frightening and kill them
the coffee table. As Hugo spoke
Pedrick’s name her elbows and
head went sharply back in an in-
voluntary gesture of recoil and her
face became absolutely still, as
though her breathing had stopped.
Anita knew Pedrick. Kit was con-
vinced of it.
Anita denied knowing him.' In
an instant she was herself again,
showing nothing but surprise that
Kit should ask.
Miriam had come downstairs.
She was standing in the doorway
and Kit caught a glimpse of her
face in a mirror. She was staring
at Anita with a piercing stare that
was full of suspicion. Undoubtedly
Miriam had seen what Kit had
seen.
It wasn't Miriam who spoke, it
was George. “Pedrick, Samuel E.
Pedrick—so he's Eleanor's boy
friend. Well, well.” He said that
the police had had an eye on Ped-
rick for quite a while. He was sus-
pected of being the power behind
a number of rackets—gambling,
crooked promotions, dope, but so
far they hadn't been able to pin
anything on him.

CHAPTER SEVEN
KIT DIDN'T say anything in re-
ply to Angie's startling comments.
She was startled and confused.
Was Anita right, was Angie jump-
ing to conclusions ? George had
been around for quite a while, he
had asked her to marry him half
a dozen times. But perhaps he had
got tired, although he’d given no
indication of any change. Yet it
was odd that he hadn't said any-
thing about seeing Libby in New
York, and having dinner with her
. . . Hugo and George? She felt
beaten- and curiously forlorn.
Presently Angie was gone with
a final admonition. "Mind what I
say about your cousin, and Tony
Wilder, honey.” It was too late for
that, Kit reflected wearily; as soon
as they were alone she told Anita
the whole story, what they had
discovered and what they feared,
that Wilder was the man Libby had
gone away with.
Anita wasn't as surprised as Kit
had expected her to be. Over tea
and sandwiches, Anita said: "I
knew there was someone. Libby
has changed in the last few
months. She’s been unsettled, not
as carefree as she was. She had
something on her mind. Anyhow,
you might as well stop worrying.
Even if you’d known about Wilder
I don’t believe you could have
stopped it. Cheer up, the man may
turn out much better than you ex-
pect."
Kit got up and began to walk
around the room. “If only she’d let
us know where she is. That’s
what's so frightening. Suppose
she's found out something terrible
—perhaps that Wilder is already
married, that he already has a
wife . . . She might have left him
in some strange place, might
have—" Leaning against the desk
Kit burled her face in her hands.
Anita was dismayed at her
breakdown. "Kit, stop crying-and

looking at a tray of gadgets in a

“Doesn’t he look familiar," one
salesgirl asked another.
"Like who?”
“Well, a little like Lindbergh."
“Ye-e-es,” said the second girl
doubtfully, “maybe around the
eyes and mouth. But can you im-
agine Lindbergh being in here?”
Both girls laughed at the idea.
A moment later Charles A.
Lindbergh paid for his purchases,
as well as physical. Kit liked him around the house,
tremendously and was always at
case with him.
George asked what the trouble

know who Sweetie was, but he’d
try to find out.
Kit called Denfield then. There
was still no word. Coming back,
she said, “I don’t want to leave
Philip alone. I’m going up." Anita
had to get home, too. There was
no train until 3:30. It ended by
George driving them. He insisted
on it. "What’s the use of being
your own boss if you can’t take an
afternoon off? Get your things on,
girls.”
It was 2 when they left New
York, 20 minutes past 4 when they
reached Denfield. Kit dozed a good
part of the way, her head against.
George’s shoulder. It was a sur-
prisingly comfortable place to have
it. Dropping Anita at her gate,
she said she’d be over later. George
drove up the hill and into the
driveway.
Kit jumped out of the car be-
fore George brought it to a full
stop. Her uncle was in the hall.
One glance at his f ace was enough.
Libby hadn’t telephoned. There
was no letter. There was npthing.
Kit went upstairs and changed
into gray chambray and low heels.
When she came down at 5 o’clock,
Philip, looking incredibly worn,
was talking to Anita in the living
room. William was there, too,
