Sally shook her head, recovering

j as she went on.
j "I'm sure I should know his

I "You only think you would,"
j Carolyn laughed. "But it makes a
! good story. I suppose you have a
great many such experiences up
there on the hill," she went on,
wondering, no doubt, at the inter-
est her fiance was showing in her
guest's story.
"Not too many," Sally said. "I
suppose, subconsciously, I have
been listening for that voice ever
since. At the police station they
Amu paraded some dozen or so shady
, 01 A characters before us-Margaret
Adams and me—but not one ol' the
voices was right. He walked with
a sort if swift glide, too, as if he
were young and slim and agile. Of
course it'was dark—he was mer.ejy
a shadow—a swiftly moving
shadow."
Carolyn laughed again. "You've
been seeing too many mystery
thrillers, Sally," she chided. "Now
suppose you tell one, Dick," she
suggested and the young man set-
tled himself in his comfortable
chair and began.

44I THINK 1 can tell something
quite as strange as Sally's,"
he said, and Sally closed her eyes
and was convinced lie was the
man.
"It was during the present
spiing that I was on the trail of a
gang of international crooks—so
close to them in fact I even ac-
cepted a lift and rode with them
for several miles. 1 was suspicious
but not at all sure of my quarry
until the car skidded on a slippery
hill and went into a ditch. No one
was hurt but from the angry mut-
terings, the sub-machine gun that
suddenly appeared in the hands
of the driver and a bulging brief
case that landed squarely in my
arms, I knew I had hit the jack
pot.
"It was pitch dark and sleeting.
I jumped a hedge and bending low
ran past darkened houses over
lawns soggy with wet leaves and
at 1 st reached a large building
that was still dimly lighted. I
dashed up the steps and tried the
door. It opened and I slipped in-
side and shut and locked it behind
rm\ and then—of all things—the
lights went out.
"But I had seen I was in a wide
foyer with steps leading down to
another level. Somehow I felt my
safety lay in that direction and I
descended the stairs to the door at
the bottom where I heard voices.
I entered and was challenged by
a woman. By that time I recog-
nized the smells and knew I was
in a hospital, Evidently the voices
belonged to nurses—there were
two of them. And then I heard
stealthy footsteps approaching and
slipped over to where a door
should be. It was locked as I felt
sure it would be on such an eerie
night. The rest is obvious inas-
much as I am still here!"
« ♦ «
«rrKEN it was you!" Sally saict,
immediately relieved. "But
tell me how you knew where the
door was? I have been harboring
the belief that one of the staff was
playing a practical joke, except for
the voice—it didn't belong to any
of the staff."
"And you were the challenger,
I take it," Richard Gregory said.
He turned to Carolyn. "Remember
the morning I so unexpectedly
dropped in for breakfast with you,
darling? That was the morning
after."
"And the gang, Dick? What
about them'.'" Carolyn asked, her
voice worried.
"There was enough evidence in
that brief case to hang twenty
people," he told her. "We got most
of them."
"But you didn't have a brief ease
that night," Sally said.
The man eyed her approvingly.
"I hid it in a hedge near there. 1
salvaged it after I was sure they
had given me up. If they had
known about it mv life wouldn't
have been worth a plugged nickel.
So, as the good old saying goes—
'All's well that ends .-ell.' "
Sally sighed. The man laughed.
"Now you can lorget ..bout the
mysterious midnight visitor .'ith
the voice," he teased. "But let mo
tell you, Sally Aiavnard. I think
you're quite remarkable. Not many
people could remember nd place
a voice so accurately. Particularly
when you were so terrified." The
man smiled. "Oh, I know /on were
trying very hard to sound calm
and unafraid."
"He's a lawyer, Sally," Carolyn
pointed out. "No one can "not him
on voices. It's liis business to read
meaning into every faintest shade
of tone and color the human voice
may adopt. So, watch your nu-
ances, darling, when you're in ths
presence of this young man."
"I shall," Sally smiled.

FOOD
For
THOUGHT
There Isn't a finer food than milk. Easily digest-
ed, with more natural vitamins than any other food.
Doctors agree milk is best for building vigorous minds
and bodies. Uood for grown-ups as well as growing
children. And, when it's Vandervoort's milk, you'll
know it's safe to drink because it's pasteurized.
