vcr.ed between Adams’ queer ac-

often did, in Lor^lon, and on Mon- j

from town to his surgery. He did |
not exchange more than a dozen '
words with Adams during the day.

main building with the billiard
room, fie became aware of ’the
click of the balls.. It gaye him a
most curious feeling—as if ho were :
an intruder in semcone eise's

He opened the door. As he had
surmised, it was Adams. The
shaded . lights were, concentrated
on the green • cloth, and Adams
was about to make a stroke. He
could not have failed to hear 'the.
r.o-.re made by T.m's entry, but he
made no sign. He comj! tod. a
