LUlUn and Harry underwood, go to a New York restaurant Madge's husband, Dicky, is scheduled Co meet a woman, posing as his secretary, her erangster companion who have managed to involve him in some mysterious plot. As they sit in the place, carefully watching the sinister couple as the latter Dicky's arrival, Madge and her friends are aware that a woman at a nearby table, obviously is also watch- inejthe coupje. The couple suddenly notices that she is watching them, and the gang- companion walks over to her table and fays, with mincing affectation, "Pardon me, please, but haven't we met before?" I DO NOT know just what we had expected from the meeting of the woman who.

was waiting for Dicky, and the disguised woman who had been watching her. We knew that the woman who had gone so swiftly to the table of the woman in the blonde wig was cool of brain, resourceful and utterly unscrupulous. That the other woman was nowhere near her match, we were very sure, and Harry evidently thought that we might have to interfere to protect the disguised woman. Suddenly I was conscious of a desire to hear the voice of the disguised woman. It was then that I realized that, without meaning the omission, I had kept something back from Harry and Lillian.

When I returned to iny father's apartment from the Lansfield where 1 had left Dicky, there had been so much to do that I had forgotten all about telephoning Dicky's magazine office when I had been worried over his delay in arriving, and that the incident of hearing a frightened feminine voice answer ma had gone completely oat of my mind.

With the disguised woman's first words of reply, I knew that my conjecture was right. She evidently was disguising her real voice, but it was the same one which had answered me on the telephone. Her reply was as punctiliously courteous as tbe question.

"I am sorry," she said, with just the touch of frigidity with which a retiring woman might answer a "pushing" question, "but I am sure we never have seen each other be- By A A I Sequel to "Married Comrodej" olo of fright that had run through her voice when I talked with her over the telephone. "I did not mean to stare at you, but I see now that I must have done so inadvertently." "Sell the big words down the river," the woman said raucously. "You'll have to hand out something better than apologies. It isn't on the free list for people to stare at me, or my boy friend, either," Says She's Writer "But that's just why I stared," the disguised woman said with a tremulous eagerness that would have deceived almost anyone. "You see, I'm a magazine writer studying types at restaurants for an article I'm writing, and--and--you'll pardon me for getting personal, but you seemed so different, someway, from your escort that I couldn't help watching you, and 'trying to weave a story around you.

I am also a fiction writer. You seemed--if you'll forgive me--so attractive and of a higher type than the gentleman you call your boy friend, that I couldn't help but wonder--" fore.

The woman with the wig shrank back against her chair as if she preen herself unconsciously, and drop her threatening manner. "You're pretty keen," she said, "and I can see you're giving me the straight goods, so forget -what I'va were in actual physical terror of said.
