She tried to describe her sensations to Van Winkle. He was sqtf consistently courteous, considerate, unassuming, that he disarmed even the aversion she had earlier felt toward him.

And now he seemed accustomed enough to the marvel of the Vicarlon to take it calmly. It grew no less difficult for her to do so, however.

"It enslavesThem!" "It hasn't enslaved me." "It will when it strikes your keynote." "And you?" "It won't strike my keynote." "Is that why you don't look back on your life?" His eyes dodged hers.

A heavy-shouldered, somewhat bent man, his face covered with young beard, and his eyes, apoar ently weak, covered by shell-rim- mea, cofored glasses, entered behind him. He trlancpd about ami ltis gaze hesitated on Phyllis an instant. Then he looked at Brainard and' waited for permission to speak.

If it was I'm awfully sorry," he apologized. "Of course, one o' the bomb-caps was loose an' the scene evapqrated. An' I suppose the light was just rlaht an' all. But, as I was "But where Is the Index of that scene?" "That's Just it, sir. I've got the index I thought I was working on.

But it won't be dif ficult to find out how the dials were set before you began to dust." The man shook his head. "I must 'a' moved 'em while I was I condensed a record how they stood before I begun to dust, an' Mr.

Van Winkle run it. An' the dials was set for the Stanford stuff, all right." Brainard turned and walked halfway across the room, There he stopped and stood completely still, intent thought arresting every muscle. Phyllis, vaguely watched him an instant. Then her eyes went -back to the machine operator. She surprised on his face a leer that told her instantly he had been lying.

"Radley!" she exclaimed. But the operator's face went blank as Brainard turned. And Brainard gave no heed to her. "Go back to your machine? he directed the other. "Make records before and after you dusted, and let me have the mas soon as they are ready.

Make a record of your dusting, setting to get the dial board complete while you worked over It." The man bowed, turned, and went softly out. "And Van," said Brainard to van Winkle, "have one of the other operators do the same thing. And have still another one set up for the west window, and see if we can get what that fellow says he saw there, naven mane a recora oi a record yet. Maybe that pos sible, too." Van Winkle departed, arainara turned to-Phyllis with a forced smile. "Radley," she said quickly, "tnat fellow was lying." His face sobered Instantly.

"While you were turned went on the girt, "he-Just leered at' you." "Eh?" said Brainard. His gaxe fell away from her into the visions ot his ranid thought. "And wasn't his explanation wasn't It too elaborate?" Brainard went slowly back to his chair without answering. He sat down with both his hands on the Helen D.

"But why," asked Phyllis, tardily recognizing the singular fact, "why are you so concerned about that that woodland scene? I thought it was the mill accident" The look on his face stopped her.

Embarrassment, a flush, his eyes wavering. Then he began taking out a cigarette with careful unconcern. "I've been more upset than I needed to be," he explained presently, with an air of patience. "This is the first threat of a leak, just as my organization is beginning to work. It merely shows that I shall have to check up everything carefully.

"I'm glad its no more serious than that," said Phyllis, sure she was being rebuffed. He excused himself and left her a moment later. When he came back he said he had told Uahigl to serve luncheon for two here in his office. They lunched by the window from which they could look down upon the street and see the crowd leaving the piornlng matinee and gathering for the afternoon. For the stream of people was continuous at the theater doors now.

Phyllis was unable to fit the events of these days upon tho days which had preceded her illness. She frequently felt euro that she must presently wake to find that ahe had been lost in some vaporings of unconsciousness. There were moments when the sudden longing was great to go back to those other days for reasons even apart from the wish for Radley's old attitude toward her self. If one might but turn back actually to the dearer moments of the past! But she quaked, hot and cold, at the rising idea of a "rec ord" of one of those moments! There were things too sacredly sweet even to repeat. But after the luncheon Radley called Van Winkle and suggested that he "show Miss Norman some of the pageant records ho was preparing for public view." And she felt that she was dismissed as she went.

But in the multiple-unit room, as they called it. Van Winkle showed her things tnat made ncr even lor- get. To sit In a quiet room in California in 1935 and see Henry Hudson sail up the river of his name in 1608 and then to see New xoik pageant-memorial of it 300 years later, and now twenty-seven years ago It was enough to make one forget most other tnings lor me moment. of course, as she looked at the historical scene, and its beautiful but not very like imitation, there was nothing about either that TODAY TRIBUNE radio broadeast.

Gregory la al rich as he la kind. And his understanding' heart offers to much and asks ao little.

It was he who loaned Marian the money for her education wanted to give it to her (for her father's sake, he said). Marian's eyes soften as she thinks of the tender Gregory.
