CHAPTER XXIX, She had forgotten that. • She had forgotten everything but Chris, filer heart leaped with instinctive fear but she answered carelessly enough: "That's the man." "And you met him in the office?" Mary Kate's head jerked an assent against his shoulder. "What'd he do? Try to make love to you?" "I've got—something," Mary Kate confessed, with an unhappy laugh. "You've felt like' that before?" the man questioned. A silence, Then she said simply; "Neverin my life before." Cass fell silent now, too. Ile got up from the davenport and wen to the light, and earned it higher. A flickering half-hearted illumination wavered on the ugly walls, shabby chairs and curtains. The Wean lighted a cigarette. He came back to the davenport, but. sat apart from her now, twisted about so that he faced her, the cigarette in his fingers. "Listen here," he said. "You must have had crushes like that before in high school." "I never did," she persisted stead- ily. "Mary Kate," Cass std, in what, "No; he never touched me. Ile considering his young confidence in never said a woed—like that, I mean." his masculine power•to handle all her "O -h -h?"

Cass laughed. "I think that's what I'ne trying to "You saw him three times, and he tell you, Cass." never said a word about love," be summarized it. "Well, yes—ne did say something about love," she remembered. "He even said something about --well, fall- ing in love with me. But it was not serious. It was soft of—about how Pia -my it would be—something like that—" The man ruminated upon this for some moments, and Mary Kate closed her eyes again. She heard Chris- topher's voice saying that her gown was grind, that she was a swell -- "Maly, 'Mary, Mary." It was, a beautiful name; it had a hundred tittles the dignity of "Mary Kate." He might come into the office to- morrow; he might stand there, loolt- ing at her, smiling at her. They might: have five minutes' talk. It was all she wanted, all she needed - "And you got a sort of crush on hon?" Cass asked, amusedly. "I suppose that's it." "But you don't know one thing about hint, Mary Kate!" "I know." "Look. You might hate him." "I height." There had been lno- ntents, she remembered, when she had thought that she already hated hint. "But then what makes you think you have a crush on him?" "The --the way I feel, Cass," Mary Kate said earnestly. She had to tell somebody, she couldn't tell anyone else. "If I hadn't met him, I'd think I was sick," she resumed, with a shamed laugh. "Because most of it is just feeling sick—hot and dry and cold 'and shaky and --well, just mad with eestlessness, all the time. I'd not think it had anything to do with -- with hint, exeet that it's worse when I think of nine—the way his voi:e sounds—the way he looks—" • Cass had squared about to face her in the dark. Now he said, in an al- tered voice, a speculative, deliberate voice: "Say, you have got it!" "That's the way I felt about you," he said humbly. "I know," Mary Kate's voice was almost inaudible. "Eve?y telephone means you,to me," the pian went on. "Oh, I know!" Oh, voice of Chris, somewhere out in the spring night, where were you now? Her heart be- gan to hammer again. He must nut saiI next Sunday until she had a chance to talk to him, once=only. Cass was speaking. She could hear his voice, but.not the words. "Where's he staying, Mr, Steynes?" "I didn't hear you." "Is this Mr. Steynes, or whatever his name is, staying in San Mateo?" "Burlingame.' Then there was a Iong silence. Mary Kate had closed her eyes again, and was leaning back, looking spent and limp. But there was a sudden nar- rowing, a sudden speculative light, in Cass's eyes. "Did you go to Sacramento?" he asked suddenly in a level voice. Her ayes flashed open; color rushed into her face, "No—" she whispered tearfully, slightly shaking her head. She was sitting erect now, and as Cass did not speak, but continued to regard her, with a sort of horrified astonishment in his look, she put her two hands to her head, and disordered her brilliant crushed hair with frantic fingers. "My God-"' Cass breathed; whis- ering in return, his unmoving eyes glued upon her face. Silence. Silence. It spread and rose and deepened between them like the noiseless waters of a swollen river. "Oh, not the way you think!" Mary Kate resently said, impatiently, in- differently. "I didn't do anything— wrong. I'm not a kid, to be led astray. I know the Commandments. I went down there on business for Mr. Roun- tree." "Ent why didn't you tell me?" • • 1 X 7ORK won't wait for a TT headache to wear off. Don't look for sympathy at such times, but get some Aspirin.

Mary Kate shrugged, sighed, and made no answer, Theye'was infinite indifference, infinite. weariness in her averted eyes. - "When I went into the •kitchen, o while back, to give your mother a quarter for the gas meter;" Cass said, "I didn't have a quarter. So J. picked up your purse; and took it from that. And I saw a return ticket from Bur- linganae there." She: remembered now. Chris had bought her a i'e',urn ticket on Satur- day afternoon, not knoiving thatshe already had such a ticket in her purse. It hadn't seemed to matter, then-' "It kind of -surprised beeause in all the months' I've known you you've never been to Burlingame that I knew o;," Cass pursued. "They wanted me to go to,a • dinner, std pretend to be somebody, that was ail there was to it!" Mary Kate' `pres- ently volunteered, "I , see. Well, your mother would not have minded that!" n ' "She might have." "Where'd you stay?" "Oh, at one of their houses." "Other people there?" A second's pause. Then she said:, "Yes."" "Did Mr, Rountree ask you to do it, Mary Kate?" • "Oh, yes, as a favor to him." 2t was all beginning to seem natural and simple: Her nerves steadied. "I don't see why you shouldn't do that," Cass mused. "Was Steynes staying with hint?" . "Ne, he's taken a'Spanish house, a little way off. The Bensinger place, I think they called it." The name stirred Cass's memory. "Were they talking about the burg- lar—no, it was before the burglar,'' he thought aloud. "When were you— let's see—" "It was that night, it was when 5 was there," she confessed, fearfully, yet with sudden reliet in her voice, too. "My God!" Cass said, not irrever- ently, as he glanced at this slender, crushed, anxious girl with the, deep blue eyes, who was one day to be his wife. "You might have let yourself in for something!" "1 did," Mary Kate admitted, rais- ing her steady look to his. ' "You weren't in Steynes' house!" "I was—ns it happened." "How'd that happen?" "The arrangement was made that way." "He had a house party, eh? Mart would skin you, Mary Kate," Cass said, oft on a. tack. "I know it, And Mother, too." "But why did you do it?" "They wanted to pay ole for it, Cass. Anil you know how I wanted to help Mart." "To go to Germany, you mean?" "With Doctor van Antwerp," "H'nel" Cass mused. "Why, but look," he said, brightening, after a moment's thought, "that's what's been the matter with you, you poor little thing! You've gotten yourself all wrought up over nothing, and you think it's a crush on Mr. Steynes. Don't yea see? It was the excitement and the risk—hots much did you see of the man?" "Of Chris—topher Steynes?" She bad to add the last three syllables to the mmne as an afterthought. "No. The burglar," "0h, I heard voices—and the gun—" She covered her face with her hands, shuddered, "Gosh!" Cass ejaculated youthfully. "They got the police, huh?" "Immediately." "Didn't get your naive?" Ile was agitated. The fears of the boy who has worked his way up, through news- paper deliveries, street gangs, mes- senger service, were in his voice. "They got everyone's name—the servants, everyone." Mary Kate had thought this answer out before. It caused Cass to fall into long thought, his lips pursed, the cigarette dead in his hand, "Rotten break," he finally continent. ed. "But you don't have to tell me," he went on, patting her hand, "thnt you didn't do anythin4 wrong." "No, I didn't do anything wrong." He, went on absently patting her hand; phases of the affair were occur. ring to him, aw Lucky thing for you'Mart was "Oh, wasn't it!" she breathed fer- vently.

The report said that. abort 25 more of these curious stones—which appar- ently were used by prehistoric Mon- golians as weights to hold down thele' •skin houses—had been found in the Kugaruk region, A11 of the stones were found at an approximately depth of 10 feet. They averaged 50 pounds inweight, and some of them are covered with queer inscriptions, similar to Chinese char- acters. H. B. Collins, Jr" anthropologist frpm the Unite[, States national mu- seum at Washington, said that in his opinion, the stones were used as an- chors on Mongolian boats traveling from Siberia to Alaska and then were 'carried inland and used at a settle- ment which is now .buried.
