"Well, I am sorry I (bothered you,

himself in. Jerry redescended the

that fiction of having gone to his

Jerry turned back toward Ironburg.
The recent interview, exactly be-
cauie it was unsatisfying, provided an
stimulant, and Jerry recalled, the 'ad-
dress of a possibly helpful acquaint-
ance.
"Mart MacDowell!" •
If Jerry had never known Twomb-
ley of Troy, he did know somebody
else lately domiciled there. MacDow-
ell was one of those not uncommou
birds of passage who collect prospects
for enterprising and bonus paying in-
surance companies' during their own
frequent intervals of leisure between
steady jobs. True, as much as a
month bad elapsed since. Martin went

Telegraph him then. No telegraph
office in Ironburg? No, but Ross ran
the public telephone there, so the
message could be transmitted to
Americus. The plan became espec-
ially- urgent because it supplied a
legitimate excuse for parley with the
offended Miss Walker. Jerry jogged
to the store.
No Rose, though. He thought -there
was nobody -until a snarl greeted
him from the shadows in the post of-
fice corner.
"So it's you, Miss Shinn! You're
looking so blooming. I mistook you
for the boss,"
Angela was, seated and didn't get
up. -
'What do you want here?''
"I'd like to have Miss Walker,"
"Well, you can't,"
"Then gladly accept youi as a
charming substitutee-and rm pleas-
ed to see you've recovered."
• "Hum," said Angie,
"Regained both health and spirits,

disappointment.
