And, on the other side of the closed door leading from the farther recesses of the suite, Grace listened, breathless. CHAPTER XVIII. The Third Degree, “Miss Kelly,” began Mark, after full minute of a silence that bit Wanda's very nerves, “you say were at the ewitchboard downstairs a few moments ago?” “Yes, sir.” “While I was talking to the Asso- ciated Press office?” “How can 1 tall, sir?’ she asked with emailing helplessness. “You we're not allowed to listen to conver- sations over the wire.’ “But you connected me when I called up 4400 Main just now?” “Oh, yes, sir.” 38. with Mr. Blake.” that on SiE* | Then she emtled.

If it had been an accident, you would have shoved the plug back into place, immediately, when we told you. Isn't | that true?’ “I s’pose 80,” she admitted sulkily. “Then, Miss Kelly, we are forced to believe that you deliberatly refused tc transmit our message.” “You can believe anything you want to,” she returned spitefully. “I don’t care what you believe!” i The line of questioning had thrown her off her carefully prepared line of defense. Angry, confused, she tossed | aside her useless weapons and was | for the instant merely a worried and | much badgered little girl. i “Is it not true,” repeated Robertson | in measured query, “that you delib-' erately refused to transmit our mes- sage just now?” | “l s’pose 80,” she vouchsafed. “I in.

But I guess I can | find another job!” | “It may not be necessary,” suggest: ed Mark. “Miss Kelly, we don’t want | to harm your prospects in any way. | We wish merely to show you that it is | to your interest to work for us. Mr. | Blake has told you how necessary it is | for us to gain the information that you | = alone can give us. He will pay you | well. We have asked you to come up here tonight to find out whether you will not accept this offer.” i “Well,” she inquired in weary pa | tience, “what is it you want me to tell you?” “We want you,” replied Mark, “to tell us a number called up by Mr. Standish early this evening.” He paused for her answer. The oth- ers leaned forward. Wanda alone was unconcerned. She was twisting the little bracelet on her wrist and eying it with new and hap pily absorbed interest from a dozen successive points of view, “Mise Kelly,” demanded Mark, “will you tell us that number or will you not?” “Why,” answered Wanda with a charmingly foolish smile of crass help- | lessness, “1 really don't think I can remember it.” “I think you can,” contradicted Mark. “You knew beforehand, from Mr. Blake, how much depended on it. | You surely remember.” “That's 80,” acceded Wanda, eéeeming #0 grasp the strength of his argument as by inspiration. “I surely must. But, ‘you see, it's against the rules to tell. Oh, gentlemen,” she cried longingly, “I'd just love to help you out. Any- thing I could do. Anything at all.
