She hurried to dress, wondering why it had not before occurred to her, and, phoning up a taxi, rolled downtown to the office of Doctor Hart. An hour or so later she returned. A picture of her man stood on the mantel.
When she flew in again she was surprised to see Clo in bed as before. But hardly was the door closed when the girl threw back the coverlet, to show that she was fully dressed. "I was afraid Sister might pop in by an evil chance," she explained. "I've only to put on my hat. Well, is it all right?" "Roger will go," said Beverley. "He's 'phoning now for his car.
"Just got a wire from Professor Bumper telling me. He asked me to telephone to you about it, as he was too busy to call up on the long distance from New York.

Think of him 'phoning me, instead of his wife sitting down and writing us a regular bid! Well, I guess we're stuck for it. That's the trouble with all this class-brother hooptedoodle."

Not over the bodies of a loved friend and an honored foe would Errol Banneker climb to a place of safety for Io and triumph for himself.
I have just been 'phoning to her. She is coming at once." There was another pause. "I'm afraid she has bad news." "What news?" There was silence at the other end of the wire. "What news?" repeated Sally, a little sharply. She hated mysteries. But Fillmore had rung off. Sally hung up the receiver thoughtfully. She was puzzled and anxious.
What idea did this fellow have in the back of his head. Did he intend to do bodily violence to him? Without any delay Bromfield reached for the telephone. The large brown hand of the Westerner closed over his. "I'm talkin' to you, Mr. Bromfield.
