*‘l hav« thought of it, yen,” I

minimize something to which.he
patently ascribed .m|K>rtan<e
Put secretly I did not think the
reference in Marion* letter to
“something Mu* ’ which Mary had
cnee promi'* i for her redding
meant anything more than a
frantic attempt of the captive girl
to have her mother get hold of
Mary, and thus have her letter
decoded.

“But you do not place much

“I won't *ay that," I returned.
“Rut of one thing I am sure.
There I* no reference in the
code honk to an> thing blue for
a wedding.”
“I am aware of that," he said
impatiently. •‘Rut there may he
memories shared by those two
girls which are not Jotted down
in a code bonk "
“No doubt there are," I a< •
quesced.
"The only doubt I have Is
hovi much Marx can remember
of their earlx companionship.
“**he was older than .Marlon,
™ and at that age the difference in
years meant much more lhan
now.
“Mary xxas approaching young
womanhood. Marlon xxas still a
rhlld, although there xxere not
ao many actual .xears hetxxeen
them.
“I do not know that I am e\« J
plaining this xery xxell." I said I
haltingly, "but I am trxing to
tell you that their companion*
ship meant much more to
Marlon than to the older girl.
"She would be apt to remem
ber many things about xxhich
Mary’s mind would now be a
total blank."

A Sequel to Marriage Meddlets
| “That xx 111 be vnur task," he
said. "to explore .Mary’* sub
conscious— isn't that the modern
Jargon?—and get her to re
member as much of that early
association as she can.
"Get her to tell you exery*
thing she can remember, no
matter hoxx trivial; any childish
pacts they made, no matter
how silly they may sound."
There was . something in his
voice xvhich suddenly made me
fee] asbamed of having dismissed
Marion's mention of "something
blue" so lightly.
For I was suddenly «ure that he
attached great xx eight to what
Mary could remember of her
early companionship with Marion
What it was he expected to find
out. he of course had no idea, but
it was plain tha* he considered it
fertile ground, and expected me to
delve in it.
"Where xx ill Mary be?" he
asked. a« we neared the Lans
field
Ml ST ( ONVINC’K NOI'I.
“She xx hs to sleep In my
suite," I -aid
"This Is about her usual
xx i«kmg time, so I Imagine she Is
still there."
"Then please lose no time In
going directly to her." he said.
"When you haxe finished find
ing out about Marlon, plan xxith
her about the best method of
contacting Stephen Redfleld.
"She must placate him so that
he xx 111 resume the companion
ship from xxhich xxe already
haxe gleaned so much xnluahle
Information.
"Rut before she sees Redfleld
you haxe a most Important task,
you knoxx I .’’
M.v thHo.it xxas suddenly dry
Indeed I did knoxx for he had
made it plain, but it xxas a task
for which I had hut little taste;
which, rather, 1 greatly dreaded.
"I suppose you mean seeing
Noel.” I said, "and making him
•ee reason about Mary’s re
newed association xxith Stephen
Redfleld.
"I must tell xou, father, that
I haxe xery graxe doubts about
being able to bring Noel around
to your point of view."
"If you haxe doubts, of course
you won’t succeed," he said with
acerbity.
“I am asking you to put those
doubts aside,, and talk to .Nf*el
with full confidence that he xxill
see the justice of the thing, as
we do."
I wanted to say:
"But he happens to he Mary’s
husband.
Instead I asked quietly:
"Do you xx ant me to talk to
Noel before I go back to the
I'nderw oods ?”
My father gave me an incredu
lous stare.
"But of course." he said. “As
soon as you haxe finished ques
tioning Marx about Marlon. I
xxish you to go directly to Noel."
