The lawyer did not bat an eye-
lash. “Isn't that the truth—now that
your head has cleared?"
“Why drag in Letty?"
“Why not? You’ll have to ex-
plain those threats, and that does
it—with no discredit to yourself."
Deck grinned. "You're a swell
lawyer, Monty."
“And you need one."
Deck rose with a vague word or
two. Silently we sat there and
watched his tail figure sauntering
away. Monty Mitchell's lips were
creased in a taut line; he knew,
and I knew, with heart-catching
anxiety, that whatever Deck had
done or not done, whatever had
been between him and that dead
woman, whatever danger menaced
him now, he was going on in his
own high-handed way, to play his
lone. defiant game. And I was ter-
ribly afraid for him.
