V Vanessa 'l'here were two or three other .business men at lunch, and Lor- ion had no chance of any more private conversation with his chief, of which he \was rather `glad, as the dazed feeling oc- casioned by the encounter of the morning` had" not yet worn off. Alterwords he had work to do in his own room. It was just about closing time, about half- past ve, -when he remembered that he wanted to see Macpher- son about some small matter. He went downstairs into the Scots- man s private room in the ship- ping department. But Macpher.. son was not there, and the clerk told him that the manager was attending a meeting to. inquire into a defective rudder supplied to Tone of the Monk boats. I Lorionwas just `going away, when he heard a strange `sound in the small room that led off the Scotsman s private olce. It was a sound so strange that he pausedkand, heedless of the clerk, opened the door and peer- ed in. What he saw made him enter the room with a swift stride and an exclamation of concern. . . ~. , It was a small room, with white-painted walls and a rich, dark carpet in which Macpher- son's typist did herwork. At the farther end was the table that supported the machine, and the sight that Lorion discovered was `su"1c,ie.ntly.distressing to a izoung man -of sympathetic` na- l1I`e - uX`gir.l.sat with .he.1- arms `on the typewriter and her head bur; ied' in ._ them, 2 sobbing` violently.
