daughter uarbara peter learns she is interested in the ease for some reason she con fesses that she was engaged to don ellsworth before his marriage chapter vii contd for an instant a whimsical smile flitted across barbairs eyes like a shadow of a cloud drifting across a meadow then her face hardened again it comes to this doesnt it you offer to sell your silence about my per sonal affairs for an interview with my father not exactly though i admit you sound quite devastingly logical peter remained invincibly debonaire but it tcally isnt so bad as that re member there is an actual possibility even a probability that the disap pearance of mrs ellsworth involves a crime at least well have to go on that assumption until the lady herself turns up blithely to tell us differently if that assumption is correct finding out the facts is a far more important consideration than your very natural dislike of having your personal affairs become public property i have gain ed the definite information that you were formerly engaged to ellsworth and theres nothing to prevent my making use of the facts gleaned in this interview with you on the other hand if i had a chance to talk the case over with your father he might see things from an unguessed angle- turn up something quite different and more important im more than will ing to admit that hes a darn sight smarter sleuth than i am id cheer fully let him knock all my flights of fancy into a cocked lat the slight figure in the drivers seat turned sidewise facing peter square ly rigidly erect you said you were being frank well im going to be frank too mr piper james aloysius piper com monly called peter mr piper im not a society bud at least only a grafted one im a gutter snipe really i grew up in a foundlings home i was a homely scrawny little thing and my hair was straight so the ladies looking for blue- eyed curlyhaired darlings always passed me by theyd come and look us over you know and at last they didnt send for me any more even to be looked over after youre seven years old theres not much chance they put me down as uradoptable and all the time as soon as i was old enough to think anything at all i lived in two worlds there was no hope for me except to be put out to service as soon as i was old enough barbaras eyes were gazing sight less through the window of the coupe beyond peters shoulder her voice rushed on low and breathless but i vowed i wouldnt be a gutter snipe in my soul somebody sent an old set of howard pyles king arthur books to the orphanage in a christ mas box i read about those knights over and over i lived in those stories i didnt think much about honesty but i came to care a lot about honor loyalty the aristocratic virtues the kind that are useless and expcnsvo and that arc not calculated to get you anywhere if you are a gutter snipe they had a reality be yond tho reality of a foundlings home incorruptible incorruptible beauty the 1 urried voice died away peter crouched forward in his seat saying nothing well when i was fourteen year dr cavanaugh was called in as con sultant for ono of tho children who had what they call a neurosii sen sory anaesthesia it was it doesnt happen very often barbaras voice resumed its normal tone ho is like that you know he will take any case no matter how poor tho patient if it interests him he saw mo in the hall almost ran over me in fact in tho dim corrido and when ho had set mo on my feet ho stopped to talk to me casually i stood thero wiji my back against the wall and before he had left i had told him what i had never told any one i told him about the other side of me the side thati wasnt a gutter snipe the herald office in a state of inner turmoil much as he had seldom known well for the moment you win he had said and barbara had not refused the hand which peter extend ed at that moment cf parting she had looked more than ever like alice in wonderland grown up impossible to connect a girl like that with a secret perhaps a sinister secret vhy she would not have look ed out of place playing house with acorn dishes under a spreading tree peter smiled at the picture a dreamy boys smile such as no member of the herald staff had ever seen on his face he brought himself up with a start because a girl was young and pretty childlike even was no reason at all why she might not be capable of the whole range of human passions j and acts the cleverest woman forger o her time interviewed by peter in i the city jail where she awaited trial had been a neat motherly person who looked as if she spent her afternoons in baking cookies and her evenings in tatting mary saunders the tiger woman who had killed her rival by inviting her to call and then efficient- i ly battering her skull with the tire tongs had a sweet appealing ieee and the air of one misunderstood by a cruel and captious world and there was more much more to barbara cavanaugh than an at tractive face thats where women have the edge on us every time peter growled theres something to that turkish what new york is wearing by annabelle worth1ngton illustrated dressmaking lesson fur nished with every pattern veil idea if they all wore veils thats 7llreallyexccpt that the tlic s away with considerably chance stumble over an awkward little girl in an orphan asylum corridor changed all of life for me i didnt know then of course that dr cavan augh was a great man that i was the simplest sort of 123 problem in his hands i only knew that i wasnt turned in on myself any more thero as some one else now who knew about that inside world of mine i used to slip around the corridors like a little gray fiittcrmouse on the days when he came to visit his patient i wouldnt have taken a step towards him nor spoken to him for tho worid but he always found me and stopped to talk or to let me talk rather id save up things in the night to say to him hoard them and then pour them all out pellmell he was the first human being remember to whom i had ever really talked barbara paused her dreaming eyes fixed on vacancy there was no sound from the figure beside her she might even have forgotten his pres- ence and then as soon as the papers could be put through he adopted me me the unadoptabo child who had no other expectation in life than to live in that gray limbo of drab paint ed walls he gave me more than luxury and education and normal amusements he gave me ufa itself if there happens to be a heaven the thing that will shine out in dr ca7 radio letters mean he forcibly clawed his mind away from tho intrusive image of barbaras yellowbrown nair curved above small closeset ears he even shut his eyes thereby narrowly missing collision with a lumbering tuck all that aside he murmured all that aside a wave of spontan eous admiration lifted him on its crest hoooooo huhuhuhoo he whistled under his breath that girl is no fool he crowed and found an inexplicable delight in the admission well he was no fool either if it came to that suppose with those fantastic storybook no- tions of honor in her head she had j over the coat of p cre felt that don ellsworths defection was an affront to be avenged sup

fashion as pose she had taken matters into her own hands to oust sheila oshay as an interloper suppose nothing to be proved as yet but a good deal that was worth watching peter piper was seized with a desire to understand barbara to know of a surety what unifying reality lay behind that wide brow and tiptilting nose and firm chin he wanted to know he want ed to know not because it might be news but because the knowledge had somehow become important to him to be continued vanaughs record isnt the books that hes written nor the cases hes solved nor the cures he has made if st peter tried to shut him out thered be the ghost of a little girl in a gray orphan asylum frock pulling the gate open with her scrawny unkept hands barbara glanced down at her slim manicured fingers so you see she leaned back against the side window and turned on peter the clear est most ingenuous of smiles im not likely to try to bamboozle dr ca vanaugh for anybody in any circum stances whatever peter shook himself he came with an inner crash outof a daze into the bumptious world of reality his eyes scanned tho face tilted slighly up ward confronting him there was a trace of inner triumph in that linger ing smile is it possible peter mused aloud that you were clever enough to tell i me all that in order to tie my hands because you know that i cant pos sibly write anything about you now unless youre willing im a bum re- porter i guess he added disgustedly but i couldnt do it it is quite possible barbara as sented calmly i spent the most im pressionable years of my life in fend ing for myself singlehanded you mustnt forget that im essentially a gutter snipe chapter viii peter piper drove bessy back to quick delivery london letters written in mid atlantic on one day will be deliver ed to
