CHAPTER X.
THE AMERICAN BAR "You're wanted at the 'phone, Mr.Britt," said Miss Pelham.

It was late in the evening a day or two afterward.

Britt went into the booth.

He was not in there long, but when he came out he found that Miss Pelham had disappeared.

The coincidence was significant; Mr.Saunders was also missing from his seat on the window-sill at the far end of the long corridor.
