"Was Malcolm Scott in a sanitarium?" John interrupted. A light was beginning to break. If Scott was crazy that would account for his getting him drunk and taking his papers.
"Stop it, Mai," she ordered impatiently. "There's no sense in pretending that you've forgotten running away from the sanitarium last night, phoning me to meet you here this morning — what is it, Paul?" she added as the butler, who had slipped out of the room earlier, entered.
"There are two gentlemen to see Mr. Scott," Paul said. "They are from some ii i in nee company."
"I haven't got any insurance and I don't want any," John snapped.
"They aren't selling insurance, sir." Paul said. "They want to talk to you about an accident.''
The girl glanced at her wristwatch. "You might as well see them. Mai. You seem to have forgotten whatever it was wanted to talk to me about and I have to leave anyhow. Tell the men Mr. Scott will be free shortly, Paul."
"Thank you, Mrs. Scott," Paul said, and withdrew.
The name hit John with all the force of
a thunderbolt. "Are you — are you—" he

Color flooded her face. She sprang out of her chair, her brown eyes sparkling wrathfully so thai they sent little tii
along John's spine. "That," she cried furiously, "is tlie lasl straw. Since you can't even remember that we are married 1 shall take steps to see that we don't stay married and this lime I really mean it!" paying no attention to John's frantic "Wait, let me explain" she caught up her furs and ran blindly out of the room.
JOHN'S interview with the insurance men didn't last long, hut it did turn the masquerade into .i grim dilemma. Assuming thai he was Scott, they told him they just wanted to cheek on the l.iet
that he had spent the previous evening with John Evans in a hotel bar. They had made that discovery, they went on, while investigating Evans' death in connection with a $20,000 accident insurance

policy payable to Harold Phillips. John carried no insurance of any sort and was about to blurt out this fact, along with his true identity. Then he recalled that accident policies, unlike life insurance, do not require physical examination, which made it entirely possible for his onetime partner — for some mysterious idea of his own — to have taken out such a policy without John's knowledge. If this were the case, John decided, he'd better get some more information from the investigators before he gave them any.
So he held his tongue and the next moment he realized how lucky it was that he had, for one of the men said that there was some doubt that the dead man was really Evans and that if Evans was alive he would face charges of working in collusion with Phillips to defraud the insurance company. Even while the man was talking. John was reflecting that it was darned lucky his attempts to convince Mrs. Scott and Paul that he wasn't Scott had failed. For there was only one thing to do now; keep on being Scott until it was safe for him to be John Evans again.
As soon as the men left. John rang for Paul. By pretending that he had forgotten past events, he led Paul to him a pretty complete picture of Scott It wasn't a pretty picture.
