I'll call the bank and tell them that I am coming.

But first I must send a message to my father." With these words, Grace walked to the telephone without giving Hammond time to answer.

"Give me Main 268a, please," she said.

With a bound he sprang to the door, but it closed in his face, and he heard the turn of the key in the lock, just as Grace calmly called, "Hello, is this Chief Burroughs?
Is my father there ?" Then she answered, "You say he is there?
Well, this is his daughter, Grace.

Please tell him that Miss Savelli and I are just about to leave Mr.Hammond's office, and wish him to meet us outside." Hammond sprang toward Grace, but instantly realizing that it would be folly to molest her, drew back, scowling savagely.
Grace hung up the receiver and rang again.
