"Something that I intend to look into," Bryan said quietly. "There's a story here—if I can dig it out."

He thrust the envelope and pencil back into his jacket, together with the slip of paper he had been given. "I'll be running along, Dave. Thanks for your tip. It was swell of you to remember me."

"I've been running a rat-race," Bryan said.

"You look it, Terry. You don't look as well as you did when you first came back from overseas."

"I'm serious, Terry. I've had an idea you weren't happy about things, and now I'm sure of it. What seems to be the trouble? Your job?"

"The job's all right."

"You won't tell an old friend?"
