DEAR TEDDY:
Have been trying all day to get hold of McKenna, but they tell me at his office he's out of town. I want to see him very much. If you know where he is, please have him call me up. Shall see you at Mrs. Fontaine's tonight.
RITA.
P.S. Please find McKenna if you possibly can.
"By Jove—McKenna!" he exclaimed, and hastened toward the door, only to be stopped by Gunther.
"Ted, you blockhead, what are you doing?"
"Going after McKenna."
"Just what he doesn't want."
Beecher stopped short, suddenly comprehending.
"That's it, is it?" he said, returning. "He wants to keep clear of Mrs. Kildair's, then?"
