In the delicate, fresh June dawn
the Ffrencb limousine crept into the

skidding lurch that threw a cloud of
soil high In the air. Emily cried out
Mr. Ffrench half rose in bis place.
"What's the matter?" dryly queried
Bailey. "He's been doing that all

her, repeating bis former feat with
appalling exactitude.
