Afraid to risk rolling up the shade, she pushed aside the net curtains and 'slipped between the shade and the window, unable with the" utmost care to avoid making some noise. The torch clicked slightly as she showed her light, and four times again when she answered the flashes from the hill. "Celia?" said a fretful voice. "What are you doing?" "I looking out. I couldn't sleep." Celia ducked under the window shade and stood dimly silhoutted against it. "I thought I saw a queer light." "It it's moonlight. I moved the shade. I think I'll put on a bathrobe and go downstairs for a while, mother." She wanted the comfort of that answering flash again. "You'll do nothing of the kind Get straight into bed."

"It's hard enougab for me to have to stay up; here all this time because of your outrageous behavior, without be ing kept awake all night. I don't pee why you can't !e like other girls. You have a good father and a, good home, and yu ought to appreciate them. You ought to be thankful fot all he does for you. It you d Just promise not to be headstrong and silly, he'd give you everything you wanted " Everything he wanted, you mean," Celia interjected, but her mother went on without a pause: " and the least you can do is show some regard for his wishes, and some gratitude. You're too" young now to do everything you'd like. Your good times are com ing. Your father knows what is best for you, ad it's your duty and ought to be your "pleasure to obey him.

"I thought you put your faith in direct inspiration and didn't believe in plans,' sheT countered, limpling. . - "They're no good until you get the lay o the land, and some idea of how the cat's likely to jump when she's turned loose.' All you can do at first is to prepare for ev erything you can think of that could happen, and then watch your chance to start something." "And you have," she said soft ly. "Peter, what an Idiot I was to imagine I could get Celia away alone!" Piggy flushed to the roots of his dyed hair, but replied in the gruff tone tributes always drew from him: "Oh well, you'd have done it somehow, if I hadn't butted in. Anyway, we haven't got her yet. It's a darn shame that Cody had to leave with G. A. Otherwise we might have established a sort of underground postal system, and maybe she could have given us some tips. But we may not he able to get any more notes to her, and unless we can. we'll just have to go it blind and take a chance on her playing up." "Haven't you any plan your self?" "Nary a plan.
