watched Ledforge.
He saw the

Tope paused, and in
the in sta n t of silence. A dam heard
M r. E b e rly 'g teeth c h a tte rin g togeth­

ra c in g thoughts behind L e d fo rg e ’ *

c u rtly :
"W h a t of it?
What has that to

"W h y, M iss Ledforge h a sn 't seen

Ledforge crie d, in q u ick h o rro r:

"B u t I

The fire had burned low. " I ’l l take

stood before them in flannel s h irt,

shoes w ith ru b b e r soles; a spare,

“ I t was H o ld o m ," he began then
" I can see w h a t was in his m in d , |
what he trie d to do.”
And he e xp la in e d: " A week ago.
I would have been as m y s tifie d as '
you, because I had a lw a ys truste d i

He paused, but no one spoke. So
he went on:
