| Mitchell stood at the open door and
/ looked out on the narrow, brick paved
! lane which leads up to the Sunday school.
! He went a few steps from the door, with

breath. Besides Stromer would be hard
upon his heels. At that moment the
great hulking figure of Perry, the car
man. blocked the opening at the end of
the lane. Stromer was still busy in the
