looked out the window down the steep descent of
the town to the bay. Silence, instinctively pro-

had all listened to his fathers voice, and had
waited for some word of denial or of excuse from
the white-lpped culprt. None had come. Only
once, when the elder Priestey had announced that
he would torbear to prosecute account of his

connection must cease at once, the poor criminal
