derstood both the stitching and the

himself duly specializing as to what
career he would have carved out for
himself were he given in boyhood the
opportunities they rejoiced in.
But throughout there was in his sur
charged brain current of cunning
purpose First. there was Greiner,
away in the north. robbing a dead man
and plotting desolation to some girl.
He must be dealt with.
Then he, the slayer, must be slain
and by his own hand. He would spare
his sons as much pain as might be
within his power.
He would not merely disappear, leav-
ing them dubious and distressed. No.
They must know he was dead, not by
suicide, but by accident. They would
mourn his wretched memory. Better
that than live with the abiding grief
OF the knowledge that he was Philip
Anson's murderer.
