plaintive moan. They reached
the farmhouse in a little while

dow opened, a man leant forth;
there was a flash, a decorating

charge of a shot scatter along

With a wild cry he whipped

that he still held the baby. A

of content, Billings passed the
child to the woman and dropped

fingers, and discovered that it
was an egg.
With horrible avidity he lick

felt around and found dozen
more. Thinking nothing of

in his mouth, smashed them in
