He tossed Il contemptuously over
the rock. The beautiful virgin sky
had suddenly grown dark. With a
fierce pang, he felt a wild rush Of
longing for the solitude OF his prison
cell. At this moment his wife seemed
less a woman to him than a disturbing
element IN his long-cherished plans.
He flushed darkly. TO wait three years
for this!
He crossed oyer and laid one arm
on her bowed shoulders.
Molly" he said huskily. Molly, you
don't know what you're saying-you
don't know what you're doing. There

Good h~eavens!" he calculated.
