sion had held awe-struck converse with
Aunt Martha on the long-distance Hne.
He had a homesick longing now to
evoke her kindly voice, as he gazed at

wall. but repressing the feeling as un-

stared Stupefed for a moment, but when
the mans fat hands began rumuag ging
through the top drawer, with head bent
tntently over his task, the shrewd old
brain cleared as by magic, and he was
once more the man of family, who had
come to take care of Janet and her pos

ment of ear-racking noise to extract
the key gently from the lock on the
inside. close the door even more gently
and lock il on the outside. Then, as
OF rheumatism, he skipped down the
stairs and ran to the telephone. The
number of the nearest police station
was on the wall card, and in a few min

When he was beginning to limp about
