words of hymn he had sung only
the preceding Sunday:
"As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase"
The words kept ringing in his ears
as he listened to the conversation in

the door thinner, and he heard much.
Foyle had asked him not to intervene,

"Sit down." was the sharp rejolnder,
and a pistol was in his face before he
could draw his own weapon.
Put your gun on the table," Foyle
said quietly. Halbeck did so. There
was no other way.
F'oyle drew 1t over to himself. His

For an instant she was silent and
looked down at the floor. Presently
she raised her eyes, her face suifused.
Once or twice she tried to speak. but
failed. At last she gained courage
and said:

He jerked his head toward the

"Oh, those drunken fools!" she said
Indignantly, and her face hardened.
"How hate drink! 1t spoils every.

He nodded grimly. That's likely.

."1've got $500 year, Nett. you

she continued, but I'd like to punish
