CHAPTER Xxx
Breaking Out i'm a New Place.

breaking Out in New Place.
Hunger reused everybody early
the next morning, Friday. Leila
Mercer had discovered a box of
bonbons that she had forgotten,
and we divided them around.
Aunt Selma asked for the candied
fruit and got 'ft-quite a third OF
the box. We gathered in the
lower hall and on the stairs and
nibbled nauseating sweets while
Mr.. HARRISON examined the tele.
phone.
He did not glance in my direc-
ton. Betty and Dial were help
ing him, and he seemed very
cheerful. Max sat with me on
the stairs. Mr.. HARRISON had just
unscrewed the telephone box
from the wall and was squirting
into it, when Bella came down
stairs. 1t was. her first appear
ance, but as she was always late
nobody noticed. When she
stopped, just above us on the
stairs, however, we looked up, and
she was holding to the rail and
trembling perceptibly.
"Mr. HARRISON, will you-can
you come upstairs?" she asked.
Her voice was strained, almost
reedy, and her lips were white.
Mr.. HARRISON stared up at her,
with the telephone box in his
hands.
"Why-er-certainly," he said,
"but, unless it's very important,
I'd like to fix this talking ma
chine. We want to make a food
record"
I'D like to break a food rec
ord" Max put in, but Bella Gre
ated a diversion by sitting down
suddenly on the stair just above
us, and burying her face in her
handkerchief.
Jim is SICK" she said, with a
sob. "He-he doesn't want any
thing to eat, and his head aches.
He-said for me-to go away and
let him diei"
Dial dropped the hammer i'm
mediately, and Lollie Mercer sat
petrified, with a bonbon halfway
to her mouth. For, of course, ii
was unexpected, finding senti-
ment of any kind in Bella, and
none of them knew about the
scene in the den in the small
hours of the morning.
"Sick!" Aunt Selma said, from
a hall chair. "Sick! Where?"
"All over" Bella quavered.
Ellis poor head is hot, and he's
thirsty, but he doesn't want any
thing but water"
Great Scott" Dial said sud
denly. Supposed he should

Bella put down her handker-
chief and got up. From her po-
sitfon on the stairs she looked
down on us with something of her
old naughty manner.

Jim fidgeted. Bella was hav-
ing spasms of mirth to herself,
but the arbison man did not
smile. He stood for a moment
looking at the fire: then he
thrust his hands deep into the
pockets of his dressing-gown. and
stalked over to me. He did not

staring down at me. You are
not Mrs. Wilson? You are not
married at al? All that about
being neglected-and loathing
him, and all that ON the roof

truth ?"
l could only shake my head
without looking up. There was
no defense to be made. Oh, l
deserved the scorn in his voice.
"They-they persuaded you, l
suppose, and it was to help some
body? 1t was not a practical
joker"
NO" l rallied a little spirit
at that. 1t had been anything but
joke.
He drew a long breath.

said slowly, ''but-you could
have saved me something. l
must have given you all a great
deal of amusement"
"Oh, no." l protested. I'll
want to tell you"
But he deliberately left me
and went over to the door. There
he turned and looked down at
Aunt Selma. He was little
white, but there was no passion
in his face.
THANK you for telling me all
this, Miss Caruthers," he said
easily. Now that you and /
know, I'm afraid the others will
miss their little diversion. Good
night"
Oh, it was all right for Jim to
laugh and say that he was only
huffed little and would be over
it by morning. l knew better.
There was something queer in his
face as he went out. He did not
even glance in my direction. He
had said very little, but he had
put me as effectually in the wrong

liberately kissed me-that very

l distinctly heard the knob of the

however, and so l got up quietly
and went over in the darkness.
There was no sound outside, but
when l put my hand on the knob
felt it move under my fingers.
The counter pressure evidently
alarmed whoever it was, for the
knob was released and nothing
more happened. But by this time

fumbling of a knob at night had
