To find q youth whose dusty suit
The air of business wore.

He shant find me here,'' she thought doggedy, and rose to make her escape through the side door It locked and she rememberd that Josiah had the key She could hear his footsteps going round the back door. In moment he would be inside There was not time for her to get the chain off the seldon-used front door. What should she do? Desperately she glanced back into the bedroom whence she had just and which she and Josiah had occupied for so many years The closet? Nol she would smother Josahs hand was the latch. She made wild dash for the room-and craw1ed under the bed This was rather tight squeeze for woman of Mandy's porty figure; comfort in such place of concealment perhaps questionable, but she balanced the dis comfort of facing Josiah against the possibility of choking to death with a suppressed sneeze or cough she assured herself that she would far rather make the best she could of the Judgment Day than to counter Josiah and strike her coors She had come to her final decision without that weighty consideration regarded desirable in important matters, and now she must abide by it.
