He felt unwilling to face New

noon about the place playing with
Bobby. Three or four times he called
up Carroll by telephone. After dinner
they sat on the porch until Bobby's

bed and sat talking with the youngster
as long as his conscience would permit.
Then he retired to the library.
Suddenly Orde leaned forward. bis

a moment he arose and quietly walked
toward the open window. Just as he
reached the easement and looked out
a man looked in. The two stared at

"Come with me-" said Orde briefly.
He led the way around the house to

Heinzman sat down on nail keg.
Orde looked at him curiously. He
was half dressed. without a collar. his
thin hair unkempt. His eyes burned
bright as though from some internal
fire.
