It's great function is to cause the

CHAPTER Xxx.
Breaking Out in a New Place.

breaking OUT IN New Place.
Hunger reused everybody early the
next morning, Friday Leila Mercer
had discovered box of bonbons that
she had forgotten, and we divided
them around Aunt Selma asked for
the candied fruit and got it-quite 8
third of the box. We gathered in the
lower hall and on the stairs and nib
bled nauseating sweets while Mr..
HARRISON examined the telephone.
He did not glance in my direction.
Betty and Dial were helping 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
1t, when Bella came downstairs. It
was her first appearance, 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 machine We want to
make a food record
I'D like to break food record"
Max put in, but Bella created di-
version by sitting down suddenly on
the stair just above us, and burying
her face in her handkerchief.
Jim is SICK" she said, with sob.
'He-he doesn't want anything to
eat, and his head aches. He-said for
me-to go away and let him die!"
Dali dropped the hammer immedi-
ately, and Lollie Mercer sat petrified,
with bonbon halfway to her mouth.
For, Of course, it was unexpected,
finding sentiment 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?"

"Great Scott" Dial said suddenly.
Suppose he should-Bella, are you
telling us all his symptoms?"
Bella put down her handkerchief
and got up. From her position on the
stairs she looked down on us with
something Of her old naughty manner.
"If he is i'll, you may blame your
selves, all Of you" she said cruelty.
"You tainted him with being-fat,
and laughed at him, until he stopped
eating the things he should eat. And
he has been eXercising-on the roof,
until he has worn himself out. And
now-he is i'll. He-he has a rash"
Everybody jumped at that, and we
instinctively moved away from Bella.
She was quite cold and scornful by
that time
"A rash!" Max exclaimed. What
sort of rash?"
Il did not see it." Bella said with
