pompous, austere, but Henrietta had
not lived with him for Ave and thirty
years without having acquired the
ability to read his every mood.

matter? Have your sins found you
out?"
The general waited for the slattern-

breakfast and leave the room before
he spoke.

to the back of the house, too" said

being a master mechanic, he would
have been a famous detective.

until after eleven, and just before
came in saw him drive up with the
girl. They had been out to some dance
and left her and drove on"
The girl appeared in the doorway
wiping a plate, slip-shod andsawkward.
Henrietta blushed, the general was
painfully confused and the other three
turned their attention hastily to their
food.
Want anything?" asked the girl.
mo, thank you," replied Henrietta
gently, feeling that in judging the
stable-boy she had somehow injured
the girl.

in the doorway, much to the generals

"No, thank you," said the general,
confused and unhappy.
Mrs. Parker smiled still. II am glad

graph and telephones as long as Dos

to reach Harrison and get lost. But
getting lost wasn't as easy az It up
peared. when the general was along.
thoroughly determined not to get lost.
Bartlett's thoughts were broken, in on
by the Watermelon In a way that
caused him quick alarm. The young
man had at last awakened to the gray
ity Of the situation, as Bartlett had
been expecting him to do ever since
the trip began.
I'VE had better telephone" said the
Watermelon. "as Parker says: We can
telephone for money and have It sent
to Harrison, and we can ride to Harri.
son and probably get there the same
time as the money, does and get the
train for Boston. It's time we were
back in New York. anyway"
The trip We ended and the sooner
he left Billy the better. He could give
them the slip 1T Harrison and once
more hit the road. f.t

1t is only ten-mile drive. We can

The Watermelon looked sharply at
Bartlett and wondered II he were up
to any tricks. The Watermelon had
only ten more miles Of Billy and he
didn't want to shorten the precious
time by a confession II there were no
