cheerily in passing. when Janet ar

Janet was paling to her lips. In the
pause, Harlan seized the paper.

the room. They followed him, the
tramp printer wailing, babbling rear
guard. When he reached the News

Janet threw a blank sheet from the

"Ah. welll" She turned: Il will have

He must have sat without a sound. He
was by the table, his head resting on
his hands. Something like a whis-

moved toward the door. When her
fingers were on the knob, her voice
arrested her.

a curious face in the door When Har-

a grinning trepidation. The younger
man motioned to the table He laid
upon It the pages from Boydston's slip.
Then he turned to the little gray boss
and quietly, as il beginning an address
