TN time the discomfort of his position
at the table wore through the wrap
pings of slumber. Whitaker stirred
y drowsily, shifted on the chair, and
discovered cramp in his legs, the pain
of which more effeotually aroused him.
He rose, yawned. stretched, grimaccd
with the pain of his stiffened limbs, and
went to the kitchen door.
There was no way of telling how long
he had slept. The night was still black
the moon not yet up. The bonfire had
burned down to a great neap Of glow

The wind was faint. a mere whisper

at his shoulder, blind and weeping.
Thrice he started from his bed, wide
awake and glaring, positive that Drum
mond had been in the room, but the
moment gone. And each time as he lay
back and sleep stole in numbing waves
through his brain he passed into sub
consciousness with the picture before
his eyes of a seething cloud of gnlis
seen against the sky. over the edge of

He was up and out in the cool of
dawn, before sunrise, delaying for some
minutes at the foot of the staircase TO
listen for any indication that the
woman above was awake and stirring.
But he heard no sound in that still
house, and so left 1t. There was no
