swer Sara was staring across the
water, her eyes big and as black as
night itself. She seemed to be looking
far beyond the misty lights that bob
bled with nearby schooners, far be
yond the yellow mass on the opposite
shore where town lay Graded in the
shadows, far into the fast darkening
sky that came up like wall out oil
the east.
Hetty's fingers frightened in a
warmer clasp. Unconsciously perhaps
Sara's grip on the girls shoulder
frightened also; unconsciously, for hel
thoughts were far away. The younger
woman's pensive gaze rested on the
peaceful waters below, taking in the
slow approach of the fog that was
soon to envelop the land. Neither
spoke for many minutes: inscrutable
thinkers, each a prey to thoughts that
leaped backward to the beginning and
took up the puzzle at it's inception.

narrowing with the intensity Of

Sara answered the unspoken ques

Hetty started How could you have

cried in wonder.

yourself when will turn against you,
"Sara!"
Your own intelligence should sup

ruptly removed her hand from Hetty's
shoulder and walked to the edge O.
the veranda. For the first time, the
English girl was conscious Of pain
She drew her arm up and cringed. She
pulled the light scarf about her bare
shoulders.

Queer things like that happen, don't
you think so?"
Mas. Wrandall leaned forward and
spoke to Leslie. AS he turned, she
handed him the envelope, without
comment.
Great Scott" he exclaimed.
"Mr. Booth is a mind reader" She
explained. "He has been reading
your thoughts, dear boy"
Booth understood, and grinned.

the dumfounded Leslie, still staring
at the sketch. Upon my word, it's a.

conspirator. 1--WE never met her"

Later in the afternoon Booth came
face to face with Hetty. He was de-
scending the stairs and met her COM
ing up. The sun streamed in through
the tall windows at the turn in the
stairs, shining full in her uplifted face
as she approached him from below.

amazement. She was carrying a box
