CHAPTER xIl.-continued.

The Watermelon leaned back wear
lily Indifferent and drew out his cigar
cite papers. Alphonse climbed ODE
diently from the car, with his usual
imperturbability. Calmly and willing
ly he scaled the stone wall and set OFF
across the field with his captor. Tom
thoughtfuIly examined his gun, one
eye on the motor-cars.
The generals desire to explain was
superseded by a still greater desire to
get away. The grim faces of the two
men impressed him with the gravity
of the event If they were to escape.
now was the time, when the forces of
the enemy were divided, but there was
his car. He could not leave that be-
hind and the man in the road was
fairly good reason for him to remain
where he was and make no attempt to
reach it. Bachelor had put up a clever
bluff, but it had been called, and they
had to sit there until the return of the
other man, when they would be ex-
posed, for of course the key wouldn't
fit. That second man was stubborn
brute. The Lord had made mules. He
didn't intend men to be.
Henrietta depressed a wild wish to
scream aloud. Never, never again
would she go into another mans
house unless expressly asked to do SO
by the owner. She glanced behind, up
the hill, toward the house. Alphonse
and his captor had just come into sight
again and were returning through the
field. Henrietta breathed heavily. This
was awful When the two reached the
stone wall, she hoped she would faint.
She knew she wouldn't, she never
tainted She turned ABOUND that she
might not see them. Nothing could be
done, apparently, but simply wait for
