Kent went back to his desk, slid the
typewriter out of sight; and lighted
cigaret. He watched. Haskins turn
the last page and lay it on top of the
others.
Haskins was sitting motionless,
gazing out of the window. Kent had
never seen him motionless before, and
the thing struck him as incongruous.
Then he started suddenly and glanced
at the clock.
"Kent" he called.
Kent went over to the desk.
'Have you spoken to anybody
about this story, Kent?" he asked,
suddenly.
Kent shook his head.

was searching.

Haskins picked up the pile of type

other and tore them again. A third

he dropped the pieces into the basket.

Kent, who had been writing stead

Some of the rest of it he did not
remember so clearly. But that did
not matter much; the story was told.
She cried very little, and that seemed
to him queer; most Of the time her
eyes were dry and unmoving. He re-
membered that some of her talk was
incoherent. I
He arose, pausing for an instant
to look down at the crumpled figure.
There was an unnatural fascination
in the misery of this creature who
could not understand. A voice from
somewhere seemed to be crying:
"Thief!'
And then he cursed himself for the
pause, for she was on her knees-to
him her white face upturned, the
desperation of terror in her eyes. The
wrinkled letter lay on the rug in front
of her, hand clutched convulsively
toward him, and she was moaning:
