Alan wondered If he could find the

along the twisted halls, up tiny flight
of steps, turned, dived through a low,
narrow tunnel and threw open the
long-forgotten door. 1t was as though
he had suddenly opened portal on his
own childhood. A great, pensioned
rocking chair held the middle of the
floor as within his ken 1t always had
held it. Ancient garments hung from
pegs on the walls and from hooks on
A run

The whole was family lit up by the
/ light from a little dormer window.
Nothing stirred. Alan drew a long
breath. He was not disappointed. No
one had thought to come here but him
self.

Alan looked down. Clem's face was
very near to his. Her body, still throb-
bing with excitement. was in his arms.
Alan felt such a rioting surge in his
DlOO0 as he udu never kuOWn D6r0re.
He wanted to kiss Glenn. He felt that
he must kiss her, that there was not
strength enough left In him to do any
thing else. Then his eyes met hers
and he forgot himself and remembered
Glenn. His soul cried, "Sacrilege," and

was in her stockinged feet. In each
hand she held little slipper. Her
eyes were big and full of the soft re-
proach Of the mortally wounded. Alan
felt ashamed and looked away. He
had to break the silence. "Well, you're
caught" he said lamely-
Glenn dropped one slipper. threw up
her hand and brushed the disordereu
hair from her forehead. Yes, I'm
caught" she said, and her lip trembled
on the words. ,....
