brought glow Of achievement to his
perspiring face. Alan was placed at
the newell at the foot of the great stair
case and duly admonished in treble
voices not to look. The treble voices
rained excited instructions on him. car
ried away by youths confidence In its
ability to teach its grandmother how
to suck eggs. Alan started to count
slowly In sonorous tones. With a last
shrek and the patter Of many feet the
trebles faded away into silence.
Alan crept stealthily up the stairs.
Out of the corner of his eye he caught
sight of the twitchlng jumpers of the
littlest, who was too fat to quite ct the
retreat he had chosen. But Alan did
not quite see until 1t was too late. The
littlest exploded the vast breath he
had been holding in and plunged head
long down the stairs. As he rolled by
the newell he stuck out a sturdy arm
and held fast. He shouted a pean of
victory and once more palpitating 81
lence fell on the house.
Alan wondered II he could find the
way to the little attic. He hurried
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
the rafters. A box or two and more
disabled furniture Uttered the floor.
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.
Suddenly a bit OF the pendent ward
robe was flung aside and an apparition
dashed for the door. Alan sprang in
front of 1t, threw his arms around It.
held it tight. 1t struggled, laughed,
ceased to struggle, and looked up as
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
blood as he had never known before.
He wanted to kiss Glen. 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
Glen. His soul cried, "Sacrilege," and
he dropped his arms from about her
and stepped back.
Glenn stood before him, dazed. She
was in her stockinged feet. In each
hand she held a 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 disordered
hair from her forehead. "Yes, I'm
caught" she said, and her lip trembled
on the words.
