Without speaking again Ward went
out and closed the door firmly behind
him. He felt relieved to be away from
Bucks presence. AS he climbed the
blum and mentally relived the last
hour he wondered how he had kept
from shooting Buck as soon as he saw
him. Still, that would have defeated
his main purpose, which was to make
Buck suffer. He was afraid he could
not make Buck suffer as Buck had
made him suffer. because there were
obstacles In the path OF a perfect retri-

Ward was gone an hour. He did not
hurry; there was no need. Buck could
not get away. and a little suspense
would do him good.
