"Go to the telephone" Mrs. Williams
said hoarsely. "She wants to talk to

Mr.. Williams was already on his
way.

over his shoulder.
Mrs. Williams stepped into the front
hall.
"Sam!" she called, addressing the
upper reaches of the stairway. "Sami !"
Not ever echo answered.
"Sami"
\ faint clearing of somebody's throat
was heard behind her, a sound so mod

than just audible, and, turning. the
mother beheld her son sitting upon
the floor in the shadow of the stairs

wished to produce the impression that
he had been sitting there, in this some

Mr.. Williams entered at one door
as his son crossed the threshold of the

as if to flee outright. But Mrs. Will

Mr.. Williams turned abruptly,
walked to the fireplace, and there
turned again, facing the wretched
Sam.

She departed, and Mrs. Williams
continued to sew. The days We're grow

obliged to put the work aside, as her
eyes did not permit her to continue it
by artificial light. Descending to the
lower floor. she found the house silent,
and when she opened the front door
to see if the evening paper had come,
she beheld Sam, Penrod and Maurice
Levy standing near the gate engaged
in quiet conversation. Penrod and
Maurice departed while she was look

thoughtfully up the walk.
"NYell, SAM" she said, at wasn't

Herman and Verman listened-awe-
