exclamation, drowned in splintering
crash of china as Lucile's bowl OF
chop.suey struck the floor.
The girl sprang to her feet in simu-

"Cet him out of her quick or shut
him up. He hasn't any sense"
Sheldon's hand fell on Homer's
shoulder.
St "shut up, you darned fool" he
rumbled. Dual oughter told me to
gag you. A man can't tell when you're
goin' to shoot off your face
He rose and lowered above the
youth. blanketing his pale face and
.twltching features with his bulk.
Dual. too, had risen and moved to
Sheldon's side. Now he spoke.

With Colonel Mac leading Homer
and we others following after. we
made our way from the room, down
the two flights of stairs and paused
while Dual settled our score. adding
the price of the broken bowl.
Sheldon's features wore scowl'
and the hand on Homer's arm gripped
pretty firmly; so firmly in fact that
Reich complained:
"You don need to break my arm.
You're hurting. Let 60"
He twitched at the grasp OF the fln-

"You oughter be hurt" growled
Sheldon. "Ain't you got no sense at

Lucille drew her steaming bowl OF

chop-sticks as one accustomed and
gave proof of the assertion that she
was hungry.
Sheldon eyed her performance up
on the mixture of chicken, ham, rice
sprouts, and mushrooms, with uncon-
cealed interest.
pYou act like you Liked it." he
grinned.
Lucille nodded and smiled. Il dc"
she admitted. Here, taste 1t. Open

She deftly fished up ball Of shred

tent.
Other guests had entered and found
seats while my thoughts had held me.
They came in by parties and alone
from time to time. 1t was after one
such arrival that Miss Foote's actions
caught my attention.
From no apparent reason she short
ened her chop-sticks and using their
butts, tapped McKabe lightly on the
hand.
