"Daphnew He cried out in pain at
the very thought.
She went on, educating him with
vengeance: "plenty of temptation and
plenty of opportunity, daddy. II wasn't
your fault. You gave me all the pro-
lection that anybody could, daddy.
But you can't protect people all the
time. And 1t was when you trusted
me most that you protected me most.
People are just beginning to realize
that even In pcnitcntiuries the higher
the walls and the strictcr the guards
the more prisoners try TO escape.
They're sending convlcts out to work
on roads now with no guards at all.

was convinced of the security of neil
Their the convicts nor of the women
under these new annrchies. He was
convinced of only one thing, and that
was his helplessness.
Daphne took him home In n taxicab.
At the apartment they caught Bayard
just rushing for his office. He greeted
his father with whirlwind affection.
but he knew that he would please
Wesley better by hurrying on to his
office than by neglecting his business
for the purpose of entertainment.
Wesley took Leila by storm with his
lavish and whole-hearted praise. He

praise Bayard for bringing her into the

her have her way and If anything goes
wrong she can always come back
home"
His wife boiled over. II made her
feel as much ut home as an old kettle

"Oh, guess she's not going to ruiz

1t was bald plagiarism, but Daphn
made no complaint. Wesley got int
trouble ut once, however, by makin
the suggestion that his wife remai

Kip took It as sign that he wante
to get rid OF her, and Daphne refuse
to take II Mt all.
Wesley sat bordering In silence 70

"Be back in little WHILE" took hi

They wondered what mischief h
was up to and what folly he woul
commit. He came back In half II
