I got a hold of his wrist, which
stopped him, and he whimpered. Then
he broke away and showed himself at
the window. At this the man on the
lawn smiled with a ~ioyousness that
was a triumph. He indicated in a flash
that he had found what he had sought.
He smiled sc that I could see the white
of his teeth. He had been uncertain
and puzzled when l first saw him look
Ing up at the windows of the house.
With Jed framed in one of the Win
'dows, he was triumphant and rejOic-
ing. Whatever he wanted he had
found something which pleased him.
Jed was furious. the more furious
because he was helpless. He would
have murdered the man on the lawn
If he had had any means of doing so.
He was so furious that he did not
care how he revealed himself to me.

Jed took a step forward as If in
pursuit, but stopped with that one
movement. 1t broke the situation
down and made it possible for me to
return to animation. Seemingly my
powers of movement and speech had
been suspended. l looked at Jed, who
was as pitiflSly frightened as a child
in the dark. He made every demon
stration Of fright except wailing. Then
he braced himself, recovered his cour-
age and without saying anything went
into the house to join Mr.. Sidney.
