PART ONE

By the end of October. with the dis
persal of that foliage which has served
all summer long as a pleasant screen
for whatever small privacy may exist
between American neighbors, we begin
TO get our autumn high tides of gos-
towns of moderate size and ambition.
where apartment houses have not yet
condensed and at the same time
sequestered the population, one may
secure visual command of back yard
beyond back yard both up and down
the street; especially if one takes the
trouble TO sit for an hour or so, daily,
upon the top of high board fence at
about the middle of a block.
OF course an adult who followed
such a course would be thought pc
culiar; no doubt he would be subject
to undesirable comment, and presently
might be called npon to parry severe
If, indeed, not hostile inquiries; but
boys are considered so inexplicaDle
that they have gathered for them
selves any privileges denied their
parents and elders; and boy can do
such a thing as this to his full content,
without anybody's thinking about ii at
all. So it was that Herbert Illings-
worth Atwater, Jr, aged thirteen and
few months. sat for a considerable
time upon such a fence, after school
hours, every afternoon of the last week
In October; and only one person par
ticularly observed him or was stimu-
lated to any mental activity by his
procedure Even at that. this person
was affected only because she was
Herbert's relative, and of an age SYM
pathetic to his-and of sex antipa-
thetic.
In spite of the fact that Herbert IL
lingsworth Atwater, Jr. thus seriously
disporting himself on his fathers back
fence, attracted only this audience of
one (and she hostile at rather dis

should have been considered piquant-
ly interesting by anybody. After climb

produce from interior pockets a small
memorandum book and a pencil sell

mediate use. His expression was
gravely alert, his manner more than
businesslike; yet nobody could have
failed to comprehend that he was en-
joying himself. especially when his at
titude became tense-as at times II
certainly did. Then he would rise bal
ancing himself at adroit ease, his feet
aligned one before the other on the
inner rail. foot below the top Of the
boards, and with eyes dramatically
shielded beneath scoutish palm. he
would gaze sternly In the direction of
some object or motion which had at
tracted his attention; and then, having

he would sit again and decisively en-
ter note in his memorandum book.
He was not always alone; he was
frequently Joined by friend, male.
and though shorter than Herbert,
quite as old; and this companion was
inspired, 1t seemed, by motives pre-
cisely similar to those from which
sprang Herbert's own actions Like
Herbert, he would sit upon the top Oh
the high fence. usually at a little 1is-
lance from him; like Herbert he
would rise at intervals, for the better

Mrs. Atwater murmured absently,
