1t was nearly II o'clock and there
had been no word from Dot. Now I
was certain that there had been an
accident-perhaps a serious one.

train which took Dots parents home
had left at 8 o'clock. Even if Dot

terrible one.

attention whatever to another wom-

had really never appreciated her, and
this was my punishment.
Twelve o clock! | heard a clock

think of some possibility that could
account for Dot being so late
