n lishtning, clinging craziiy to the

\ one weeping and unshuttered win
~ As he watched this blurred light,

'n.ible to ask for shelter, the door
n.ned from inside, was shut with
Gculty. and some small. fiuttering

The little girls pale, pointed face
,istened up at him. Her little hant

"What did they send you out for?
The child's urgency Overcame hel

"Yes, mister"
Get back. You're wet through al.

She seemed to be blown back into
Ne house and Q bent his supple
ltength against the storm and fought
through the streaming darkness, find
ng the entrance presently, tianked by
)tf pale ghosts. He thundered pre-
ently at the door of the frame house
seemed a long time before his thunder
pfought an opener. Bolts were delib-
rately withdrawn, tall, scrawny,
pArded figure in flannel nightshirt,
hewing fat feet and hairy legs, held
"a kerosene lamp and peeped at Q.

The man reluctantly admitted 1t and
