room where Babe I.;ttleford lay with
a bandage- about her temples. Ben Lit

wringing his big. rough hands and beg
ging %piteously TO be forgiven.
Babe stared at him a tritie coldly.
She had not yet seen the two men who
stood in the doorway. Then she IN

was room in the bungalow, Patricia
said; and she really needed company,
because Bobby was away so much.
