"AhW Then came the sound Of heavy
steps. and Barry glanced toward the
door, to see framed there the gigantic
form Of a grinning. bearded man, his
long arms hanging with the lOoseness OF
tremendous strength, his gray eyes
cleaning with twinkling interest, his
whole being and build that of great
good humored, eccentric giant. Then the
voice came, rumbling, yet pleasant:

Then they faded through the doorway
and Barry could hear no more. But he
found himself wondering about the girl
and her interest in Fred Thayer, and
whether she too, might be a Part Of the
machinery which he felt had been set up
against him: about the big. grinning

''Ouchl Don't-don't do thatl"
Barry suddenly had ceased his thoughts
to jerk his feet far up under the covers,
laughing and choking and striving to
talk at the same time. At the foot OF
the bed. Ba tiste, his eyes twinkling more
than ever, had calmly rolled back the
covering and tickled the injured mans
feet.

The simple statement OF the gigantic
WIPER swept thu confidence from Hous-

decision had been a hasty one. scheme
to take Thayer of his guard.
"When's the doctor coming again -

The big man snapped his fingers.

Barry could think only IN terms Of
