When Kate started clearing away the breakfast things, Justin Parsons set out in the direction of the accident of the night before.
 He came back as Kate was finish ing putting the clean dishes away.
 Cars there," said Justin. Caught in the trees on the embankment; can't be hurt much"
 Perhaps you had better tell him, from Kate. He might want to make some arrangements about it.
 Big, heavy car.' Justin explained. Must have cost the young man a pretty penny"
 With that the elderly man turned and went toward the room occupied by the owner of the car.
 Shortly he returned with the news that he had been instructed to get the Sullivan garage on the wire and have them get the car, repair it and get it back as soon as possible.
 Justin went about carrying out the instructions. He rather liked having something unusual to do. He had all ways had a bent for tinkering with machinery. so he stayed with the car and watched while the mechanics got 1t into shape to move.
 Meantime Kate went on with the
