Mir. Mann Of Anytown took his baths by the calendar and not by nc- ccssify. To him Saturday night was significant because 1t was bath night.
 Had he been or an inquiring turn Of mind. he would have learned that. for centuries. the bath was a luXu- riant pastime among the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks.
 In fact great works Of arc were created about tho baths, and such q state of iuXurianee did 1t achieve that Seneca, the Roman philosopher, once wrote. ITO such pitch of luxury have we come that wo arc dissatisfied unless we tread on gems in our baths"

Little Mrs. Bird slid the masked door into place behind her. shutting away the underground tunnel through which We had male our passage rom the hous. lo the garage at ;hc bacs of her grounds Then she marsAaied Us into .loubIe line. allOtting a child 10 each adult
 With Robert al her side. she led the way. l was behind her with Mary. Harriet next with the smaii l:e.Ierick. and Edwin last with Nn- liam by his side. The driver oi thr Car in which l had ridden from the city materiaiizcd apparently from nowhere. and taking the iusgagc. brought ID thr rrar
 "Ramembrr. uot a soun!." said Mrs. Bird softly. wth her hand upon small door ut the garage, opening in the direction Of the bay, "l can't use the nashlighi. So each Of you will have To follow the one directly in front Of you. Don't step aside from the path because youIl g,t into swampy ianI. Don't worry, though. could walk this trail bindfolded. and luckily there's just touch Of fog, so nobody q few feet off possibly can see us. Nobody around. Johne"
 Not a sign" the young driver replied in the same munlcI tone she had used. Mart and ] have just been all over with g fine tooth comb. and he's still roaming around on the job. Sobody'll have a change to get near you -s:il they're safe in the boat"
 "All ready then" Mrs. Bird care fully unlocked the door, which swung back noiselessly on oiled hinges. and VIC filed out into the darkness.
 l took Mary's hand in mine, fixed my eyes upon Mrs. Birds indomit- able little figure trudging in front Of me, and concentrated all my facul- ties upon keeping my feet and Mary's in line with those Of Mrs. Bird and Robert. Mary's mittened hand chung to mine tensely, but was as sure that child was not frightened as was that she was reveiing in the mclodramatic situa- ton in which she found herself.
 "Eyerything All Ready"
 We walked over low though un- even ground for a little, and then I found myself following an ascending path which wound up almost 10 the house and the bay. We were almost st the top when I found that tho path suddenly diverted to inc right, and, skirting the hill, We descended upon the other side 10 the level again. and followed a fairly straight path 10 the low boathouse lying dark. almost undiscerniblc. Here Mrs. Bird halted us. speaking for the first time since VIC had left the garage.
 Keep tight hold of the childrcu's hands," she warned, "and stand where you are. The water is deep right here now al high tide"
 l could hear the tapping of the water distinctly. and as my eyes be- came moro accustomed 10 the place l snw that We were standing directly in front Of a small narrow inlet, no wider than a creek, upon which close to us was drawn up a medium sized motor boat.
 Everything all ready, George" She spoke apparently to the empty air, but a voice from the boat re- piled grunly:

 '"rhere will be none" Sallie's stout heart uuaicd al the implacahle | hardness Of the third masculine voice which entered the conversation. Could those be the suavc. rnctnons tones of Dr. Quarters? "1 can answer for that. Whether Mir. Sloat's plans succeed or fail that grave can never be permitted to give ID it's dead"
 The level, unemotional tones made the monstrous utterance all the more horrible and sickening nausea swept over the listening girl hut she fought back desperately, for the law yer WIS speaking again.
 What do you think Of the girls possibilities. Mrs. Copeland? You had an opportunity 10 study her to- day. Tn the event that she proves tractable, can she be trained so that she will pass muster?'
 "she is q common little creature, slangy. half-illiterate, but should not consider her stupid, by any means" Sailie's face stung hotly at the contemptuous drawl. ''She has temper and a will Of her own but she conducted herself rather clever ly today. Don't you think so. Wheeler"
 Sloat laughed shortly.
 "Oh. she'll do." he replied. She tried to pump me about the accident when you left us alone this after noon but aside from that she was turey on the defensive. trying to discover why we had brought her here, without showing her own hand. Oh. you won't have any trouble with her. know her kind Give her jewclry and clothes and luxury. show her a little lifc--she probably has been nowhere except behind the coun- ter and to cheap motion picture or on an excursiCn-and she'll be glad enough 10 forget that hole she came from and everyone m r,

 sallie teamed her head against the aoor for a moment and biiHding tears stung her eyclids but she Rinked them ficrcely back.
