II IN. MISS COrnel1a pOnQereQ.
"And this is the first time you have
been disturbed?"
"Last two days only" Billy would
have made an ideal witness in a court
room-he restricted himself so pre-
cisely to answering what was asked
of him in as few words as possible.
Miss Cornelia ripped out a row in
her knitting. She took long breath
"What about that face Lizzie said
you saw last night at the Window
she asked, in a steady voice.
Billy grinned, as if slightly embar-
raised.
"Just face-that's ALL"
"A-man's face?
He shrugged again..
"Den't know-maybe. 1t there! 1t

Miss Cornelia did not want to be-

out after it?" she persisted.
Billy's yellow grin grew wider mo,

succinctness

up" began Miss Cornelia undauntedly,
but long, ominous roll of thunder
that ratified the panes in the French
windows drowned out the end of her
sentence. Nevertheless she welcomed
the thunder as a diversion. At least
its menace was a physical one-to be
guarded against by physical means.
She rose and went over to the
French windows. That flimsy bolt
She parted the curtains and looked
out-a flicker of lightning stabbed the
night-the storm must be almost upon
