A day was to come when Kitten

there was in Ted Lanier.
Just an average young fellow,
this Ted-perhaps rather above
the average--who liked to listen
to the call of adventure.
But he had his own code and It

But she did. She had heard
about this place; curiosity burned
through her. She walked beside

antlers and hunting pictures. No

She stood. staring at it perplex-

turned and ran lightly down the
stairs to ask the three musicians

Sally several times. "He seems

door.

He turned the car and put on

The house was unbelievably
quiet when they unlocked the
front door and stepped into the

Sally told her. She wound up
by telling her what the doctors

herself, "I never get caught up

with the bottle filled she rushed
upstairs to give her father his
drink of water, and to reassure
her mother that he was all right.
But Sally, herself. was not at
all sure that he was all right.
He was so quiet and listless some
how, as if he did not care whether
he was alive or not.
For days she had been growing
more worried about him, and her
worry was reflected in her mir

Kitten went on down Main Street

She turned at the River Road
and began to walk slowly. At
Brookside the big car Of another

helped her in.

She stretched herself out on
