ously flung into cornfield?
 She could bear no more, could no longer lie safe in her berth while David needed her some W here. Very carefully. for all her haste. she lifted the tiny body that nestled against her side and laid 1t tenderly upon the pillow. which Was big enough to serve as mat ,resS for the midget. Then. sob ping Soundlessly, she groped for her shoes in the little green ham, mock swung across the windows; found them. put them on. slipped 10 the edge of her berth. She Was profoundly thankful that the girls had not undressed her after she had fainted.
 When she reached the car in which Mr. and Mrs Bybec occupied a stateroom she saw the shoWnau and his wife through the open door, talking to two strangers whom shu guessed 70 he pluiDrlothes police men from police headquarters ot Capital City. The two men were evidently about 10 leave, holding importantly that they understood, when Sally appeared. like q fright cned, pale little ghost in green and W hte- striped gingham.
 She forgot that she was without makeup, that the police were look ing for her as well as for the crin1- inals who had robbed the safe. But Pop Bybee Rad not forgotten. Suil talking with the plainclothes dctec- lives. he motioned to her violently behind his back. She turned and forced herself to walk slowly and sadately toward the other end of the car as the detectives mad" their fareWells and their brusuuc promises of quick action When the men had left the car Byhees voice summoned her ln q husky stage whisper. calling her "I.alla," so that the detectives, If they were listening, should not identify her with the girl who had run away from the orphanage in the company of a man wanted on a charge of assault with the ln- tent to kill.
 Are you crazy?" Bybee demand ed hoarssly when she had como run ming to the stateroom Them was i dicks! Policemen. understand? :? They mighta nabbed you. What are you doing up? Get back to bed and try to sleep
 Have you found David? 2" she quavered. brushing aside his anA- 1 iety for her.
 i Not q sign of him." Byhec shook his head But l didn't spill l the beans to the dicks. I'd given you my word, and Winfield Bybec's word is as good as his bond I'm going to look for DaSid," she announced simply. but her 1 blazing eyes dared him 10 try 10 1 prevent her. Hes hurt someW here or killed I'm going to find him"
 And before the astonished man or his wife could stretch out q hand to detain her she was gone. When she dropped from the platform of | the car she heard the retreatin g roar Of the police car. Instinct turned her in the opposite direc- ton. away from the city. down the railroad tracks leading into the open country.
 She did not know and would not have cared that Mir. and Mrs. By bee were following her, Mrs Bybee muttering disgustedly but refusing to let Sally search alone for the boy in whom she had such implicit faith.
 Dawn was breaking. pale and wan, in a sky that was shameleSsly cloudless and serene after the yio- lence of last nights storm, when over slight hill, a mans figure loomed suddenly. then seemed to drag with unbearable "eariness as it plodded toward the show train.
 "David.' Sally shriek"d. "Da- ,il,"
 She began to run. her ankles turning against clots of clnders but her arms outstrctchdJ. q glory greater than that of the dawn 1T her face.
