stricken from the voting list, which you
can determine by writing to the board
of registrars at your residence. If your

be eligible to vote by mail, making ap-

!, Times had changed since the
Careys, thirty years ago, had mar
ried, but he didn't believe they
had changed much. They might
smile at flirtations among their
guests, but they would certainly
find nothing mirth-provoking in
the presence of young woman
In the bedroom Of one of their
masculine guests. Entirely aside
from the fact that the young
woman was a notorious thief, the
Careys would not forgive so glar-
ing q breach of the hospitality 50
freely offered by them.
Lessing didn't doubt that there
were hostesses. rulers OF menages
that passed for fashionable, where
almost anything was winked at,
but Newport was the last retreat
of dignity as it fled from the on
slaught of jazz, and discovery now
would mean future ostracism,
And suddenly Leasing did not
want to be ostracised Entirely
aside from the fact that the Careys
were most valuable clients, who
would, by their very interest in
him, inevitably send other wealthy /.
clients to him, he wanted to retain
their goodwill for reasons that
were not finan2 2ial. He had felt
"out of it, tonight, but that didn't
mean he must continue to feel that
way. He wanted to recapture that
lost youth Of his, wanted to play
around with young, attractive
people, wanted to be part of their
pleasures. their lives.
What a damned hypocrite he
was, He was unwilling to face the
truth. The reason he didn't wish
to be discovered now was because
he didn't want this girl to get
into trouble Why not admit it
frankly?
Dressed, he entered his bedroom
again. She was no longer curled
on the bed, but was seated in one
Of the big chairs. She had accomp-
lished certain miracles in her ap.
pearance, was no longer untidy,
and surely did not look like one

automobile and drove off at high
speed, eluding pursuers.
So the officers had not caught
that rocking. plunging car after
all! Mary held her breath as she
read about the chase through
crowded streets. The gunmen
had sped through cross traffic
at one point but with no more
damage to themselves than crum-
pied tenders. Those who had
seen declared it miracle. Then
the car had turned a corner and
disappeared.
No one. the news story went
on, had been close enough to OBJ
tain descriptions Of the bandits
and no one had noted the make
of car. This appeared to be due
to the fact that the desperadoes
turned their guns upon the area
about the bank and sprayed it
with bullets. That none was hit
seemed the greatest miracle Of
all.
"Shucks," Mary grumbled to
herself. "They don't know what
they're talking about. Every
shot was high-even the machine
gun was pointed up excepting
when Corso tipped it so it ripped
the pavement. They didn't want
to hit anyone; just scare every
body. And dozens must have
seen what they looked like and
nobody could mistake that car.
Now I wonder"
1t was her first experience with
the tangle Of assertion and denial
which always surrounds crime
and she had plenty of time to
do great deal of wondering
before the newspapers stopped
printing stories Of the bank hold
up.
Mary had no craving for ex-
element and she did have the
average persons terror of pub
licity. Yet Daddy Bill had bred
in her a deep respect for order:
once when he had gone out of his
way to help put down a strike
in the sugar beet works back
home he had explained that it
was the duty of every good citi.
zen to uphold the laws OF the
land.
Remembering this, his daughter
now asked herself what she ought
to do with the information she
possessed. She knew at least two
of the bank robbers and was
aware that her testimony would
go a long way toward putting
them in prison. A terrific thing
to do--say the words which would

"And what now?" he asked.
"You must get me away from

fIatIy, matter-of-factly, as though
denial on his part was beyond
the bounds of possibility.
''You want me to help a thief

asked.
"This thief" she calmly told
him.
"You will. of course, return to
me what things you have-er--ac-

demanded.

she countered.
He stared at her. God help
him, it didn't make any differ

ever she might be, she was the

into Uncle Sherwood's study be-

out, praying that the grinding

a moment later stopped the
machine near a huge tree. From
its shadow the girl stepped
forth. and in a second the car
was moving again.

there may be someone awake in

Like a kitten she slipped from
the seat to the floor of the car.
and even had the lodge keeper
been peering from a window. he
would have seen only Lessing.
In another moment she was seat

turned down Bellevue Avenue,
past the magnificent lawns with
their age-old trees. through the
town. and finally out upon the
road to Fall River.
Dawn was nearer now. AS the
road mounted slightly, they could
see the Sakonnet River and the
long green peninsula beyond. That
almost eerie beauty OF just before

view with more compelling charm.
