More days, wholly tineventful.
Then Mary began to be onsessed
with the feeling that she was be-
ing watched She saw nothing to
bear this out and heard nothing,
yet it was ever with her. A sense
of eyes boring, following her every
movement.
When she walked on the ter
race afternoons she would turn
quickly, peering into the shrub
berry, vibrant with the green of
early spring. Sometimes she
would race down the drive to the
gates, scanning the road in both
directions, or she would scrutinize
Mystery Palace, endeavoring to
penetrate the secrecy that brooded
over it. But never was there any
thing tangible to lend color to her
suspicion. SO she put it down to
nerves and tried to overcome it.
But one morning Blessing said
someone had been snooping about
the house the night before. Quite
easily they traced steps in the
soft turf by the back door, The
identationS were wide but not
deep. so Mary judged they had
been made by not very heavy

After that she was on the alert,
growing rather tense with watch

She slept jerkily, starting up and
running to the window. prowling
about the house and trying locks
and bolts.
Thus it was that once in the
middle of the night she picked out
a tall figure standing near the
entrance at the end Of the drive.

Then he moved off and she noted
the wide hat and the puttees. A
State trooper, one she often had
met on the road.
Relief overwhelmed her, only to
surge back and leave her terrified.

they guessed Danny was there?
She told Blessing, trembling,

Still his expression did not
change. She went up to him,
put her arm around his shoulder,
and began to cry. And then he
spoke gruffly to her, but his
anger had gone, and soon he was
pleading with her to stop.
He was serious now. He had
taken the position of command
