 He stopped and surveyed the tor mented creature before him will sinister affa blity. Harold cou!dn': endure it. He staggered over 10 the nearest chair and dropped down with his face in his hands.
 Huck pretended to be touched. "iou'll have nothing 10 worry about" he said smoothly, "when Pamela and I are married. No, be quiet" he rasped as Harold jerled up his head to speak.

 "Well?"
 Harold stood in the sitting room Of the luxurious suite in the Judson that Huck Connor occupied on the same floor and next to his own rooms. It was a familiar suite to him.

 Something was in the wind. So much was plain. and Harold senscd that whatever it was it foreboded further trouble for him. Never be- fore had he seen Huck so openly agitated. Ordinarily the man was masterly ill his calm, suave domi- nation of any situation.

The small | attention 10 his creature pleasure l coming from man whom he knew to be as ruthless regarding his soul as the devil himself, never failed to whip the boy into a fever of i'm 1 potent rage.
 But now. missing the gesture, he experienced a cold dread It in dubitably had taken a matter of im- mensely disturbing proportions to ! upset Huck. And he was upset. His face was almost drained of blood. but his eyes gleamed satancally, and 1 there was even the hint of a SUD- looking lips.
