love. It's in the back of the house
where it's quiet. You know, you'll
need room like that if you're going
to sleep in the daytime"
The Locked Door
She led Verna thru the dark hall
and stopped in the rear. She fumbled
a while for her key and then throw
ing open the door of the room re-
vealed a palatial chamber that was
riotously barbaric in its color scheme.
Verna had never seen anything rich
er and 1t astounded and awed her.
The walls were hung with light green
satin. the furniture was lacquered To
red trimmed with gold, there were
small, dark red Persian rugs scattered
around the floor, the low bed was
covered with green and silver
spread and piled high with q score
of pillows Of every color while above
was q royal purple canopy.
'Is this for me?" verna gasped
stopping with open-mouth ON the
threshold.
"Why certainly" Mrs. Quill assured
her, lowering the corners OF her
mouth in a sardonic smile. ."Don's
friends always are welcome to the
best. The bathroom is right through
that door. Refresh yourself, child,
and get a little sleep. Mr.. Baxter
says he'll come after you about noon.
Wher she had closed the door
Verna sank down on the beautiful
bed in state bordering on stupe-
faction. Had she done wrong to come
here? Hadn't it been unWlse TO let
Don talk her into coming to kaleS-
burg alone with himP Might there
not be some understanding between
him and Mrs. Quill? Funny that she
should be given such a palatial room.
Why Gid Mrs. Quill smile SO pecu-
liarly?
AS these questions raced through
her head she thought suddenly OF the
charm hanging against her breast
She gave start and stood erect, APP
prehensive, terrified. She gripped the
charm in her right hand and prayed
silently for the strength and inge-
nuity to realize her ambition. In the
dim, early morning light, her face
tense, her beauty seemed unearthly
and magically transparent.
Suddenly she tiptoed to the door. 1t
might be a good idea, she thought, to
explore this place. Perhaps she might
hear some scrap o. conversation that
would prove helpful to her In shap-
inc her course. One could not be too
careful in strange surroundings.
She placed her hand on the knob,
turned it softly and pulled The door
would not bulge. 1t was locked!

ding appearance. Verna didn't like
the looks of it at all
Here's where we get out" said
Don cheerily. He wanted to reaS-
sure Verna because he had noticed
her glance of apprehension. Mrs.
Quill is a fine woman. She'll look out
for you better than your own mother
She's been a friend of our family
for twenty years. Regular fellow. too,
believe me-"
Verna. still apprehensive, for some
strange reason that she could not
fathom, said nothing but merely nod
ded and smiled and followed Don up
the steps. He rang the doorben. They
waited what seemed to be an INTERIM
Unable period in the gray, chill morn
ing air. Across the street jet BLACK
cat meowed diSmally, ran half way
toward them and then turning in its
tracks dived into a cellar window.
Farther down the street a sign
creaked eerily and Verna was startled
by the sound OF a newspaper being
blown down the street.
Then a Shuffling could be heard
on the other side of the door, the
bolt was shot back and, mirrored in
a rectangle of yellow light stood a
tall. gaunt, seamy-faced woman,
Slightly stoop-shouldered, who peered
out from under shaggy eyebrows with
deep-set eyes that bored them
through and through. She was dirty
yellow in color, her hands were long
and talon-like and she was wrap
ped in soiled dark red bathrobe
1t was Mrs. Quill, the landlady.
Hello. Donald" she greeted Baxter,
with grim smile, who's your
friend?'
He introduced the two women and
they shook hands. Verna did not like
the looks of Mrs Quill There was
something sinister about her whole
mien, something that warned one to
take care and be on the alert.
Come right upstairs with me-"
dearie," said the landlady. 1--WE got
a sweet little room here that you'll
