fore Tim spoke again, answer ing Linda.
 Some time late this afternoon, ma'am. He was just back on land after a mornin's fishin' and hungry for lunch and so were the men with .him. Mad he was--swearin' mad--and would not hurry a step, he said, and the lot of ye could wait his pleasure. He'll be havin' his meal and collectin' his belong in's. sir" This to Tom who he appeared to think would to some degree sympathize with the politi- clans interrupted holiday. "He and his friends will come back as they went in the automobile of wan of them. 'Tis four hour ride aisy, the roads being crowded-like on ac- .ount of the holiday, and If they'll not be startin' till after lunch time which isn't yet-'twill be six or sivin o'clock before they reach town"
 And these people must wait all that time!" Dr Parsons ex- ploded.
 '.It's orders, sir" Tim was not enjoying himself. "And that's just what pr Boyle himsilf was afther saving. How many have ye visit ing here, Mrs Averill, may | ask ?"
 Tom spoke slowly. He had not failed to observe the quickly yelled sparkle in Linda's eyes and her flush of excitement.
 Four men, Tim, to stay over the weekend. They're all getting ready to go of course. I was to take them to the station for the 12 o'clock train. Will Dr Boyle want to see them too?" | He said iviryone in the house, MT Averill. Sure, 'tis just a formality, but I wouldn't dare let them go after his saying he must see iviryone here. He'll be afther askin' a few questions and that will be all."
 You'd better tell them right away, Tom," said Linda quietly.
 It was all she could do to keep the exultation from her voice. This was an assist she had not expected. Until evening, anyhow and perhaps that afternoon Tom started upstairs, then stop ped as another thought struck him.
 Must they all stay on the place. Tim? It is--that official? There doesn't seem any reason that they should have to be cooped up here. After all, it's formality, as you say, and if they golf or swim or go in the boat during the after noon there should be no trouble. I'll give you my word they'll all be back at G."
 "Of course not, of course not" began Dr Parsons angrily. This isn't arrest, my boy. Even Boyle wouldn't expect to confine you all to the house all day. In fact, of all meddling, interfering, officious -officiousness-!' Conscious that he was repeating h,mself, he sput- tered off into silence.
 Tim, accustomed to regarding thea doctors authority with re- spect amounting almost to venera- tion, was glad enough to yield the | point,
 "Oh, no, sir = it's as pr Par sons says. Nothin' but to ask a | few questions, inspect the scene of the accident and close the matter. So long as those who were in the house this mornin' when 1t hap pened are here for Dr Boyle to talk to when he comes, twill be all right"
 And you said he wouldn't be back till after 6?"
 "He said he would not hurry l himsilf in the least for any-for anybody finished Tim weakly. The others, knowing the subdued, yet fierce, hatred of the old-time political gang and it's henchnien l for the opposing element of the I summer colony, recognized the caution which deieted tha niNdhcal examiners exact and lurid word- | ing.
 As Tom, started upstairs his
