which was drawing closer. -.

servant, became an unbending tyrant
when her beloved mistress sneezed.
They were to 60, home! It was sui

Did she want to catch her death Of

warm shawls and aconite-in case there
was a trace Of fever. And she'd rub
her chest with camphorated oil.
Driven by her anxiety, Martha be-

l Judy was wakened from
sleep by strange noise-a
throbbing deeper, more stirring than
the pounding of the surf. Memory
rushed upon her. Nick had driven to
the airport OF the little town south Of
them; he had got the plane and was
flying up the coast.
She snatched up her blue quilted
robe, thrust her feet into mules and
rushed to the window. Needless Of the
cold dawn air, she flung up the sash
and leaned out.
The sun was just above the horizon;
the sky was a soft blur Of primrose
colors. And up there, moving like a
moth against the great sweep OF the
zenith. Nick's plane . tiny

Nick up there so confident, SO Sc

be Nick Garter, STAINS half-brother. in
her mind He was Just Nick who
dropped from the sky like a man-god
and as casually flew away again.
Long moments Judy crouched there
by the open window, her eyes glued on
the plane overhead. The cold morning
wind bloWinc off the ocean lifted the
mass of hair from her shoulders, so
that her up-tilted face was in relief, del
icate and white as cameo. 1t had
pierced the warmth of the quilted SILK
robe. her bare feet were two Jumps OF
ice in the satin mules when she finally
recalled herself and shut the window.
BY the middle of the afternoon the
fair weather had ended. Great, swollen,
plum -colored clouds lay heaped on the
horizon and the sea had taken on a
somber tinge. The sun sank in sullen
red, and as though sunset had been
the signal awaited, the storms fury

from the same glass.
