"You need not go into that"
Stephen said. He had seen
Hester in Mortified silence at
the door.
"They used our oil to do it,"
The griffin flung the words
after Stephen as he moved
away, intent on protecting
Hester from the details OF the
story.
When Stephen was in his
own living room and had shut
the door, his voice shook.

Burnham. "You take too many

Sible for the money"
Sacked cities had become a
common sight of late years. The
shattered shops, no light show
ing between the chinks, occa.
sional skulking figures, were all
familiar to Stephen. In fact, as
he went through the city to the
agents shop, he felt there were
no details of looting that could
any longer shock him.
After many whiSperings at the
back door of the agents place,
the door was opened a crack.
In the dim light of a lantern,
he saw middle-aged woman.
With dignity she spoke.
1T is useless for you to come.
Although for two centuries the
business of this family has
been conducted with honor, it
is over now. Only my husband
is left"
Was she protecting some hid
den money? Stephen could not
believe, even yet, that there
would not be recuperation. He
remembered cock-eyed Ting and
his spirited bargaining after
the looting in his territory. IT
must see the agent himself" he
urged.
Come" said the woman
Without another word, she led
the way to the inner courts.
AS they went, Stephen heard a
babble of strange excited talk
that curdled his blood. The
woman lifted her lantern. In
it's light Stephen saw haunted
eyes, a covering, footleSS form,
chained to the floor. It was
the agent, a babbling mailman,
straining at his chains. Then
Stephen was ashamed that he
had doubted, and he pressed no
further his claim that they pay
for the consigned Oil.

Stumbo slipped out and walked away.
He felt the wild urge to run, run,

walks arouses less suspicion. So ne
moved briskly down the street, feellng
more secure with each step.
"Halt!" a voice thundered. A copl
Stun1bo ran. He flew down the
street. The policeman ran heavily
behind him, his whistle screaming
shrilly. In spite of his danger, Stumbo
grinned. The flatfoot was no Sprinter.
If it were a matter OF speed, ne
could thumb his nose at the cop
and be safely away. But cops would
overrun the neighborhood and police
cars would cruise through it, and any
one on the streets would be stopped
and questioned-and searched.
He must find cover. Stumbo dashed
around the first corner into crowded
street of mean little houses. The
neighborhood was unknown to him.
He cursed the impulse that had
brought him there.
There was crepe at the door OF the
second house.

Stumbo thought. He was sure that
he would be safe there, yet he hesi-

covered in the hall. He hoped des-

any further.
Apparently the family was in bed.
In the tomblike silence Stumbos
heart sounded like thunder in his
ears.
Candles made wavering light in
a corner of the living room, and the
smell of burning wax mingled with
the heavy perfume of many flowers.
Stumbo felt sick. He stole to the
doorway. The policeman was stand
ing near the house playing his flash
light among the shadowy places.
Stumbo shivered. If only it wouldn't
be q fourth conviction!
He'd rather do time than spend the
night with a stiff. But he couldn't

"She knows" the policeman said
