Dawes and Sally had passed him on
the road. There was O. chance in a
thousand that the cyclist in distress
was the missing man in the McDon-
aid case. But no chance was too
slight to investigate.
Without telling her father what
she was about. Sally went to the
telephone and called Philip. He did
not scoff at her story. nor did he
seem excited by it.
an go over to Hillcrest and see
what | can find out tonight" he said
briefly. ''I1l LET you know if anything
comes of the trip"
Sally sat by the telephone for
few minutes after Philip had hung
up. He had beer so curt. so brief.
He had not suggested that Sally go
with him to Hillcrest to help identify
the man.
For a long time Sally sat on the
side porch. waiting to hear any news
that Philip might have when he came
back from Hillcrest. Some of her
brother Rays friends came in and she
played bridge with them until all
most midnight.
When they had gone. she sauntered
down the gardcn path and looked over
toward the Page house. 1t was dark
no. there was a single light burning
in an upstairs room. She could see
the CLEAN through the thick branches
of the old mimoSa tree that grew
on that side of the house. Philip had
retUgnhd dhpfp Hiller4st, but he had
not remembered to telephone her the
news. Sally. went to bed feeling lonely
and desolate.
The next morning Philip was abb
sent from the Office until noon. but
worked furiously all afternoon. He
was still there when Sally left the
Office, but he had said nothing about
the Mcdonald case. 1t was from her
father that Sally learned the result
of the Hillcrest trip. Philip had been
able to discover that man on mo-
torcycle had visited Giles Benton and
talked to him. But what had become
of the cyclist was a different matter.

breathed heavily and seemed not
to mind being pushed around. So
close to Nature that life Is strong

non-existent, these oldest MEM

But why should a man who had a
grudge against Mr.. Morris want to
sacrifice the innocent people who
were simply going to the theater?"
demanded Sally.
Sometimes in anger people 90 to
great lengths" said her father. aThe
rage they feel against one person
may grow into hatred Of everyone
more fortunate than themselves"
That doesn't sound like McDon-
aid" defended Sally stoutly. what
about the man who Iured Mcdonald
to the theater?"
Sounds like a cock and bull
story" said Mr.. Warren. "There
seems to be no such man as McDon-
old describes"
But If there were" Sally insisted.
IF he could be found. :"
IF ne could be found, Mcdonald
probably would be acquitted" said
Mr.. Warren. "But the man didn't
work at the filling station where
Mcdonald says he was employed.
About the only clue we had to work
on, Philip and |. was the fact that
this man came to McDonald's house
on motorcycle. Apparently it wasn't
his own machine. for we've checked
on every one in town"
