CALLY followed Giles up the stairs
u meekly enough. The promise of a
key and the opportunity TO put a
locked door between herself and Sam
while Giles Benton was away gave
Sally courage.
The upper half Of the lodge formed
Q sort Of gallery from which three
doors opened. The middle one showed
Light beneath it and this one Giles
Benton threw open.
Il must 60 now he said hurriedly.
There's the car"
He grasped SaIly's arm, quickly
thrust her inside the room, closed the
dopr behind her and locked it from
the outside.
Give me the keyI" cried Sally.
She pounded against the closed door.
you promised to give me the keyl"
But Giles Benton had gone. When
she could no longer hear his footsteps,
Sally ceased calling or banging on the
door. She did not want Sam to come.
Yearly she turned and surveyed
TIE room. 1t was musty, and little
cir came through a single broken
windoW-pane. The furniture was
afrcuded. but comfortable enough.
Sally stretched out on the bed YEARLY
and stared at the circle of lamplight
On the ceiling.
she felt faint. and remembered that
she had eaten scarcely any lunch and
No dinner at all. The thought of eat
ing the food that Sam had stacked
against the wall downstairs was re-
yelling. Yet. if she were to get away
from the house and walk the woods
road till she found the highway. Sally
knew she would have to eat. She went
70 the door and called, but she got no
ansWer. The car had come and gone.
Could they have taken Sam away and
left her in the house alone?
sally took of her slipper, went to
the window and began deliberately to
brrsk out the panes. When she had
smashed three, and the cool night air
blew against her face, she heard a
shout from below and the barking of
. dog.
Hey. stop that" yelled Sam.
sally leaned out of the window and
called down to him. I'm hungry.
Wn you please ger me something to
eaig-
Sure" said Sam. He stood there
q moment Il haven't got the key
~ your rooul About all / can do is
pitch few things in the window"
When Sam had gone back around
the house. Sally sat in chair by the
window, drinking in the cool night
air gratefully. Beyond the house
whippOorwill called. 1t was a lonely
sound, and Sally shivered.
Dir. Morris Has A Stroke
WHILE Sally was imprisoned in
W the hunting lodge some 40 miles
frum home. a combination OF circum-
Stances back in WaTrenton delayed
TIE search for her.
A messenger boy had delivered
6ally's note TO Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
about 70 o'clock in the evening. The
message. which Sally had written
under compulsion. surprised her par
entz but did not alarm them.

He probably knows something about

But Philip Page was not to be found
