It is provided that IN the event the
application for extension is made by

by property owners of the areas
sought to be annexed, then no cleo

approval of at least 20 per cent of the

fear had been of Clark Martin. To
be assured by him, to know there
was nothing to conceal from him
any longer, was load lifted from
her shoulders. With Jim definitely
on the way to getting well, she no
longer felt so alone, so weighted
down with responsibility. 1t would
be easier now.
She slept on, until late after
noon. The sun was already peering
obliquely through the scrolled lace
Of the curtains on the west window
when she started up, a vaguely
guilty feeling warning her of some
thing she should be doing. For q.
moment the strangeness of Mrs.
Morriss' gracious bedroom beWil-
dered her. Then she came to full
consciousness and sprang out OF
bed.
AS she dressed, all her fears came
flooding back. She remembered her
appeal to Clark Martin, and his re-
assuring reply. He was friend, he
had said. She had believed him,
then, the stupor Of her tiredness
dulling her brain. But now
somehow, it didn't ring true! Could
she trust him? Had she trusted
him too far already?
She was half afraid to answer
when Dinah's inquiring tap came
at the door just as she had fin
ished dressing. She stood still in
the middle of the room, her eyes
searching the girls face as Dinah
wheeled through the door. But it
was a smiling face, family amused
at the lateness Of the hour, a little
Gliding.
"Nobody called, them" Iona
asked, her relief finding voice.
There's been no word from the
hospital?"
Everything Is fine. I called in
just an hour ago. Jim was just
waking up. He's better. There's
nothing to worry about" Dinah's
voice was soothing, and she re-.
Taxed.
you're sure nobody else
called?" she insisted, half afraid
to feel safe. Would the police call
here, she was wondering. Or would
they just put guard at the hos
pital? Maybe they'd even break in
on Jim. Put him under arrest there
in bed, while he was helpless, with
nobody to protect him.
She gulped down Dinah's tasty
supper hastily, afraid the girl was
being hurt by her impotence, but
unable to conceal it.
"I promised him I'd be there
when he woke up," she told Dinah,
apologetically. IT didn't intend to
sleep so long. He may be wanting
me-"
She was glad when she was out
Of the house and could hurry as
much as she pleased. She felt
driven, somehow. Why, she couldn't
explain.
Her fears crystallized as she
came up. to the hospital and saw,
parked complacently, one Of the.
green cars bearing the gold-lettered
B. P. D., which signified> the
Brighton Police Department. Dis
mayed, she hurried her steps and,
going past the clerk without in
quiry, she sped down the corridor
to Jim's room, her heart humping
hard.

crisis. the doctor strobe across the
floor, his professional anger
aroused.
what are you doing here, and
how did you get in?" he shot at
the engineer, and Martin smiled
alphabetically.
"I heard Jim was-bad," he said,
"and 1 came right over. nobody
seemed to pay any attention to me,
so I sort of-walked in"
"How long have you been here?"
The doctor still was annoyed.
II knocked on the door a while
back. It was cracked open and I
I've just been standing here.
There's no harm done. I thought
maybe Mrs. Bennett here" He
hesitated over the name, and
Lona's fears became certainty.
He knew! He had heard every
thing. ct thought perhaps the lady
might need me-if there's anything
I can do" He bowed to Iona, and
the doctors eyes softened.
"Pm sorry if I was rude" he
said. "But I'd left strict orders
about being disturbed. This is a
hospital, you know. We can't have
people walking in and out, disturb
ing our patients. I'll see that 1t
doesn't happen again" His grim
tone BODIED no good for some luck
less attendant. "You didn't happen
to come in car, I suppose?" he
asked Of Martin, with glance at
Lona's dropping shoulders.
"Why, yes did,"
"You can drive Mrs. Bennett
home If you really want to be of
some help. She must get some rest.
You're going home and go to bed"
This last in answer to Lona's quick
protest. run along with you. Not
another word"
"But II can't" she hesitated.
She wanted to say she couldn't be
alone with Clark Martin. Not even
the time it would take to drive
from the hospital to the Morriss
home. She couldn't face that
now.
But even the strength to protest
seemed to have left her. She found
herself meekly following Martin,
allowing him to guide her, a hand
beneath her elbow, out through the
now busy corridor, into the bright
ness of the morning sunshine.
Neither spoke while he turned
the car in the hospital drive, and
headed down toward Main street.
Her head was awhirl and she was
wondering, desperately, just how
much he really knew. He was
watching her from the corner of
his shrewd eyes, she realized, and
at last she turned to him, unable
to bear the suspense any longer.
"You-heard?" she asked, SIM
ply.
He nodded, his eyes on the road.

letter. I'd heard the whole story
before, and I recognized the name. !"
He said no more, just stared
ahead as if the matter were closed.
Breathlessly, Iona waited.
"What are you going to do?"
she brought out, finally, her voice

uuivering in spite Of her efforts to
keep it calm. "You can't tell on
him." she burst out, as he turned
to her slowly. "You can't! You've
got to keep quiet and forget the
whole thing. He's innocent, you see.
He told the whole thing over and
over when he was out Of his head.
Somebody tempered with the net
and he found it out-too late. You
heard him back there. You heard
what he said. You can't-surely
YOU can't" She was pleading, her

realized that he had made no at

I'd like to talk it over with him

Before we leave?" Iona inter-
rupted him, her voice sharp. "You
mean-then you're not going to"
my dear girl! Jim's a friend of
mine. He worked for me. He saved
the life Of one of my men. Surely
you don't think I'd try to get him
in trouble" His voice was re-
proachful. IT'D like his advice on
this net Of mine. Outside Of that
I've no interest in your personal
affairs. Except to say, If I may,
that Jim has very brave and gal
liant little wife," He smiled, and
Iona choked suddenly.

replied, allowing the tears she had
kept back to spring to her eyes.

how terrible it's been, knowing
about-all this, and trying to keep

He nodded sympathetically. 'It's
tough" he agreed. "And if there's
anything a friend can do. I'm
here"
ooh, thank you again." Iona
told him, wanting nothing so much
as to get off by herself where she
could stop thinking and just rest
