Mr.. Baker returned to his rock

Queer outfit, that model railroad

Henry shook his head. Il don't

Playing with trains probably

"Of course, In Susan's case, I can

She's making miniature people for

lovely. I'll show you some exam

while before we 60 home"
That's just an excuse to stay
and play with those model trains, "
his father told him sharply, push
ing his own umbrella against the
storm and starting down the drive
way toward the road. Richard,
grumbling, followed.
Large trees lined the way.
Henry knew that the mysterious
man who fed from the lodge could
easily hide behind one of the tree
trunks in the semi-darkness IL he
wanted revenge for the scare they
had given him. The little clerk
stayed in the middle Of the road.
He imagined sinister movements
on either side. The wind whistling
through the leaves and rubbing
branches together sounded at times
like voices or like the stealthy
movement Of body through the
underbrush.
Half way home they emerged
from the trees. The open fields were
reassuringly empty. Lighted win
dows Of the Baker farmhouse were
reminders Of friends.
You run on home and get TO
bed" Henry told his son. I'm 60
