They rode into town in the sta

off at the drug store. Inside, the
three boys separated in pursuit of
their respective wants.
Wandering around, Rod secretly
made his way 10 the newsstand

slowly galvanized. Mr.. S W.
bridges solemnity of the past "a
hours, the unhappy look in his
wife's eyes, the strange behavior
of the servants, the mysterious
absence of the morning newspa-
pers, all were suddenly explained.
For a long time he stood very
still pretending TO examine the
magazine on display, not wanting
Warren or Richard to know what
he had seen.
Finally he moved away. striving
with might and main not TO show
his feelings. He tried TO enthuse
over a football game Warren had
brought, and accepted a piece of
chocolate from Richard. But he
knew he couldn't swallow il and
quietly dropped il on the floor.
