at FOrty-sixth Street; he rode
with us. ~
He went to the trunk and eased
the top down and dragged it over

He lifted the top and felt inside;
it was half empty.
Then he was still, barely BREATH

Mr.. Dalton said that they did not

Hadn't Mary said that she was 60

not think that she had already

He could, he could put her in the
trunk She was small. Yes; put her

said that she would be gone for
three days. For three days, then,

running around with Reds, wasn't
she? Anything could happen to her
People would think that she was
up to some of her crazy ways when
they missed her. Yes, Reds'd do
anything. Didn't the papers say so?
He went to the bed; he would
have to lift her into the trunk. He
did not want to touch her, but he
knew he had TO. He bent over His
hands were outstretched, trembling
in mid-air. He had to touch her
and lift her and put her in the
trunk. He tried to move his hands
and could not. Tt was as though he

touched her. 1t all seemed foolish!
He wanted to laugh. Tt was unreal

something like this for a long time,
and then, suddenly, it was true. He
heard the clock ticking. Time was
passing. 1t would soon be morning.
He had to act. He could not stand
here all night like this; he might
go to the electric chair. He shud-

over his skin.
He pushed his hand gently
under her body and lifted it. He
stood with her i'm his arms; she
was limp. He took her to the
trunk and invOluntarily jerked
his head round and saw a white

| his body was instantly wrapped
in a sheet of blazing terror and
! hard ache seized his head and
then the white blur went away.
He thought that was her -. His
heart pounded.
He stood with her body in his
arms in the silent room and cold
| facts battered him like waves sweep
ing in from the sea; She was dead;
she was white; she was woman:
he had killed her; he was black;
he might be caught; he did not
want to be caught; if he were they
would kill him.
He stopped to put her in the
trunk. Could he get her in? He
looked again towards the door, ex-

nothing was there.
