that he would hate to be a man in

The knife was gone. He hurried
down the front steps and lit matches
TO search behind Sarah's ferns, but
it had not rolled off the rail. Some
one had taken it. He returned and
asked John-but the old man denied
having been on the porch.
"Well," Aggie said. maybe Cal
der saw it and took it. He seems TO
have a habit Of grabbing everything
he can"
"No doubt" John said.
Aggie babe him good night, and
started up the stairs. His eyes grew
misty when he went into his room.
The objects there - banners, pic
lures, trophies, knickknacks and
books-had belonged to a twelve
year-old boy. The scientist sat down
on his bed, trying to summon that
youngster back to existence: a boy
who'd been slight, sun-tanned, shy,
knowing. An interested kid - one
who was afraid of grown people.
He still was, the man finally
thought.
He undressed and put on faded
flannelette pajamas. He turned back
the covers of the bed, slid into it,
and did not especially try to go to
sleep, which was why he found him
self waking from a deep repose at
the sound of stair-creaks. Only his
mountainous aunt could make such
noises. He had light on and was
sitting up when she knocked.
"Come in"
Her face was blotchy. She was
painting slightly. There was a dia-
mond dust of sweat on her skin.

said thickly. But, Aggie, | feel ex-

Outdoors, it was still pitch-dark.
But he could have found his way

How would you like TO have been

34-to be called "AGGIE"2 And TO

to the family country house at In
dian Stones, Aunt Sarah promoted
Beth Calder as a matrimonial pros
peet for Aggie. despite his demur-
rers. Arriving at Rainbow Lodge
about 10 pm, they were greeted by
old John, the butler. Sarah, who has
been complaining of a sore throat,
entered the lodge by side vesti-
bule. Aggie was startled to find a
hunting knife in the front door
frame, impaling a card bearing the
name: Henry H. Bogarty. He left
the knife on the porch rail and
showed the card to John who said
he hasn't seen "Mr. Hank a
rough and ready sort" in thirty
years. Bogarty had wired Sarah
that day: Arriving shortly for new
grubstake. Love-" John announced
Mr.. Calder who strobe in asking,
"Oh-Sarah-you had a wire from

self having lost most of his life
savings. "A ghoul at a feast" Ag.
gle remarked.
CHAPTER SIX
At that point, the subject of their
talk came out of the bedroom. He
slammed the door without refer
ence to Sarah's condition and
stalked through the living room. Al
the front door he turned and said
you're doctor. Tell me something
better than tramping the woods at
night for insomnia"
Aggie looked at him. "a clear
conscience"
Calder did an effective piece Of
work with his second slam; the
house shook. Aggie caught sight Of
Johns wistful grin at the insult. He
went back to Sarah's room.
His aunt was manifestly upset
Her color was poor and she kept fid-
ding with the ice bag on her neck.
"Some human beings" she said,
sought to have been born inside the
fur of jackals."
Aggie nodded. "Look. What's
this all about"
Nothing. Nothing important,
Things that happened long ago,
Some day Jim Calder's past is GO
ing to catch up with him. Right
now-he's worried. He wanted my
moral backing for a little inhospi-
tally, that's all. You go to bed,
Aggie. It's late. You need sleep
and so do 1. Whatever I've got, it
feels like triple-grippe plus hang
over, and a small case of crud, be-
sides"
There was no use in trying to CO.
cree or trap Sarah. He made an at
tempt-and gave up. After he had
said good night to her and before
he started up to his room, he felt
Bogarty's card in his pocket. That
reminded him of the knife he had
left on the veranda rail, and, since
there was no chance that Sarah
would see him bring it in, he went
out to get it.
