Nothing could be seen. Talking to herself, muttering frantically, Sheila turned back into the room and extinguished the light. This done, looking down, she could see the dim, white expanse of the root below and see, against the grayish-whit- e, something black pros- trate. Oh, my God, hes killed himself! " Sheila whispered. Oh, God, help him!' And leaning out, aha could, climbed over it with almost the swiftness of a leap, and waa dangling out in the snow. Oh, God, forgive me my sins! sobbed Sheila, and dropped. A shocking instant of descent rushed by her; she landed on something soft, sprawled helpless on the snow. Get oil me! shouted Peter. My God, you've killed me! Sheila, snowy, breathless, panting, gathered herself together, rolled over, scrambled to her knees, to her feet She bent over him. Oh, I've hurt you! And I'm not hurt at all! You broke my fall! "Ill tell the world X broke your fall! Peter agreed, groaning and You knocked the wind twisting. out of me! Oh, my leg la it broken?" She waa pulling, lifting, trying to make him sit up.

The room appeared to be Quite empty. "Look for a telephone, quick! Peter directed, stuffing his cap and his gloves into a coat pocket and flinging the coat itself over a chair. 'Til be home before I could telephone Mama; we have to call the corner drug store," Sheila had begun to say, when the lock of the studio door clicked and they both whirled about guiltily to face whoever waa about to enter. Two men backed In, crouching, watching the hallways rather than looking into the room; a tail man end a small man, both young. As Sheila began somewhat timidly: We had to come in through your place" they both sprang about, and she heard a quick whispered oath. Then the four were facing one another, Sheila and Peter aghast and terrified, and the two others hardly leu taken aback. Shut up!" the smaller man whispered fiercely. Listen!" Peter persisted, in a voice that was not loud, but that was not afraid. He fell silent, staring with fascinated eyes in a whitening face. The shorter man had shown a shining, Sheila caught at sleek revolver. her breath childishly; there was no other sound. the tall man Come here! breathed, inaudibly. They sensed rather than heard his words; they followed him across the studio; and ha opened a door that gave upon a small storeroom or closet. Give me the rod. Inky," he said, taking the pistol. Instantly he closed himself into the closet with Sheila and Peter. "Don't either of They'll get you speak, he said. me if you do, but Til get you first SBJg Y. a cigar on his There waa a long pause, during which they all clung close together, motionless. Then Sheila heard voices in the stadia There was talk of greeting and of the weather, and mention of cigarettes. What's that yure pa intin' now?1 a big warm Irish voice said. She misled the answer; aha heard a chair creak, a murmur of talk. Then a voice that was not the Irish voice said, "1 do not know. And if I do know I not tell on my friend, Mr. Garrity. "You've got some queer friendii Garrity laid. Thera was more conversation in lower tones, more craping of chairs. Then the caller departed; the door evidently ' lammed. After that another fierce warning held Peter and Sheila, and the man who was huddled close into their helter with them, more silent than ever. Ages passed; every muscle in Sheila's body waa lame. She, and the bolder of the pistol, and Peter, continued to rest against one anothers bodies, to breathe one soother's breaths. They could hear the man in the studio whistling, smell hia second cigarette. After a while he apparently crossed the floor.

But you'll be home pretty soon, he sdded comfortably. Come on, let's get going, Ken said. He glanced at Peter and Sheila, standing bewildered and fearful together.
