Here was the Japanese bridge where he had taken Junior walking only last Sunday. He stop- ped as if waiting for someone or something. At that moment a dark limousine came speeding past him on the driveway. Was it Molly's car? He sprang forward. Quickly as Al moved, the limou- sine was faster. It looked like a Rolls, but he couldn't be sure, And it was too dark for him to read the license plate. He stopped; there were ten thousand cars in New York that resembled Molly's. He went on, walking the streets until daylight. Then*he headed for home, threw himself on his bed, fully clothed, and fell into a sleep that was tortured by nightmares. He awoke with the sun streaming through his windows, tossed off his clothes, bathed, shaved and dressed hastily for the street. The first man to see was Marcus. Marcus was in his office. He looked up in genuine surprise when Al walked in, pale and haggard. “What's the matter, Al?” “Nothing much.

Besides, it wouldn't be the thing to do; it would mean pub- licity and ghastly scandal that would involve his baby. Al thought his rage had passed now and that he was thinking clearly. He went to the doorway and heard the maid putter- ing about in her little back room. “Celeste?” “Yes, sir.” “If you haven't gone to bed will you step here a moment?” “What time did Mrs. Stone leave?” “A little over an hour ago.” “ah, She and Junior were alone?” “Yes, sir.” So—John Perry had waited for her outside, thought Al. “She didn't say how would be gone?” “She just said she would be gone fn long time ‘und that everything was explained in the letter to you.” Al saw from the girl's expression that she had some idea of the pur- pose of Molly's hasty filght. “Celeste, I want to ask you some- thing.

Sergt. J. E. F. Wight, in charge of the detachment at Lake Harbor, reported that last winter, accompan- ied by Constable P.

No official action is contemplated, offictals of the R.C.M-P. said, in making public the report from the north. It is believed that the Eski- mo tribe was actuated by motives of self defence. Such occurrences are unknown in the territory patrol- led by Canada’s silent watchmen of the north.
