Here they -could pot see her. Not
without coming out. Here she
would have something to cling
to if her unstable knees gave way.
And here she could listen better.
The dark interior a foot beyond was
like the yawning mouth of a great

certainly alive.
False Move
BY AGEE HAYE
And like a great malicious beast,
its jowls betrayed her. For as she
leaned weakly upon the dour which
she had supposed to be tight against
the garage, it moved back inches,
perhaps almost a foot, and thudded
against the wail behind it.

and listened—weak with horror, diz

Abruptly from within all activity
ceased, Nat a sound anywhere broke
the silence of the night. Merry was
aware of the slumbering neighbor
hood about her. The Mayhews sleep
ing upstairs just across the driveway
and behind her the silent house of
the Lewises. Then her own house,
so near and yet so inaccessible! Mo

All of this thinking had taken
only a flash. It had darted through
her brain like an arrow shot from a

reached their mark within, too.
There were a few

rified already. But her mouth drop

.For amazingly, it was given by a
girl!
Merry’s hands lifted, and the
circle of light found her. Beyond it,
she could see the face of the girl.
But for a moment action was frozen
as if in. the projection room of Fate
the revolutions of the machine had
been stopped. And there, in sus
pended action, was a dimly starlit
night, a distant flickering street
lamp and in the backyard of a neat,
quiet English cottage two- girls fac
ing each other.
|A circle of light showing one girl
of fragile ethereal beauty, clad in an
apple green formal, whose long
graceful sweep hid ridicculously
small stockinged feet. 'This girl’s arm
wavered. Her large eyes widened in
futile attempt to pierce the darkness
beyond the light w-hich revealed her.
Only a vague outline of another girl.

surrounding houses. Block upon

caught her breath sharply.
“You’re not—Merry?” she
in a tense, cool voice.
Aware of grave danger in

nodded. She heard her own answer
far away—huskily whispered 'yes’.
She felt herself tottering. She was

The light had dropped. “Don’t,

It was the first glimpse

been only a quiet voice—first men

slender and brown-eyed, clad in a
neat dark, blood-spattered suit, she
was much too interested in John’s
condition to consider trivialities of
introduction. They all were.
Helen Millington, asking a few
brief questions, busied 'herself quiet
ly with making John comfortable,
doing little efficient things which
she knew could be done before the
doctor arrived.
Merry watched her with a rush of
pride and appreciation. Mother was
thoroughly awake new and serene
and collected.
“It is as if shooting like this was
as common as mealtime.” Merry
marvelled to herself. And there did
seem little difference between the
composure and deftness of Helen

The girls stood in the doorway

upon John, saw John's eyes meet
