His patient (lid not need him, but K. was anxious to find Joe; so lie telephoned the gas office and got a day off. For the present, at least, K.'s re vealed identity was safe. IlospitaIs keep their secrets well. And it is doubtful if the Street would have been greatly concerned even had it known. It had never heard of Id it wardes, of the 1Edwardes clinic, or the t. 1dwardes operation. Its medical knowledge comprised the two Wilsons and the osteopath around the corner. j. When, as would haippen n0011, it learned of Mat Wilson's injury, it would be g more concerned with his chances of . recovery than with the manner of it. That was as it should be. But Joe's affair with Sidney had been the talk of the neighborhood. If the boy disappeared, a scandal would be inevitable. Twenty people had ;ten him at Schwitter's and would know him11 again. To stve Joe, then, was K.'s first en re. At first it seemed as if the boy had frustrated hin. le had not been home all night. Christine, waylaying K. In the little hall, told hint that. "M.rs.

Something went wrong with his car, perhaps, after he left lie bathed and shaved hurriedly. t Katie brought his coffee to his roon, land lie drank it standing. As lie went down the Street, lie saw Mrs. Me Kee in her doorway, with a little knot of people around her. The Street was getting the night's news. iHe rented a car at a local garage, and drove lilmuself out into the coun try. lie was not minded to have any .eyes on him that day. Hie wvent to e Schwitter's first. Schwitter himself . was not in sight. Bill, the bartender. y was scrubbing the porch, and a farm 1 and was gathering bottles from the grass into a box.

As a matter of fact, I Sfollowed him here; but I was too late. Did lie take the revolver away with him?" "I took it from him. It's under the bar." "Get it for mae."

"Now," lhe said quietly, "where is hie?", "Ini my room--top of the house." K. followed Bill up the stairs down which lie had car'riedl Wilson's uncon scious figui'e. Th'e i'oorn under the Ieaves was stilling. An unmade bed stood in a corner. Joe was sitting in the corner furthest friom the windtow, Wh'len the (door1 swtung open, be looked upi. lie showved no interest on seeing K., wiho had to stool) to enter the low - "I thought you were the police.

I got here 'not two minutes after you left. The girl wais still there. It was somleonle else. Sid ney was not out of the hospital last night. She attended at lecture, and then an operation." Joe listened. It was undoubtedly a relief to him to know that it had not been Sidney ; but if K. expected any remorse, he did not get it. "If lie is that sort, lie deserves what lie got," said the boy grimly. And K. had no rep. '. But Joe was ghad to talk. K. got IL by degrees-his mad flight into the darkness, until his gasoline gave out; his resolve to walk back and surrender himself at Schwit ter's, so that there could be no nis. take as to who had committed the cr hie. "I intended to write a confession and then shoot myself," lie told K. "But jA~I I'' "I Thought You Were the Police." the barkeeper got my gun out of my pocket.

The tning we've got to do Is to hush this thing up, anld get you away." "I'd go to Cuba, but I haven't the 1110ey." K. rose. "I think I can get it." Ile turned in the doorway.
