Elizabeth, Colonel Wright's daughter. Adam Drew, acting command- ing officer. Yesterday: Charlie says he gave my old typewriter to Anne. Chapter 27 Crushed By A Stone ‘De? YOU suppose I care what you do with your second- hand typewriter?” I stormed. “But you didn’t need to keep writing to me on it. Gave you a good excuse to run in and see her, didn’t it? Did she lean over your shoulder and tell you what to say? Or did she take it down in shorthand and type it for your signature?” There may have been more of it, but it must go unreported, all but my concluding remark, which was a prelude to action. “Well, here’s your secondhand ring! See who you can get to take that off your hands!” And I flung it as hard as I could at his face. He ducked instinctive- ly and the little yellow-gold cir- clet, its one eye winking malev- olently, sailed past him. “That,” he said furiously, “is it the lowest thing I ever knew z an to do.” Something warned.me to con- "ede him the’ last word.

He’s been relieved and he tele- en on that he mighi have some information—about a car, he said.

He might not have paused there, | but the hat got away from him and rolled over in front of the open door. A little red in the face, he. retrieved it. “What balloon?” Adam asked sharply, his voice louder with sud- den excitement. “Why, sir, there was a bal- | loon——” It wasn’t the end of a sentence, or even of a phrase. The voice cut off in mid-flight, like an inter- | rupted radio Cab pea Only, in- | stead of the familiar click of the switch, there was an ominous, dull | erack: like the shell of a hickory nut crushed by a stohe. ‘A stone!

Adam cried, “Don't touch it!” and ‘was gone through the open door, calling something in a lou official voice. And presently heard heavy feet pounding nearer and quick sharp voices of men. I forced myself to kneel down and touch the outflung hand. I tried to find the pulse, and once I thought I felt it fluttering; but I couldn’t be sure, for my own veins were hammering loudly. There was blood on the back of his head where the stone had struck. I remembered the sicken- ing sound of the impact and real- ized that the skull was fractured. Even if he were still alive he would lie for days; perhaps weeks'in a coma.
