Is life to be allowed no natural expansion? Have you forgotten that, in refusing the new bond for the old bond's sake, the child may be simply wronging the parents, depriving them of another affection, another support, which ought to have been theirs? His tone was harsh, almost violent. It seemed to him that she grew suddenly white, and he grasped her more firmly still.

Negligently, Merely returned the salute, then picked up Bond's report. "I have gone through this, Bond," he announced. "Very interesting. And you thought it too unimportant to report on before?" "I didn't want to bother you with some idle fantasy, sir. Until the man's experiments showed definite results of some sort, I " "And then, you hoped to spring a completed device on me?

Very like he watched the whole thing and was hid at my elbow somewhere when I found Bond; and then, after I'd gone, he got Bond's revolver and took it away so as I should be catched in a lie and prove the only one that was armed. And more than that: he may have lent Bond the revolver himself."

Billy and his mother exchanged doubtful glances; for the past three hours everything had been so strange and unusual that they were bewildered. "You see, we will go right over to Bond's and have something to eat before you go home," urged Redding. Mrs.
