"If ever one's feet touch it !" She thought the road wonderful. It was river-wide, and full of gentle undulations. Where it was smoothest, it reflected the Barn and all the surrounding lights.

Breede was at it again. He walked coolly to his desk for a note-book. Every one else in the office was showing nervousness. He was the only man who could still the troubled waters. He would play the waiting game; keep the future looking "bright and interesting." Breede could do the rest. "Buzz! Buzz-z-z-z! Buzz-z-z-z-z!" It sounded pretty vicious.
