Excerpt: ...the money under the lace of her bodice, and backed out-as a bell began to ring somewhere persistently. Clare had set down the suitcase and the cage. As Sue closed the door and turned to her, the sight of that lowered head and bent shoulders brought the tears to her eyes. "You want to get away?" she asked gently; "you want to be lost again?"

Wildly, she made as if to drive them out, pushing Sue from her; gasping and sobbing. "Wallace!-Mr. Balcome!" Backing out of Clare's reach, Sue took the two men with her. "Go!-Go!-Go!" It was hysteria, or a very fair imitation of it. Then of a sudden, while her arms were yet upraised, she looked past the three who were retreating and through the door now opening at their back.
