Oh
,
well
,
they
wo
n't
have
to
know
that
,
will
they
?
"
said
Myra
.
"
Oh
,
wo
n't
they
?
Well
,
what
's
to
prevent
him
from
speaking
about
it
--
unless
we
tell
him
not
to
--
or
some
one
coming
along
who
has
seen
him
there
.
"
His
eyes
snapped
viciously
.
"
At
any
rate
,
I
hope
he
does
n't
.
It
certainly
would
n't
do
us
any
good
around
here
.
"
And
Bella
added
,
"
I
hope
he
's
not
dull
as
Uncle
Allen
's
two
boys
.
They
're
the
most
uninteresting
boys
I
ever
did
see
.
"
"
Bella
,

cautioned
her
mother
once
more
.
The
Clyde
whom
Samuel
Griffiths
described
as
having
met
at
the
Union
League
Club
in
Chicago
,
was
a
somewhat
modified
version
of
the
one
who
had
fled
from
Kansas
City
three
years
before
.
He
was
now
twenty
,
a
little
taller
and
more
firmly
but
scarcely
any
more
robustly
built
,
and
considerably
more
experienced
,
of
course
.
For
since
leaving
his
home
and
work
in
Kansas
City
and
coming
in
contact
with
some
rough
usage
in
the
world
--
humble
tasks
,
wretched
rooms
,
no
intimates
to
speak
of
,
plus
the
compulsion
to
make
his
own
way
as
best
he
might
--
he
had
developed
a
kind
of
self-reliance
and
smoothness
of
address
such
as
one
would
scarcely
have
credited
him
with
three
years
before
.
There
was
about
him
now
,
although
he
was
not
nearly
so
smartly
dressed
as
when
he
left
Kansas
City
,
a
kind
of
conscious
gentility
of
manner
which
pleased
,
even
though
it
did
not
at
first
arrest
attention
.
Also
,
and
this
was
considerably
different
from
the
Clyde
who
had
crept
away
from
Kansas
City
in
a
box
car
,
he
had
much
more
of
an
air
of
caution
and
reserve
.
For
ever
since
he
had
fled
from
Kansas
City
,
and
by
one
humble
device
and
another
forced
to
make
his
way
,
he
had
been
coming
to
the
conclusion
that
on
himself
alone
depended
his
future
.
His
family
,
as
he
now
definitely
sensed
,
could
do
nothing
for
him
.
They
were
too
impractical
and
too
poor
--
his
mother
,
father
,
Esta
,
all
of
them
.
At
the
same
time
,
in
spite
of
all
their
difficulties
,
he
could
not
now
help
but
feel
drawn
to
them
,
his
mother
in
particular
,
and
the
old
home
life
that
had
surrounded
him
as
a
boy
--
his
brother
and
sisters
,
Esta
included
,
since
she
,
too
,
as
he
now
saw
it
,
had
been
brought
no
lower
than
he
by
circumstances
over
which
she
probably
had
no
more
control
.
And
often
,
his
thoughts
and
mood
had
gone
back
with
a
definite
and
disconcerting
pang
because
of
the
way
in
which
he
had
treated
his
mother
as
well
as
the
way
in
which
his
career
in
Kansas
City
had
been
suddenly
interrupted
--
his
loss
of
Hortense
Briggs
--
a
severe
blow
;
the
troubles
that
had
come
to
him
since
;
the
trouble
that
must
have
come
to
his
mother
and
Esta
because
of
him
.
On
reaching
St.
Louis
two
days
later
after
his
flight
,
and
after
having
been
most
painfully
bundled
out
into
the
snow
a
hundred
miles
from
Kansas
City
in
the
gray
of
a
winter
morning
,
and
at
the
same
time
relieved
of
his
watch
and
overcoat
by
two
brakemen
who
had
found
him
hiding
in
the
car
,
he
had
picked
up
a
Kansas
City
paper
--
The
Star
--
only
to
realize
that
his
worst
fear
in
regard
to
all
that
had
occurred
had
come
true
.
For
there
,
under
a
two-column
head
,
and
with
fully
a
column
and
a
half
of
reading
matter
below
,
was
the
full
story
of
all
that
had
happened
:
a
little
girl
,
the
eleven-year-old
daughter
of
a
well-to-do
Kansas
City
family
,
knocked
down
and
almost
instantly
killed
--
she
had
died
an
hour
later
;
Sparser
and
Miss
Sipe
in
a
hospital
and
under
arrest
at
the
same
time
,
guarded
by
a
policeman
sitting
in
the
hospital
awaiting
their
recovery
;
a
splendid
car
very
seriously
damaged
;
Sparser
's
father
,
in
the
absence
of
the
owner
of
the
car
for
whom
he
worked
,
at
once
incensed
and
made
terribly
unhappy
by
the
folly
and
seeming
criminality
and
recklessness
of
his
son
.
But
what
was
worse
,
the
unfortunate
Sparser
had
already
been
charged
with
larceny
and
homicide
,
and
wishing
,
no
doubt
,
to
minimize
his
own
share
in
this
grave
catastrophe
,
had
not
only
revealed
the
names
of
all
who
were
with
him
in
the
car
--
the
youths
in
particular
and
their
hotel
address
--
but
had
charged
that
they
along
with
him
were
equally
guilty
,
since
they
had
urged
him
to
make
speed
at
the
time
and
against
his
will
--
a
claim
which
was
true
enough
,
as
Clyde
knew
.
And
Mr.
Squires
,
on
being
interviewed
at
the
hotel
,
had
furnished
the
police
and
the
newspapers
with
the
names
of
their
parents
and
their
home
addresses
.
