"
Beat
it
,
for
God
's
sake
,
all
of
youse
,
"
whispered
Hegglund
,
excitedly
.
"
Scatter
!
"
And
forthwith
,
seizing
Maida
Axelrod
by
the
hand
,
he
started
to
run
east
along
Thirty-fifth
Street
,
in
which
the
car
then
lay
--
along
the
outlying
eastern
suburbs
.
But
after
a
moment
,
deciding
that
that
would
not
do
either
,
that
it
would
be
too
easy
to
pursue
him
along
a
street
,
he
cut
northeast
,
directly
across
the
open
fields
and
away
from
the
city
.
912
And
now
,
Clyde
,
as
suddenly
sensing
what
capture
would
mean
--
how
all
his
fine
thoughts
of
pleasure
would
most
certainly
end
in
disgrace
and
probably
prison
,
began
running
also
.
Only
in
his
case
,
instead
of
following
Hegglund
or
any
of
the
others
,
he
turned
south
along
Cleveland
Avenue
toward
the
southern
limits
of
the
city
.
But
like
Hegglund
,
realizing
that
that
meant
an
easy
avenue
of
pursuit
for
any
one
who
chose
to
follow
,
he
too
took
to
the
open
fields
.
Only
instead
of
running
away
from
the
city
as
before
,
he
now
turned
southwest
and
ran
toward
those
streets
which
lay
to
the
south
of
Fortieth
.
Only
much
open
space
being
before
him
before
he
should
reach
them
,
and
a
clump
of
bushes
showing
in
the
near
distance
,
and
the
light
of
the
motorcycle
already
sweeping
the
road
behind
him
,
he
ran
to
that
and
for
the
moment
dropped
behind
it
.
913
Only
Sparser
and
Laura
Sipe
were
left
within
the
car
,
she
at
that
moment
beginning
to
recover
consciousness

And
the
visiting
stranger
,
much
astounded
,
was
left
standing
outside
.
915
"
Why
,
the
very
idea
!
"
he
suddenly
said
to
himself
.
"
They
must
have
stolen
that
car
.
It
could
n't
have
belonged
to
them
at
all
.
"
916
And
just
then
the
first
motorcycle
reaching
the
scene
,
Clyde
from
his
not
too
distant
hiding
place
was
able
to
overhear
.
"
Well
,
you
did
n't
get
away
with
it
after
all
,
did
you
?
You
thought
you
were
pretty
slick
,
but
you
did
n't
make
it
.
You
're
the
one
we
want
,
and
what
's
become
of
the
rest
of
the
gang
,
eh
?
Where
are
they
,
eh
?
"
917
And
hearing
the
suburbanite
declare
quite
definitely
that
he
had
nothing
to
do
with
it
,
that
the
real
occupants
of
the
car
had
but
then
run
away
and
might
yet
be
caught
if
the
police
wished
,
Clyde
,
who
was
still
within
earshot
of
what
was
being
said
,
began
crawling
upon
his
hands
and
knees
at
first
in
the
snow
south
,
south
and
west
,
always
toward
some
of
those
distant
streets
which
,
lamplit
and
faintly
glowing
,
he
saw
to
the
southwest
of
him
,
and
among
which
presently
,
if
he
were
not
captured
,
he
hoped
to
hide
--
to
lose
himself
and
so
escape
--
if
the
fates
were
only
kind
--
the
misery
and
the
punishment
and
the
unending
dissatisfaction
and
disappointment
which
now
,
most
definitely
,
it
all
represented
to
him
.

The
home
of
Samuel
Griffiths
in
Lycurgus
,
New
York
,
a
city
of
some
twenty-five
thousand
inhabitants
midway
between
Utica
and
Albany
.
Near
the
dinner
hour
and
by
degrees
the
family
assembling
for
its
customary
meal
.
On
this
occasion
the
preparations
were
of
a
more
elaborate
nature
than
usual
,
owing
to
the
fact
that
for
the
past
four
days
Mr.
Samuel
Griffiths
,
the
husband
and
father
,
had
been
absent
attending
a
conference
of
shirt
and
collar
manufacturers
in
Chicago
,
price-cutting
by
upstart
rivals
in
the
west
having
necessitated
compromise
and
adjustment
by
those
who
manufactured
in
the
east
.
He
was
but
now
returned
and
had
telephoned
earlier
in
the
afternoon
that
he
had
arrived
,
and
was
going
to
his
office
in
the
factory
where
he
would
remain
until
dinner
time
.
919
Being
long
accustomed
to
the
ways
of
a
practical
and
convinced
man
who
believed
in
himself
and
considered
his
judgment
and
his
decision
sound
--
almost
final
--
for
the
most
part
,
anyhow
,
Mrs.
Griffiths
thought
nothing
of
this
.
He
would
appear
and
greet
her
in
due
order
.
920
Knowing
that
he
preferred
leg
of
lamb
above
many
other
things
,
after
due
word
with
Mrs.
Truesdale
,
her
homely
but
useful
housekeeper
,
she
ordered
lamb
.
And
the
appropriate
vegetables
and
dessert
having
been
decided
upon
,
she
gave
herself
over
to
thoughts
of
her
eldest
daughter
Myra
,
who
,
having
graduated
from
Smith
College
several
years
before
,
was
still
unmarried
.
And
the
reason
for
this
,
as
Mrs.
