Excerpt from Under Rocking Skies Suddenly he leaned forward with quick ened interest as the door of his neighbor's house opened, and there stepped forth a short, stout man of sixty, who stood a mo ment for a last word and then hurried down the boxwood-lined path.

Medbury perceived that his face wore a look of placid satisfac tion, and with the tightening of the lines of his own to an unspoken resolution, he hurried through the house and across the yard, and, vaulting the low dividing fence, approached his neighbor's back door.
