And even as she wondered at such wanton use of electricity, the front door was thrown wide and Cal Sheridan eala pulted down the stairway. "Leta." he cried, "oh. thank heavens. Where have you been?" "Klal tire." sprang to Arleta's lips "But don't you think I've in telligence enough lo find my way home?" "Ordinarily ." conceded Sheridan gloomily. "Ordinarily." flared Arleta. and quickly.
