The objection may be raised that this plan would not succeed If West arginally held six instead

As Philip latened to it. something began to happen in his brain. It was all hot und scorched. It seemed to be burning up, killing him. And. then the fire went down into his body and almost stopped, his heart. It felt like dying.
Suddenly he could stand it no longer. He sprang to the telephone and called police. A few minutes later Ward came bursting in.

The door opened and Stella rushed in. She had heard of the trouble at home from Eric, the chauffeur. "They're coming," she said in a stilled voice. "They're coming in the front door."
Philip's eyes were bulging out of his head. "But the police must stop them. Where are the police?"
"Here."
Ward shouted, "for heaven's sake, get down the back stairs, There's no telling what they'll do in this temper."
'Now Philip's face shone with hatred."I understand. That's what you want, both of you. To see me run away. Well, I'm going to disappoint you." He looked at Ward malignantly. "You can't al- ways be in the limelight, yot! know." He wasn't afraid, he told himself. He'd handle that mob all right.

He faced them. "Wh-what. are you doing here?" he asked weakly. "Go home."!

His eyes were glazed. He. brought his words out with difficulty. "No need to be frightened. Nobody can hurt me just run away and hide." Suddenly he swayed and fell to the floor in a dead faint.

Philip was very still. What would his wife and Ward do? What would they say?
"He's brealiing so heavily," Stella whispered.
"Please," Ward pleaded, "you're worn out. You've got to get some sleep.
