From behind a large bush at the end of Mrs. Preston’s garden, he beheld Bull Griffin himself, in converse with a young woman and a young man. And Bull was in his shirtsleeves, just like one of the family. Mr. Scala leapt to the notunnatural conclusion that Mr. Griffin was not only living here in this house, but was hand-in-glove with the inmates. / It was all he wanted to know. Backing furtively out of Mrs. Preston’s garden, he slunk along the river to his car. Climbing hastily i 4 in, he headed for New York. EUS; (Copr. 1938 by United Feature Syndicate, Ine.
