"Good-bye, Miss Lennox," she said wistfully. "You'll come back to see
us some time again, won't you?"

"Perhaps," smiled Ethel, "and if not, Agnes, you must come and see me.

About a week later Young Si suddenly vanished, and his disappearance
was a nine-day's talk along shore. His departure was as mysterious as
his advent. It leaked out that he had quietly disposed of his boat and

from the Pointers' lives, never more to re-enter them.

Little Ev was the last of the Pointers to see him tramping along the
road to the station in the dusk of the autumn twilight. And the next
morning Agnes Bentley, going out of doors before the others, found on
the doorstep a basket containing a small, vociferous black kitten with
a card attached to its neck. On it was written: "Will Agnes please
befriend Witch in memory of Young Si?"
