“Did you hear that yell?” he gasped.
“Of course. What was it?” Bob said quickly.
“I—I’m not sure but I’m afraid it was Helen.”
“Helen!”
Both boys uttered the name at the same time.
“It sounded like her voice and she’s gone.”
“Gone? Where?”
“I—I wish I knew. You see, she stepped out on the porch just a minute ago and then I heard that yell. I rushed out as quickly as I could but she wasn’t there.”
Just then Jacques joined them.
“What dat yell?” he demanded.
