When I screw- ed up the courage to—to—look at his face, his eyes were closed in degth. “The night you saved us from drowning, I saw the eyes again— in the water.” “What!’ Jim sat bolt upright. e, the swimmer, / Peggy spoke . rapldly, almost in- ‘eoherently. scuttled our Fear was mirrored in Julia's eyes “ft 18 unbelievable!” he exclaimed, | “¥éu haven't’ a faint twinkle in eye, “a family feud, by chance?” “No, there is only one person I efifl conceive plotting to drive me from Yew Lodge—that is Com.

She made no effort to answer the summons; instead she sat glued to the stool, her numb fingers wander- ing over and around her sailor collar., The cord which she wore loosely around her neck and con- cealed from sight, was broken. Brushing by Peggy, Jim opened the veranda door and peered out- side. No one was visible. “Wait!” Peggy turned on the| porch light. “Don't go unarmed.” He stopped and regarded her queerly. “How did you know I was un- armed?” “Why, you left your gun—my pis- tol” she stammered, “in your over- coat pocket—the coat that Julla took back to you.” Heavy footsteps crunched the ‘lagstone and Obadiah Evans step- oed within the lighter area. “Well, Miss Prescott, how be ye?” with a kindly critical look at Peggy. “You have news?"” she questioned. “Judge Fisher arranged every- thing satisfactorily. No, thank ye, I| can't sit down,” as she pulled for ward a chair. “Just stopped to say he's made me your guardian, so to speak, being as I live at your front door.” Obadiah chyckled at his own joke. “I'll appoint Jim here, my dep- uty.” He turned to the silent man by his side and his face grew serious. “Jeb Clarke phoned in that Ed's sorrel mare was waiting in the barnyard late this morning.” “Saddled and bridled?” q"mstlon-_ ed Jim. “Yep. in.” Obadiah stepped around Jim and faced Peggy. “You must expects some unpleas- antness, for Stanton’s death will; make quite a flare-up. I'm think- Jeb said the mare was all as Peggy and Jim bent over her. ing,” and as she paled, “Have you a lawyer friend?” She shook her head. Obadiah turned to Jim. “Suppose you drive into Litch- field and talk things over with Tom Williams; Tom’s a good criminal lawyer,” he explained to Peggy. Peggy's pale cheeks grew a shade whiter. “Need you go now?” she asked, accompanying the two men®to the front door “It's better not to waste time.” Obadiah felt in his pockets for a IF Y/ASK ME, MAW, D -S00NER BE SHOT THAN HAFTA WEAR THIS DANG STOVE-PIPE!
