Pucel croaked again and fluttered strugglingly upward to a chair and looked at the priest with his sus- picions confirmed. The priest in the meantime mut. tered something that sounded very much like “Curse the bird” and was most unsuitable to his cloth, and | had regained his threatened balance. “Why, Father Robart!” 1 mur- mured in a reproaching way. He stood, a long black figure, with the wind sweeping the skirts of his robe outward and threatening his shallow shovel hat. In spite of'his trappings he looked anything but plous. Still, priests are but normal, and perhaps the mysterious iliness that had brought h'm to Armene had made him a little more peevish than ordinary. Peevish, however, was scarcely the word; the man was glowering (own at me, he was fairly bubbling with wrath, but he was still silent. “Father Robart!” I said again in gen.le reproach. “Such words from a man of God.—May I trouble you for a match?” His rage bubbled over at once. He took a menacing step or two toward me, his long black arms look- ing, 1 must say, anything but feeble. “I suppose,” he sald, “that you've told the police:” “No. Not yet.” “Why?" “Why what?” He forced himself, I thought, to take a long breath and to become steady. “Why have vou not told the police what youve just told me?’ he asked more coolly, but with the still look deepened in his light eyes. “l haven't had time,” | said with a degree of honesty. “I had more im- portant matters to explain to them yesterday. But it's my duty, of course, to inform them of it.” “It doesn't matter,” said Father Robart. “Having no alibi is noth- ing.” “Nothing at all,” I agreed. “Still, I suppose the police will ask—why has this man been at some pains to prepare a false alibi?" [ QUESTION that is easily answered,” he sald coldly. “In these unsettled times, when the 1 sprang to my feef. She was standing there, glowing in the fresh cold air of the morning. A spark of laughter was dancing in her eyes, and her cheeks were pink. She wore some kind »f tweedish-looking jacket and skirt of a soft, warm | gray, and a scarlet beret was perched on one side of her bright hair, and there was a touch of something scarlet at her throat, and she looked altogether very nice. “Nothing,” 1 said slowly. Her face sobered. “Why—what is the matter? What have I done?” she asked in a small voice. “Nothing at all. Nothing. There’s nothing wrong."” I realized that J was babbling and drew myself wp short. After all, 1 could scarcely tell the girl that I wished she wouldn’t manage to look like that. She would say, and rightly: “Why on earth not?” And I would say as rightly: “No reason at all. It's noth- ing to me. Nothing—" 1 was bab- bling again, fortunately not aloud this time, “We were only talking,” I sald more lucidly. “The priest and 1. He explained the matter of his false alibl.” 1 told her of the result of the en- counter, and she listened gravely. “It sounds,” she sald when I'd finished, “rather reasonable. At least I think it will sound rather reasonable to the police. “Perhaps,” 1 agreed. “Neverthe- less—1 think the priest is not what | [ 120 YEARS AGO From The Empire 1 g ' JUNE 16, 1913 Among the passengers aboard the Northwestern leaving Seattle for Juneau were Miss Mina Sower- by, Miss May Otteson, Esther Carl- son, Ruth Carlson, J. G. Shepard, Miss Elizabeth Heid, Miss Henri- etta Heid, Thomas Cole, Mrs. W. S. Pullen and Ralph Martin. The Juneau High School band planned to give a series of open air concerts beginning on the next' Saturday evening. The baseball situation for the Fourth of July had been cleared up and the games with Douglas agreed upon by the sports commit- tee and the committee was to meet- in the evening to take up other sports and plan an entertainment program. The Rt. Rev. P. T. Rowe, Episco- pal Bishop of Alaska, started on his long journey that he expected to last until well along in Septem- ber. He sailed for Skagway from where he planned to go to White- horse and down the Yukon River, stopping at many points.

Good God, how I wish you could leave!" “]T ISN'T just flattering to think that you want me out of the way,” she said lightly, although her eyes leaped to mine. “There’s nothing I should like better,” I said brusquely. “I'm sorry, but I can't be light-hearted about it Her smile vanished. She sald gravely: “Let's not begin that again. can't leave even if | would.” She spoke very stifly and coldly, and 1 felt puzzled and dismayed; 1 had only wanted to be sure she was safe. She leaned a little towarfi me and said suddenly: “Don’t look like that. You've been everything that's—" after a pause she said “kind,” and 1 felt pleased and yet rather let down. “I'll be very careful. 1 won’t take any chances atall.
