ATER that same afternoon Garl- g [ ] ing, the surly lodge keeper of | . e Berkshire Towers, opened the . 4 gates to permit John Diamond's ; high-powered French limousine i ® ° to roll out upon the State highway. At a glance, one suspected Garling to be st“odds wfith his world, misogynist = as well as misanthrope. Which judg- & ; s s Use G Street Entrance only a large and somewhat battered fighting terrier for company, he lived in the lodge alone, seldom emerging ex- — ear l oth cept in the line of his duty when, as now, both he and the dog stood at at- tention, one on either side of the blue- gravel driveway. If the owner of the limousine saw these ' two faithful servitors as he passed, he made no sign. Seated stiffly erect, his gloved hands folded | across the handle of a malacca walking | stick, the millionaire kept his eyes fixed | on the road ahead. To judge from the frown which clouded his usually placid brow, matters of a disturbing nature , occupied him. That these matters had, p in part, to do with the recent tragedy s e r at Bride's House would have been a [ ] ) safe guess. His business editor had Just left after reporting on the unsatis- factory nature of his interview with | X [ Miss West; and that, in conjunction | with an overhearty luncheon of fried O e ear chicken and strawberry tarts, had | acted as a wet blanket over the great | man's spirits. ; s s Featuring shire Towers marks the beginning of | the Wood road, universally avoided by | the people of Hales Crossing because of its chill and sinister reputation. As i the limousine turned in here from the highway, a shadow might have been | observed to cross the face of John Dia- | mond. Not so very surprising, since | overhead were trees of such height and | spread that their interlacing branches cut off all view of the sky, creating even on & sunny afternoon the effect of | early twilight. Today the gloom was | & stygian. The chauffeur, an impressionable little 5 cockney, and the footman; on whom ¥ 7 P the story of the German stable boy's untimely exit from life had had a most nerve-racking effect, looked at each oth- er furtively. A punctured tire at the: § moment would be a bit of bad luck which 4 neither cared to contemplate. The sight 75 of a trim blue-gray rcan picking its ‘way along the road just ahead came as a welcome diversion. On the roan | . sat a young woman whose unconven- tional riding costume in no way detract- g ed from her charm of smoothly round- | ed figure, and whose hair was red| enough to suggest a generous supply of # temperament. Both flunkies sat up con- 7 sciously as they passed. | An imperative order through the speaking tube brought’ the limousine é . a stop. John Diamond had also| ken note of the roan and its rider. | While they waited foir the two to catch up he absently adjusted his collar Herearethe GreatestShirt Values The girl turned and looked dnwni the millionaire continued. “Indeed?” Miss West's attitude was| g e e , the Men of Washington! emptory. “Mr. Cropsey informs me you are determined to remain at Bride’s House.” There being no answer to this| he continued. “It is seldom an employe | of mine fails to carry out my orders."] N N - Eofesgs opular N\ : Did I understand you o 4 \ ese say—orde: N\ \ The owner of the limousine lowered | [ p NN the window the rest of the way B"di [ ] N leaned one elbow on the sill. ‘The| iy \ ea ureso interview gave every promise of be- R ° coming heated. “I told Mr. Cropsey to| see that you were moved out of here| ;Trr:‘edé::;lyin ';lh"m:em;: :hmr‘nfrf;‘f;j:;: [ 2 Collar Attached veie .'
