WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEZ. 7, ym Chapter 24 The Tall Stranger “AS a matter of fact,” Kelland began again, “the old-timers around here say the fishing isn’t good yet. I think you’ll do better to go on up to Eagle Créek.” Poor old man, Julie thought compassionately, seeing beads of perspiration come to his forehead as he made continued effort to get rid of them. And even as she tried to put pieces of the puzzle together, she heard footsteps u»- stairs. A door opened, closed softly. Someone came down the stairway, the sound of footsteps came steadily down the long hall toward them. Julie’s heart pounded when, for a dramatic moment, the steps hesitated, stopped. Someone stood just outside the door. Then, with elaborate show of heartiness, he called, “That you Arnaldo? Come in. Meet my friends here.” A tall, man stepped instantly into the room. Julie’s hands tightened on the arm of her chair. It was the tall stranger of the trail, all right. He bowed briefly as Kelland made the introductions. “Dr. Hamilton— Mr. Fowler, this is—Mr. —a—” dull red spots mottled his cheeks, “Mr. Arnold Mon—Mount,” Kelland fumbled finally. “How do you do,” Julie ac- knowledged “quietly and won- dered why he tried so pitifully hard to hide the truth. It certainly wasn’t a plan very well formed. “This is a very great pleasure, sir,” Mr. ‘Mount’ said in smooth clipped English that marked him instantly as of foreign birth. Pete shook hands. “That's good,” he said dryly. “Hope we're not butting in on a party here.’ “But certainly not.” the tall igner turned now to Julie. “I eve we have met before? Aren't you the young lady who ran away from me on the day you were lost from your com- Panion?” Julie blushed hotly. “Yes, I— was—upset.” “Naturally.” His glance studied her boldly. “You enjoy fishing?” And when Julie, chin up. eyes levelled coolly, met that glance she saw that he was quite aware of the purpose of her visit—and he knew that she realized it!

I'd say.” Jest when Julie thought she could stand the strain no longer, Pete-pulled himself out of his chair, picked up his hat. Well, Kelland, if it’s. still all right to count on stopping here with you, we’ll go Bare and get the car. Left it down the road aways. We weren’t quite sure which place was yours.” Instantly Kelland and ‘Mr. Mount’ exchanged glances. “Why—yes—of course,” Harry Kelland faltered— “Plenty of time for that,” the stranger interrupted smoothly. “Why not wait until the heat of the day is passed? Come, let me show you some of the strange old treasures we have found here.” “Thanks a lot. look at them later.” Pete de- clined easily. “I don’t think Julie will mind a little sun. She needs the exercise. And I dont want to leave the car down on that highway too long. Somebody might want to borrow my tires.” _ Julie rose then, her heart rac- ing as she sensed growing tension in the veneer of politeness with which they were all painting the surface of the situation. “I assure you, your car will be perfectly safe.” ‘Arnold Mount’ insisted. “I shall, in fact. send my man down for it at once.” ~ His man! So there were stil] others in this strange household! Julie watched for Pete’s next move. , “Thanks, old man.” Pete’s grin We'll have a “You see—Mr. Kelland is quite | hopelessly insane.” Julie stared at him. Ridiculous. Harry Kelland might be out of | his mind with worry over Dawn. {| But he was certainly not mad. “Well, that’s news!” Pete raised he eyebrows. “You don’t mean “When we saw you coming,” Mount bowed sardonically “through the apple orchard, Mr. LSuLen made an attempt on his ife.” : “What for?” “He felt he could not bear to | see you, he said. And yet — ” he | smiled, “I understand you are among his closest friends.” “Well, we thought we were.” “Then,” he shrugged, “you see | he is unbalanced. I am sorry to | have had to frighten you.” Delib- | erately he put the little pistol into | his pocket. But, Julie noticed, he | kept his hand there too. “But I knew if you left to report his mental ill - health, Mr. Kelland would probably find some way to | end his life.” | “I — see.” Pete whistled soft’, . “So that’s it.” | Arnold Mount searched Pete’s | bland, innocent surprise, appar- ently found it satisfactory.
