The d kers were gathered in many
little pups. on the deck--some
convd Ing in subdued tones, others
laugh and talking b0isterously--
but all pjoyIng themselves WE'LL
lvanh and Scotue were seated in
rear o e pilot house, discussing
and dill citing lngomar's story.
"WA do you think Of the story
now, 81 inight?" enquired Scottie,
"do yo4 Ike 1t or not!"
$50, Some parts | like, and
some ! pu't. There's too much
talk of d rder in it. The idea OF a
pretty numbering her own
brother, his money, is too horri.
bic to bd ought ot--lt is Improba
bIe--abs !. Don't you think so?,
II am hing to admit that it is
most hori . to bear, though such
things hi been done. | have
read aboul en- who murdered their
Own moth for money"
Yes, n lOdbt you have; but ii
is not plea nt to hear such things
told. 1t u les me shiver to hear
Ingomar te hg how Viola gave her
poor little k brother strychnine,
when he D |ught he was taking
quinine. y rder is bad enough In
any shape; when committed un

"DC you blk from what yo'
have heard Of pc story that Miss
Bramlett com ltted The murder|
"Ihere is nd pom to Goubt ii, il
we are to juda from The evidence
that has comeb against her. Il
IngOmar can her out OF the
scrape, wIthoud ally contradictinG
himself, he will Ie entitled to The
premium as t champion story
teller"
IL agree with pu there; because
if were on a by and such evi
dence was bro kit before me,
shoulG say guilt beyond the possl
bility of a doubt.
"Weli, Scottil give me you
opinion Of Lottie
"Ah, Sir KnigA that's an over
drawn picture. hgels have Ion
since quit vlsitit the earth.
don't think | have heard OF any bt
ing down in this SrId since Jaco
had such scuff1e tih them"
"You are wrong There, Scotti'
they have been pre- frequentl
since that affair with Jacob. b
let that pass and te me what 20
think OF Lotte."
"WelI, | think she q dear, swet
girl-much better [ an we find
real life. She makea splendid b
roine for a story-bd where wi
you go to see such election"
"That may be all rue, Scotti
yet itls so pleasant to ear Ingom'
talk about her-it makes the tea
come from his eyes; an the Quet
was so full that she b ID TO NAL
Ingomar stop while. Scottie q
you know that, some hdw or oth'
an idea has got into DIS head
miner
"No, indeedl is that SD"
"Pshaw! You didn't let me &

got into my head thai you are ju
like Lotiie that is, | mean TO s
that / imagine that you are j.
