alarmed at Campbel's excited manner. He
told her not to go to his house, and followed
after her until he had passed his door. Then
he stood and watched her minute, and then
turned back.
She heard nothing of tho murder until Sun

had heard two shots fired last night. This
was told her after she had met Campbell, but
she did not connect tho pistol shots with his
