She could go no further. The tears burst

He accordingly climbed into the front
seat with the professor. When they came
to a road that branched off at a point out
of view from the professors house, the doc
tor asked to be set down. He started up
the branch road, but stopped when he came
to a thicket. After the carriage had gone
on he climbed over the wall at the roadside
and set off across the field in the direction
OF Fairview.
When he came to the top of a knoll that
commanded q view of the river he paused
again. 1t was not more than an eighth of

conscious of an impulse to shut his ears to
what this girl would tell him, to fly from her

CHAPTER v.-MR PHILBRICK GOES
FISHING,

Early next morning DR.. Williams went
to the undertaker's and made thorough
examination Of Starkweather's body. A
wakeful, restless night had left him greatly
depressed, and he went away from the I'M
dertaker's feeling worse than before.
This was before breakfast. and shortly
after it he set out for Fairview. Mr.. Phil
brick was waiting for him at the junction
of the main road and the short street, or
lane. that led to the doctors house.
Good morning. DOCTOR" said Mr.. Phil
brick, cordially. Il saw you coming and
v aited for you. I presume you're bound fot
the professor's?"
Yes" answered the doctor, making an
honest but almost comically unsuccessful
effort to conceal his growing aversion for
this man.
I'm going that way, too" continued Mr..
