CHAPTER III,

Sutherlandtown was a seaport. The vii
lage. which was a small one. consisted Of one
long street running parallel with the coast
and numerous cross streets running down
from the hillside and ending on the wharves.
On one Of the corners thus made stood the
Webb house. with its front door on the main
street and its side door on one Of the hill
side lanes. As the group Of men and boys
who had been in search OF Mr.. Sutherland
entered this last mentioned lane they could
pick our this house from all the others. as
II was the only one in which a light was
still burning. Mr.. Sutherland lost no time
in entering upo the scene OF tragedy. As
his imposing figure emerged from the dark
ness and paused on the outskirts Of the
crowd, blocking up every entrance TO the
house, a murmur OF welcome went up. after
which a way was made for him 10 the front
door.
But before he could enter some one
pluckea him by the sleeve.
Look up!' whispered a voice into his
ear.
He did so, and saw a woman body hang
ing half out Of an upper window. II hung
limp. and the sight made him sick, notwith-
standing his three score years Of experience.
Who's that?" he cried. That's not

"But this is horrible murmured Mr..
Sutherland. Has there been a butcher

As he uttered these words he Eel; another
quick pressure on his arm. Looking down
he saw leaning agains; him the form Of a
young woman, but before he could address
her she had started upright again and was
moving on with the throng. Il was Miss
Page.
1t was the sight Of this woman hanging
from the window which first drew attention
10 the house, volunteered a man who was
standing as a sort OF guardian at the main
gateway. Some Of the sailors wives who
had been TO the gharves TO SEE their
husbands on on the ship that sailed az day
break saw IL as they came up the lane on
their way home, and gave the alarm. With

Sutherland stepped out again upon the

Suddenly he stopped. A hand had
been laid on his arm and an insinuating
voice was murmuring in his ear:

to contradict her. In the interval since her
first appearance on the porch she had ex-
changed the light dress in which she had
danced at the ball for a darker and much
more serviceable one. and perhaps this token
Of her determination may have had its
influence in silencing him. He Joined The
crowd, and together they moved down hill.
This was too much for the servants Of the
house One by one they too left the house
till it stood absolutely empty. Jerry snufed
out the candles and shut the front door,
but the side entrance stood wide open, and
into this entrance, as the last footstep died
out on the hillside, passed a light and reso-
lutte figure. 1t was that of the musician
