CHAPTER VIII.
In Which Miss Daniels Determines to
Find Out.

The historical Mr. Pepper doubtless
expected his clergyman to be almost
as much upset as he was by the news
of his action. But John Ellery was
provokingly calm.
Hush! Hush!" he commanded.

saw the look of absolute distress on
poor Kyan's face.
Never mind, Mr.. Pepper" he said.

matters over I'll go home with you

leading from the sitting room toward
the ell at the side Of the house. This
hall was almost pitch black.
"Here-here, It's" painted Ryan
Here's the door. / don't hear nothin',
do you? Listen."
They listened. Not sound. save
the dismal tick Of the clock In the
room they had left. Ellery knocked
on the door.

Silence, absolute. Ahfshai could

collapsed on his knees

THANK you. Miss Daniels. enjoyed
the dinner very much Good after
noon"
He hurried down the path. Annabel
watched him go. Then she did an odd
thing. She passed through the sit
ting room, entered the front hall. went
up the stairs, tiptoed by the door Of
her fathers room. and then up anoth-
er fight to the attic. From here
steep set OF steps led to the cupola
on the roof. In that cupola was
spyglass.
Annabel opened a window few
inches, took the sypglass from its
rack, adjusted II. laid II on the sill
of the open window and knelt. the
/ glass at her eve. The floor of the
cupola was very dusty and she was
wearing her newest and best gown,
but she did not seem to mind.
Through the glass she saw the long
slope of Cannon Hill with the beacon
at the top and Captain Mayo's house
near it. The main road was deserted
save for one figure, that OF her late
caller. He was mounting the hill in
| long strides.
She watched him gain the crest and
pass over it out of sight Then she
shifted the glass so that ii pointed
toward the spot beyond the curve of
the hill. where the top of thick
group of silver-leafs hid the parsonage.
Above the tree tops glistened the
white steeple of the Regular church,
If the minister went straight home she
could see him. But under those silver
leafs was the beginning of the short
| cut across the fields where Didama
had seen Mr. Ellery walking on the
/ previous Sunday.
Slowly she moved the big end of the
spyglass back along the arc it had
travelled. She found a speck and
watched 1t. 1t was a man, striding
across the meadow land. a half mile
beyond the parsonage, and hurrying
in the direction of the beach. She
saw him climb a high dune. jump a
fence. cross another field and finally
vanish In the grove of pines on the
edge OF the bluff by the shore.
The man was John Ellery. the min
lister. Evidently, he had not gone
home, nor had he taken the short
cut. Instead he had walked down
town a long way and then turned in to
cross the fields and work his way
back.
Annabel put down the glass and,
needless OF her fathers call, sat think
ing. The minister had deliberately de
ceived her More than that, he had
gone to considerable trouble to avoid
observation. Why had he done IT.
