CHAPTER xi.-contInued.

They were near the DayDtrry Dusn,
though entirely out from It's protec-
ton. AS the drizzling rain settled
down thicker and thicker about them,
Agatha tried again. Slowly h
soaked James to his knees. and slowly
she helped him creep, as she had crept
toward him In the night, along the
stones and up into the sheltered cor
ner under the bayberry. II was only
q little better than the open, and 1t
had taken such prodigies OF strength
70 get there!
Agatha made a pillow for James
head and sat by him. looking earnestly
at his flushed face; and from her heart
she sighed, "Ah, dear man. It was too
hard! 1t was too hard!"
1t was a long and weary walt for
help, though help OF a most efficient
kind was on the way. Agatha had
been looking and listening toward the
upper wood, whittier Hand had disap-
peared. she had eyen called, from
time to time. on the chance that she
could help to guide the assisting
party back to the cove. At last, as she
listened for a reply to her call. she
heard another sound that set her won.
Gering; 1t was the p-p-peter-peter OF q
motor boat. She looked out over the
small expanse OF ocean that was visi.
BILE to her, but could see nothing. New.
ertheless the boat was approaching, as
its pulling proclaimed, 1t grew more
and more distinct, and presently O
strong voise shouted Alloy: Are you
there7"
Three times the shout came. Agatha
made q trumpet Of her hands and an
swered with a call on two notes, clear
and strong. "All right" came back;
and then. "Call againl We can't find
youi" And so she called again and
again, though there were tears In her
eyes and a lump In her throat for
very relief and JOY. When her eyes
cleared, she saw the boat, and watched
while 1t anchored well off the rocks
then two men put ashore In a row.

and then, for the first time in all the
long ordeal. Agatha,s nerves broke and
her throat hlled with sobs. AS the en-.
chauffeur came near. she reached a
hand up to him. while with the other
she covered her weeping eyes In

vague something In her mind It had
to do with Forrest Cain and the en-
gagement she had made with him She
almost regretted making il, vet she
knew what he had to say would have
to be said, so she braved herself 20 20
through the ordeal.
In the meantime Forrest Cain was
speeding toward his shack in his car.
He passed the point where the road
crosses the bridge and about three
miles farther came to the place where
a road led off to the left through the
large granite posts. Every time he
had passed this point Cain had OBJ
served the granite posts. He knew
they must be on what was supposed
to be Gordon Kelly's property Evil
IDENTIFY, therefore, the road led 70 the
habitation where Kelly lived before he
went to Atlanta and broke his leg.
Since his personal encounter with
Gordon Kelly, Cain had often thought
of him in connection with his noun
tain home, recalling what Deery mad
told him about the young mans IA
Their killing himself by jumping off
mountain while crazed with liquor.
The weirdness Of this act had created
a profound impression on Cain.
The Granite Posts.
Approaching the granite posts on
this particular morning, the incident
OF the strange death suddenly flashed
across the mind Of Cain He brought
his car to stop and gazed curiously
at the pillars, which seemed TO stand
as guardians Of a mysterious realm.
He then let his gaze wander TO the
road which passed through the posts
and was soon lost TO view, winding
through a fine forest of hardwood
trees. The road itself was hard, firm
and well made and had a top dress
ing of granite, ground fine, the same
kind Of stone the pillars were made
Of Within the open gate. even the
woods and the ground underneath
seemed TO be the recipients OF care.
The trees were trimmed and there
were no dead branches lying on the
ground The idea created in Gains
mind was that il was the entrance to

n.y." What had Gordon Kelly to do
with II all2 he wondered. Where did
this ball player fit in?
Overcome with curiosity Cain
started his car and turned In the road
that led through the granite posts. He
would investigate, he said to himself
What better chance would he have,
with Gordon Kelly on his way north
to join his ball club?
Cain was not a slow driver. He
threw his car into high speed and
raced up the winding road. The road
was as smooth as a billiard table ana
the crunch Of gravel under his tires
was music to Gains ears He had
covered more than half mile Of the
driveway and there was still no sign
Of a habitation. when he suddenly
heard the sound of a horn, followed
by a sharp cry He looked up quickly
to see an automobile coming down
