Once More at Burton's Inn.

~'NS a. o0It ou INN.
Again Sara Wrandall found herself
in that never-to-be-forgotten room at
Burton's inn. On that grim night in
March she had entered without fear
or trembling because she knew what
was there. Now she quaked with a
mighty chill Of terror, for she knew
not what was there In the quiet, now
sequestered room. Burton had told
them on their arrival after a long
drive across country that patrons of
the inn invariably asked which room
it was that had been the scene of
h tragedy, and. on finding out, re.
fused point-blank to occupy it. In
consequence he had been obliged to
transform it into a sort of store and
baggage room.
Sara stood in the middle OF the
murky room. for the shutters had long
been closed to the light OF day. and
looked about her in W at the hetero.
geneous mass of boxes, trunks, bun.
dies ard rubbish, scattered over the
floor without care or system. She had
closed the door behind her and was
quite alone. Light sneaked in through
the cracks in the shutters, but sc
meagerly that it only served to in
crease the gloom. A dismantled bed
stead stood heaped up in the corner
She did no have to be told what bed
1t was. The mattress was there too

After dinner, Booth sat in the

He liked her. She was a keen-witted,
plain-spoken young woman, with few
false ideals and no subtlety. She was
less snobbish than arrogant. OF all
the Wrandalls, she was the least self
centered. Leslie never quite under

that she thoroughly understood him.
