SOMEWHAT eased in mind, now that
his own preparations for escape had been
begun, McMurdo went on to the lodge. 1t
had already assembled, and only by compl-
Gated signs and countersigns could he pass
through the outer guard and inner guard who
close tiled it. A buzz of pleasure and well
come greeted him as he entered. The long
room was crowded, and through the haze of
tobacco smoke he saw the tangled black name
Of the Bodymaster, the cruel unfriendly fea
lures of Baldwin, the vulture face of Harfa-
way the secretary, and a dozen more who
were among the leaders of the lodge, He re-
joiced that they should all be there to take
counsel over his news.
"Indeed, it's glad we are to see you,
Brother!" cried the chairman. "There's busi-
ness here that wants Solomon in judgment
to set it right"
dts Lander and Egan," explained his
neighbor as he took his seat. @They both
claim the head money given by the lodge for
the shooting of old man Crabbe over at Styles
town, and who's to say which fired the
bullet?"
McMurdon rose in his place and raised his
hand. The expression of his face froze the
attention of the audience. There was dead
hush of expectation.

should be known and discussed than
that blow should fall upon us without
