necessary TO go into that. Now, as to
their arrival at the inn. The blizzard
had not set in. Last night was dark,
of course, as there is no moon, but 1t
was clear and rather warm for the
time Of year. The couple came here
about nine o'clock in a high power run
about machine, which the man drove.
They had no hand baggage and appar-
emily had run out from New York.
Burton says he was on the point Of
refusing them accommodations when
the man handed him a ~hundred-dollar
bill. 1t IA more than Burton's Gu

The sheriff resumed his conclusions

sentence, but hurried past him to the
door, throwing it open and bending
her body to the gust that burst in upon
them.
He sprang after her, grasping her
arm to lead her across the icy plat
form to the automobile that stood in
the lee of the building.
Disdaining his command to enter
the %tonneau, she stood beside the car
and waited until he cranked it and
took his place at the wheel. Then she
took her seat beside him and permit
ted Kim to tuck the great buffalo robe
about her. No word was spoken. The
man was a stranger to her. She for
got his presence in the car.
Into the thick of the storm the mo-
tor chugged. Grim and silent, the
man It the wheel, ungoggled and
tense, sent the whirring thing swiftly
over the trackless village street and
out upon the open country road. The
woman closed her eyes and waited.
You would know the month was
March. He said: 1T comes in like
a lion" but apparently the storm swal-
lowed the words for she made no re-
spouse to them.
They crossed the valley and crept

force of the gale was broken. IL she

Drake. Il will join you in a jiffy."
She walked between the two men
into the feebly lighted office of the
inn. The keeper of the place, a dreary
looking person with dread in his eyes
hurried forward, She stopped, stock
still. Some one was brushing the
stubborn, thickly caked snow from her
long chinchilla coat.

ping in the wind. Mrs. Wrandall
caught her breath. For the briefest
instant it seemed as though she was
on the point of faltering. She dropped
farther behind the sheriff, her limbs
suddenly stiff, her hand going out to
the wall as if for support. The ext
moment she was moving forward res
olutely into the icy. dimly lighted
room.
A single electric light cleaned in
the corner beside the bureau. Near
the window stood the bed. She went
swiftly toward it, her eyes fastened
upon the ridge that ran through the
center of it: a still, white ridge that
seemed without beginning or end.
With nervous fingers the attendant
lifted the sheet at the head of the
bed and turned it back. AS he let il
fall across the chest of the dead man
he drew back and turned his face
away.
She bent forward and then straight
ened her figure to its full height, with
out for an instant removing her gaze
from the face of the man who lay
before her: a dark-haired man gray in
death, who must have been beautiful
to look upon in the flush of life.
For a long time she stood there
looking, as motionless as the object on
which she gazed. Behind her were the
tense, keen-cyed men, not one OF
whom seemed 10 breathe during the
grim minutes that passed. The wind
howled about the corners of the inn.
but no n heard it. They heard the
beating Of their hearts, even tho tick
ing of their watches, but not the wall
of the wind.
At last her hands, claw.like in their
t~enseness, went slowly to her temples.
Her head dropped slightly forward.
and a great shudder ran through her
body. The coroner started forward,
expecting her to collapse.
Please go away" she was saying
in an absolutely emotionless voice.
Let me stay here alone for a little
while"
That was all. The men relaxed. They
looked at each other with a single
question in their eyes. Was it quite
safe to leave her alone with her dead?
They hesitated.
She turned on them suddenly.
spreading her arms in a wide gesture
OF self-absolution. Her somber eyes
swept the group.
Il can do no harm. This man is
mine. l want to look at him for the
last time-alone. viii you go?"
DO you mean, madam, that you in
tend to" began the coroner in alarm
She clasped her hands. 81 mean

rid ears. Who knows? He may hear

Wondering, the others backed from
the room. She watched them until
they closed the door.
Listening, they heard her lower the
window. 1t squealed like a thing in
fear.
Ten minutes passed. The group in
the hall conversed in whispers.
Poor thing" said the i~nnkeeper's
wife.

breath, "she won't have to worry any
more about his not coming home
