The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-12-12

come just when he was begfnniHs to mend the cancer took a look at the work he'd done on it and he couldn't l a got through all that under an hour l He's fixed a little square of tin oyer l the rent as neat as neat. And then wasn't it queer the feIla should have come on him taerea place he wouldn't be in not one morning of hundred7' r
 ssYou believe he made up the whole story And that no one eanoe st aII?s' z.I'm pretty sure of 1t. There wasn't a sign OF track and as to the fel1a's Jumpin' from stone to stone. there's l distances of fourteen and sixteen feet between. StiH he might a, done it. or he might a walked in the water. and were not going to speak tin [ were sure.''
 ..Go on We're still in the dark. Joe. said Linda
 Well, Miss Linda, you remember how Puttick advised MT Petershann to pay or go, and how told him fo stick it out, and when I'd given him that advice, said to you that was going aaeross to Senlis lake, and asked AEr- Quaritch to tell Puttick. I thought there was good chance that Puttick would put on one of his partners to I SCdIE AAS5. II LOu see AQDJ0Y AHcW WHICH way I were going but you and him. so it'd be fair certain that. 1f I was interfered with it would prove Putt1ck guilty
 That was clever, though you ran a horrible risk Was there any parttcu- ] lar reason why you chose to go to Sen l lis lake?
 Sure. | wanted to see # any one had been oyer there looking for your brooch. On,y us and Puttick knew tt was lost. and you'd said how your ia l ther had paid dollars and dollars for it. When a thing like that's lost woodsmen I'll go miles to try to dnd it, and Puttick must a told the TomIin- sons, for there was tracks all around our fire where we boiled the kettle"
 @Do you think they found my brooch 2''
 Huh! No. I pick 1t up myself i've minutes after you drop it. I only keD' ] It, pretendin' it was lost, as 8 bait like 1 I've told you what happened to me coming back and how I had to shoot l Dandy TomIinson. His shooting at me after was down give me 9 sur prise. for F didn't think he'd want to do more than scare me, but I guess 1t 1 was natural enough, for Puttick was gettin' ratt1ed at me always nosins around.
 .It's all very clear. November and we know everything except who it was shot Bill Worke. .
 sI guess Muppy Tomhnson's the man
 ssWhat makes you think taat2''
 sBin was shot with 45-76 rtae- Both Putttek and Dandy Tomlinson carries 3e73os. Muppy's rife is 45-75.
 tsHow can you knoW what sort of l rifle WAS used to shoot w1th2 The bullet was never found, 2 said Linda
 q picked up the shell the first t11aes I was over with you.''
 ssAnd you never told mel" said she 1 seBut that doesn't matter. What I'm really angry with you for is your malz7 ing me promise not to go out yesterday and then deliberately going out your self to draw their fire. Why did yo1 do it? If you had been killed I should never have got over fl. 7
 And what 'ud have done IF you'd been killed. Miss Linda9"
 seWhat do you mean, Joegs said lin da softly.
 esI mean that if one of the party were with got killed in the woods l while was their guide I'd go right 1 into Quebec and run boarding house or become q politician. That's all I'd. be good for.''
