SYNOPSIS

The body of an unknown woman partly
handcuffed is found at Lonesome Cove.
Chester Kent. a scientist, investigates the
mystery.
He meets Artist Sedgwick, an old friend,
who is suspected of killing her and plans
to help him.
Sedgwick tells of meeting a beautiful
young woman, name unknown, with whom
he has fallen in love.
Kent and Sedgwick go to the inquest
upon the woman's body and engage Adam
Balm as Sedgwick's lawyer.
Sheriff Schlage, and Coroner Breed sud-
denly withdraw the body from public
view. Gansett Jim, an Indian, accuses
Sedgwick of murder.
Kent secures an embroidered silver star
found on top of the cliff above Lonesome
Cove the night the woman died.
Kent believes the woman was hand
cuffed to a man who wore the star. He
meets Alexander Blair, who acts in a sus-
piciouS manner.
Gansett Jim, thinking Sedgwck murder
ed the woman, tries to kill him. Kent
hears of Wilfrd Blair AleXander's scape-
grace son.

exhaled it in painful noiselessness,
fattening himself amid the greenery

Gansett Jim. He carried pick and
spade and walked slowly. Presently
he disappeared in the willow shaded
place of mounds. The sound of his toll
came. muftled, to the ears of the hid
den man.
Cautiously Kent worked his way,
now in the stream, now through the
heavy growth on the banks, until he
gained the roadway. Once there he
went forward to the front gate of
Hedgerow house. Kent paused for
the merest moment. His gaze rested
on the heavy black door. Heavier and
blacker against the woodwork pen

TO the normal human being the girls

provocative of anything rather than

Grape on Hedgerow house, laughed as
he turned to the open road.

ion versus Sedgwick," he amended.

A sharp humming rose in the air and
brought the idle counselor to his win

thor of his bewilderment descending

men were sitting with their feet on one
