1t was an hour beyond the normal

night squad of deputies had come to

Griswold got up and crushed his sett

"Only fools and dead folk are denied

he returned Lets go up to the Win

The dinner to which they sat down
a little later was a small feast of Sc

Griswold was fiercely impatient to get
away to Margery.
Twice, on his way to her after leaT-
ing Raymer, he fancied he was fol-
lowed, and twice he stepped behind
the nearest shade-tree and frightened
his grip upon the thing in his right
hand pocket. But both times the rear
ward sidewalk showed itself empty.
Since false alarms may have, for the
moment, all the shock Of the real, he
found that his hands were trembling
when he came to unlatch the Grierson
gate, and it made him vindictively
self-scornful. Also, 1t gave him Q
momentary glimpse into another and
hitherto unmeasured depth in the val

the glimpse he was made to realize
that it is the coward who kills; and
kills because he Is coward.

Griswold joined the conference with

offices of the plant the following morn

Raymer was on the conciliatory hand,

Broffin came out and touched his hat

in the inquiring eyes.
She laughed softly. you see, 1t re-
solves itself into question of veracty
between you and Mr.. Andrew Gal
braith. You say you are not, and he
says you are. Which am to believer"
Broffin did some pretty swift think
ing. There had been times when he
had fancied that Miss Grierson, rather
than Miss Farnham, might be the key
| to his problem. There was one chance
in thousand that she might inadvert-
emily put the key into his hands If he
should play his cards skillfully, and he
took the chance.
"You can call 1t mistake of mine,
If you like" he yielded; and she
nodded brightly.
THAT Is better; now we can go on
comfortably. Are you too busy to
take q little commission from me?"
Maybe not. What is it?" He was
looking for trap, and would not COM
init himself too broadly.
There are two things that wish to
know definitely. OF course, you have
heard about the accident on the lake
Mr.. Galbraith is at our house, and he
is very ill-out of his head most of the
time. He is continually trying to tell
someone whom he calls 'MacFarland'
to be careful. Do you know anyone of
that name?"
Again Broffin thought quickly. If he
should tell the plain truth.
"Tell me one thing, Miss Grierson," he
said bluntly. Am l doin' business
with you, or with your father?"
"Most emphatically, with me. Mr.
Broffin."
"All right; everything goes, then.
Mr.. Galbraith has been figurin' on buy
ing some pine lands up north, and he
has sent MacFarland up to Duluth to
verify the boundary records ON the
county survey"
81 thought So" she affirmed. And
then: 1.-THE records are all right, Mr.
Broffin; but the lands which Mr.. Mac
Farland will be shown will not be the
lands which Mr.. Galbraith is talking
of buying. | want evidence of this
in black and white. Can you telegraph
to someone in DULUTH"
Brofin permitted himself a small
sigh of relief. He thought he had seen
the trap; that she was going to try to
get him away from Wahaska.
