The next morning he was found dead

jury was that he had met his death
by strangulation, as a result of the

A certain saloon man, who was sus-

arrested and placed on trial for the

they reached the edge of Close Hill

From Close Hill Gap one could see

II was a famous country, and both
Toms and Mabels ancestors had had
q share In the making of it. That
was why, when the villagers of Sud
bury spoke Of them as a handsome
couple there rose into their minds a
vision OF the match they would make.
Tom was young lawyer of Sud-
bury. and had lately succeeded to his
fathers law business. Mabel's folks
had been squires once, and were still
the social leaders of the town. In
contrast with her younger sister, Nora,
who loved nothing better than book,
Mabel was a dashing horsewoman.
She had persuaded Tom to take up
riding after their engagement, and
they rode every afternoon, much to the
discredit OF Toms business. Still.
