Carron grasped the limp left

gold piece OF $50 in II.
Tho recipient OF this equivocal
coin looked at Il nervously.

out raising his eyes. first turn "a

All afternoon Carron drove on
thru canyons, up valleys. slowly
but surely gaining the higher
plateau OF the long mountain
range. The California sun scorched
down, and the man was giving out
when the sudden mountain twilight
fell.
Carron had about decided To
make camp BY the side OF the liz
tie creek he had been following
for the past hour. when a sudden
turn in the trail gave him a
glimpse OF tho place he sought.
The pines thinned. and between
their boughs he had glimpses OF a
house. The trees stopped at an alb
rupt clearing and Immediately II
was all before him--long. pale
facade, long. naked piazza, and
long. straight rows OF windows. an
austere. sharp-angIed mass in the
dark circle Of the forest.

While he looked a tall woman
with a white cloth over her head
and n broom in her hand came out
on the piazza. Seeing Carron. she
put her hand 10 the cloth with in.

Tho chestnut made comfortable
for the night, Carron took HIS gun
cases out OF the buggy and re-
turned TO the house. where Mrs.
RAIDER first showed him 10 his room
and later called him TO supper.
The table was set for three. but
as the meal proceeded and the
, third place remained empty. Carron
at last asked after RAIDER.
Perhaps Mr.. RAIDER can take a
day off and take me huntingf" he
began.
But he"
Il mean" Carron explained. "as

to see him now"
IF It is convenient"
She opened the door. and took
up one OF the lighted candles.
Then you will step this way. He's
in the study"
Again Carron recognized the I'M
expected-that RAIDER was TO be
found in a study instead of In an
office II seemed. not only that ho-
tells had lives out OF season. but
that their owners had lives outside

Mrs. RAIDER opened n door and
Carron found himself facing RAIDER.
