and without investigating the other
trigger was pulled, the report of
a shot rang out, and Morgan Flyers

boy died instantly.

the less frequented roads his speed
grew to an alarming rate. And through
1t ALL in the swiftly-sighted then van
ishing scenery, the face of the woman
In the gray car haunted him. Yet he
flung himself farther and farther from
her.
After half hour OF speeding the
nervous energy had in a measure ex-
hausted itself, and Evans began to re-
view the situation more calmly.
The sight of the girl had certainly
wrought havoc in his heart, yet he felt
loath to present himself in the capacity

The girl had descended for the car
and was sitting on a comfortably es-
tablished boulder
That the man sitting on the step of
the motor and the girl on the boulder
had had a slight difference of opinion
was evident to Evans. There was airy
indifference expressed in every line of
the girls attitude.
Evans looked at the man. Then he
