Morning.

clear and sunshny with the prom
ise Of approaching spring that
March days so royalty give sometimes,
brought 10 us all a little doub, az TO
our theory OF the wild happenings OF
the night before.
Lillan's little girl, Marion Morton
had been frightened by the appearance
OF woman's face at her window A
| little later while talking with Dicky H.
front OF the hall door ! had seen a
shadow fiji aero. the glass and the
next moment a bullet had buried itself
IN the wall behind me We had deter.
mined tha, the unknown assallant must
be- Mrs AlliS, the desperate woman
who once had called herself the wife
OF Robert Savarin, and whom he had
seen looking out of the window Of the
train which brought him to Marvin
The theory had appeared entirely
plausible the night before, but the cal
cium of the morning sunlight turned
upon II was a different matter Dlcl,y
was the first to utter doubt aloud
II say. Madge," he said abruptly a.
he stood brushing his hair before the
mirror We were sharing his mothers
room, having given our own up to our
guests don, you think We were bit
premature last night abou, saddlin0
Mrs. AlliS with tha, melodramatic
movie stunt, That kid Of Lis is just
as imaginative Al they make EN-, nerves
strung as taut as violin cord She
might very easily be mistaken about
seeing womans face Don't you think
so"
That Doesn't Explain"
Yes" agreed slowly, for the
same thought had come to me in the
morning but that doesn', explain the
pistol sho, and the shadow on the
glass"
"No, but you'll find tha, there's some
good explanation Of those things Their,
must have been some ono loose las;
night, perhaps some drunk shooting III
the village Wen hear from it later ii
the day, I'll wager"
My common sense told me that Dick,
was probably right bu, a little fear, a
recollection ot lillianS face when Sin,
moved Marion'S bed out oi range uf thc
window made nr utter protcs
against settling the matter in this of
hand fashion
II don't think you can make lillilr
believe II was some drunken marauder,
| said
Nonsense % Dicky returned 81 III,
go, as sound a headpiocc as any per
son, man or woman, ! ever saw y
course ri admit shes a bit of he
feed now about tha, kid she can, thinI
Nraigh, where Marion is concerned
Rut You'll find she'll admit she IS mi,
taken before the day is out
! said nothing more but a, breakiaS
| watched both Lillian and Robert Sa
vatin narrowly as D,cky aired nj
theory of the events ~ the night be
fore Marion was not At the hreakiaS
table, for ! had forbidden Lillian
arouslng the sleepy little thing, who
was sure, was worn ont from he
irigh, oi the night before. 80 that on
talk was urhampered by her presence
"Oh, Mrs Gfshaml"
II am inclined 10 think YOU are right
Mrs. Graham the artist said eagerly
and ! knew that the wish was inicc,
father to the though, IN his case
understood Just how much he mus
dread the temperance IN his lie ~
the woman who had come So near +,
hlot,inp him forever from lic and ~
Joys, realized how much he must wei
come the suggestion that some one cls'
was the cause OF our terror the nigh
before
But Lillian stood firm m her belle
that Mrs Ali, ard go o,hcr was re-
sponNhlc for the pistol shot that cirt
,o near ~ killing me
