What Lillian Suggested
 to Madgc.

I could not help wondering just what train of thought Lillian was following, for her only Interruptions were those concerning the frustrated attempt of Millv Stockbridge to tam per with my fruit punch and the cpl sode of the tea.
 She listened in silence to my tale of the telephone conversation the frenzied woman had had with me put a little while before she was 1ounci dead, of the threats she had made, or the mysteriously severed telephohe wire, and of MT. Stockbridges queer behavior. But at my mention of the man who had called upon me, she lifted her head for the first time.
 "Ah!" she said, drawing sibilant breath. "Now we come to the cullud gentleman in the Woodpile. What did he look like-this chap who claimed to be MT. Stockbrdge's attorney?
 described him minutely. This time, to my surprise, she kept her eyes fixed upon mine as I talked.
 You ought to thank your lucky stars for your memory, Madge,' shc said. Your description of that man is as good as a photograph for me better, in fact-for a photograph wouldn't reproduce some of the little earmarks you have noted.'
 "A Memory Test.
 Something in her manner made me think she recognized some of the pe- culiarities of which I had spoken. Was it possible that she knew the mans identity? In my eXcitem ent ! almost put the query to her, but [ checked myself in time. If she thought it best for me to share her knowledge, I knew that she would tell me everything without questioning. I made her see how vital it was that the mans identity be established. That was all with which I needed 10 concern myself. The rest could safely be left in her hands.
 A little later I found that she wished more than a description of the mans person. After sitting rig idly silent for a moment or two while she evidently conned and filed for future reference the information I had given her, she spoke again abruptly:
 Now I want another test of your memory, Madge. Can you give me your conversation with that man verbatim, even to the infection of your voices? I want to see whether he got anything out of you.''
 I do not believe that I have ever experienced more delicious m moment of gratifed pride than that which came to me when, at the close of my arratiOn-Which was an exact re- production of my conversation With the stran nger-Lillan said approving- ly and with lingering emphasis: -"$
 "G-o-o-d g-i-r-l! You didn't give him even the tiniest crumb of infor- nation, and that's vital in this mess Be sure that you stick to act,y the same attitude when the man comes back"

 Why, of course!' Lillian returned

were bitches Of running water edged
by footpaths. Scowling. he passed un-
der the overhanging bird cages Of the
Desert hotel without greeting for the
loungers, whose chairs were drawn up
against the shade of the brick walls.
The momentum slackened as Hardin
neared the place he called his home.
An inner tenderness diluted the sneer
that disHgured his face. He could see
Innes as she moved around In the lit
tie fenced-In strip that surrounded her
desert tent. She insisted on calling It
a garden. In spite Of his rnillery.
"Gerty's In bed. I suppose" thought
Tom. He had sudden vivid picture
of her accusing martyrdom. His mouth
hardened again. Innes, STOPPING over

he breads going to his office and
shrinks from the reproaches at home.

Innes. Strengthening, waved gay

He was making sudden dive for his
hotel when the gentle voice of the
Mexican hailed him.
"Will you come to my car? It's on
the siding right here. We can have a
little lunch and then look over some
maps together. I have some pictures
of the river and the gate. They may
be new to you"
Richard spent the afternoon In the
car. The twin towns did not seem so
hostile. He thought he might like the
Mexican.
Estrada was earning his fathers
mantle. He was the superintendent
of the road which the Overland Pm
cifc was building between the twin
