As they approached, the shapeless

THE STRANGE CASE Of CAVENDISH

smite her Still it was not far to the
tree. and surely there could be no dan
ger ut this hour. If there had been
Westcott would never have asked her
to come. The very recurrence of his
name gave her strength and courage.
It was a rough path sandy, inter-
spersed with small rocks, and led
down into a gully. The tree stood on
the opposite bank, which was so steep
she had to grasp its Outcropping roots
in order to pull herself up.
Even after gaining footing she saw
nothing of Westcott, heard no sound
Indicating his presence. Suddenly
something moved TO her right, and she
shrank back against the tree, uncer-
tain if the shapeiess thing approach
ing was man or beast. He was almost
upon her before she was sure; then
her lips gave utterance to a little sob
Of relief.
"Oh! You frightened me sol"
The man stopped, scarcely a yard
away, a burly figure, but with face in
listinguishable.
"Sorry to do that" he said, ''but no
noise, please"
She shrank back to the edge of the
bank, conscious OF the grip Of a great
fear.
'You-you are not Mr. Westcott?"
She choked. who are you? What is
It you want?"

reckon it's the other party's turn to

She made no answer desperately
seeking some means of escape, the full
significance of her position clear be-
fore her.

She had dashed forward, seeking to
place the trunk OF the tree between

success was only for an instant. An
other hand gripped her, hurting her

Then he became aware of excitement

out revealing the figures of men.
With one spring he was across the
shapeless form on the ground, and
had vanished into the darkness be-

Lacy was first to reach the uncon-
scious body, stumbling over it in the
black shadow, as he rushed forward
revolver in hand. He cursed, rising to
his knees, and staring about in the
silent darkness.

Lacy crunched over to the side of
the shack, and bent down to get
better view. His fingers came in con
tact with the knife which upheld the
sash, ana he plucked it out, holding It
up into the beam of light passing
through the rent in the torn curtain.
He stared at the curiously carved
handle intently.
'"Thats Jim WestcOtt's jack-knife.
He's been listening to all we said.
Now we are up against it."
"What's that?" The question came
from Enright, stiu at the corner of
the house, unable to tell what had
happened.
"Westcott has been here listening to
our talk. He pried up the window
WITH this knife, so he could hear.
Moore caught him, and got knocked
out"
"He-he heard our talk in--in
there" repeated the dazed lawyer, his
lips trembling. "And-has got away?
Good heavensl man, where has he
gone? After the sheriff."
Lacy stared at him through the
darkness, and burst into a roar of un-
restrained laughter.
"Who? Jim Westcott? The sher
iff? Well, hardly at this stage Of the
game That's your way down East, no
doubt, but out in this country the
style is different No, sir; Westeott
isn't after any sheriff. In the first
place he hasn't any evidence. He
knows a thing or two, but he can't
prove it; and if we move faster than
he does we'll block his game-see?"
"What do you mean?n
Lacy leaned forward, and Kissed his
answer into Enright's ear.
"Put Cavendish where he can't get
at him. There's no other chance. #
Jim Westcott ever finds that fellow
alive our goose is cooked. And we've
got the advantage-we know where
the man is"
"And WestcOtt dOesn'tT
Exactly, but he will know He'll
comb these hills until he finds the
trail-that's Jim Westcott. Come on
back inside, both of you, and I'll tell
you my plan"
The door closed behind them, shut
ting out the yellow glow, and leaving
the hillside black and lonely.
Miss Donovan Gid not. go down to
supper. Beaton waited some time in
the office, his eyes on the stairs, but
she failed to appear, and he lacked
the necessary courage to seek her in
her own room. Then Enright called
him and compelled his attendance
The absence Of the girl was not caused
from any lack Of appetite, as she sub
sidized the Chinaman to smuggle her
supply of food by way Of the back
stairs, which she ate with decided
relish, but she had no desire to show
any anxiety regarding meeting with
the newcomers.
Her newspaper experience had given
her some knowledge of human nature
and she felt convinced that her task
of extracting information would be
greatly simplifed if these people
Sought her company first. She was
at the window when some one raped
at the door. She arose to her feet,
and took step or two forward, her
heart beating swifUey.
