For answer Cherry tossed her the

odor of scent.

Fearfully Allx picked up the per.
fumed sheet, and read. in a coarse and
sprawling, yet Enthusiastically feminine
handwriting, the following words:
Dear Mrs. Lloyd: Perhaps you
would not feel 50 pleased with your
self If you knew the real reason why
your husband left Red Creek7 II was
because of quarrel he had with Hat
ty Woods.
"If you don't believe II you had bet

he had with Joe Kings crowd, and
where they were on the night Of Aug.

Hatty Woods, and see what he saws
Ask him If he ever heard of Bopps'
hotel and when he was In Sacramento
last. If he denies it. you can show
him this letter."
There was no signature.
Alix. who had read it first with a
bewidered and suspicious look. read
1t again, and flushed deeply at the
sordid shame of it. She laid II down
and looked in stunned conviction at
her sister.
Cherry, who was breathing hard,
raised her head, rested her chin on
her hands, elbows en- the table, and
stared at Alix defiaptIy.

covering her face with her hands.

Alix, watching her fearfully, was
at the change In her. Cher

pale. Her voice was dry and feverish, |
and there was sort of frenzy in her
manner that Alix had never seen be-

Alix was conscious, as she went out
to speak to Kow about breakfast, and
to give final glance at fires and
lights, tnat this was one of the times
when girls needed wise mother, or a
father, who could decide, blame, and
advise.
Coming back from the kitchen, with
pitcher of hot water, she saw Mar

staring at the last pink ashes of The

arms about the dogs shoulders, and
laid her face against his satmy head,

No suSl !ciOn of the truth stabbed
her, although she remembered Martin

she guessed enough to make her feel

suppose that Cherry and Peter had
planned to go away on that boat TO-

would have grasped the idea of one or
two days absence only. and they had
given her no warning of that. But
until this instant the thought of the
passionate desire that enyelOped them
had not reached her; she had imag-

something only little stronger than
her own.
