CHAPTER M
Three Candies


The last fare OF sunset had followed
the Wabash out under the rim OF the
west by the time Jack warhope came
back along the orchard path TO the
red-roofed cottage.
From the porch at the front OF the
house came the drone OF the bankers
voice. broken occasionally By the
preachers precise, ierky sentences.
Warhope listened for a moment.
The money-lender was talking about
quartersection that he had fore
closed on the day before. The woods
man had heard many an hour OF that
talk. With a shrug OF his shoulders.
he pushed the gate open and walked
around to the kitchen door.
With a step that the woods had
made light as a falling leaf he slipped
IN and stood motionless. The portlv.
pudgy form OF Mrs. Curry, the house
keeper, was bent over the cook stove
busy with the supper.
The flit OF shadow and the clink
OF dishes In the adjoining dining room
told the grlnning intruder that TexIe
was "settin'" the table For such an
occasion there would be a white cloth.
the best silver would be out. and there
would be three candles instead OF one.
The cllnk Of the dishes ceased and
the girl appeared In the doorway be
