As the car was going slowly 1 was able to catch clear view of Katie silhouetted against the thorny locust hedge bordering the road as she ran along 1t fur lively and bent almost double. With determination to cross examine her as soon as l returned for could not rid myself of the convic- ton that her errand had some con nection with her inquiry as to my destination -- l sent my car swiftly along the road to Bridgehampton. although my inclination was 10 throttle the engine to its lowest speed.
 For the more I contemplated my coming interview with the black mailing tramp, the less I liked the prospect. The reckless levity of his mood. as evidenced by the appella- ton of Sister," disturbed me even more than indications of an uglier temper would have done. l could not forget the impudence of his face and smile when. with my mother-in-law, I faced him in the woods behind the Durkee house, for there had been in it tinge or admiration most offensive to me.
 Madge Wishes for Dicky knaU that tbn 1-avv pccepnn of my errand lay in my seeing this man without possible eye-witnesses or auditors to the interviews; yet I could not help wishing that Mother Graham's dread of having her son | find out her deception had prevent ed my appealing to Dicky for aid in dealing with the man who claimed to be his brother
 "Aid." laughed 10 myself ! through nay fears at the word. There would have been no question of laid" if Dicky had known of this affair. could imagine the inn perious manner in which he would have bundled me out of the situa- ton, taking full charge of things himself. He would have dealt with Steve" competently and justly, protecting his mother and me at every turn. But there was no use wishing. For Mother Graham's sake l must keep Dicky out of it, and there was no one else near to whom l could turn, even if l wished to dangle the bones of the family skeleton before an outsider
 A motor horn sounded behind me and I drew to one side so that the car might pass me. But instead, it ranged alongside, and from the window Of a sedan. whose outlines knew, peered out familiar face while yellow hand signalled me to stop.

There was Benson, in his irre- proachable English butler uniform. the cook who weighs about 250 pounds. spreading all over the stair way almost obliterating slender Mary in her short black skirt and perky cap and apron who was clinging 10 her.
