CHAPTER XVI
The Blow.

The Blow.
He never finished the sentence. A
whirlwind was upon him. Before he
could raise a hand to defend himself,
Kenneth Gwynne's brawny fist smote
him squarely between the eyes. He
went down as though struck by a
sledge-hammer, crashing to the ground
full six feet from where he stood Be-
hind that clumsy blow was the weight
of a thirteen-stone body, hurled as
from mighty catapult
He never knew how long afterward
1t was that he heard voice speaking
to him. The words, jumbled and un-
ineligible, seemed to come from a
great distance. He attempted to rise,
gave it up and fell back dizzily. His
vision was slow in clearing What he
finally saw, through blurred, uncertain
eyes, was the face of Kenneth Gwynne,
far above him-and it was long time
before it stopped whirling and became
fixed in one place. Then he realized
that it was the voice of Gwynne that
was speaking to him, and he made out
the words Something warm and wet
crept along the sides of his month, over
his chin, down his neck. His throat
was full of hot nauseous fluid. He
raised himself on one elbow and spat.
"Get up! Get up, you filthy whelp
I'm not going to hit you again. Get
up, say"

He felt for his nose, filed with hor-

Gwynne saying. "You black hearted,

aged to say at last.
"Shut upl You've dealt her the
foulest-"
He broke off abruptly, struck by
the others expression: Lapelle was
staring past him in the direction of
the house and there was the look of
frightened, trapped animal in his
CLASSY eyes.
"My Cdr fell from his lips, and
then suddenly he sprang forward,
placing Kenneth's body between him
and the object of his terror. "Stop
her! For Gods sake, Gwynne-stop
her!"
For the first time since Barry went
crashing to earth and lay as one dead,
Gwynne raised his eyes from the

blood-smeared face. Vaguely he re-
membered the swift rush of Viola's
feet as she sped past him, but that
was long ago and he had not looked
to see whittier she fled.
She was now coming down the steps
of the porch, half-raised rifle in her
hands. He was never to forget her
white, set face, nor the menacing look
In her eyes as she advanced to the
killing of Barry Lapelle-for there
was no mistaking her purpose.
''Drop DOWN." he shouted to La
pelle. AS Barry sank covering be-
hind him, he cried out sharply to the
girl: "Viola! Drop that gunl Do
you hear me? Good Cd. have you
lost your senses?"
She came on slowly, her head a lit
tie to one side the better to see the
partially obscured figure of the
crouching man.
1T won't do you any good to hide,
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-11-05

pull trigger TO save my life."
1t suddenly occurred to him that he
ought to intercept Rachel Carter be-
fore she reached the house, not only
to prepare her for the shock that await
ed her but to devise between them
some means of undoing the harm that
already had been done. They would
have to stand together In denouncing
Barry, they would have to swear to
Viola that the story was false. He
realized what this would mean to
him: an almost profane espousal of
his enemy's cause, involving not only
the betrayal Of his own conscience,
but the deliberate reputation of the
debt he owed his mother and her peo-
pie. He would have to go before Viola
and proclaim the innocence of the
woman who had robbed and murdered
his own mother. The uDthinkable the
unbelievable confronted him.
A cold sweat broke out all over him
as he stood down by the gate, torn be-
tween hatred for one woman and love
tOI hdCtlGl onu OdI-
ter. He could not spare one without
sparing the other; lying to one of
them meant lying for the other But
there was no alternative. The mem
ory of the look in Viola's eyes as she
shrank away from Lapelle, tlP
thought of the cruel shock she must
have suffered, the picture of her as
she came down the path to kill-no,
there could be no alternative!
And SO, as he leaned rigidly against
the gate, sick at heart but clear of
head, waiting for Rachel Carter, he
came to think that, after all, duel
with Barry Lapelle might prove to be
the easiest and noblest way out of his
difficulties.
