The dark fell over US. The sound
of the storm obliterated his breath

a truce remembered from primal
days.
don't know how long it had
continued when Hayward and
Southley came. Their forms sud
denly appeared in the open door:
and each of them carried candles.
Villas still held the pistol; and it
cleaned in the candleight.
Villas" his father called. "Put
down that thing!'
He FASTENED about the table, and
my aged host leaped in front of me.
tried to push him away; and his
answer was laugh-one grim syl-
iibie of laughter, ironical.
"He won't kill me- he said. Pm
the goose-that lays the golden
eggs. He won't kill me-
Villas screamed at us. The muir
der-madness was on him vet.
He struck me- he cried. "The
devil struck me. He's got to apollo
gize. He found me with Josephine,
and he struck me as if I were
dog"
His father took the pistol from
his hands, and put it in his pocket.
Southley sighed little, and placed
his candle on the table. The girl
rose up behind us. and was
amazed at her self-control. It had
all come back. Ito he continued

II was afffHdd las. ne was COIti-
ing in from one of his long walks.
Hayward gasped behind me, and as
| moved back the back of our hands
touched.
Hayward's felt cold. Whatever
had been fancy and wrong perspec-
tive before, this was the truth. His
blood wasn't in his hands, as it
should have been. Evidently it had
all gone up to his brain, playing
strange tricks with it.
Ahmad bowed to US as he passed.
"Good Lordr' Hayward breathed.
II wasn't looking for that wretch"
HE was just coming in from one
of his walks"
"Those walks of his! Why don't
Southley forbid 'em? | will if he
don't I'll be damned if I'll have
him walking through those jungles
and creeping up on us this way"
Creeping up on u.s." echoed.
What way"
Besides, what would man want
to walk around in those jungles
for?" he went on, unheeding me.
"Tell me that?' Then his voice
changed-dropped tone by tone un-
til it was almost whisper. "And
tell me this. too, Long-and tell me
the truth
"Yes,"
"Did-did you see anything curl
Gus about-about Ahmad's posture
as he came up the hill? Of course,
it was probably just the moonlight
yet there was something puzzling
about it,
'Tll confess didn't recognize
him at once"
"That isn't it. That isn't quite it.
Long. Oh. the devil! It's nom
sense, anyway"
We walked up to the veranda and
halted for an instant on the steps
for last look over the marsh.
There was ring around the moon
that promised rain. We listened to
the night birds and the noise of the
insect world, like the strum of a
banjo infinitely remote, above the
drear, gray wastes. Then Hayward
touched my arm.
'If you'd go in. Long. and look at
Ahmad's hands," he told me. you'd
find 'em with mud on 'em.
"Why. Mr. Hayward"
Because he was crawling up that
hiii-on hands and feet!'
Then his face grew into scowl,
and he entered the house,
had pipe by myself after he
had gone. At first I thought about
what he had said. But it didn't
make particularly good sense. 1t
was true that Hayward didn't like
the Indian, yet this would have
scarcely led to an accusation so BIZ
zarre. The glare with which Hay
wards eyes followed him when the
servant worked about the rooms
was little short of deadly had OBJ
served it too many times to be mis-
taken. Orders he gave were always
in the most insulting tone. II
seemed to me just an unjustified
aversion, and the taste of the thing
was open to question.
There was a tehseness, a heavi-
ness, in the air. 1t was obviously
the calm before one of those blind
ing, crashing Floridian thunder
storms.
I thought I had better warn the
occupants of the house. There
might be windows to close, or other
