 "Well?" questioned Obadiah, lean- ing forward in his eagerness. Go on"
 Ed hinted that Shutdown might make it unpleasant for Miss Pres cott."

 That Shutdown might attempt to drive Miss Prescott away by terrorizing her" went on Chase, somewhat startled by Obadiah's marked agitation Then the half breed could continue to live on Blind Mans Bluff unmolested.'
 Ed feared Shutdown" Chase said with emphasis. Why don't know, but I heard linn screaming his name down by the brook and if ever saw deadly terror in any countenance, it was stamped on Eds face when I ran up to him."
 Do you suppose Ed was hunting Shutdown when he visited Yew Lodge last nigh p Chase asked.
 Tt might be- But if Stanton was so afraid, I'm thir,!lng the neighbcrhood of Blind Mans Bluff would be the last place he would go unless he was armed. Was he?'
 T can't say for sure.' ! Chase drew a leather holster from his pocket and handed it to Obadiah.

Hoover Leads Curious
 Merry Race on Sundays

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - Presi- dent Hoover is proving an elusive quarry for those who wait around the White House Sunday mornings in order to follow him to church
 While usually attending the little Quaker meeting house, the Presi- dent sometimes alters his program. Then the string of cars which often follows in the wake of the presiden- tial party dashes madly along in an effort to keep up when it is found it is headed in new di- rection. '
 Traffic officers wave the Presi- dents party ahead, but the luckless followers are held back until often they lose the trail entirely. i'' ';
 Twice of late the President has chosen new places of worship. Once it was Sunday school in Maryland where he had gone on a weekend fishing trip. Another time it was the historic old Presbyterian church which Abraham Lincoln used to attend e e }fsea A"'S l'ii rt

As the gray car sped along th1 Milton road on it's trip to Litch- field Obadiah Evans waved to Jim sitting behind the wheel. s"Fill her up with gas," he bel lowed, using his hands for a mega phone, and Jim's answering "All right" came faintly to him.
 Obadiah watched the red tail light until it disappeared behind a curve in the road and then he went Slowly back to his house. Passing by the front door he continued around to the rear porch and made himself comfortable in his favoritt chair, propping his feet up on the porch railing.
 Obadiah's head was nodding on his chest as he dozed off every now and then, when the knocker on his front door came down on the W0od- en panel with a resounding knock He went to the door
 s"Well, well, MT. Chase Come in- side" and Obadiah held the door open.

 Rising, Obadiah crossed to a high-boy and pulled open a top drawer. From among the fishing tackle and odds and ends of hunt ing articles there, he extracted an- ether leather holster-empty like wise.
 With movement so swift that Chase failed to see the second hol- ster, Obadiah had thrust it back and closed the drawer.
