The emphasis on the word says" was unmistakable and Peggy looked at her guest curiously
 T am stupid, perhaps" she admit ted slowly, Exactly what do you mean, MT. Evans?"
 Evans cleared his throat.
 Ben told you and Jim he saw you drop the envelope and picked it up right away" he began again with more hesitation. He declared he returned it just as he found it.; therefore the envelope must have been empty when you dropped it."
 Peggy sprang to her feet, her eyes blazing accuse me of opening your letter and taking it out, let ter written by Commander Sinclair. a man I've never seen in my life-a man I never heard of"
 Until he was mentioned in your uncles will as his heir in your place, 5 put in Obadiah softly, unmoved by ner not anger.
 Peggy swallowedshard; she was so infuriated that she was on the verge of tears.
 My successor" she admitted, con- trolling her voice by an effort, pro vlded I fail to carry out the stipu- lations mentioned in Uncle Herbert's will. But I am golilg to carry them cut, and don't you forget itl"
 "Gcodl" Obadiah's comment but added fuel to her wrath. How dare he sit there and commend her so complacently!
 q play fair" she went on. T give you my solemn word I took that let ter back to you unopened and un- read"
 There was seconds pause.
 T believe you"
 Looking up Peggy saw Obadiah's expression had softened, he was even smiling.
 You sure do sail down a fel- iow's throat he said, dryly. Now, 'spose you give me chance to ex- plain.'
 "What?" swiftly "Your relations with Commander Sinclair?"
 They are nothing out of the or dinary," acknowledged Obadiah, in no way excited by her belligerent tone And getting letter from him isn't an unheard-of occurrence. But, Miss Prescott" holding up his hand IS she would have interrupted him the strange part is that any one should have taken the letter from the envelope. Was it sealed?"
 "Yes."
 Obadiah sat back.
 Ben never was great on sticking 70 the absolute truth; little leeway -uits him better" he said, slowly. Time may have gone by before he picked up the envelope; some one slse may have found it in the inter- val and taken out the letter, leaving .he empty envelope"

Chapter 21
RosSWoSDs

What was the significance of the underscored phrases in the Bible and the gold coin?
 The thud of the brass knocker on the front door broke into Peggy 5 thoughts and she caught her breath while the blood raced back to her heart.
 Who could be calling at this hour of night?
 She showed the big Bible aside and went to the bottom of the stairs and called Julia. Her only answer was the sound of snoring Coming through the maids open bedroom door
 Gathering courage Peggy went to the. dcor. She had had a night latch and chain placed on the door and did not remove the chain when she opened the door and peered through the crack.
 "It's only me, Obadiah Evans. This aint exactly the time for a social call, Miss Prescott, but I was passin' and saw your light going and stopped to inquire for you"
 Come in; I am delighted to see you
 Peggy released the chain and flung wide the door
 T was commencing to think you and Jim had forgotten my exis- tence."
 Don't ever think that" responded Obadiah, his cordial words empha- sized by a final shake of her hand before he released it. "Jims been considerably upset"
 "Why?"
 Cause of Ben Why in heck that boy had to come down with small pox just now is beyond my under standing-and Jim so anxious to see him.
 AWhat's Jim thinking about?' Peggy inquired.
 You" tersely, and the carmine spread even to Peggy's brows. Jim trying to find out, what became oi the contents of the envelope Ben says he picked up empty

wouldn't the court consider that

Wouldn't the court consider that hearsay evidence?"
 IT don't know" Peggy hesitated in growing doubt. "The executor. MT Chase, never made any suggestione in the matter-this was my owr idea"
 l In turn Obadiah hesitated. T ain't very well acquainted with the law he acknowledged, stroking his chir reflectively He paused Maybe Mir Chase has made his own arrange ments about proving the length ol time you are absent each day"
 "How?" quickly.
 He may be employing some one to keep tab" dial h glanced around the room and then back al her-"Your maid"
 "Oh, but that's spying-and Julia would not stoop to that" cut in Peg gy. She is just a darky-but she's faithful"
 Sure" he agreed heartily. But Chase, in getting to watch your go- ing and coming, would be protecting your interests; don't you see that?'
 Peggy shook her head dubiously as she accompanied him to the front door and lent hand as he struggled into his overcoat. She echoed his friendly and subdued good night, then, locking the door and replacing the night chain, she made the round of the living room, switching off Lights. Then she hobbled up to bed.

That's true" agreed Peggy, her relief manifest at such a suggestion; then her face cloudel over. But fl Ben didn't see me drop the letter why did he bring t to me when it was addressed to you?"
 "Danged if that isn't right Oba-
 diah eyed her with growing re- spect; the girl had brains as well as pluck. Where did you last see that envelope before losing it?'
 When l put it in my bag" she replied promptly. The bag probably came open when I fell getting over your stone wall. I must have broken the hasp thenn
 That was in the lower pasture?"
 Peggy nodded an affirmative. { "P'raps Ben saw you fall"
 Very likely. MT. Chase was in the lane and came to my assistance
 they may have been together Peg gy spoke rapidly, dispointedly, her
 thoughts moving swiftly. "Oh, now l recall that MT. Chase in bringing mo home, left Ben at the lower gate and told him to wait there until he returned-that was only a stones throw from where I fell From the lane Ben could have seen the white envelope on the ground, Sure, he could have" agre d Obadiah. He bent closer. Did you notice any one else hanging round in the woods?" Then, as she knitted her brows in thought: "Sundown, perhaps?"
 T saw no one," she declared, after a pause. She glanced up. I wouldn't know Shutdown, for we have never met"
 You haven't missed much" Oba- diah's eyes strayed to the clock. 50 the halfbreed's never been here. l wonder why?"
 Peggy shrugged her shoulders.
 Ask me something easy" she sug- gested, rising as Obadiah got to his feet. i've been several times to Sundowns camp, but he's never at home"
 Keep away from him Obadiah spoke with authority and Peggy regarded him in surprise. Above all, Miss Prescott, don't let the half-breed in unless Julia's here or some one else. He's not just the caller for a young girl to receive alone"
 MT. Chase spoke vrey kindly of him" she objected, although inn pressed by Obadiah's seriousness. MT. Chase don't know him as I do," quickly. And besides he's giv- en to thinking good of all men-and women" with a smile which quickly faded. Promise me you won't go to Sundown's camp unless with MT Chase, or Jim, or me "Why-if you ask it, certainly. ' But Peggy showed her disappoint- ment. There are so few places can go, MT. Evans, within the hours restriction Uncle Herbert placed On my absence daily"
 That's true" looking at her sym pathetically. Say, how's one ta know how long you are absent?"
 "Oh, keep log"-pointing to the desk where ledger lay spread open at one end Every time I leave and return it is entered here"

BRIDGE FOR A DIME
 BUT MUST MOVE IT

HOUSTON, Tex, March 27.-Roderick J. Watts, a re- porter, owns a 100,000-pound bridge that cost him a dime.
 The bridge, spanning Buff falo bayou in an exclusive residential district, hasn't been used since 1920. Watts decided it should be re- moved.
 City Commissioners would make no promises, so Watts in a rash moment offered Mayor Oscar F. Holcombe 10 cents for the structure. The Mayor accepted.
 Watts has gone into a huddle with junk dealers for with his title went the stipulation that the bridge must be removed in 90 days.
