 | Ruthie Cassidy got up from where she was sitting by the win | dow. She had sheet of paper l and pencil with which she had | finished sketch for Gale to inspect. "See". she said proudly, II been maxim picture!"
 The sketch showed something that might have been a house. There were windows and a door, rather disproportionate, and on | top a roof with a chimney from which smoke was issuing. Yes, there was even garden in front of the house with a flower, almost as tall as the dwelling itself, bloom ing in the foreground. l "Now, Ruthie, run along" her mother said harshly. Don't both CT Gale with your nonsense. The poor girls near at her wits l end"
 Its very fne," Gale told the child gently. "I'didn't know you could make such nice pictures"
 Want to see me make one?" | "Not now. I'd like to watch you some other time.' Gale turned again to Mary. Father hasn't heard anythlng?" l 'No. I told himI thought Phil went out when you did this morn- ing. l had to make up somethin', God forgive me-"
 "Yes, of course"
 "You poor lamb! I know you dread tellin' him about it." l Gale said, "Yes, but there's no use putting it off," She went back into the living room. All day she had been dreading the moment when she must tell her father about the shooting and Phirs part in it. .. l The ordeal proved easier than ! she had expected. Tom Henderson listened, asked a few questions. When Gale had finished he said, Phil didn't mean to do any wrong know that"
 "He didn't do it, Father! He didn't!"
 Tom Henderson shook his head. "No," he said, II don't think he did. And if the boys innocent there must be way to prove it. You say steve's gone to see law yer?"
 He's going tonight. He said he'd stop here afterward." Tom Henderson took his daugh- ter's hand. He said almost the same words Steve had used. 'Try | not to worry, Gale. It cant do any good and you'll only get yourself worked up. We'll find some way to help Phil" Gale turned so that he could not SC that her eyes were moist She | said. ''Yes, Father" For an in- stant the two hands claspcd firm ly.. Then Gale said, 'Td better go help Mary"
 Her father had certainly taken the news better than she had ex- pected. Gale was surprised. It | was after the eveningb meal when she was wiping the dishes as Mary | washed them that Mary said, Your father don't look so good. do you think so?" rather tired"
 Mary nodded. Looks sort of peekd," she went on. II mo- ticed it when he frs tcome to the table. I don't believe all that read in he does is good for him. Sits there all day with his nose in a book. And he didn't eat nothin'-- hardly nothin. But when you didn't eat more than mouthful yourself"
 T wasn't hungry" You ought to eat just the same. A body cant keep goin' less they eat"
 Gale did not answer. Her eyes were on the clock on the shelf pose it's too early to look for Steve yet"
 Did he say when he'd comep' "No. Just said he'd stop in after he'd seen the lawyer"
 Mary soaped the dishcloth and washed a plate. Lawyers. she said. "cost money" "I don't care about that. I'll work-I'll find some way to pay if only he didn't do it. Mary! He didn't have anything at all to do with 1t. The whole thing was framed-!"
 T know! I know!" Mary had heard all that before. She washed another dish. II don't say I be- lieve it." she went on. but think you oughta know what they're snyin'. They're sayin' Phil and Ed Vogel was fightin' over that no- count Ruby Griffith. They say there'd been trouble between 'em before. I was down to the grocery this mornin' and heard Sam Wat son shootin' off his mouth about 1t. I told him they wasn't a word of truth in it!"
 Gale said. "Yes, I know. I heard the same thing at the mill. It isn't true, but that doesn't help Phil any. Everybody seems to he against him. Everybody seems to believe"
 A knock on the living room door interrupted. Gale put down the dish she was wiping and said, Maybe that's steve!' She hurried to open the door.
