The story continues:

Artie, gratified at seeing he had
created a sensation, beamed broadly.
"'Course amt permitted to di-
vulge messages that go through my
hands. They're confidential. But for
that I could tell you somethin' that
would make your eyes pop outer their
sockets"
"Somethin' about Heath?"
"Somethin' he said in a telegram"
Elisha had an inspiration.
"S'pose was to ask you oficially?"
he suggested. "S'pose it's important
for me to know what was in that mes
sage? S'pose demanded you tell me
in the name of the law? I'm askin'
you as sheriff of the town of Wilton"
ooh, that's different. The wire was
just sent to friend The part that as
tonished me was it's beginnin'. 1t ran
somethin' like this:
Safe on Cape with my lady. Shall
return with her later"
What interested me-" droned Artie,
'Was who this lady could be. Heath,
apparently, is a married man. What
business has he taggin' after some Will
ton woman an totin' her back to New
York with him when he goes?"
"He amt got no business dom it"
Eleazer shouted. "He's blackguard
that's what he is! But don't you
worry Artie. He amt goin to put
no such scurvy trick over on any Will
ton woman Me an 'Lish'll see to that.
How much more tinkerin' have you got
to do on them trinkets, Pete? The
sheriff an me is in hurry to get
home.'

"Thatll mean we won't fetch up at

THE STORY

Marcia despite her unfortunate ma
trirnonial experience, finds pleasure in
her daily life, but is lonely at times,
and has invited her late husbands
niece, Sylvia Hayden, whom she has
never seen, to visit her. The girl ar
rives and Marcia takes to her at once,
while Sylvia, expecting to see some
what elderly aunt, finds Marcia more
like sister.
Into the uneventful, happy lives OF
the two women comes adventure. A
stranger, on the verge of exhaustion,
finds his way to Marcia's home. Cared
for, he explains that his power boat
ran aground in the fog. His wrist is
injured. Secretly, he asks Marcia to
hide package containing jeWelry
which she does. The doctor comes, with
Elisha Winslow, town sheriff, bringing
the news of jewel robbery on neigh
boring Long Island estate. The stran-
ger, Hospitality put to bed, gives his
name as Stanley Heath.
Unable to write because of his in
jured wrist, Heath has Marcia "Mrs.
s. G. Heath. He also wires orders to
man named Currier to come at once.
| Sylvia in her room, bedecks herself
with the jewels At Marcia's approach,
she hides them there. Heath asks Mar
cha to bring him the jewels. They are
gone! Terror stricken, she informs
Heath. Later, Sylvia restores them to
their original hiding place.
Eleazer Croker brings telegram
for Heath. Sylvia being away he deems
it an opportune time to "pop the ques-
ton" to Marcia, but her thoughts are
busy with her stranger guest. Elisha
Winslow, arriving with the news Of a
fire in the village, sends Eleazer hastily
home. Elisha, by accident, discovers
the jewels and has no doubt they are
the stolen gems, and that Heath is
the thief. Saying nothing to Marcia
but replacing the jewels, he returns to
the village to make plans, with Eleazer
for arresting Heath.

CHAPTER VII

Dawn was breaking over Wilton
when a trim motor car, bearing New
York number plate, slipped quietly
into the village and drew up at the
town garage.
From it stepped a man, small and
somewhat bent. MAY I leave my car
here?" he inquired of the lad who was
sweeping out the building.
"Sure!'
"Fill her up for me, please. And
you might clean her a bit"
Been riding all night?"
The stranger nodded.
II like travelling at night" he vol
unteered. LESS traffic. Can you tell
me where Mr.. Heath is staying?"
Heath? The chap who ran aground
on the Croker Cove sand bar? He's
over to The Widder's."
where's that?"
"The Widder lives out yonder at the
Homestead"
"How does one get there?"
oval, the only way to reach the
house when the tides full, as tits now,
is to row."
"Wherell find a boat?"
"That I couldn't say. The Widder
keeps hers t'other side of the channel
Mebbe, though, if you was to go down
to the beach some fisherman would
give you a lift across. Most any of em
would admire to if you're a friend
of Marcia Howe's"
The stranger bowed but offered no
comment. If curiosity stirred within
him concerning the information the
lad vouchsafed, at least he gave no
sign.
THANK you," he replied briefly. "Will
this road take me to the beach?"
Straight as an arrow"
Without wasting additional words OF
time, the stranger nodded and started
off briskly in the direction Indicated
When he reached the beach he halted
scanning eagerly the silvered house be-
yond the channel. Discovering no one
in sight, he dragged from the shore a
yellow dory clambered into it, and
catching up the oars began to row
toward the dwelling silhouetted against
the water and the glory of the morning
sky.
In the meantime, both Marcia and
Sylvia had wakened early and were
astir.
The kitchen fire was already snap
ming merrily in the stove, however
and the table was spread before the
latter made her appearance.
She came in, carrying a thick en-
velope.
"Why, Sylvia, how you startled me!'
Marcia exclaimed. II did not hear you
come down stairs. Why are you up SO
early?"
"I'm going to town to catch the
morning mail I have to get off this
letter."
"Have to?"
"Yes-to Hortie. You see, if I didn't
answer promptly he might think the
candy had gone astray," explained the
girl.
ooh, of course, you must thank him
for the candy" Marcia agreed. "still
is it necessary to do SO in such rush
to walk to the village this morning?"

how anybody had the chance to take
them. No one knew they were there"
would you be willing to show me
where they were hidden and allow me
to investigated"
Certainly. I'll take you downstairs
now, while we have the opportunity.
When do you start back?"
"That is for Mr.. Heath to decide"
Fright off AS soon as you can get
under way" Stanley Heath said de-
cisively. Go down now with Mrs. Howe
since she is so gracious, and have your
breakfast. Examine, too, the place
where we concealed the jewel case.
You may discover clew she has
missed"
Preceding Currier into the kitchen,
Marcia went straight to the hearth
and pointed to the brick at her feet.
"It was here we put the jewel case,'
she said.
Il think, with your permission, will
take up the brick" the little man at
her elbow quietly announced.
Certainly" acquiesced Marcia.
Taking out his knife, Currier knelt
and soon had the brick out of it's
hole.
Beneath it lay the jewel case,
wrapped as before in Stanley Heath's
monogrammed handkerchief.
Marcia could not believe her eyes.

"Mebbe," Eleazer grumbled. "Still,
I'm disappointed. WAL that bein' the
case, s'pose you an me step over to

round an do them errands we mem
toned"
Elisha agreed.
A faint flush had crept back into

their light of hope.
