Jenny's disclosure for a moment
hushed them all. Marin Pierce was
the first to speak.
"Whew" she exclaimed. II de-
clare, it's hot as love in hay time,

Bart opened the door into the shed,
to admit some air. The shed was

a black screen behind which anything
might hide.
The sheriff crossed his feet and sat
In deep embarrassment. His shoes
scraped on the floor; and Marin Pierce
said:

The lamps here were all In order;
but when she opened the door into the
dining-room where Hubby lay. a reek
of SCOT and smoke emerged. The old
woman hustled in there, complaining,
scolding the absent Joe Matthews.

things" she protested. She brought
out the lamp, its chimney black. HE

clared; and replaced 1t with another

How do you mean, you didn't

pIexity.

STRATO RECORD rs
LIKELY TO STAND

United States army stratosphere
flight of November IL, recently de-
termined by National Bureau of
Standards celebration of the sealed

probably stand for some time.
1t is higher by not quite a mile
than the unofficial figure for the i'll
fated Soviet balloon of 1894 that
crashed in landing with fatal result
to its crew of three. 1t is more than
two miles (11.158 feet) higher than
the official record set In 1888 by the
Settle-Fordney American flight. the
official mark of which was 81, 236.691

observations do not often reach
higher than the new record for man

balloons that do not carry anything
out themselves aloft, often go higher
than the new worlds record. The
American record for these sounding
balloons dates from 1913 and is 20

about these records, as there are
theoretical reasons for doubling

SYNOPSIS

At a gathering in the village of Lib
erty. Maine, Jim Saladine listens to the
history of the neighboring Hostile VAL
ley. and the mysterious, enticing Hull
dy," wife of Will Ferrin. Interested.
he drives to the Valley for days
fishing, and to see the glamorous Hubby
Perrin. 'Old Marin Pierce and her
nineteen-year-old granddaughter Jenny
live in the Valley. Since childhood
Jenny has deeply loved young Will
Ferrin, older than she, and who re-
CARDS her as still child. Learning
that Will, who has been working in
another neighborhood. is coming home.
Jenny exulting, sets his long-empty
house ito rights" and has dinner ready
for him. He comes-bringing his wife,
Hubby. The girls world collapses. En-
tering his home unlocked for, VIII
finds seemingly damning evidence OF
his wife's unfaithfulness as a man he
knows is Seth Humphreys breaks from
the house. Will overtakes him and
chokes him to death, although Hum
phreys skaters his leg with bullet.
At Marin Pierce's house the leg is am
putated. Hubby declares she has no
use for half man." and leaves him.
Will is legally exonerated, and with
homemade artificial leg carries on"
hiring a helper. Zeke Dace. Months
later Hubby comes back. Will accepts
her presence as her right. Two years
go by. Saladine comes to the Valley.
Caught in heavy rain, he takes refuge
at Marin Pierce's Bart Carey. a neigh
Dor, arrives. carrying Hubby. whom he
claims had fallen from a ledge, and
seemingly. is dead. While Hubby and
Jenny are alone, the woman, with her
last breath, asserts Will killed her.
Horrifed, Jenny decides to tell no one
of the accusation. She goes to notify
Will. With him Jenny returns to Marin
Pierce's. Zeke Dace cannot be found.
Saladine informs Sheriff Sohier, by
phone, OF Huldy's death. The sheriff
comes to Marin Pierce's farm. Bart ex-
plains how he found Hubby, after her
fall, dead, as he supposed. Jenny re-
veals the fact that Hubby had accused
Will of causing her death.

WILL" he said gravely. my Job is
tated. and silence waited on him. "The
law is that If a person is dying. and
says something, you've got to take IL
for true, less'n there's proof to the
contrary. That's one thingi Then If
Hubby did have banged place on her
face. it's likely someone did hit her
And you was down to the ledge, look
ing for her, by your own tell"
He added, in an apologize tone:
"S'pose you did find her down there,
and she started talking about Jenny?
guess If she got you mad enough. you
might hit her, Will. Same as any man."
viii answered him. Il didn't,
Sheriff." he said.
Sohier was uncomfortable. 81 don't
knows you did, WILL" he agreed.
but I've got to go on her say-so. I'll
take 1t as favor if you was to come
along back to East Harbor with me-"
Jenny felt her spine cold with fear:
but Wills eyes were firm. He said at
last: Il can see how yo're placed,
Sheriff. Only-nor knowing where
Zeke is, or whether he'll come home or
not, I'd have to get someone to do my
chores for me-"
Bart cried: Don't worry about that,
Will! I'll tend to things. If the
sheriff's so blamed dumb!"
But Jenny, coming close to Will,
said: If you go, viii, I'm going TOO!
I'm not ever going to leave you now!"
Then Marin Pierce spoke, in her
shrill tones, still angrily. Il declare"
she exclaimed, and stamped her foot.
For fools, give me men every time!
If you ask me, Huldy's better dead,
and everybody else is better off with
her dead, too. No sense in making
such a fuss about it. But Win didn't
kill her!"
Then who did, ma'am" the sheriff
asked, reasonably.
why, I'll tell you," said the old
woman. "If yo're too blind to see"

CHAPTER IX-Continued

Then Jenny faced the sheriff stead
lily and she said: Mis- Ferrin looked
at me. and her mouth twisted into a
kind of laugh, and she said some
thing"
And the girl went on: "First off,
couldn't hear her. She was awful
weak, and leaned down and said to
her. It's all right. Mis- Ferrinr And
she laughed at me. l mean her
mouth twisted as if she was trying
to! And this time heard what she
said"
Marin Pierce exploded in a fierce

And Jenny answered.: "She said !

fessed. $50 l just tried to tell her
it was all right, and l told her Will
was coming"
Her tones shook, then steadied.
And then she said it," she CON
cluded. She said, kind of slow and
weak: Will knocked me Off And
she had to wait minute, and then
she said: He hit mel"
The girl was silent for an instant
before she could go on.
Her mouth was still kind of laugh
ing" she finished. "And she sort of
coughed. l guess that was when she
died" A deep tremor shook her, but
her voice was firm. "She laid there,
looking at me, and her mouth grinning
at me; but l guess she was dead by
then. Anyway, she didn't say any
more"
She finished and was still, waiting.
And suddenly she was very tired,
dreading what was to come.
