He saw a crowd of men who were
carrying an injured man in.
''They laid him on the table and
went out, leaving the doctor and his
wife, trained nurse, there"
John stopped and smiled.
This Is only summary Of what
the man told me-" he said. This
whole thing made tremendous i'm
preston on him, sort of his big mo-
ment.
But from his manner and appear
ance I felt sure that what he was say
ing was true, even though he talked
around and around the bush, and In
sisted on telling how he felt, and
what he felt, and all that sort Of
thing.
"He was evidently an honest man,
and one to be believed. And he
seemed very glad to be able to tell
the whole story to some one" John
blushed again. II guess he could tell
that I was pretty much interested
from the way acted, and from the
fact that I had the picture-and
everything"
I'm sure he could" Judge Kellogg
interjected. But suppose you'd bet

Tecla was eyeing her, bewtldered.

"Aunt Tecla, I'm proud to be Of

"Of course" she agreed, and as
Tecla started to back away she caught
her arm. Remember, Tecla, you're

There were apologies from the
States prosecutor which Anne quickly
stilled. "You were doing your duty"
she said.
And then, seated, she listened to
John tell his part.
II thought from the beginning" he
said, that the will was queer. It

He was good judge Of human nature.
couldn't understand his placing such
trust in Crocker and Farley. Yet
every bit of evidence seemed to point
out that he had.
Shortly before I left for the
Alaskan trip Miss Anne gave me an
idea Of what had caused the change
In the will. She said that luke Farms
worth had hurried down here with
out letting Crocker know what he
was doing or where he was going.
then, upon finding Crocker here, he
had hurried back to Portland. first
making sure that Crocker would stay.
And then, while in Alaska, by
pure coincidence, ran into sailor
who had happened to overhear part
of the will as Farnsworth was die
tating it to the Westport attorney.
1T happened this way. l." he hesi-
tated, and his face burned to a rich
mahogany hue. Il carried a news
paper picture Of Miss Farnsworth in
my wallet.
II happened to have 1t out one
evening. The wind whisked 1t out OF
my hand and this sailor caught 1t
for me.
He looked at 1t before returning 1t;
then. instead of kidding me, he be-
came confidential; asked me If I knew
Miss Farnsworth we'll. and said he
knew something he felt he shoule
tell, but hadn't told because he wa
afraid of getting into trouble.
He had shipped on lumber boat
which tied up at Westport. They's
been at sea quite while. and upor
getting into port he'd gone out witt
his crowd for liquid cheer.
He got too drunk to get bacl
aboard so his companions had de

Strangely, Farley said nothing at

There was q change in Charlotte,
although Anne had no time to OBJ
serve it. Charlotte's fury when Kel.
logg took charge had maintained it
self at white heat through all that
followed.
But when she realized that at last
the game was off, when her fellow
plotter was led away, her sneer was
replaced by curiously sour smile.
She rose, as II to press through the
crowd to Anne. But the crush was
too great, and perhaps she had not
