I lust ignored her. They saw how she looked when all those things came out at the inquest about his being a gambler. They could see she was simply disgusted that I should have permitted our name to be dragged into such an affair. ! "Bue we hadn't had any fights over him, Tod. She said what she thought in that bitter, ironical way of hers - and I did as l pleased. The night he - he was killed and we had had the scene in the inn = the night you said I was with you, Tod - I saw her walking home through Echo Grove. It was while was sitting there in the woods trying to stop crying after Herbert left me.
 T was so surprised because I've never known her to get out walking at that time of night. But didn't dare stop her. She would have wanted to know why I was there, and so I just waited until she had time to reach home and then l followed along.
 But I think we understood one another pretty well. And we loved one another, too. But people do stare at me. I know that they're wondering if T."
 Don't say 1t, Jeanie darling."/
 They were so close to shore now that 1t didn't seem possible they couldn't see me there sitting on the dock, but they were too engrossed to even see teh moon.
 T don't suppose people mean to be unkind. They're just curious" {" she said. Like Mrs. O'Connor."
 I nearly fell in the water at that one. What had Maudie done now, I wondered Tod wondered, too for he asked Jeanie and she explained.
 "Oh,. she came over to the house this morning. I happened to go out in the garden and she and Liza Holmes were deep in conversation. When they saw me they hushed up. I mean they changed the subject: you can always tell when people do that. And then Mrs. OConnor was so charming. But I know she and Liza were talking about something they didn't want me to hear"

 Well, maybe I am upset more because Liza was talking to. her. Liza's the only one have left, Tod. I'd be completely alone without her, and somehow I never thought I'd have to question her loyalty. I never thought shed be talking to stranger about me"
 "You don't know that she was, Jeanie. Liza is loyal, She'd be cut in little pieces for you. And don't feel she's the only one you have left. She isn't--because I'm here, dearest. I know it's been long time since I used to play croquet on Sunday afternoon with you, and we haven't seen each other often these past few years, but I'm back home now, Jeanie, and when you want me"
 Well, I left them, moving Tn Vllu shadow of the trees as quietly as I could so that I wouldn't disturb them. wanted to see Maudie and find out why she'd been talking SO secretly to Liza Holmes.

CHAPTER XVII

The time certainly didn't drag that day, probably because Denny had to leave late that afternoon. He'd checked with the state police and returned with the news that they are still getting nowhere as far as the Morris staying was concerned.
 We didn't have much time to- gether, but I could see that his visit had lifted Maudie's spirits. She had that knowing look in her eyes and when 1t was time for him to leave she kissed him on the cheek and then pushed the two of Sis to the back door,
 "ItS @ relief to see you two making calf-eyes at each other again. hope, Denny Flynn, that youll use some of that Irish charm this time and save Mary from a life as an old maid school teacher"

TO Indians S Death
In Adirondacks

OLD FORGE, N. Y, Oct. %. up
-Four veteran Adirondack guides
met recently on the shores of Old
Forge lake to show Webb town
officials the exact location of the
grave of Peter Waters, the last
Indian killed in the mountains
Waters. SO the story goes, imbibed
too much fireWater one fall day
in 1888 and started an argument
with Nat Foster, hero of many Adir-
ondack and Mohawk valley tales.
The Indian sWore to kill Foster on
sight.
The next morning Foster started
to his trap line along the shores OF
First Lake of the Fulton Chain, the
Indian followed him. Foster hid
behind a boulder and Shot Waters.
The Indian was buried at Old
Forge and for years the grave WAS
tended by natives of the little vii
lage. In 1892 a railroad was built
through the Central Adirondacks
and the influx of visitors gave vii
layers something else to think about.
Sand soon covered the grave and
it was lost.
The guides, Emmett Marks. IS.
Phillip Cristy 80; Dennis F'raula,
81, and Ira Parsons, 81, all residents
of Old Forge before the railroad
was put through, unearthed two
markers showing the site of Waters
grave.
P. w. Burdick, Webb supervisor,
said a suitable plaque and head
stone soon would mark the final
resting spot of the last Indian kill
ed in the AdirondackS.
