Joan did not speak What could she
say? That her heart ached for his

Exile for friendship and love.

seeing her today was like seeing

How long had Angela been
waiting there in the doorway?
Her broad face was sullen, though
no more than usual. It gave nc
information. Most lonely folk
are inquisitive, yet she, this morn
ing, had appeared the reverse OF
that. More angered at his own
folly than at her curiosity, Jerry
flung the required cash on the
counter and went out.
He started to cross to the hotel;
but he did not go far forward. In
too close talk as yet to notice him
Twombley stood on the hotel
porch-with Rose Walker.
$50 she's in this, too-she!"
A fellow has no right to be jea-
lous of a girl whom he has known
for less than twenty-four hours
But a fellow often is.
Strangling an impulse to pass
the pair and proceed with high
dignity to his own room, he sum
moned prudence. He believed
that too much of what he Sus-
pected was already known to un-
desirable people.
The broker and the postmis-
tress were probably engaged in
their conversation thinking he was
still out for his announced walk.
Jerry decided upon playing the
game. Let them think them
selves safe here. The detectives
power is proportionate to his sus-
poets ignorance.
Still unobserved, Jerry retreat
ed to make a wide circle of the
hotel. He had half completed it
when>a new idea came to him:
I'm missing a break in Angie
Sims defense trenches if she
has something to defend. She lis
tens in on my telephoning; I can
look in on her shack. She thinks
she's so wise to stick to the store;
here's my chance"
He wouldn't risk the road. He
kept to the woods for a wide de-
tour to the lakeland.
Days gradual decline had stir
red the birds to final efforts They
sang, but he didn't listen. He
stumbled over fallen logs-into
gulleys-blundered among thorns
and didn't care.
He said he didn't anyhow; said
he didn't care for anything except
proving Lightner a fool to trust
Sam Steinhardt's judgment.
He said so for fifteen minutes
twenty.
And so he came, quite suddenly,
upon the barren sweep of coun-
try he had sought.
He was among the last of those
pines near that fatal cliff edge
and thus not far from the shanty.
Surrounded by its ailing kitchen
garden, it stood in full view. But

I'd give my show away. Still,
ought I to?"
What followed raised no furth-
er fear to the unfair attack being
resumed. Atiptoe Jerry ran across
the bare land and through. the
kitchen garden. He put an eye
to the keyhole-darkness An ear
and he heard:
"Don't tempt me any more. I
near squeezed your throat for you
when you had your back to me a
minute ago."
II knew it; but I can take care
of myself. Well, you can't say
anybody can see us now, Mr.. B.

Crisp paper rustled. cts all
you'll get till the deals closed
and some real money begins to
come in"
you're mistaken there"
'This is all I've got in cash, any
how"
"I'll count it."
| A light was struck. A lantern
was lighted.
Eye again to keyhole, Jerry
saw into the hut, but the aper-
ture was small and his range of
vision included only three hands.
One, which terminated in brown
sleeve, passed over a roll of new
bills. The other two clutched the
money.
"Then I'll CO."
"Wait till I've counted"
Jerry had felt himself upon the
threshold of revelation. Now he
knew that he had tarried too
long in his progress thither. He
couldn't Oxford to be seen. Twom-
bley's hand descended to the
knob; Jerry jumped away.
He uncompromisingly ran for
the pine clump. He was well ad-
vised, too; no sooner had he reach
ed it than, looking backward, he
saw the shanty's door open and
Twombley emerge.
| Jerry stopped dead in the pro-
lection of a tree. He peeped a
round its trunk till he observed
the broker fully started on a lei
surely stroll in the direction OF
the turnpike.
Then, having skirted the cliff
edge, Jerry made what haste he
could along a course parallel to
that distant highway. He must
abandon the detour through the
woods; it was too roundabout.
He preferred to reach Ironburg
ahead of his hotelmate, so that
the latter would suppose the an
nounced walk to and from A
mericanus had ended at normal
hour.
To be sure, Angie might have
told of his appearance at the
store, but there was chance e.
nough that her mysterious dis
like of Twombley had Withheld
this information; therefore, as
soon as Jerry thought this hurry
had given him sufficient leeWay,
he struck across country to the
pike and hurried on to the vii
lage.
AS he assembled the hotels steps,
Hassler came out. Jerry careless
ly inquired for Twombley. He
hadn't yet returned.
"Beat him to it," Glidden's
thought assured him. I'm ex-
pecting a telegram" said he "a

Jerry didn't care to see Rose
but he wanted MacDowelps ans

road.
Shadows filled the store. It
was a relief that the place should
seem again INTENDED, especially
as. at the center of the counter,
