"W hen?” asked Cooper, the clothing

"On my Inst trip to this forlorn

"And that was?"—
“ I.nst April. It's a short story. Want
to hear about It?”
"Yes, go ahead.” urged the third
member of the group, Joel Gifford,
who represented a great wholesale
grocery house. He was a tall, good
looking, quiet sort of man, well liked
everywhere. There had been a trag
edy in his life which many had guess
ed at, but few knew the real facts in
the case.
Benton passed the cigars around and
lighted one for himself.
