Again the stories checked. This
was the quarrel and threat of

"What happened then, Togi?"

Nella had told him of her strug

Adam had realized what he had
done, he had cried like a child.
Then, getting control of himself,
he had joined them in the drive.
"And then, Togi?" Sidney
prompted, wiping . perspiration

"I think first he strike Miss

. He strolled out into the garden.
No human being was in sight but
it seemed to Sidney that the quiet
dusk was alive with eyes. An
other trooper had replaced Mur
phy, man with a gift for keep
ing out of sight and yet he seemed
to be everywhere.
When Sidney noticed a dim fig
ure moving in the shadow of the
grove he decided it must be the
trooper. It was too dark for posi
tive identification, but he could
see that the man had a bundle of
some kind under his arm. Brait
wood threw awiy his cigaret and
followed.
Keeping a safe distance behind,
he moved on toward the thicket.
It was quiet He could hear the
distant voice of the brook and an
occasional strring in the grove at
his left, where some small animal
moved in darkness. He listened
for the crunch of leaves under
stealthy feet ahead.
With no more than a dozen
yards between them, stalker and
stalked came to the edge of the
thicket, where a narrow trail led
through tall trees to the summit
of Langdon Knoll. It a cloud had
not obliterated an appearing moon,
Braitwood might have recognized
the man as he turned to enter the
trail, but in the darkness he lost
sight of him altogether. He knew
that the man must be just ahead,
and he followed.
Presently the trail led into an
open patch shaded by a huge oak.
From the scrape, scrape of shin
against bark and the agitation in
the upper branches of the tree, he
guessed that the fellow must be
climbing. But why?
In that blackness nothing could
be seen. Or did the man know
he was being followed? Did he
hope to elude his pursuer in that
way? Perhaps the fellow was not
a trooper, but someone who had
a bundle to hide. The leafy screen
offered a far safer haven than a
tell-tale grave.
Concealing himself behind a
bush, Sidney waited.
Plowman had suspected Henry
Brakes. If Brakes came down out
of that tree, did it mean that the
trooper captain had reasoned cor
rectly? It would seem so and yet,
deep within his mind, Sidney held
stubbornly to another theory of
the crime.
A shower of leaves rained down
as the moon slid from behind the
cloud. A leg appeared. The fel
low dropped to the ground. .
