Born of the Storm

j An hour later he went Into the
I bathroom and washed her face.
'Reentering the guest room, where
she and Gertrude were staying, she
paused at one ot the windows which
.overlooked the terrace. Absently,
she stared at the deck chairs, twin
ot which were now empty, and
then as her gaze strayed farther
she gasped. A man and a girl
stood at the fringe of the wood
land that semi-circled Dennis'
house. The girl was Gertrude and
the man . . . was someone she had
never seen before. As Priscilla
stared at them, wondering who he
could be, the man grasped Ger
trude's arm roughly. His Intention
was unmistakable. He was going
to hurt her In some way.
,. Priscilla raced downstairs. "Come
quick 1" she said breathlessly to a
.startled Tom as she went through
'the kitchen. Tom did not hesitate.
' He had caught up with her by the
Itlme she reached the back porch.
Together they ran across the ter-
race toward the woods and were
' almost there before the strange
' man saw them. He turned lmmedl
ately, dropping Gertrude's arm, and
.started back into Woodland.
i As Priscilla and Tom reached the
'place where Gertrude stood, rub
'bing her arm, a sharp, snapping
'sound came from the denseness of
i uncleared thicket back among the
i trees.
t RuHrlpnlv vnipa. RPPmpri tn be
coming from everywhere. In the
excitement about the stranger, Prts
, cilia, had not heard the sound of a
i car n the front driveway.
' "Hello," said Dennis' voice. "What
'are you all doing standing here?"
The three of them Jumped as if
,they were puppets operated by one
string. Priscilla, turning around,
saw to her surprise that Dennis
was not alone. Daniel was with
him. Daniel Kent, who had said
i Dennis, to Priscllla's further con
fusion, was not looking at . her and
Gertrude and Tom any more. He
seemed to be looking at somebody
In back of them.
"Good!" Dennis was saying. "Con
gratulations, Duffy." He was smil
ing. Priscilla whirled around the
other way In time to see Inspector
Duffy picking his way out of the
tnicKet.
"Come back here and give me
a hand with him, will you?" said
Duffy gruffly. "I had to put a
bullet In his leg and now he can't
walk, or thinks he can't."
Daniel and Dennis helped In
spector Duffy drag the man from
the thicket and carried him halfway
down the driveway, where their
task was taken over by two police
men. Priscilla, Gertrude, and Tom
had followed as far as the terrace
and now stood, still speechless.
staring. Gertrude found her al
ways lively tongue first.
"Whewl" she said, dropping Into
the deck chair she had left. "Let's
all. have a drink first and ex
planations second, third, and
fourth."
"I'm afraid we haven't time for
anything," said Dennis, as he and
Daniel reached the ktoud on the
terrace. "We need Priscilla to go
baok to town with us. Dora has
been hurt and . . .
"Doral" Priscilla exclaimed, more
bewildered than ever.
"We'll explain on th way," said
Dennis. "I know this all seems
crazy, but Just take It for granted
and come on.
The story, according to Daniel's
rapid account, was this, Dora had
been lured outside the grounds of
the home, where a strange man had
thoroughly beaten her,
Daniel wound up bitterly, "all for
a bar of candy." He sighed and
then, as Dennis concentrated on
driving and Priscilla remained si
lent, he continued.
"Anyway, the whole thing begins
to fit together, as Dennis saw verv
quickly, I . . . I'm beginning to
be very sorry for what I said to
ion two the other day, but I honest
y thought . . . under the circum
stances . , . you two being in love
and all that . . ."
"That's all right. Forget It," said
Priscilla quickly. "But how does It
all fit together? I still don't sec
entirely . . ."
"It's like this," said Dennis, driv
ing more slowly as they entered
the town. "The man who tried to
kill Dora Is the man who killed
Kenneth. The police have had a
dragnet thrown out for him since
last night and this afternoon they
got a tip that he was In the neigh
borhood of my house."

Dennis drove into the hospital
driveway and parked. To make
it brief," he said. "They're un
doubtedly checking his fingerprints
at headquarters now and If they
cneck with those on the kniie
he's Rafe Carlson, wanted In Sanl
Francisco for several robberies and
known to operate with two other
men, one of whom fits Kenneth's
description."
"But why did this ... this Rafe
Carlson kill Kenneth?"
"I don't know yet." said Dennis
patiently, "but that's beside the
point right now. What you must
do is get Dora's story. The poor
xia s Deen inrougn a lot ana she's
been frightened half out of her
mind." Dennis opened the door I
on nut side. "tne must nave wit
nessed the murder, else why would
the murderer be so anxious to have
her out of the way."
May 2Bth. the dreaded dav of
tne trial, came and went smooth
ly. Dora was still in the hospital,
but her statement had become a
part of the record. For two more
days the trial went on but at the
end of the third day, Rafe Carlson,1
under pressure from Dennis, ad-1
mltted that he had murdered Ken
neth Kent. It seemed that he. Ken
neth, and a third man had held up
two banks in San Francisco. Ken
neth had been wounded during the
second hold-up and, after forcing a I
doctor to treat his wound, the other I
two men had brought him home.
But Kenneth, who had hidden the
major part of the monev gained
from the first hold-up, then refused
to ten nis pals where he had hid
den it. Rafe had killed him for
his stubbornness.
Tlie Jury, after deliberating eight
minutes, acquitted Priscilla Kent
of the murder of her husband. As
she and Dennis left the courtroom
together, she felt that thev would
at last be allowed the happiness for
wnicn tney naa waited so long.
Dennis out his hand over Pris
cllla's where it lay on the arm
of her chair. "The bad things are
over now and the good things are
coming." He raised his glass with
his free hand. "Let's drink to our
happiness . . . together."
"To us!" she said softly. The
Emerald Valley of her dreams was
now wunin her grasp.
