CHAPTER VI
A Star'a Homecoming.
THE return of Mrs. Sage after an
absence of 23 years wn an
"even" far surpassing in inter
est anything that had transpired
Rumley since the strange disappear.
ance of old Oliver Baxter.
Hundreds of people, eager to see
the famous "Josephine Judge," crowd
ed the station platform long before
the train from Chicago was due to
arrive; they filled the depot windows
they were packed like sardinos atop
the spare baggage and express trucks,
they ranged in overflow disorder
along the sidewalks on both sides of
the street adjacent.
The train pulled In. The crowd
tiptoed and gaped, craned its thou
sand necks, and then surged to thl
right. Above the hissing of steam
and the grinding of wheels roce the
voice of Sammy Parr far down the
platform.
"Keep back, everybody! Don't
crowd up so close. Right this way,
Mr. Sage How are you? Open up
there, will you? Let 'cm through.
Got my new car over here, Mr. Sago
lots of room. Hollo, Janet Great
honor to have the pleasure of taking
Mrs. Snge home ia my car. Right
over this way. Grab those suitcases,
boy. Open up, please!"
Mr. Sage paused aghast half way
down the steps of the last coach but
one. He stared, open-mouthed, out
over the sea of faces: his knees seom-
ed about to give way under him; his
nervous fingers came near relaxing
their grip on the suitcase handles;
. he was bewildered, stunned.
"In heaven's name " ho groaned
and then, poor man, over his shoulder
in helpless distress to the girl behind
him "Oh, Jane, why didn't wo wait
fnr the midnight "
But someono had seized tho bags
and with them ho was dragged inglor
iouslv to the platform. Jans came
next, crimson with embarrassment
She hurried down the steps and wait
ed at the bottom for her mother to
appear. As might have been expected
nf nnn an trnlv theatric. JopeDhine de
layed her appearance until the stage
was cloar, so to speak, snc even went
so for as to keep her audience walt
i Prmcorlerl bv the Pullmnn Dor
ter, who up to this time had remained
invisible but now appeared as a proud
and shining minion bearing boxes and
irnvollnff eases, wrans 'and furs, she
at length appeared, stopping on the
last step to survey, with well affected
surprise and a charming assumption
of consternation the crowu tnat pacic
ed the platform.
Now. a great many perhaps all
of those who made up the eager, cur
inna ernwrl. exnected to behold I
., niirl radiant Josephine Judge;
they had seen her in the illustrated
Sunday supplements and in the pic
tnelnl maffazlnes: always she wos
sprightly and vivid and alluring.
They were confronted instead, by a
tall, angular woman of fifty-two or
iri.fhrnn enralesnlv even "sloppi
ly" dressed In a slouchy two-pleoe
pepper and salt tweed walking cos
tnmo. Whut moRt of the observers
at first took to bo wad of light
brown fur tucked uhdur her right arm
was discovered to be a beady-eyed
Pekinese."
But the minister's wife wag still a
vividly handsome woman. Sha had
taken good care of herself; she had
made a business of keeping young in
looks as well as In spirit.
In a clear, full voice, trained to
reach remote perches in lofty thea
ters, she spoke to her huabnnd from
the coach steps:
Herbert, dear, nave you the checks
for my luggage, or havo I?"
I I will attend to the trunks "
he began huskily, only to be inter
rupted by the indefatigablo Sammy.
Don t give em another thought.
Mr. Sage. I'll Bee to everything.
Give me the checks and right this
way, please, Mrs. Sage."
Thank you thank you so much.
said Mrs. Sage graciously, and, ns
Sammy buBtled on ahead, inquired in
an undertono of Jane at whose side
she walked: "Is that the wonderful
Oliver October I've been hearing so
much about?"
"No, mother that Is Sammy Parr.
I I don't see Oliver anywhere. I
wrote him the train we were com
ing"
A few paces ahead Sammy was ex
plaining loudly to Mr. Sage: "I guess
something important of a political
nature must have turned up to keep
Oliver from meeting the train. We
had it all fixed to meet you with my
car and he was to bo here at four
sharp. Doc Lansing's up at Harbor
Point, Mich., for a little vacation
Won't be back till Sunday week. Mu
riel's out here in the car, Mr. Sage.
She'll drive you home while I see
about the baggage."
Mr. Sage had recovered his compo
sure by this time. He leaned close
to Sammy ear and said gravely
"Luggage, Sammy luggage.
"Sure I get you," said 'Sammy,
inking. "But just the same I'll call
it baggage till I've got it safely out
of the hands of Jim O'Brien, the bag
gage master. Here we arel Hop
right in, Jane. Permit me to intro
duce myself, Mrs. Sago. I am "

I say, Herbert, old thing, you
can't make me believe this is Rum
Icy. You are deceiving me. I don't
recognize a single Oh, yes, I do! I
take it all back. I would know that
man if I saw him in Timbuctu. The
old Johnnie in the car we jut passed
It was Gooch the amiable Gooch
and, my word, what a dust he was
raising! "
Oliver, pedaling furiously, arrived
at the parsonage ten minutes behind
the Sages. The minister greeted him
as he came clattering up the front
steps.
"Ss!" he cautioned, his finger to his
lips. "Don't make such a noise, Oil
ver if you please. She's she
resting. Sh! Do you mind tiptoe
ing, lad?"
"Where is Jane, Uncle Herbert?"
broke in Oliver, twiddling his hat. He
was struck by the dazed, beatific, and
yet harrassed expression in the mm
inter's eyes.
"Jane? Oh, yes, Jane. Why, Jane
is upstairs with her dear mothci
helping her with her hair, I think. I
urn sure she will not be down for
some time, Oliver. After the hair I
think she rubs her back or something
of that sort. Do you mind strolling
around the yard with me, Oliver? I
was on the point of taking Henry the
Eighth out for a little exercise,
"Henry the what?" inquired Oliver,
still grippnig the pastor's hand
"The Eighth," said Mr. Sage, look
ing about the porch and shifting the
position of his feet in some trcpida
tion. "Bless my soul, what can have
become of him? I hope I haven't bee
standing on him. I should have
squashed him Ah, I remember!
The hatrack!" .
He dashed into the hall, followed
by Oliver, and there was Ilcnay th
Eighth suspended from the hatrack
by his leash in such a precarious fash
ion that only by standing on his hind
legs was he .able to avoid strangula-
on.
'I am so absent-minded," murmured
Mr. Sage, rather plaintively. "Poor
doggiel Was he being hanged like
orrid old murderer? Was he "
'I say, Uncle Herbert, don't you
think Jnne may have finished
rubbing Mrs. Sage's back by this
time?" interrupted the impatient Oli
ver.
Possible," said the other. "Come
long, doggie let's romp a bit."
Meanwhile, Jane, having brushed
er mother's hair, was now employed
in the more laborious task of rubbiri?
the lady's back.
"You have a great deal of magne
tism in your hands, my dear," droned
Mrs. Snge, luxuriously. "As I say, my
maid always did it for me in London,
but she never had the touch that you
have. The right shoulder now,
please."
I think Oliver is downstaira with
fnther," began Jane wistfully.
She was my dresser, too," went
on Mra. Sage, drowsily. "Really, 1
wonder now that I endured her at
ong as I did. And I shouldn't if she
hadn't been so kind to Henry tho
Eighth. I do hope your father is
giving him a nice litlto romp in tha

Shall I go down and see, mother?"
bruke in Jane eagerly.
Presently, my dear, prcacntly. I

Dear me, bow the house has grown.
ow many servants have we?"
"One," said Jane succinctly.
"One?" gasped Josephine. "I never
eard of such a thing.
"One is all we need, and besides
one is all we can afford. I am afraid
you will have a lot to put up with,
mother, dear."
Josephine was silent for a long
me. Suddenly she lifted her head
and looked up into her daughter's
face.
"My dear," she said, with a wry
little twist at the corner of her gen
erous mouth, "I've come home to stay.
daresay you will find me capable of
taking things as they are. I did it
once before, and I can do it again."
The express wagon with Mrs.
age s trunks arrived as Oliver, in
despair, was preparing to depart as
he had come, on Marmaduke Smith's
icycle. He took fresh hope. Here
was a chance to see Jane after all.
"Where do you want the trunks.
Jane?" he shouted from the bottom
of the stairs. There was no answer.
Where shall be put them, Uncle
Herbert?" he asked, his hands jam
med deep in his pockets.
"Bless my soul, I I haven't an
idea,'.' groaned Mr. Sage, passing his
hand over his brow. "Unless you put
them in my study," he suggested
brightly.
Fifteen minutes later, the trunks
being piled high in the pastor's little
study, Oliver mopped hiB brow and
expressed himself feelingly to Mr.
Sage from the bottom of the porch
teps.
"Uncle Herbert, I think Jane might
have been allowed a minute or two
to say hello to a fellow. Good Lord,
sir, is is this to be Jane's job from
now on?"
Sh! The windows are open, Oli
ver.
"Is she to be nothing but a lady's
maid to Aunt Josephine?"
"We are so happy to have her with
us, my dear boy, that er nothing
I understand, Uncle Herbert,'
broke in Oliver contritely, noting the
pastor's distress; "I'm sorry I spoke
as I did. Tell Jane I'll call her up
this evening. And please tell Aunt
Josephine I am awfully keen to see
her. I used to love her better than
anything going, you know."
Then he slowly pedaled away on
Marmaduke's wheel, looking overhis
shoulder until the windows of the
parsonage were no longer visible.
CHAPTER VII
Oliver is Worried.
THREE days later, the sheriff of
the county served papers on Oli
ver uctooer. Ane prosecuting at
torney had refused to lay the matter
before the grand jury, as requested
by Horace Gooch, but had grudgingly
cceded to his demand that an official
investigation be instituted by the
authorities.
"I want you to understand, Oli
ver," explained the sheriff, "that this
is none of my doing. Gooch has ob
tained an order from the court, call
ing for a search of the swamp and
your premises, basing his affidavit on
the suspicion that his brother-in-law
came to his death by foul means and
er bo on. He agrees to pay all
the costs arising from this investiga
tion in case nothing comes of it. On
the other hand, if your father's body
is found, and there is any evidence
of foul play, the county naturally is
to assume all the costs. The old man
has hired two detectives to .come
down here and take active charge of
the work. I hope you won't have any
hard feelings toward me, Baxter.
am only doing my duty as ordered by
the court."
"Not the slightest feeling in the
world, sheriff," said Oliver warmly.
"I wish you would do me a favor,
however. The next time you see my
uncle, please remind him that my
offer to give $5,000 if he finds my poor
father dead or alive Btill holds,
You can start digging whenever you
are ready, sheriff. If any damage is
done to the property, however, I shall
be obliged to compel my uncle to pay
for it. Don't forget to tell him that,
will you?"
The sheriff grinned. "I wonder if
this old bird knows how many votes
he's going to lose by this sort of
thing."
Oliver frowned. "His scheme is to
throw suspicion on me, sheriff. That's
what he's after. It is possible that
a good many people will hesitate
about voting for a man who is sus
pected of killing his own father."
"Don't you worry, Oliver," cried
th sheriff, slapping the young man
on the back. "Things are coming
out all right for you!"
Fully a week passed before a move
was made by the authorities. The
newspapers devoted considerable first
page space to the new angle in the
unsolved Baxter mystery, but not one
of them took the matter up editorially-
Notwithstanding the reticence of
the press, the news spread like wild
fire that Horace Gooch was actually
charging hia nephew with the mur
der of his father. The town of Rum
ley went wild with anger and indig
nation. A few hotheads talked of tar
and feathers for old man Gooch.
And yet deep in the soul of every
one who cried out against Horace
Gooch's malevolence lurked a strange
uneasiness that could not be shaken
off.
The excitement over the return of
Mrs. Sage was short-lived on account
of the new startling turn in the Bax
ter mystery. Acute interest in the
pastor's wife dwindled into an almost
innocuous form of curiosity.
Ladies of the congregation, after
a dignified season of hesitation, called
on her that ia to say, after forty
eight hours and were told by the
servant that Miss Judge wns not at
home. She would be at home on
Thursdays from three to six. Some
little confusion was caused by the
name, but this was satisfactorily
straightened outby the servant, who
explained that Miss Judge and Mrs.
Sage were one and tho same person,
and that the was married all right
and proper except, as you might say,
in name. Mrs. Serepta Grimes, being
an old friend, was one of the first to
call. And this is what she said to
Oliver that same evening:
"You ask me, did I see her? I did.
I told the hired girl to say who it was,
and in a minute or two the came back
and told me the barefacedest lie I
ever heard. She said Mrs. Sage wasn't
at home. Well, do you know what I
did, Oliver? I just said 'Pooh' and
walked right up stairs into her room.
She got right up and kissed me five
or six times and well, that's about
all, except I stayed so long I was
afraid I'd be late for supper."
"Did you Bee Jane?" broke in Oli
ver. -
"Certainly. Do you want to hor
what Josephine said about you?"
"No, I can't say that I do. By the
way, Aunt Serepta, there is some
thing I've been wanting to ask you
for quite a while. Do you think Jane
is pretty?"
Mrs. Grimes pondered. "Well," she
said judicially, "it depends on what
you mean by pretty. Do you mean,
s she beautiful?"
"I suppose that's what I mean,1
"What do you want to know for?"
"Eh?"
"I mean, what's the sense of ask
ing me that question? You wouldn't
believe me if I said she wasn't pretty,
would you7
"Well, I'd just like to know whether
you agree with me or not."
Yes, sir," said she, fixing him with
an accusing eye, "I do agree with
you absolutely."
The strange thing about it," he
pursued defensively, "is that I never
thought of her as being especially
good-looking until recently. Funny,
isn't it?"
"There are a lot of things we don't
notice," said she, "until some one else
pinches us. Then we open our eyes.
I guess some one must "have pinched
you. It hurts more when a man
pinches you 'specially a big, strong
fellow like Doc Lansing.
A pained expression came into Oli
ver s eyes. "The trouble is, I've al
ways looked upon her as a well, as
sort of sister or something like
that. We grew up just like brother
and sister. How was I to know that
she was pretty? A fellow never thinks
of his sister as being pretty, does
he 7"
I suppose not. But, on the other
hand, he never loses his appetite and
hopes and has the blues if his sister
happens to take a fancy to a man
who isn't her brother. That's what
you've been doing for two or three
weeks. If you had the least bit of
gumption, you'd up and tell her you
can't stand being a brother to her
any longer and you'd like to be some
thing else if it isn't too late."
"Gee!" exclaimed he ruefully. "But
suppsoe she was to say it was too
late?"
"That's a nice way for a soldier
to talk," said Mrs. Grimes scathingly.
Oliver saw very little of Jane dur
ing the days that followed Mrs.
Sage's return. Her mother demanded
much of her; she was constantly in
attendance upon the pampered lady.
Oliver chafed. He complained to
Jane on one of the rare occasions
when they were alone together.
"Why, you're nothing but a lady's
maid, Jane. You've been home live
days, and I haven't had a chance to
say ten words to you. Now, don't
misunderstand me. I'm fond of Aunt
Josephine. She's great fun, but, hang
