and her node, Jolm Feeble, both
of whom .challenge Uie theory of
Jerry's guilt, fear for his safety.
I-Yom the police they hear the
startling news that Jerry was seen,
speeding toward Skull Valley,
where Ids father owned a deserted
mine, mysteriously linked with tlve
murder. -

I put the telephone down slowly.
How was I to keep It .from Iucy?
Jtut when I looked Into her eyes I
knew there would be no keeping it
from I-ucy. . -
"It was headquarters.. Deacon Is
dropping . In nere. ' They they
Want him to call up."
"There's something cIhc, Undo
John. Something uhout Jerry,
What Is it?"
"Steady, old girl," I pleaded,
dropping an arm over her shoul
der. "Somebody snw Jerry driving
along the Peskella roud towards
Skull Vulley tho night before lust."
i "Skull Valley Torridlly." she
whispered.
I nodded. "Probably."
"I thought he might have gone
there. Deacon Ik coming here, you
say. You won't tell him?"
"I shall huvo. tn, Lucy. If 1
back now and 'give himself up,
Deacon probably would. But Dea
con believes Jerry did it and If he
finds him out there he'll think he's
hiding don't you see?"
This was 'my own view of the
matter. If we could have warned
Jerry that Deacon was on his trail
the boy could then have antici
pated arrest by . giving himself up
to the police.' A thought struck
me. - - -
"If Jerry has been In Skull Val
ley since the, night -before lost he
may not know ibout his father.
The town is abandoned. There are
no telephones, no newspapers,, no
means of 'Communication. That's
why he hasn't turned up."
"Of course that's why. Uncle
John," the girl cried frenziedly.-
A car 'had stopped In front4 of
the house. Lucy's face whitened;
then a queer, "excited look leaped
Into her eyes and she slipped Into
the hall. Her cheeks were burn
ing when she returned. v; '
"Jt Is Deacon and he's alone!
Let me hnndle him, .Uncle John!
PleuHe!" . '...'...'i" .
"Handle him! My dear .child!
What do you. mean?";:
"I've got. an ideal jt's.. Jerry's
only chance! Vou must let me try
It! Promise me you will,.. Uncle
John!" , .
"Why, why good Heavens, girl!
Oh, very well! What do you want
me to do? He's here, now."
"Nothhlg! Just stay there and,
don't interfere w h ft 1; e v e r I do!
Promise!'!
."Oh, very well," I .promised.
She .was off In a flash, shutting

are .Wry to do?". , She cluHped her
hands desperatoly. "What can wo

"Jerry will explain." I mumbled.
"Don't we know he's done nothing
, to be afraid of?"

explain, but will Deacon accept his
explanation? If Jerry were to come
