sarcastically. ."''No, not wildly. Alius

you lilt your mark even In a poor
light." Ills eyes dropped to Stan
tnu's 'blood stained shirt. "By the

Peggy stared dazedly around.
Where' had she put the automatic
pistol? .
"It's here somewhere," she In
sisted. "It must he, for I dropped
it wheo 1 came to him."

With a swift upward tots .of her shapely head Peggy faced the sheriff.
She - drew out a handkerchief
md, stooping down, spread It over

"Oil, lie must not lie here like
this. Cap you not, In couiuion de

"Yes, now that I've seen the lay

carried Stanton's body Into a room
an the second floor,
"Don't move anything out of

"I mean you, too," as Jim Joined In
the search. "Ah, here's the gun!"
Ills foot came in contact with the
butt- of the pistol projecting from
under a rumpled rug.
, "Take care! it's a hair-trigger
action."
Peggy's warning came too late,

"How soon can you get ready,

Obadlah Evans answered for her.
"I'H go ball for' Miss Prescott,
Bill," he said with decision. "I'm
good for 110,000 or more."
"Tlsn't for mo to settle the
amount of ball," the sheriff re
torted; "that's the magistrate's
business; Besides, Obadlah, this
Isn't any ordinary offense It's a

"Sure," agreed the farmer hoart

everything I own that Miss Tres

Sheriff Beach hesitated. II I s

studied her pale beauty and noted

"Come Into Litchfield with ua

Perhaps there was a chance of
getting back to Tew Lodge within
an hour. . .-.
Soon the sheriff brought the car
to a full stop before an old colonial
niannloo. Peggy glauced at her
watch as Obadlah sprang out and
summoned the Judge. They had
taken less than half an hour. 01) it-
illnh's comment had had Its effect,
und she was grateful.
As Judge Fisher came nut, Oba
dlah held open the door of the car
an,d the judge entered with a be
wildered expression.
We can talk as we go." Obadlah
explained. . ' . : . 1
"This Is Miss Peggy Prescott,
niece of Herbert Prescott of yew
Lodge," Obadlah explained tersely.
Ed Stanton of Sharon broke Into
Yew Lodge early this morning and
thinking him n burglar, 'she shot
and killed him." -n
Peggy on tho front seat caught
Judge Fisher's startled exclamation
but heard no more as they dtew
up th front of the jail'.
Juilgo l'lslior followed Obacllnh
out of the car In a more leisurely
manner and stopped by Peggy's
side. ..'.-.-
"This Is all very astounding," he
said, bowing gravely as hs met her

"Voti say 'you mistook Stanton
for a burglar?"
"I took I1I111 for a burglar," sho
corrected swiftly. "lle'hroko Into

Judge Fisher looked at the sher

"Nol 1 looked to see If ho had.
Miss Prescott slatos she saw him
open tho front door and come In."
"Creep In," she amended.
The Judge stroked his chin.
"That presuppose ha bad a key"
"Yep.'1' if was - Obadlah that
spoke. "I'm thinking Herbert
Prescott lot him have n latch key
when he was staying (hero last
summer."
"Very llkoly." Fisher nodded.
Jim, leaving his car with Ihe en
gine running Just behind tho sher
iff's, was listening attentively to all
(hat was said as he stood by Ihe
rear door.
"I'll go ball for her. Judge, fnr
any amount you set," Obadlah
broke In, with 0110 eyo on tho cloc k.
"She'll stay at Yew I.odgo until

wavered: "she'll huvo to, by the
terms of her uncle's will, to Inherit

The Ink was not dry on her Big
