"A plorclng shriek from behind tho portieres brought Peggy to her feet a second later nflcr Jim's bound across tho living room. Julia groveled nn tho dining floor; her liorrlllcd slnro Used on the pantry door. , "It done c6mo dot way," sho mumbled, over and' over, as speech rolurncd to her. "What came, Julia?

She made no effort tc tv.swer the summons; Instead she &at glued to tho stool, her numb lingers wan dering over, under and around her sailor collar. The cord which she wore loose about her ueck and con cealed from sight, was broken. Brushing ir? Peggy, Jim opened tho vorunda door and peered out sldo. No ono was Ttsibie. "Walt!"

"Fill tier up witli gas," he bel lowed, using his hands for a mega phone, and Jim's iTuswering "All right" came faintly to hm. Obadiah watched tho red tall light until It disappeared behind a curve In the road, Ihon he went slowly haiek to his house.

"Tho months roll away," ho said, with a faint sigh. "It hardly seems a year since we've met." "Might months, to bo exact," re turned tho other. ','T,lmes have changed; Jim's back and Herbert Prescott's gone." Obadiah shifted about In his seat. "You'll miss Prescott." "Very much," agreed Chase.

"Not ,10 much ns 1 wns calculat ing lo " Ohadlnh looked across at the hnl-nlst Inquiringly. "Why?" Ignoring the question, Cause hitched his chair closer.

"Judging from what Ed let fall last night." "Well?" questioned Obadiah, lean ing forward In his eagerness. "Go on." "Ed hinted that Sundown might make It unpleasant for Miss Prcs colt." ; A loud exclamation from Obadiah Interrupted him. ".Sundown!" he echoed. "What In luiikct did ho mean?"
