A match glowed close nt hand, held by Oliadlnli mid Chase brought a candle from a stand near tlio staircase. She found her torch under some papers. Snatching It up, she played it on the far corners of the room. No one, except themselves, was there. She must have been mis taken, slio thought. "1 must send for an electrician and see what Is wrong with the circuit. The lights havo been very annoying lately, and sometimes do not come on again for hours." "i'erhaps only water Is needed In the batteries" suggested Obndlah. "Would you care If 1 looked?" "Oh, will you?" said Peggy, grate ful for the offer. "Will you bring sonic caudles, Mr. Chase?" nslied J'e&Ky and showed Ohadlnh down the collar stairs, her torch lighting the yuy.

Five, ten minutes passed and ho was about to give up when ho eyed tho wires leading to the electric generator that wore, partly con-, cealed from view. . "Hold your light steady, Miss l'roscolt. Ah, here's whero the trouble lies. Two of the wires are loose." 1 Ills strong fingers fastened the, almost as securely as a wrench. Ho was wiping the grime from his hands when he observed Peggy regnrdlng some object on the floor with curious eyes. ' , "What's that" she asked, notic ing his glance, Ohadlnh reached down and picked up the bowl filled with n whlto sub stance. . "It's milk" ho said finally. "Milk 111 n cocoanut shell." "So It Is" ejaculated Peggy." Now whnt is that dolus here?" "For the cat" hazarded Chase. "Horrors, no," Peggy cast a wor rled look about. "I huve an antipa thy for ratB and Julia knows It mid wouldn't hnva one on the lloor." "Tho milk's fresh," oiindlali ob served ns he put tho shell back on the floor. Taking a candle, he strodo around tho cellar looking In the corners. Suddenly ho stopped. Tlio small high windows toward which ho faced opened on tlio ground underneath the vcrandn overlooking Mohawk Pond. Oli.v. dlah's hump of location was ab normal. Slowly ho wheeled around and faced tho direction of 'Mohawk l.ane, and the spot whero ho had tripped und fallen, Tuesday night. From there holuid looked directly nt n lighted window In tho base ment of Yew Lodge a w indow with a erenui-colored Holland shade, In stead of a window ho was confront, ed hy a padlocked and bolted do'or. ' "Whero doei this lend?" he asked laving his hands heavily on the door It did not even quiver, much less shake under his sturdy push. "That door'.'" Peggy looked up from contemplating the cocoanut. "1 hnien't tlio faintest Idea It's tho one door in the house to which 1 have no key." Ohaiilali studied the door and his bmw was knit In thought. Peggy urged lilin to break the loik and Investigate tho Interior lint ho suggested that she wall until bo could bring n locksmith on Mon. day. Then Ohadlnh nud Chase left. flVi'inyftf, O.

"The going was 'most llko swimming In a sea of mud. Sheriff lleach told me about tho autopsy. ICil Stanton died as tho result of tha pistol shot tho doctors foutid the bullet" ' '; Peggy heard no more; the room was whirling around and the friendly faces grew dim and then faded out. "Take another nip" conicd Oha ' dial) ns he held a glasj of wine to lier Hps. Soon Peggy opened her cyos and looked about. . "I'm sorry 1 gavo you such a turn" , began the farmer. "I didn't know. I thought " "That 1 should have known 1 killed Mr. Stnnton. 1 suppose 1 did realize It. Mr. Kvnns. back In my nilud but 1 couldn't help pray ing that the autopsy would show ke died from some disease." "Don't you worry one bit about it," Ohadlnh urged. "A lawyer friend explained to ino thoro is what they call excusable homicide whero you kill lu defeuso of one's family or properly. That will be our defense. Jim's gone to New York to engage a hang up criminal lawyer for you, Mr. Williams In In .Kurope." At that, the color returned to Peggy's cheeks. So that explained his absence and ho had gono to nld lier. ".Vow Miss Proscott, 1 guess wo bottcr bo going and let you get some sleep," Obadlah said, bowing awknrdly as he made for the door, motioning to Chnso who followed. Chaso paused ns Peggy called his name.
