Her only communication with the
outside world had heen by tele
phone and brief Interviews wltlj
Obndlah Evans, and Afiulla Clinee.
The little botanist had heen a con
tant caller and Vev.gy was glad
for had It not 'ecu for his almost
daily visits she would have become
a mental wreck from loneliness and
sheer nervousness combined.

decided bans. PcsKy caught her
breaih.iiho had lint touihed that
side of the desk. Who, then, was
fumbling about?
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. Chase fol
lowed 'with some .candles and pie
plates he found lit the kitchen, for
holders. , .
The botanist placed his manu
factured candelabra at the most
cauveulant. angles as Obadiaii knelt
and . esamlned the lighting system.

"It'o milk In a cocoanut shell," ejaculated Obadlah s Pcogy stared at It.
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

Ills rubber boots before entering.
, Ho "nodded n greeting to Chaso
sud shook hands with Peggy,
"I was over to Litchfield this
afternoon" ho said. "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

At that, the color returned to
Peggy's cheeks. So that explained
his absence and ho had gono to nld

".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.
"Don't forget your promise to
take me to Sundown's camp," tho
admonished,
Tha room was suddenly plunged
In darkness,
"The electricity lias beon doing
