THE WARNING
"IBADIAIl EVANS mounted ihe
front steps of Phelps' Tavern
O'ttu heavy, tired tread.
Ills fatigue was Indicated also by
aousually heavy lines In bis clean
haven face, lines which had not
been there a month before. The
clerk at the desk greeted him cor
dially as ho entered the ofllce.
"A roam for the ulght," lie said,
in answer to Ohadiah's question.
"Certainly, Mr. Evans. Have you
Buy luggage?"
"Nary a piece" and Obadlah
waved a porter back to his scat in
the ball, "save this" and he put a
small black bag on the counter.
"Lock It up In your safo until 1 get
back."
His glanco strayed to the cloch
on the wall; the hands pointed to
10 minutes past 10.
"I'll return later." and before the
clerk could bay more, be wan out
of the office.
The rain had developed Into a
steady downpour and Obadiab
pulled the brim of bis hat over his
eyes to protect them as ho hurried
up the steps of the Jail. Ills knock
on the door brought Instant re
sponse. "Evening, Sheriff." Q bad lab

entered the hall, where be paused

"Can I bavc a privato word with
you ?"
"You've struck the right hour for
that," announced Big Bill Beach
dryly, leading tho way Into the sit
ting room. "My folks are all In
ped."
He yanked the shades down over
the windows with some force; he
also was tired and ready for bed.
"Sit down, Obadlah. and tell me
what's troubling yon."
Obadlah extracted bis Inevitable
pipe from bis pocket mid lllled and
lighted It before he answered.
Beach, Judging tho Interview might
prove protracted, refilled his pipe,
also. - in i .
"How about placing a guard
about Vow Lodge?" asked Obadlah
abruply.
"What's the need of a guard?"
Beach countered. "Ilavo sight
seers badgered Miss Prcscott?"
"Mohawk Pond's off the beaten
track." Obadlah pointed out slow

twinkled, "wn've kept Miss Prcscott
from receiving company, but It's
better so." j
Beach stroked his chin.
"Darn lonesomo for tho kid," he
admitted, finally, "unless you've
turned lady's man," and he eyed
Ohadiah's ungainly length of limb
nnd rugged, weathcrhealen counte
nance with a covert smile. Ills
pleasantry met with a grunt.
"We're not her only neighbors."

Beach hesitated. "Didn't old mnn
Prcscott glvo him a deed to Blind
Mali's Bluff; seems to mo 1 henrd
of It soma time lost winter."
"You heard wrong." Olmdlah
npoko with poMtlvcness.- "Sundown
may claim-squatter's rights, but
1 'twnn't get him far." Ilo drew his
. chslr closer lo the sheriff. "The
hilt-breed comes wlllii" the va
grancy law. I'm thinking."
"So?" Beach'fl intercut ' quick
ened. "No viplhlo means of sup-

"Just so. Come out, Sheriff, nnd
tell him to movo on."
i "Hold hard," esrlalmrd Ilearh,
with Inborn caution. "Ho can't g"t

Ohadiah puffed nt his pipe for a
moment or to, then held It In his
hand as ho bent forward.
"I was over lo sue Dr. Wells nt
East Brnok Farm, beyond Toning

"Well, go on," urged the sheriff,
his interest glutting.
"I've just come Irom Dr. Wells'
bouse. The doctor told me Sun
dowu's eyes ure peculiar, but us a
general thing he can seo 'most as
well as you and me, day or night.
He's just a faker, and a clever one
at that."
"A clever faker," repeated the
sheriff. "Well, 1 swan to gracious:"
Obadiab hesitated; bow fa?
might he venture?
"A dangerous one, I'm thinking,"
he said, "and living too darn close
to Yew Lodge."
Beach caught his meaning In
stantly. "Is the halt-breed troubling Miss
Preecott?" he asked, "if so, I'll run
him off the place; that Is.", with
more caution, "if she can prove
bee a nuisance." 1
Tho farmer pushed back bis
chair and rose.
"I'll prove It," his gruff tones
deepened. "1 have your promise.
Sheriff, to act if Sundown gives
Miss Prcscott trouble. Ilemem

with only a negro maid. Your
promise, man."
'You have it." was the prompt
and emphatic reply, and Beach fol

Miss Prcscott gave me a ring to

"She did? What for?"
"Asked me to come and see her."
Sheriff Beacli opened the front
door as he spoke and Obadlah
stepped past him.
'And said 1 was to be cure ana

"Her gun? repeated Ohadian,
with rising intonation.
'The one she used to kill Stan
ton." explained tho sheriff.
'What did una want the gun
for?" he asked, lowering his voice.
The sheriff shrugged his shoul
ders. "She didn t say: a woman s
whim. I sum. Maybe," with a
fant chuckle, "she wants to try
a pot shot at me. So long, Oba
diab." and he closed the front door.
Obadlah found the ofltcc at
Phelps' Tavern deserted except foi
the night clerk. Ilo was nbout to
depart with his black bag when the

he spun tho book around so that
it faced the farmer.
Obadlah was about to blot bio

stared at It with puzzled, amazed
eyes.
'Sny." he hailed the clerk as Ihe
latter started to enter a room off
the office, "which room has Mr.
Philander CliaFC?"
'None: he only came for dinner
late at that," responded the clerk
sleepily. "Ho asked me Ihe (lis

Obadlah nodded. "Your room's osi

generally had. Shall I go up with

'No, thanks, I know my way

secure a few undisturbed hours of
sleep on the couch In tho rear
room, departed.
Lett to himself, Ohadian crossed
over to the ball and looked nbout:
tho porter was not here, nnr any
belated guests of the tavern. No
sound disturbed the stlllnest'.
Still holding his black bag, Oba
