Chapter 30. A CLOUD LIFTS nrtlE tall form ot tlio sheriff was 1 Btnndlns on tho veranda whou Peggy answarod ho knock, "Hello, Coma in and sit down." foggy piloted tho sheriff to the most comortble chair in tlio room and placed before hint her uncle's choicest cigars. She sat down close at hand. ' 1 ( "How come yon are alone t" Beach asked. "It's getting kind of late, 'most six. Aren't you uneasy, staying by yourself?" "Julia went for the mail," Peggy paused and looked around; where wus Julia? She should have re turned at least a halt hour before. "It Is , not bo ..-louesomo. as , you think," she added; "Mr. Evans comes over often, and Jim," her pause waa intentional "his son." Beach looked puzzled for au in Dtant. . "His sou." be repeated; then, With dawning Intelligence: "Oh, you mean Obadiah'a stepson, Jim Sinclair." . ' Peggy sat very still. Her heart was pounding against her ribs and she felt half suffocated. So that was it! Behind her quiet eyes re garding the sheriff so steadily, her thoughts were in a turmoil. . So Jim was, in reality, the man ho had come to regard with such bitterness. The cad, to docelve her so! But evon as her blood reached the boiling stage, she was rait- enough to admit that perhaps It was a case ot eclf-deceptlon; slio had accepted Jim as Obadiah'a ion and no one had corrected that im pression. But was it honorable not to have told her? Perhaps Jim kept quiet to save her embarrassment- "Mrs. Sinclair waa from around those parts," went on Sheriff Beach, remiulsoently. "And when she was left a widow with two small children, she came back to the old farm. Obadiah and she had been boy and girl sweethearts till she went off, to llvo with some rich relations down to New York. "By and by she married Obadiah, but only lived , 'bout five ' years. Obadiah wanted to adopt both chil dren, but the New York cousins took the llttlo girl." Beach wagged his head reflec tively. "Obadiah gave ,11m a wonderful schooling; he sacrificed 'most everything for that boy." As he rambled on, Peggy strug gled to readjust her viewpoint. Jim was Jim to her, his parentage of no moment. It the wealth which she had hoped to share with him was to have been his by the pro vision in her unclo's will . In case nbe did not fulfill the stipulations therein, why she was tlio more deeply glad. Oeuerous to a fault, Peggy's heart rejoiced , "About that gun." Beach spoke more briskly as he reached tho object of his call. "Here 'tis. I romoved the cart ridges for - safe handling," and handed an automatic pistol to Peggy. ; , . , . , Peggy missed the sheriff's kindly meant, it tactless, sarcasm and the faint twinkle In his eyes, her alien-. tlon being entirely centered on the weapon In her hand. It was iden llcally like her uncle's, . but .the wording on It road, "Model 1911 U. S. nayy." She caught her breath, then smiled; of course, It would have "U. S. navy" stamped upon It did It not belong to Jim and he was In the navy; at least, she had found the gun she had used that fateful night In Jim's pocket presumably ho had picked it up by mistake for hK She must tell the sheriff the comedy ot errors and give him the weapon with which she shot Edgar Stanton. "This Is a .35 caliber pistol," she said, noting tho further wording on Iho automatic, and sho put out hur hand lo open tho table drawer where she had put her unule'i pistol; "while" ' "Sure," broke-In Sheriff Heach mistaking the cause of her hesi tancy. "And the bullet found In Stanton's heart war: of .35 caliber." Ills eyes traveled upward to the top ot the stairs and down to the spot where Stanton's body had lain. "You aro a darn good shot, Miss Preseott." I'cggy heard not a word that lie said after his first sentence. Her eitcndod hand dropped to her aide Twice she strove to speak before she found her tolce.

"Yon say tlio bullet lltai killed Kdgur Stanton wan of .35 caliber?" she faltered, thi'outili tins grown ghastly white. "1 do," declared the sheriff firmly, his surprise manifest. Was the girl trying to cook up somo technical defenso lo prove she had not killed Stanton? if so, he must be on his guard. "I was present when the bullet wan extracted by the surgeon per forming the autopsy, and it tits that pistol,". "Was was there no other bullet In Lieutenant Stanton's body?" . "None; and no other wound," crlBply. Not liking the trend of tho con versation, Beach rose with abrupt ness and reaching over took back tho pistol from her nerveless hand. "Well, I must bo going." with a scrutinizing glance at her. "Your signed confession is on filo in tho court house" stilt she made no re ply and the sheriff, considerably puzzled, walked over to the trout door. "I'll call agalu, Miss Preseott." Peggy's outstretched hand again sought the drawer where lay her unclo's .45 caliber autunmtlc pistol which she had shot at Slanton a .45 caliber pistol but he had boen killed with a .35 calibor bullet. Then she- hadn't killed Edgar Stanton! She wasn't a murderer. But her joy was of short dura tion. The bullet fitted Jim's pistol. A word from her and he would be Implicated! Driving away from, the lodge, Sheriff Beach stopped his car at Echo Farm, and from the seat ot his car parked In Mohawk Lane, called to Obadiah Evans. . "Can't come in," ho hollered, In answer to the farmer's cordial In vitation, megaphoned through his cupped hands as bo stood on the front porch ot his house; then, a Obadiah came closer; "I declare to gracious, I forgot to ask Miss Pres eott If Sundown's been there lately. Ho wasn't at his camp, though I spent a couple of hours on Blind Man's Bluff, thinking ho might show up." . Obadiah rested ono foot , on the running board and his olbow on tha door ot the touring car. "Did you .take hor the gun?" lis asked, and, as the sheriff nodded, "Got It with you, or did you leave It at Yew Lodgo?"- - Beach regarded him Indignantly. "Do you think I'm . such, a . fat head?" he demanded with some de gree ot heat. "No, I didn't leave such evidence with. Miss Preseott; lis uuia 1U ipy .yuuaui, . j , .- "Let s see tlie pistol r "What for?" belligerently.' " "I thought maybe. I'd, like to know why Miss Preseott asked to see it." "Here 'tia.V he said gruffly, and Roach unfolded the cloth about the pistol, keeping tho weapon, how ever, on the oilskin In his baud. "T'other side's tho same." The sarcasm was wasted on Oba diah who pointed a bony finger at the automatic. 1 "Maybe 'tis and maybe 'tlsn't,'" he slated, calmly. ."Turn her over, Shorlff." Conslderbly mystified. Beach did so, and he aud Obadiah gazed (town at the Inscription on the , metal: "Model, 1911 U. S. navy." . The sheriff rolled, up the pistol and thrust It back In his pocket. , , "Never expected to see you hyp notized by a gun, Obadiah," he re-, marked, turning on his Ignilkn switch as a hint that tho Interview was over.
