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

"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."

"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. "I'll see Sundown to
morrow;, so long." ;
, The car was moving slightly be
fore Obadiah removed his toot from,
the running board. With a me
chanical wave of bis hand to the
departing .sheriff, he. t,urncd back
to his house and came face to face
with Julia, hurrying down the path.
"Miss Deborah said she'd gib ma
some doughnuts she .was tryln,'. to
lake back lo Miss Peggy; so I wait
ed," she explained, securing more
firmly one end of the napkin which
covered the dish." ... . , (
Then, forgetting all attempts at
diplomacy, which had failed lament
ably In extracting Information front
the reticent housekeeper; "Whnr's
Mlstah Jim?" t .....
"On his way here," and with, that
piece ot Information Julia had per
force to be satisfied, for Obadiah
went ralmly Into the house, where
he had left Philander Chase.
Obadiah'a objective was the coal
clost In the hall. In lis dark ro-
cgssks, he felt about until ho had
located tho leather holster brought
o hi in by Aqulla Chune. Carrying
it to the front door, Obadiah
nludled the Initials of Its dead own
er. "K. S.," he muttered. "E for
evil S for Balan."
Ills powerful - fingers closed
around tlie leather with a grip ot
Iron. 1 '
"Stanton, you dog!" . .
