Chapter 43 SINISTER FARM I N' 3lngle flip, on account of tho nar A rownosa of tha path, v headed tor the dark line of atraggllng bushes which marked the site ot the lane. A yard or two from our goal, Jerry, who was a ahort dis tance In front, pulled up and waited for us. "I'll go first and have a scout round," he whispered. "Stop here till I give yoi the tip." "Better 'et me come too," I ob jected. He shook bis head. "You look after Molly that's your Job. If you hear any shooting, clear off at once and make for the boat. Don't worry about me; I can take care ot my self." Without pausing for any further expostulation, he crept forward to- "I've done you a great wrong," wards a gap In the hedge, where a1 dilapidated stile led out tnlo the muddy cart track beyond. In another moment be had disappeared from view. For what seemed to be an Inter minable time Molly and I stood there listening. The wind kept up lta dismal wall, and now and then something small stirred or scuffled amongst the rough grass. Out to seaward alckly-looklng moon was slowly mounting up above the borlion. At last a low whistle reached our ears. It was evidently the appoint ed signal, and, moving forward, we climbed cautiously over the broken tile. As I did so, a sharp twinge of pain reminded tne viciously of my Injured shoulder. Jerry, who was leaning against a tree a short distance along the lane, remained at his post until we came tip "It's all clear," he announced In a low voice, "at least, so far as I can see. Don't make any more noise than you can help, or that blasted dog will probably start barking." TIE led the way round the corner, xl and following him In the same order as before, we came out oppo site the ontrance to the farmyard The gate was unlatched and an un canny stillness brooded over the neslected out-bulldlngs. The farm-house Itself was Invisi ble from the road, and It was not until we were nearly halt-way crtui the yard that Its ugly slated roof and grey, weather-beaten walla suddenly came In slRht. It stood back a little to our left behind a narrow strip of garden, and, passing through a second gate, Jerry guided us along a rough laurel-bordered path which ran up to what was apparently the front entrance. As we approached. I saw that the door was wide open. We all three came to a halt out side, and at tha same Instant Mrs. Gowlland made her appearance.

By VICTOR BRIDGES ttepped out from a room on the left of the passage, and stood there framed in the doorway a white faced, tragic figure. The front of nor cottou dress was sheared with blood. It was Jerry who was the first to speak. "Theso are two friends of mine," he said, "Mlta O'Brien and Mr. N'lcholas Trench. May we come inside?" At the n ontion of my name Mrs Gowlland's whole body suddenly stiffened, i:- : 03 Died themselves on mine !: searching atare, and then, ' ; her head silently, she move.: . into the passage. The roo. . ..:o which Jerry led us looked out on the back of the house. It was a long, dark, low celllnged apartment; such daylight as still remained being almost ob scured by a thick shrubbery, which grew up within a few feet of the windows. At the farther end atood an open stone fire-place, and In front of this, stretched out on a black horsehair sofa and covered by a blanket, lay a stiff, shapeless object. Propped up against one side of the hearth was a double-barrelled twelve-bore gun. MRS. GOWLLA.N'D, who had fol lowed ua Into the room and closed the door behind her, came up slowly to where I was standing. Mrs, Gowlland whispered. "You are Mr. Trench," alio fal tered, "you ara the man tbey they ..." "I wait accused of killing Os borne" I Interrupted, "but, as you know, It'a a He." She opened her lips, but remained dumb and motionless. "It'a because ot that," I went od. "that I'm hare now. I had nothing to do with Osborne'a death. He came to me when he was In trouble and asked me to help him; 1 did what I could, and tor the last three montha my life baa been a hell on earth. Even now some people still believe I'm guilty." I came a pace noarer. "Haven't I suffered sufficiently?" I demanded. "Haven't I a right to ask for the truth?" There was a tense paur.e, broken only by the slow ticking ot the wooden clock above the fireplace. Then, with a dry oh, Mrs. Gowlland bent forward and burled her face In her hands. Molly came up from behind us and put her arm round the trembling woman'! shoulder. "Don't cry," she said gently. "We want to help you If we ran; we want to be your friends." I pulled forward a chair and, sink ing down Into It, the other crouched there for a moment, her fare still hidden. "I've done you a great wrong," she whispered. "Please please for give me. sir. I ousht to have told the truth long ago. I would havt only only I didn't dare." With a sudden shiver, she lifted her head. "It was my husband whe killed him." she said slowly. We none ot us moved or spoke. In the silence it seemed to me that I could almost hear the beating ot my own heart. "He killed hlra because Osborne had loved me" her voice was al most Inaudible "because we had loved each other." (Copyright, 1931, Fenn Publishing Co.) Tomorrow, tha group aaarchoa Oowlland'a cht.t.
