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. She

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."
