"I suppose you know the Mor risses," Maudie said In that friendly, gossipy way that meant the other conversation was defi nitely at an end.

"Jennie Is certainly sweet child," she said. Tod's bands turn-, bled awkwardly for a cigaret, but I he managed to agree. He said he d known her for some time, but it wasn't until this summer when he was back home to stay that he had really had a chance to get ac quainted again. "I suppose your father knew; everyone in his day," Maudie said,, walking toward the door with him. "But the old-timers go. Missi Morris and that man at the inn,; Chris Gordon, I guess they must1 be about the two oldest residents' round these parts." Tod said he guessed so. too. His: father used to talk about the days; when Miss Mime was young and: pretty, and Chris Gordon had been there running the little inn. "Young and pretty well, I sup pose Miss Morris might have been once, only it seems hard to be lieve," Maudie added. "Oh, Miss Millie's all right when you ge to know her," the boy aid. . t. "Yes, I enjoyed talking with heri even xoougn ine occasion wasn't! the best one could wish for. She si woman of convictions, I'd say.'" "My father said she had the longest memory of anyone he knew, and heaven help the per-i eon she didn't like. But she was' loyal to her friends, he used to' say.

Maudie looked forward to 'the Inquest with an enthusiasm that: wasn't decent I don't know what' sort of fireworks she expected, but s far as I was concerned the pro ceedings were anything but pleas-: nt Not that my part or Maudie'si' u bad, for the questions theyi ked us were nurelv routine, hnti hated to sea Jeania Mania auled up there.

Her voice wasn't qui to so steady now, but she still retained her dignity. "I I met someone and we visited for a few minutes." We all sat there awaiting tha next question. I could see Miss Millie two seats away from me, watching her niece with an ex pressionless face. Dressed In that rusty black gown of a bygone era, Miss Millie added the finishing touch to the room. ' Maudie was breathing faster than ever and I knew aha wished now that she hadn't worn that new corset Denny Flynn was sitting up in front taking notes occasionally, but most of the time just watch ing people. Once he looked at me and his eyebrows went up into those little triangles as he smiled. My heart went into a silly flutter. aaa rpHE assistant coroner stood looking at the girl as though framing his next question. Who she was with was what everyone wanted to know. And the general ; feeling was that she would name 'Herbert Cord. One could easily Imagine where ithat would carry her in the minds 'of the jurors sitting to determine ihow this man had met his death and by whose hand. A quarrel j there, and a bitter parting and then the girl's pursuit down the 'half-mile stretch of road with more angry reproaches until the lend, with his body sprawled on tha 'bed of "mint ta the boob. I bathed woods. ' Tims seamed to stand still whO we sat there waiting and then cama the first bombshell. But it was one that made Maudie and me lean bark In our hard, un comfortable chairs and relax with relief. It came when young Tod Palmer, sitting next to Denny with some sheets of copy paper clutched in his hands, stood up. "I should like to say, sir, that Miss Morris was with ma during that time."
