Hugh, no doubt The others were out of sight save the minister. He had stopped by the fire ruins and was waving something at us. Lily Kendall thinks you about" Victor was way ahead of me. By the time I caught up with him all thoughts of what Lily had hinted were driven out of my mind. The minister was brown handwaving a much-wor- n bag. Theres your bag, Judy!" Victor called. Where did you find it Mr. DeWitt? "Why, right there." He pointed out a young juniper bush beside the path which ran in back of where the fishhouse had stood. We'd all been on that path Innumerable times and not seen my bag. you very much." I hunted for Bessie's key. Yes, there it was. Now she could lock her bedroom door and I could give the artist back his key. My coin purse was O. K., too, with a little change in it. Also, I saw at a glance, the lovely compact a girl friend had sent me from Florida. I was tom between going to assist my poor aunt and the desire to see if the money was still in my room. Victor had bad plenty of time to get into the storeroom, so I didnt feel afraid. Besides, the wind bad blown my hair till it was a sight I needed a couple of minutes before a mirror. Not mine. Id only scout a moment and then go into Aunties room. Hugh stopped me in the halt Wait a minute, Judy. I was Just going back to the church for you. Do you think its safe for you to hang around that Quade fellow alone? He tried to hold me by putting his hand over mine on the newel post I yanked away. I was so mad 1 forgot he was a guest Suppose you attend to your own affairs. And your sisters. The thrust shot home. He stepped I was only considering your back. safety, Judy.

Then were going down to the bridge with the gang. Will you come, too? He was being decent after I'd been pretty rude. You bet Im coming. Wait for me, too." Well, dont be long. Some of em have already started. Poor Mr. Quincy is wheeling himself." Go help him then. Bessie can come with me." I tore up to my room, and after a trembling moment went boldly in. The money was still there. Sssssh, beat it, came from a How crack in the storeroom door. can I ever trap anybody with k you? I ran out and closed my door again. You wont Theyre all going to the bridge. I I only wanted to powder my nose. I opened my bag and took out the powder pouch, pressing the lid. Then I nearly catapulted down the stairs. diamond Roddy Lanes square-cu- t gleamed pinkly through the powder. I slumped Oh! oh! oh! oh! weakly down on the top step, groaning aloud. Victor came out of his hiding place and told me to shush. I handed him the pouch, just as Bessie Norcross peeked around the banisters. Whats the matter Judy? You sick? Shes a little faint, and no wonder, Victor answered for me. I never saw anybody recover himself so quickly as Victor Quade. Dont try to show me the plan of the house til you feel better. Miss Jahe said, solicitously, knowing son, full well Bessie had caught him up there. "Shall I call your aunt?" I had presence of mind enough to press my hand against my side Its nothing. Just a stitch in my side. Getting old. I tried to laugh. I saw Victor putting my pouch in his pocket Would he think I'd stolen the ring from that awful band? "Your key. Here It is. Miss I tossed it to her as she came part way upstairs. Hugh is waiting tor you. You two go along. You. too, Mr. Quade. I'll be all right now. The pain's gone. Let her think what she wanted to; It couldn't be helped. By the time we reached the piazza our guests were ambling toward the bridge. Uncle Wylie had already gone down, my aunt said, scolding because I put off setting the luncheon dishes out He'd beaten the whole of us, taking the minister's car, as he explained later, when he'd seen a truck skimming along the Neck. Hugh Norcross was helping Mr. Quincy Into another car. Potter's presumably, over near the garage. De Witt already bad a front seat Wait for us." Victor called, but they didn't Perhaps they didnt bear him. Anyway, they were started before we were down the walk. Why dont you go back, Judy?" No, no. You dont think? I've got to know.
