Then in even louder sound struck her ears, i man In the yard running faster than she could run, making for the outside door of Tom Gough'a room. She gained the door she was heading for and heard the other door snapped open, and heard a man's heavy boots come pounding on. She fled faster than ever, carrying her lamp In one band, her letter in the either. The lamp chimney was shaken off and crashed to the floor, making a noise, It seemed to her, loud enough to wake the dead, but the flame, giving out more smoke than light, still burned on and showed her dimly the way she must go to gain her own room. She glanced back and saw the man speeding after her; It was too dark back there for her to make him out clearly, but she knew it must be Ranee Waldron, and she could Imagine his bard hands choking her to minds." Ann Lee nut her llni close in Aunt Jenifer's ear. "There are windows!" she whis pered eagerly.

They listened for his deoartlns footateps and didn't hear a sound. So they quite naturally decided that he was still standing before their door, trying to trick them Into stick ing their noses out when he'd be ready to pouncs on them. But he had tricked them In another way. What he had actually done was remove hit boots, set them down gently snd hurry In his socked feet to the kitchen, get the hand-asnd of thing.

It was Ann Lee's swift hand'that unlocked the door; Cody, his gun still In his hand, since he trusted Ranee Waldron In nothing, made no His move to cross the threshold. eyes, smoldering under his dark brows, took in all the loveliness of the trim little figure before him, gave no hint of his admiration, passed on to Aunt Jenifer. "Do you care to tell me what the ruckus was all about?" he asked. "It might be a good idea." Speaking pointedly to Jenifer, he added: "You were right In what you told me t while ago. Cal Roundtree and I have found out a thing or two." "Will you step in, Mr. Cody?" asked Aunt Jenifer. "You're right welcome." "I'd be glad to do so, ma'am," said Cody politely, and stepped briskly into Ann Lee's room. Aunt Jenifer closed and locked the door and wasted no further time giving Cole Cody, with Ann Lee all ears to take it In, her adventure of the night. She even handed the Jenkins letter to Cody who read it snd then stood there frowning at It. "I don't know what to do about It sll," he said at last "This letter found in his room, and the fact of his having hid a wounded man in his room all day, comes pretty close to pinning Mr. Ranee Waldron's ears back.
