Within an hour after the showwhich had thrown EHiot Inti the sheriffs hands, Hopper had for gotten Ids gratification over tin solution In his alarm over tin storm which he was sure would fol low.

If the sheriff knew his brush poppers and he thought he did unpleasantness was going to come down on him In sheets; and he was already more Interested In plans to smuggle Elliot to some far safe confinement than he was In what had already been accomplished. With only a few hours margin for the completion of preventive mcas tires the sheriff barged off to Water man.

He wanted to tall; to Jean knew that he must talk to Jean; and he dreaded it. for he had no remotest notion of what he would he able to say. Now that the war of the SS upon Bar Hook was killed at the source, and the death of Mason no longer was a my stery which hung over Campo Iiagland, Kentucky Jones found himself comprehending as If for the first time, the full weight of the burden which Jean had chosen to bear alone. At one time, he thought, Jean must have believed tier father guilty or the murder of Mason. For him she had smothered the evidence at once concealing her father's supposed inher and concealing volvement knowledge from Campo himself. To her Bee Bishop had told a story which he himself did not understand; she had known the exact status of St. Marie and Kentucky Jones, and the truth about the misswas ing rifle and the picture that Kengone from Its frame.
