Impulsively she put an arm about Jeans shoulder and hugged her as the child drew a long, hard breath. She knew what she was thinking, knew that she was remembering the look in her fathers eyes as he had asked if the jewels were kept in the house. Of course, Walter Gerard had not stolen the gems, he wouldnt fall so low as that, but I'll wait until Mr. David comes, -- He will he here so soon had better consult him beenter complaint. of course, If you can aflose that emerald and the diamonds, Miss Prue, Its up to you.

They were too early for the train. In the village they indulged cones, and lavishly in still the minutes lagged.' Lets drive out the pond road a little way, Jean. Prues thoughts wandered. Why had- Dave decided to stay at High Ledges? It would make it awkward for her. Of course, she would want to see Dave daily; equally, of course, distrusting Rodney Gerard as she did, she couldn't go to High Ledges. She had wondered If Rodney ! Calloway had forged that letter about the check. After Jeans revelation about the photograph she had found in her uncles desk, how could she doubt any more? Walter Gerard had been right, the unfinished word was love, of course. Flitting from flower to flower! Mrs. Walt had boen right, too, her He brother-in-lawas unreliable. was the type of man Julie had married. She must put the Gerards out of her mind. They were becoming an obsession. Her own affairs needed oil her attention. Who had stolen the jewels? The escaped convict? She did not believe It any more than she had believed that Walter Gerard was the thief. Here comes Mr. Calloway in that snappy red car of his. Jean's excited whisper set Drue's on pulses quiekstepping. Calloway his way to the village! How soon was the train due? She pii'hed back her glove. Maddening. She had forgotten her wrKt watch. Jim Armstrong had said: the dark-eyemans aat with gay friendliness. d n This is a clear case of thought transference. I suppose seeing that path to The Hundreds brought you to my mind. I hate quarreling with my neighbors, Its so so tenement-houseyCan we arbitrate? Perhaps when you have time youll tramp over the land with me and show me what to cut but Im detaining you. Drive on, Jean. Just a minute ! Calloways nearset eyes were triumphant. Whats the matter with now, Miss Schuyler? My business at the village can wait What say if we take that tramp now? This snow wont amount to much." Prudence looked intently at Jean. "Wait here, won't you, K. K. I "Dont have the kid wait. Ill take you home, Miss Schuyler." That would help. Drive very carefully, Jean, and straight home, remember. Tell Miss Mack that Mr. Callow ay is personally conducting me over The Hundreds. Go out to the barn and tell Mr. Si. ne and I were planning to set an Incubator this afternoon, hut that can wait. Having posted which two sentinels on the ramparts of protection, she stepped over the bars that Calloway lowered. Why didnt the man speak? He was leading the way along the snowy path. Woods stretched, endlessly ahead, dense, dark, dismal. She didnt for . an instant doubt but she Calloway's respectability, had a shivery sense of repressed fury smoldering under his urbanity. Here we are!" Calloway stopped to brush the snow from the top of a granite boulder. See that B cut In the stone? It marks the southeastern corner of the tract your uncle purchased from my father. Heres a trail. Well go In a little way so that you can see the quality of the timber. All sweetness and light again, arent you?" Prudence mentally addressed his straight back as she He paused and followed him. turned.. Sorry to have made trouble for Miss your timber. you about Schuyler, but when I say Ill put a thing through, I do it, no matter what the consequences may be to anyone else. Prudence looked up at him. Wistfulness was entirely out of her line, but she did her best with voice and ? eyes. Suppose suppose is It too late to change my mind and let you The shrill whistle of a locomotive shattered the silence. The Irain had arrived! In a moment or two the gang would he on its way to High Ledges, and Calloway was herel Prudence lowered her lids. She felt as If her eyes were twinkling stars of triumph. cut "Suppose I agreed to let you to my timber, would you still try stop Rodney Gerard?" Calloway, "ho had started on again, turned. Do you mean that youll chuck Rod Gerard and give me the contract to cut? Do you mean that?" Can't a girl change her mind? Calloways eyes flamed. He caught She shook off his her shoulder. hand.

A thin gray fog of doubt dimmed her satisfaction In the success of her role of Providence. Terhaps her Idea hadnt been such a knockout after all. She had better get home. The trail on the other side, a little way down stream, looked familiar. She would wade to that. Zowle, the water was Icy. She slipped ou slimy, concealed rocks, splashed through pebbly shallows, unged Into a good pool.

Better rest for a moment. !" Hullo The call set her nerves vibrating. It didn't frighten her, but she didn't like it It was too near. The woods seemed to be closing in on her. She hated the feeling. She couldn't Jbe mistaken about this trail. She was sure that she had hern on It before. She must get Into the open. She was freezing. She ran os swiftly as clutching bushes and treacherous tree roots permitted. Her cold, wet skirts lashed her knees; her teeth cnat tered. How long could she keep this pace? Darn! What fiend had looped that root across the trail? She picked herself up. Oochl What a lump Lucky she had struck in the middle of her forehead, not under her eyes. What was that? Was she just seeing things, or was it it was a log cabin! She had been followblazed trail to her ing cabin Instead of one to the clearing! What difference did it make? There was a chimney. She could get warm. She stumbled toward It. Threw herself against the door. It opened ! The breaks were with her! She plunged in. Lost her balance. Some one caught her. Closed She stared unbelievingly. her eyes. Opened them. She was awake. Every hard drawn breath had been wasted; every step she had run, every fall had been futile. Calloway's furious, triumphant ojes blazed down at her. oo Cullo-vvn.v- e. mi east. She went on cautiously looking for the blaze on trees. No sign of human occupation. She stopped to listen. Was Calloway following? Did he think her a quitter? She wasnt.

You have forgotten that three persons already know with whom I came into the woods. I'll tell you my game, ns you call it. Rodney Gerard Is bringing in a crew.
