She always told me where she was going, but I tried to telephone her, sometimes, and she wasnt where shed started for. He wiped his brow heavily. It made me crazy, sir, he confessed.

Did Mrs. Kell approve of the change? Yes sir. She didnt like my working for Ledforge. Did you? Was he a good boss? You could never tell about him, Kell explained, almost abstractedly. One day he might be as friendly as you could ask; and the next day he might not speak to you at all, sir. Yoir wouldnt know him for the same man. Tope stared at the big man for a long time. Then he asked casually: Mr. Holdom treat you all right, did he? "Yes sir! The big man was at ease now, quite off guard. And Tope asked sharply: Then why did you hit him over the head and leave him beside the road down near Hartford Saturday morning, unconscious, with a fractured skull? Kell swayed where he stood and his ruddy cheeks drained white. Tope Insisted. Why did you? Why, Kell? There had been no warning In his manner, nothing to stiffen Kell to resistance. And the man stammered now: He told me to, sir! Made me! Adam, at this admission, whistled soundlessly, and grinned with delight at Topes shrewd guess so incredibly confirmed. Nonsense!" Tope said curtly. You mean to say he told you to kill him? No sir, Just to hit him, Kell Hit him urged, almost pleadingly. over the head. He told me to hit him and leave him. He stopped suddenly, and Tope Go on! Go on! And prompted: when Kell was silent, Tope said harshly: "Come, Kell! You hit Mr. Holdom because he told you to. Whats the rest of it? But Kell, a new strength in him now, put on a mask of courtesy, of incredulous surprise. I dont know "I, sir? he said. what you mean, sir. Mr. Holdom hurt? Not badly, I hope, sir?"
