Mn ilbo oops after you?" whis- Ilid Jupiter. "State police?"

Here was helpl Jen-y's manner Ind unconsciously struck the one chord to which the inner contra- ternity of public chauffeurs always and everywhere responds.

He looked squarely into that suddenly sympathetic brown lace. Be oughtnlt to have nodded - but

he did nod. "Linker?" murmured Mr. Jones. "Jupe." said Jerry. finding

He jumped into the car. The car pumped up the street.

It was a vehicle that, in calmer dayl. would have excited it: pres- ent pasen;.:e.r'a derision -- the even-eady derision of a men who owns no car at all.

But. now Jerry warmly thanked Heaven for it and ior the chance that had impressed something oi his own fervor, however erroneous- ly. upon Jupiter. The crazy motor did its best, and its best wasn't bad - for a while.

They left the town behind them; they breasted a sleep and stomy route. There was still a. ruddy (ur- noce glowing in the western sky. The way was clearly lighted, and the light showed iields of green to-

"Ya goal" he cried. "Herve the 'tree' that nearly did for me the night before iastl Twombiey got to it. alter all. Ancio slinnl”

The the repaired. resolute Jupe burned the nose of his our back oo- wud Ainerlcua:

"You kin come 'loing. or stay yhere, er yo yo' own way on ' tnoteies. at you knowed Campbell lak i do, you'd oome 'long. But suit yo'set!. mister. Me. I'm goin' to town."

Jerry. on his aid , had no choice. This time. he was sure. 'Pwom'bley's hand had not hesitated. No mat- ter how much it might look like drowning, Angie slinn had been murdered -- and Rose had been hailed to that hut in the high- lands. Jerry mrioualy saw the car rattle away. with every nerve taut. with every mmcle straining. he

ran. .

Second: became minute: -4nin- utes seemed hours. This section of the cauntzryiaide proved at once as desolate as that toward which Jer- ry toiled. No farms now - no houses -- not even another travel- or. The woods had closed 111. Only the trees aibove; below only this rough mad and along it the black and white of fatal Brunet”; Creek. Nevertheless. the mute was indeed the most direct as Jupe had declar- ed it to be. It brought Glidden at last to the turnpike at a point be- tween Ironburg and that at which the old cart track cut toward clear- ing and cliff.

There stood the shanty, more than ever like a tumbling tomb. But something strange rose before it; a parked touring car, silent.

empty. Nothing else unusual - nothlng stirred. Jerry was unarmed. Almost

without stopping, he picked up

the one hand, while, on the other I brief incline fell off to the brawling waters or a deep creek- that creek which Rose had men- tioned and which Jerry concluded was partly fed. iinderrround, by Brook 0' Day Lake.

Then an explosion. "1 knowed iti" walled Jupiter. l'That there tire's the rear right, an' it's the only new one o' the whole four!"

He jumped out. So did Jerry. But Jerry's side was the creek side of the road, and Jerry's glance, as he landed, was captured and held by something coming down the stream - something that tumbled over and over - something that just then was stopped by I. rock.

Jerry all but fell to the brook- aide. He reached far out and caught a corpse. B-roizans. An in- fiated skirt. A sunbonnet tied be-

lay in his ccyiirse. He ran llzhily, but, beyond that, took no precau- tion against, giving alarm. Here was the garden, here those rusted tools. A weapon, alter all! He snatched a spade and swung it against the closed door.

Jerry had expected a locks re- sistance. Instead, the door new open so readily that the spade clattared to the floor.

"I suppose this is that man you were telling me about. Twombley? -Come in, Mr. Glidden. I can't call you welcome; but I figured by your wire to Miss Walker that you might get here this evening. so well have to make the bwt of it."

Beside redheaded Twombley at a lamiplit table the speaker sat -a gray man, but powerful. Gray hair fringed a bald dome: gray was his thin, savage face with its bulbous nose and more slit of a mouth: gray eyes devoured Jerry through horn-rimmed spectacles. Yet the rellow combined the shouidcrs of a hull with the arms of a gorilla.
