And Michael was so strange to-
night. He had sat all through dinner
awfully preoccupied, not answering
When he was spoken to at alT Final-
ly he had looked over at Bunny,
•nd said, without warning, "Do you
believe he’s guilty?"
Bunny was pale with great black
rings around h¥r eyes She had been
pretty sick after the gas She had
looked up and aatd. "Don't ask me.
Michael How can I tell? I don't feel
that It's possible he's guilty. If that's
what -you mean."
••That’ll do," Michael had said
gravely 'men. after a minute, “It's
lonely In prison, I’ve heard We won't
let him out on bail How'd you like
to come down and tell him you think
he’a Innooent?"
Bunny had been sort of frozen at
this question, and she had stared at
him. 'What do you mean, Michael?"
"Do you remember exactly what I
said to you about Duncan? That if
you knew as much os I do about
this case you would never speak to
him again?"
"Yes"
"Well . can't you imagine what
that means. Bunny?"
Tuck's head hurt again It had
been swimming at dinner, and she
herself simply couldn't imagine what
that meant, except what It said Evi-
dently It didn't mean that. Bunny

Charlotte Jean had brought an
aspirin, then, and Tuck had taken it.
Perhaps that's what made her head |
feel fuzzy The cool twilight air was
wonderful ... It made one sleepy . ..
There was a rap at the door "Mrs
Forrester." Mr Deane's querulous
squeaky voice said, ' is your husband
B»?"
"No. he Isn't." she answered, trying
to rouse herself "Can 1 do some-
thlng?"
"Gordon's conscious I don't think
you can. He is trying to tell your
husband something and we cant
understand him "
"Whut about, Mr
who hit him’"
"No Nothin;; so sensible Some-
thing about a 'creeping man' he
keeps saying it ov< r and over, and
tie s so anxious to tell Mr PYirrester
that we decided we must get him " ,
Tucks brain cleared like magic.
She stood up "I'll come." she said
instantly "Maybe he won't stay con-

She led the way down the path and

Supposing . . . why had that hair-

fallen there? And supposing sup-

because she had been standing right

Tuck glanced up at the sky swift-
ly Another half hour before dark It
would still be light out on the ctlffs
Her mind was made if), She couldn't
wait until tomorrow to know
*Bhe turned toward that dark fig-
ure out in the wood, leaning there
against a tree, and called exit softly
"Mr Donovan." ahe said. "I’m going
out along the cliffs. Will you come
behind me In the trees, and aee that
nothing happens to me?”
He raised his billy, and straight-
ened up She went up the path on
flying feet, and looked hie way only
occasionally to tee that he followed.
Agamemnon came too. dashing ahead
of her happily They reached the fork
of the path, and Tuck raoed madly
through the darkness

stump where ahe and Bunny had

swiftly to look for Donovan, and he
