CHAPTER XXXVII.

It was known, now—from the Wilderness Station agent — that Ann had taken her son and Nance Jordan to the city. That a stranger in an imposing automobile, with a man in uniform at the wheel, had twice visited the Haskel place was also known. And that was all. But about Jeff Todd and his activities the neighborhood seemed better informed, although the talk was mostly in cautious whispers, sly. half-humorous observations, and thinly veiled suggestions. Pappy Giles shook his head dubiously over some of the things which he hoard at the store. And it was noticed that he treated certain loudvoiced. swaggering customers with grave and. as far as possible, silent »e=pect. The old storekeeper was sometimes awakened at night by (he sound of horses passing down the hogback. Certain men from other neighborhoods were seen about the Haskel place. To Uncle Jimmie and a chosen few Pappy sometimes recalled the days when the night-riders of Swamp Valley terrorized the countryside. Once, when aggravated almost beyond his endurance by a visit from Jeff and his inseparable companion, Lem Wilkins, Pappy told Uncle Jimmie that “Jeff Todd war jest like a bad dog what had broke loose an’ war runnin* wild over the country. Couldn’t nobody tell who he war likely to bite, nor when.” “Y’ou done said hit,” Uncle Jimmie agreed. “The only difference 'tween Jeff an* Lem is the difference ’tween a polecat an’ a skunk—which ain’t nothin' but a manner of speakin’. A body couldn’t, think nothin’ Y»orrt one what wouldn’t fit t'other jest as well." it was generally conceded—with more or less uneasiness—that “if Ann war to come back she’d sure find things changed a heap.” Some oven went so far as to say that “Ann Haskel had done had her day, an’ that if she knowed what war good fer her she wouldn’t never show up in these parts no more.” • * * Jeff Todd and Lem Wilkins were in the living-room of the Haskel house.

It was an hour, perhaps, after sundown. A meager fire burned in the neglected fireplace where the heaped-up ashes, spilling out ever the hearth and the floor, mixed with a slovenly litter of burnt matches, discarded quids of tobacco, and other refuse. The table which formerly held John Herbert’s books, papers, and writing materials had been dragged from its place in the book-corner and was burdened with a gallon jug of “white mule,” several dirty glasses, a pack of greasy cards, a collection of flat pint and half-pint bottles, and an open box of leaf tobacco with an assortment n( cob pipes. In place of the greenshaded student lamp, a grimy evilsmelling lantern shone with a murky gleam in the foul atmosphere of tobacco smoke and eorn-liquor fumes. The bookshelves were bare. The brown flower jar was overturned on the floor in the corner. “Be an hour yit Tore hit’s time fer we-uns to go," offered Lem in the manner of one making polite conversation to pass the t'me. “All of that,” returned Jeff. "Ain’t no use fer we-uns gittin’ thar 'fore the boys. They wouldn’t be a-staftm’ ’fore dark.” Lem spat meditatively into the feeble fire. “ ’Tain’t nigh so handy from hyear as ’twas on the head of Shady Creek.” Jeff grinned. “Hit’ll sure be mighty onhandy fer old Ann Haskel. if she war ever to come back.” The other laughed appreciatively. ’Td like to be a-hidin m the bresh to watch the old gal’s face next time she drops in at the head of Shady to see if things air a-runnin’ to suit her. What do you reckon she'll do, Jeff, if she comes back an’ finds out what’s happened?” Jeff Todd answered with a snarling oath: “Ann Haskel’s goin’ to do jest what I say. I'm a-runnin’ things now. If she’s fool ’nough to come back hyear she'll listen to me or”—he paused significantly—“she’ll be a-leavin’ these parts ag’in a darned sight quicker’n she did before.” “You done said hit," agreed Lem, admiringly. “I reckon you know you can count on me an' the boys to--” He paused, listening intently. “Sounds like somethin' a-comin’ down the hogback from the ridge." “Hit's an automobile." said Jeff,

under his breath. “What the heck! Thar ain't no call fer anybody a-comin' this road since them Lodge folks left" They ran Into John Herbert's >room. where from the window they could see the lights of a car coming down the hill. "Mebbe hit's them fellers come fer a load of licker,'' murmured Lem. “No ’tain'L They wouldn't be a-comin’ this early in the night.

front of the house they were lying on the ground behind a bush at the corner of the building, a position from which they could observe anyone leaving the car, and from which they could, if in their judgment it seemed best, retreat into the woods, with the house to cover their movements. It would be very dark in the woods, but in the clearing the stars gave a faint light A solitary figure left the car and approached the front door. “Gosh!” murmured Lem. “Hit's a woman!” Silently they stole back into the kitchen. Ordering his companion to keep out of sight, Jeff went on into the living-room to answer the visitor’s knock. He threw open the door, and in the light which streamed out recognized Diane Carrol. “Good evening,” said Diane, hurriedly. “I came to see Mrs. Haskel.” Jeff looked over her shoulder toward the car—a roadster—and his bad-dog face twisted into an evil grin. “Tell Mrs. Haskel that I am here, please,” Diane commanded, sharply. “Say that it is important—that I must ses her.” “Sure. Come in, miss." He stepped aside. Diane crossed the threshold, and he closed the door behind her. “What be you a-wantin' of Ann ?” “I’ll explain to Mrs. Haskel. Go tel) her I am here." “Sure. That’s all right. Thar ain’t no eall fer you to be in sich a sweat’s I can see. Sit down. Y’ou an’ me ain’t had a visit fer a right smart spell.” The girl moved to put a greater distance between herself and the man who stood with his back to the closed door. She tried to speak calmly, but her voic ■ trembled. “Really, 1 have no time to visit now. Mrs. Haskel is at hom<, isn't she?” “Ann an' Herb an' Nance done went to live in the city right after you left these parts. They ain’t

never come back as I've hyeard tell. An' I'd sure 'a' knowed hit if they had." "But Ann and Nance must be here,” cried Diane. “What makes you think that a way ?" The girl answered, desperately: "Because they left their home in the city. Where else would they go but here? They left suddenly. There was a party. Ann received a message. She disappeared. It was all my fault I must see her at once and explain. It is no use for you to say she isn’t here. Tell her I have come to explain. Please let me see her.” “Did Herb leave, too?" “No, no—-just Ann and Nance. It was a little before midnight that Ann received the message. I saw the butler give it to her. Then she was gone. She must have taken the

train which leaves at one o’clock." “How’d you git hyear?” “I came in an airplane to Aurora, and motored from there." "Does Herb know von come after Ann?” “Nobody knows. 1 left just before daylight, I wanted to be here when Ann arrived, but there were delays. The plane was forced to land at Springfield, and I lost time in Aurora finding a car. Ann must have arrived this afternoon. I’m sure I can make her understand if she will only give me a chance. Please go and tell her.” “I’m a tollin' you that Ann Haskel ain’t hyear. She ain’t come back to these parts, wharever she is.” Diane was frightened now in earnest. “I—l was so sure Mrs. Haskel and Nance would be here,” she faltered. “I must go.” She started toward the door, but Jeff did not move. “Whar you aimin’ to go? You sure can't be runnin’ ’round in these woods all by yourse'f in the night. 'Tain’t safe fer sich as you." “I’m certainly not going to stay here,” the girl retorted with spirit “Open that door.” “I’d sure admire to know why you can't stay here,” Jeff returned, deliberately. “You spent a night in the bresh alone with Herb. I reckon you ain’t got no call to be so uppity with me. I’m a heap better man than he ever war or will be." He turned and dropped the heavy bar in place across the door. Then he called, authoritatively, ‘’Lein—come hyear.” When Lem appeared Jeff contin ued: “You go tell the hoys I can’t be with ’em tonight. You needn’t tell ’em I got company; tell 'em I got other fish to fry.” He leered at Diane as he added: “An’ don’t you come back till mornin’.” “Jest as you say. Jeff, but I'd sure admire to git a bid to your fishfryin'.” (To Be Continued) Copyrltht. 193 2. h* Harold Heli Wright bi«trtb(i!*d hr Kin* FMtura* Syndicate lae

Turnips are a ccol season crop but for the fall and winter supply they must be sown in June and July. They will get a start and make a slow growth until the cool weather sets in and then they will rapidly develop fine solid roots. The American table now demands its tut nips fresh and young. The old mature roots are not in much demand except in localities where the green grocer does not flourish. A supply all summer is easily maintained in the home garden. For the early fall crop plant now. The turnip likes a mellow rich soil and its sin cess and tnlldi ness of flavor depends upon keeping it growing without check. The
