Jane pulled him down. The sentiment of the country people was against her boy friend. . Jo, the garage owner, was mad . clean through. What was the idea , I of dragging him and hi* mechanic , into this business? Mr. Breanu and , I the lady with him in court today , 1 had squeezed a car off the road last ' Saturday. But Mr Breanu had act- . ed like a prince, giving Dan White, | , driver of the car, a hundred bucks, way over the mat of damages. Then | Jane's young man had butted in. Color flooded Jane's cheeks. She , kept her eye* lowered. •'No harm meant to you, Miss." , | The garage man gave her one of , i his rubbery grin*. “Can't you leave her out of this?" ( David burst out, and earned another I whack of the gavel. . Jo went on. Ye*, he'd noticed , something fall to the garage floor. It might have been a compact. Yes, there had been a few words, he hadn't heard, between Mr. Breanu I and Farland. Yes, he'd say it was ' about 7:30 when Jane Rider and her I boy friend hurried away. Mr. , Breanu and the lady left a few moments before, he thought. The mechanic who had carried two tin* of gasoline down the road, 1 to fill up Jane's car, *wore he had done his job quickly. “It was pretty lonely there," he admitted, scratching hi* sandy hair, "But I seen no one except Mis* 1 Rider and Mr Farland as I was running back, thinking 1 might be needed. I didn't stop when they called." Ho hesitated, adding cau- 1 tiously, “Os course, I couldn’t swear someone else mightn't have monkeyed with the nimble seat. I didn't notice It.” They kept David until the last. He sprang to hit feet, his eyes their lighting blue. What had he done, 1 e except to lend his services to troop. , ers, detectives, reporters?

caught up. as she was. tn a world to which they didn't belong. The excitement had gone to his head. David's good-fellow instincts had suffered a blow. He now considered himself on trial, watched by natives and city people. He felt that Jane had failed him. So he looked past her. The trooper, Ed Blagden. who had been his guard over Sunday, didn't move a muscle. Yet David knew him Pi be friendly. Then at the rear, Bill Wright, the special writer and photographer, wigwagged. David grinned back. He had found a pal. He was set to go. But they didn’t let him go. They didn't want hit story told in hi* own way. They wanted to know about the strange couple he constantly referred to, just w hat be saw, heard, and did on the night of the murder. But first they put him through preliminary paces. He was born in the Bronx, was twenty-three, had never been to college, lie was employed a* talesman in Slogan's Sport Shop on Madison Avenue. He lived in a room in the East Thirties. He spent w-ek-end* at the Rider’s farmhouse out here, because—well, he hoped to marry Jane Rider, lie looked at her appealingly. Her face was set and grave, “Now, Mr. Farland, when did you first notice this couple? After or before you became acquainted with Mr*. Breanu on the ferry bound from 42nd Street to Weehawken?" "I was conscious of them while I talked to her," David answered loudly. They wouldn't get anything out of him about the sealed envelope the man had undoubtedly stolen from his pocket. That story was for Garrison alone, he'd promised Jane. "So among all the passengers on this Saturday evening ferry, you were conscious of a man and woman whom you described in your former testimony a* inconspicuous?" “J didn’t say that," David retorted. “I said J wouldn't have noticed them at all if—" he checked himnelf. “Yes? If? Continue, Mr. Farland." “She waa frightened — Mr*. Breanu, I mean." David glanced at Garrison who was leaning back, looking into apace. “I told you that a* we were getting off the ferry, they were near us in the line I believe Mia. Breanu saw them. She dropped her hag, in a sort of panic. Before I could pick up the things that fell out of it, she grabbed it and was gone. She didn’t give me a ehance to hand baek the compact." His breath cam* quicker. Ho had neatly avoided the envelope. “When did you see the couple next?" "In Macklin's store." "What wa* the reason for the fight in the store?" Jane's worried brown eyes were on David. Breanu leaned forward, David said defiantly, “I didn’t like the niug." “They seem to have had business around thu part of the country. You
