'Ah, dot vas goot.' For au ioslan( anger flamed iu Price's jface, but before he could speak, a back jdoor opened, and a woman young, lithe 3nd chaining, eiifoitd, alid with' a" glaucd at (be man before her, saiU, 'All, |tbis is Ihe pcdtller Will spoke (o me 01. me lost his Wa>^-dear,' she continued, going lo Price, and laying her hand up* on hiaarm,"'and .Will met lINO oif the road and asked him tb to night.
