Able Armltage!" the woman said sharply. "You're In trouble. So are we all, maybe. That's why I came to see you. Is It true what they say that this Bed Bart Delaney has showed op here in Tlncup?" "As true aa disease or death or any thing else unpleasant." "That's what I'd heard I Do I have to guess why he's come?" Able untied his scarf and shook bis head sadly. "No, Em, Tour first guess will be right. And he took a shot at Benny yesterday!" "And missed, I'd Judge from the look of him Just now. But If he's still here there'll be a next time; and he won't miss then. Did you do your duty and send the boy to some safe place?' Able sighed and told her of his talk with Ben "So you couldn't make him listen to reason!" she muttered. "Well, if you can't, I can't. And, us failing, there's only one other who would have a ghost of a show." "Dawn?" She nodded. "Dawn could. But she won't ... She won't go to him now. She wouldn't even listen to nie talk about him, she's In such a state. She's up to the ears in love with Ben El liott or I've got three legs 1 And then to have that scandalous woman do what she did nnd upset it all !" She sat down heavily In a chnir and drew a great breath "I don't have to ask you or any other man about Ben Elliott, Able I I know the clean and decent folks when I see 'em. I'd bet my reputation as a Christian woman on that boyl That piece of piny acting at the dance was some of Nick Brandon's work, you can bet your Inst red centl I had to give him a piece of my mind Just for relief the other day and, goodness me, what a look he give me! Why, Abie, that man's worse than ever I thought I My, oh, my I He gave me a look that like to froee the blood right in my veins, after all the years of palaver and soft talkln' I've listened to from him! "Well, what I'm gettln' at ts this: The boy's In danger of bein' murdered every minute of day and night unless ha takes your advice. There's no one left to try to talk him Into being care ful but Dawn. And how am I going to get her to see her duty when she goes Into a cryln' fit every time his name's mentioned? Yes, sir. Every time she hears his name." "She doesn't yet see that the affair was a put-up Job, then?" "See? She can't see anything, Able Armltage I Put yourself In her place. Suppose you were a young girl who's had the things to bear that she has all her life ; and suppose you fell In love for the first time ; and suppose that young man was accused of such nastlnees right in public with every body listening and gawping? Would you stop to figure that the reason he seemed guilty was natural? That the thing was so far fetched from the truth and such a shock that he was all kerflummoxed? I should say you wouldn't I You'd do JuSt what she's doin' ; make yourself all sick with chills and fever by cryln' !" She twitched at the skirts of her cloak Irritably and glared at the old Justice as though he wore a sworn enemy instead of a friend. "What ails her Is shock. She ain't got over the shock yet and every time bis name or anything else about him Is mentioned It sets her off again. She'll get over It, give her time. But then she'll be so humiliated to think she didn't use her reason that she won't be herself for another spell. And she should be herself now I There ain't any time to lose. She should patch up her mis understanding with him right today right tbL'hour and use her influence to persuade him to keep low. But how It', to be done I'd like to know. For Lord's sake. Able, ain't you got a sin gle suggestion?" The Justice had been stuffing light wood into his stove during this. Now he touched a match to the tinder, opened the drafts and stood with hands behind him, rusty overcoat unbuttoned and drooping, deep in thought. , "It's difficult to get anyone in h or state to use reason. Maybe the shock of knowing that Ben's life is In danger would be a counter Irritant to this other shock. Maybe not If the affair ef last week could be cleared up, If Dawn could be shown that this Lydia woman was only carrying out a plan . . . But I wonder . . ." Aunt Em stiffened In her chair. She looked hard at Able and her eyes nar rowed a trifle. "Xou see," he resumed, "if the girl" ., "Hold on, Able Armltage!" she cut In, holding up a hand In warning. "Hold on, now I I've got to think . Jot to think, I tell you I And 1 can't think while you carry on your gabble! You leave me alone, now. ... Keep your tongue stilt . . They say a woman's tongue is hung tn the middle and loose at both ends. - But . . Yum , . ." As she pressed one band over her eyes her words dwindled to unintelligible . mumblings. "I've got it!" she cried excitedly after a moment. "I've got it, now ! You stay right here, Able! You stay until I carve back. If It works. It worka. . if it don't. It'll be time to talk some more!" She moved resolutely to the door, left the office and strode down the street. People of Tincup watched her pass; people she had known for . . uu uu uraituu&c, uoi even so much as a glance or a nod. On past the bank, the post office, the pool room On beyond all the stores, on down to the depot. There, on the platform, she stood a long Interval staring across the tracks to that short row of house on Section Thirty-Seven. The station agent came out of the office and looked at Em In surprise. "Hello!' tie cried. "What brings yon down here before" "Homer," she cut In grimly, "In which one of them nasty places does this Lydla woman live?" "Why-why . . . Why, how should 1 know?" he evaded as a red flush crept up from his collar. "In the one at this end, I think. I'm not sore, of course. . . . I think she does, though. . . . She ..." But he no longer had a listener. Kesolutely, slowly with something like "Homer, In Which One of Them Nasty Places Does This Lydia Woman Live?" defiant majesty, the woman crossed the tracks, with never another word to her Informant and never a look to rlttht or left. Her head was up, her mouth set, and her long nose wrinkled as if at a disgusting odor. A woman up by the stores shaded her eyes and peered at the moving figure and stared and stopped. Aunt Em Coburn, headed for Thirty-Seven! Why, it couldn't be! But Aunt Em mounted the steps. She rapped at length and vigorously on the scarred panel of the door. She went within, leaving a down long-distance watchers to wonder. It wu long before she emerged and then . . . Ah, then Tlncup had a sight to see, a subject for speculation I For by Aunt Em', side moved the wom an Lydia, collar of her fur coat high about her face as If to hide the traces of tears which hastily applied powder could not eradicate. Tears from those hard eyes? Noth ing less I For women know women and before Aunt Em had talked to this outcast five minutes she had discov ered the weakness in her shame, the clean spot left In her heart And how Emma Coburn could talk I She talked that clean spot to a growing, glowing, glorious thing. She talked Lydla out of her house, across the tracks; talked her Into that sto, unashamed, almost flagrant march up the main street; talked her but of all but one look of misgiving at the windows of Nicholas Brandon's offices. . . . And around the corner and in beneath the hem locks which whispered above the sriug white house. They entered, where Dawn McManus had hidden Since the woman's words sent her flying from the dance hall to the sanctuary of Aunt Em's understanding arms. '... All the way out to camp Dawn snuggled close against Able in his worn old buffalo coat Now and again she trembled a bit ; once She cried softly a few minutes. But much of the time she talked. "To think it was the man I used to call Uncle who did that thing!" she cried. "Why haven't you told me, Able? Why haven't you warned me?' "What he's done, what he's been. what he is, were no things for you, Dawn, girl. I've Just tried . . . to Stand between you and many unpleas ant things. You've had your share as it was." "I could have stood this one more," she replied, stoutly enough. "It hasn't been so bad these last few years, know ing 'that everybody thinks my father murderer. Id Just gotten myseir above that and now . . . and now . . . "What now?" Able asked gently. She looked at him through tears. "When a man loves a girl, that girl can't let herself love him, can she. when she's under a cloud herself? She can't bring a man's children into the world and have them whispered about as the grandchildren of a murderer?" "Dawn I Dawn, girl, don't think tnat i Why. it's" ' (To be Continued next week) Electricity Alwsyi Active An plectrlc current is always passing from the atmosphere Into the earth be low. .
