He pinned me with his glare as if he dared me to question it. 1 let it ride and listened to his breath hissing through his nostrils. "I don't deny having seen Anion," he said, "but if you can in any way construe our encounter as conversational, far from accurate and I'd advise you to keep away from him." why?" He in one of his less civilized if he was ever civilized. 1 wouldn answer for what he or that black monster of his might do to you, a stranger."

I think you can take my word for that. Is it important I just wanted your I stepped back to wait for him to drive off.

It sent the car with a groaning jerk that threw a wake of muddy wate onto my shoes. As 1 walked on in the direction i of the house, 1 examined the fresh tracks from Gairdner's tires. They were definitely not a diamond pattern.

When I came to the old orchard it was Dleak and empty I hadn't realised how much I'd been hoping be there. Indifference seems to have the effect on memory of a good coated lens, keeping the picture clear and sharp. 1 could see Cricket, or the farmer husking coin, or the clerk at the inn as distinctly as it they were beside me. But with Dana it was different. 1 thought I had memorized the cheekbones, her eyes, the mouth, the slim, tall ftg ure.

Now that 1 was about to see her something had gone wrong with the locus none ot it would i come together. 1 wondered, way you wonder about a girl naven't seen lor a long time, was going to be disappomtet lot them are so real loo w'hen been away and close to them again. 1 was still carrying the club but I had wandered into the yard as if 1 had never heard of Dobermans. Nothing had ground my leg up as yet so if he was around he seen me. 1 walked paat the boxwood with its rustling blue-green mass ot foliage to the old door under the tanlight.

1 lifted the knocker, let it drop and listened to the wind grieving through the trees. The leaves seemed to have thinned since yesterday. At the risk ot bringing the dog around the house I used the knocker again, longer and louder When the door opened, it was Cricket her old eyes fixed beyond me like two milky opals i here yesterday. the you if 1 A King get Xs Miss Dana home "No, suh.

She led me into a low-ceilinged room done in some gloomy ling like cherry. There was a feeble fire that fell apart when poked it. She bent painfully toward the wood basket. "Here, let me do I wasn't sure she liked it, but 1 laid a couple of heavy pieces on the andirons- "Must keep someone busy cutting all this I said. "We gets the wood hauled in ready-cut." suppose you enough work to the outside man busy without wood." 1 watched the shriveled face.

If there was any change I didn't see "Time was w'hen there was plenty yard servants on the plat e. They all so trashy Mister Anson say he rather not be you ever have a hired man come work by the day?" I tried to sound mildly interested. She stiftencd. "If Mister Anson have no man," she said loyally, "it because he want She moved toward the door and hesitated. I got the feeling she wanted to walk out on me but sure I could be trusted.

"Is Mr. Anson 1 asked. "No, he must gone ofl after Mias Dana." 1 wondered if Yoke Gairdner had really seen Anson or, if he had, why he wax so anxious for me to keep away from him. "Where is Miss Dana?" I could see her going through sortie Kind ot personal agony. It was barely possible to make out what she was saying and 1 honestly believe that for her, at this moment, I was there.

"My little girl, she don't eat nor sleep right. 1 hear her prowlin' round the house at "You think I asked softly. "Won't take no medicine." The blind old face broke up and she worried the apron with her hands. "All I'se good tor is take care my tolks When 1 cain't do nuthin' lor them it hurt in here." She pressed a fist against the bony chest and went out the door. 1 could hear her mumbling and a floor board creaked as she shuffled along the hall (' hh I wu LSU Expects to Name New Coach By This Wednesday BATON ROUGE, Fob.
