She's up at four o'clock these winter mornings, milks the cow, chops wood, gets breakfast, and maybe walks two or three miles with a big bundle like that, taking home sewing, or going out to fit a dress for somebody." Miss Allison had already awakened Lloyd's interest in Agnes, and she leaned forward to watch her, while Mrs. Bisbee went on.
I've had all the fighting I want for one day. Now, my own course is simple. I have merely to go back to New York and forget that either of you ever existed. But your problem is more difficult. It's after eight. You've lost the ranch. And you have no money." "But I can earn money," Gilbert said. "A hundred dollars a month punching cows? With her in a boarding-house in Bisbee? A nice life, isn't it?
"My name is Eveline Bisbee," she began. "I have heard, Professor Kennedy, that you are an adept at getting at the bottom of difficult mysteries." "You flatter me;" he said in acknowledgment. "Who was so foolish as to tell you that?" "A friend who has heard of the Kerr Parker case," she replied. "I beg your pardon," I interrupted, "I didn't mean to intrude. I think I'll go out.
THE red coat Lloyd wore that winter was long remembered in the Valley, for wherever it went it carried a bright face above it, a cheery greeting, and some pleasant word that made the day seem better for its passing. Mrs. Bisbee and the little Crisps were not the only ones who learned to watch for it.
"And marrying her girl to the greatest catch in California," thought the detective, but he said: "I believe you're dead right, although, of course, there may be nothing in it. Even 'Gene Bisbee might be mistaken, pryin' a gazelle out of an elephant like that. Now, tell me all you know." When Ruyler had covered every point Spaulding nodded.
Maybe I am foolish, but it keeps getting closer and closer to me now, and well, I wish you'd look into the case. Please set my mind at rest and assure me that nothing is wrong, that it is all natural." "I will help you, Miss Bisbee. To-morrow night I want to take a trip quietly to Bisbee Hall. You will see that it is all right, that I have the proper letters so I can investigate thoroughly."
When he looked up, his eyes told Norton that he had understood any danger which might lie under a question so simple in the seeming. His eyes were smiling contemptuously, but there was a faint flush in his cheeks. "I don't remember," he replied at last. "Some trifle. The shooting, coming suddenly that way . . .

"Did you sense what it meant, Luke what Aunt Molly told us about Matty Bisbee? We was left out deliberate that's what it meant. Her an' me that was raised together an' went to school and picnics all our girlhood together!
What is there to do? We shall not be here many days. If you'd rather we went back to Bisbee...." "Oh, no! That would only make an issue of nothing. He doesn't know anything? You're sure? Oh, Lucia!" He seemed suddenly overcome at their amazing meeting. She saw that she would have to be the mistress of the situation. "Don't don't, Gilbert," she begged. "I am just a guest of yours."
Things must have been running smoothly, for while I was sitting in our apartment after dinner, impatiently waiting for half-past eight, when the commissioner had promised to call for me and go up to the laboratory, the telephone rang. It was Craig. "Walter, might I ask a favour of you?" he said. "When the commissioner comes ask him to stop at the Louis Quinze and bring Miss Bisbee up, too.
