"Yes," resumed the speaker, "we must make old Shane do it. Once we get him in the proper frame of mind he'll testify just as we want him to. And we need some testimony to offset that of the widow and her girl.
"There are enough water-loaded clouds over there yet to dampen our enthusiasm." This proved to be true, for torrents of rain followed in the wake of the vanishing thunder clouds. But the wind had ceased, and the waves soon quieted. With more than a sigh of relief the Chelton girls and boys fell into the course made now by the Dixie, for in that boat Denny Shane was at the wheel.
Come morning, the gentleman is dead murdered. One of you two done it. It's for us to find out which unless the guilty party sees fit to confess." "I do! I confess!" cried Aunt Abby. "I did it, and I'm willing to go to prison!" She was clearly hysterical, and though her words were positive, they by no means carried conviction. "Now, that's all bosh," declared Shane.

"Sure they are! Oh, friend Shane, were you born yesterday? I thought detectives were a little more up-to-date than that!

Look here, Mr. Shane, I believe I could give you cards and spades and beat you at your little detective games!" "You mix me all up, with your ridiculous suggestions!"
"See to it that ye do!" commented his visitor meaningly.
