"Oh, it's all right!" the girl cried as he came into the yard.

She was worried because the thing may come out in the papers and her name brought into it. She's mighty much upset about Isabel Souders, didn't care a picayune about Martin Landis."
"I'm just going down to Reists' a while. I met Miss Souders a few weeks ago and thought it would be all right for me to call. The country must seem quiet to her after living in the city." "Of course it's all right, Martin," agreed his mother. "Just you go ahead." But after he left, Mrs. Landis sat a long while on the porch, thinking about her eldest boy, her first-born.
Go out and get some air and come back to-morrow morning. I'll stand for you in the meantime. I believe in you." "Thank you, sir," Martin managed to blurt out between dry lips that seemed almost paralyzed. "I'll be back in the morning. Hope you'll find I'm telling the truth." He walked as a somnambulist down the street. In his misery he thought of Isabel Souders. He would go to her for comfort.
