inquiry upon th officer who entered
hastily from an adjacent room.

page before him. Then he raised them
to shoot a curious glance at Bob, but
only to quickly center his attention
upon Cleo Saturn.
“The big car is registered in your
name, it is your car. Were you driv-
ing at the time of the accident?"
There was something almost frantic
in the eagerness with which Theo re-
sponded.
“No, no, sir. I wasn’t near the wheel
I had given it up. I was very tired, sir
I gave up the wheel a long time before
the accident, away back along the
road. It must have been five ten. fif-

"Hold on—you were in the car,

never started."
“Oh, yes, sir, I was in the car. but I
wasn’t driving. I’m an awful careful

“So you said,” interrupted the ser-

What I want to know is, who was driv-
ing?”
For an instant Theo seemed upon
tiie point of speaking, Then, with au
effort, he sealed his lips, opening them
only when the keen gaze of the ser-
geant seemed to bore into his inner-
most soul, to mutter nervously, if un-
grammatic. “It wasn’t me, sir, it was-
n’t me."
Now the stern gaze of the sergeant
shifted to rest upon Diane. Bereft of
her usual coolness and composure, she
seemed to shrink, a tremblipg, terrified
girl, under its severity.
“Were you?” he demanded.
Apparently she could not meet ids
eyes. Her own swept the room as if
in frantic search of aid in her plight.
Suddenly she shooq her head wildly.
“No, no!” she cried. Then quick as
a flash, turned upon Bob, and her ac-
cusation rang out unmistakable in its
clearness, “He was!”
Again that, same air of perplexity
seemed to have claimed Bob, At her
words he turned towards her and look-
ed straight into her eyes. It was a
strange look. There was bewilderment
and pain in it. The world had changed
so suddenly for him. His happy, care-
free life seemed very far away.
But she, who had merely related a
fact, seemed to flinch and quail under
his glance, the poise and self assurance
which had been such a part of her
being forgotten.
With never a word Bob turned from
her.
And still, as if not fully satisfied
with what she had done, Diane turned
back to Theo and grew almost hyster-
ical in the persistence of her accusa-
tion.
“It was he, it was Bob who was driv-
ing! Wasn’t it, Theo? You know he
was driving don’t you, Theo?”
Under her questions Theo shifted
nervously upon his feet, shot a fright-
ened glance at Bob and finally stared
at the stern visage of the ofifeer of
the law as if fascinated.
“Yes—it was—” His voice trailed
off into a whisper.
As if satisfied, the sergeant frowned
and gave his attention to Bob.
“If that woman dies, Mannerlng, it
will take all your pull to get you out
of this mess.”
(To Be Continued)
AN ORDINANCE
requiring the taking out of a special
license for the operation of any motor
vehicle or animal drawn vehicle for
hire, within the City Limits of the City
of Yoakum, setting forth the amount
of such license fee, and the conditions
under which such license may be is-
sued and revoked, providing a penalty,
and declaring an emergency.
Whereas a great deal of confusion
now exists in the licensing of vehicles

ship on those engaging in the trans-
fer business, creating an emergency:
