"Ach," she said depreciatively, "I didn't do a thing but steady you up

a bit. I'm glad I happened to come up and see you. Go tell them if

they're hunting for a thief they're looking in the wrong direction when

they look at Martin Landis! Hurry! So you can get back before they

think you've run away. I'll be so anxious to hear how much the

Mertzheimers have to do with this. I can see their name written all

over it!"

and Amanda went on to the Reist farmhouse. She, too, was smiling as she

went. She had read between the lines of the man's story and had seen

there the moving finger writing above the name of Isabel Souders,

"_Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin_."
