CHAPTER XVI.

CHAPTER XVI
The sleuth hounds of the law were in
full cry upon Sibley Fairbanks trail.
The reward of five thousand dollars,
which was still waiting for claimant
acted as a permanent spur to few tire
less spirits on the detective fierce. They
had at last got hold of positive clew,
which they proceeded to unravel with
patient skill. This clew was a seal with
the impress of a martlet upon it, and it
was attached to three inches of broken
gold chain of fine workmanship.
Day by day, hour by hour, the coil of
evidence heightened and strengthened,
until, to the one faithful heart that
clung to him through good and evil re-
port, his case looked hopeless indeed.
Given the established facts that Eu-
gene Norcross' wife at an earlier stage
of her career had been Sibley Fair
banks wife, that their connubial infe-
Ecity had been even greater than that
of average yoke mates, that Fairbanks
failure to support his wife properly had
led to. a temporary separation, that dur
ing that separation she had taken steps
to have her marriage declared null and
void, that subsequently she had reap
peared in society as Eugene Norcross
splendor loving and dashing wife, that
at about the same period of time Fair
banks returned to the city. in improved
circumstances, but naturally consumed
with a Jealous hatred of the woman
who had tossed him aside like misfit-
ting glove, and the groundwork of the
tragedy was complete.
1t only wanted the legal verbiege and
profound platitudes of contending coun-
sci to put this choice morsel into final
shape for rolling under the famished
tongue of public curiosity.
On the morning of the day set for his
trial, Sibley Fairbanks ate his break
fast with sullen stoicism. 1T may pos
slbly be the last one shall have the
privilege Of ordering to suit my own
TASTE" he said, with grim facetious-
ness, to Ida. pouring out his coffee,
white-faced, but steady of nerve and
resolute of heart. ''If it goes against
me,"-he cracked the shell of his soft
boiled egg with nice elaboration
return at once to Glenburnic, with the
child. and-and-if Lorimer seeks you
in spite of all. don't repulse him, my
dear. Promise me that, will you not?''
She did not answer him. She was
watching his deliberate movements
with strained attention, through a film
that made him look grotesquely unfa-
miliar.
''My poor Ida! my truest of women!
my hon-nearted sister. you are not
going to break down now?"

ton. In compliance with this request.
the Womans' Christian Temperance
Union Of Memphis will have a prayer
and concecration meeting at the home
of Mrs. J. f. Parish on Saturday after
noon. Dec. 23d, at 800. and on Sunday.
the 24th, at 1880 there will be q Memo
rial Crusade service held in the Pres
byterian Church. The public is cor
daily invited to be present at both Of
these meetings.
This crusade was first begun by the
women of Hillsborough. Ohio, and for
many mnnths the papers gave accounts
Of this crusade. Memphis caught the
spirit and some Of us true women went
D the saloons, praying that the sale on
keepers would quit their nefar ious bus
mess.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is the safest second thought"
of these crusades. This organization
has now forty departments of work. 1t
has belted the globe, sent nine mission
aries out, to 20 around the world. All
of these missionaries are women.
Every civilized and half civilized ma
ton has been visited by them and many
organizations have been effected, 80
that they now number 100000, besides
many thousands of children that are en-
rolled in the Loyal Temperance Legion
and Bands of Hope, and thousands of
men and women testify to what it has
done for them.
The public meeting OF the afternoon
of the 18th will be made interesting in
of the great work begun
twenty years ago. COMMITTEE.
