No answer. He dare not see her.
Though his slender form shakes with an
emotion that almost causes him TO fall,
he makes no reply. He hears her drop
on her knees at the threshold and then
the beating of her hands against the
heavy oaken panels.

to his head and the room seems to whirl
about him. The revolver drops from his
nerveless fingers. He dashes to the door
and shoots back the bolt. The pitiful,

tries to extend the hand in which is

The detective, whose coming Kendall
had anticipated, hurries along the hall

to prevent the crime of self destruction.
He stands for moment appalled, at the
sight before him, believing thatahe is in

the open telegram lying close by Ken

But Kendall is not unaware of this
He sres it in their faces, hears it in
their voices, feels it in their presence,
knows it by the way they act. His home
is watched, he is watched at the office,
he is followed in the street. He is sus-

proved, but who cannot prove his innc-
cence.
Last night he walked the floor till
daylight saw him stagger and fall upon
a couch, where scarcely an hour passed
in fitful slumber. His fearful, anxious
wife came to him, as she had many
times before, and put Her arms about his
neck and tried to whisper words of en-

said, this cannot last always. Good

He shook his head sadly. "No, no,
