CHAPTER XvH.-CoNr1NuEp,


From the very first moment saw
Imogene Trenholme, was repealed! l
had suspicious Of her before had been
here week, and her conduct in this
chamber, somnolent though she was,
confirmed me. This afternoon l saw
her put slip of paper in the hollow Of
the old tree at the end Of the garden,
and took the liberty to examine 1t. l
found 1t was an appointment to meet
some one in this room at eleven o'clock.
I kept the tryst. So did the others. l
did not intend to kill this Rudolph, but
he made me, or rather, he saved me the
trouble, he killed himself. And five
days ago, anticipating denouement OF
some kind, sent for my father. He
will be here to-day, think"
Ralph's mother crept timidly to his
side.
my son, what will you do with her?"
she said looking at Imogene.
1.-THE law shall take its course" he
answered sternly.
But remember, o Ralph! remem-
Der she is woman"
And Marina whom she murdered
was a woman, also! Mother, do not
talk to me! My heart is changed to
stonew
He took Imogene by the arm as he
spoke, and led her up stairs to a room
on the third story, which had once been
used as a chemical laboratory, but
which had long since been given up to
the rats and spiders. Into this he
thrust her, and drew the bolt on the
outside.

forehead. The sadness did not go out
of his eyes.
II have ceased to think of that as
among the possibilities"
But I tell you it is possible" she
answered, radiant with the words-"O,
Lynde, they have discovered the real
murderer
1T cannot be! Agnes, tell mel"
"Lynde, there was an eyewitness OF
that murder! He died last night at the
Rock, and with his last breath he made
confession which clears you from oil
stain, and fixes the guilt upon the wife
of my brother"
Gods ways are not our ways" he
said reverently. II would have spared
her. When she did this deed I loved
her. Her beauty had intoxicated me.
I would have died for her, and counted
1t bliss. And then she asked me to
keep her secret. Worlds would not
have tempted me to betray her. But
Agnes, the moment I knew what she
had done, all the absorbing passion l
felt for her melted away-I shuddered
at the thought of her! But she was
nobly born, beautiful woman, and l had
loved her. And because of this, l could
not speak the words that would free
me and bind her. When I knew that
your brother married her, then for the
first time l was convinced that l had
done wrong; but it was then too late
to remedy my error, and I would go
silently to the grave, carrying her
dreadful secret with me!'
Twill you not read the pardon? 1t
is written in the governors own hand.
Helen would not let them wait to go
through with a formal process of re-
leasing you, but she must have the par
don at once"
She held it up before him. He took
1t, but the letters swan before his eyes.
He could not read a single line. He
dropped his forehead on the shoulder
Of Agnes in sheer weakness.
90, Agnes! Agnesw he said, in a
choked voice, God is too good!
She stroked his hair tenderly.
1--WE want you up at the Rock, Lynde.
My mother and brother both sent for
you. Will you not Gomez"
His joyous face grew sad.
mot today, Agnes. l will wait lit
tie. / cannot forget that your brother
is smitten by the blow which opens my
prison doors. l will go to my desolate
home first. By-and-by I will come to
the Rock. You understand me, Agnes"
II think 1 do. o, my poor Ralph!
My heart aches for him.
They passed out of the prison to-
gether. The warden shook Lynde's
hand heartily.
God bless you, ladw he cried, with
a suspicious moisture in his gray eye.
II never thought you did it, and I'm
glad it's all found out. There be bright
days in store for you YETI
Lynde wrung the honest hand, but
he was too full for speech. He walked
on with Agnes until they reached the
great pine by the shore. There their
paths diverged. He took her hands
in his and looked into her eyes. No
word was spoken. He stood thus mo-
ment, then he stopped and touched the
shining hair above her forehead with
his lips. And then turning his back
upon her. lie walked in the direction of
the deserted cottage he had once called
home.

After washing bottles, if they still
have musty odor, light match or
two and hold them in each, after
which wash again. If they do not
smell perfectly fresh, then put small
piece of charcoal in and let it remain
for a while. A potato chopped up in
small pieces and we'll shaken in bot
ties will help to clean them. Shot
should not be used for wine bottles, as
it sometimes sticks, and is not good
to swallow either whole or dissolved.

GOLD Al CRIPPLE CREEK.
The Best Way to Get There Il Over
the Santa Fe Route.

The fabulously rich gold mining district
of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is attracting
hundreds of people. By spring the rush
bids fair to be enormous. That there is an
abundance of gold there is demonstrated
beyond doubt. Fortunes are being rapidly
made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the Santa Fe
Route, the only standard guage line direct to
the camp. Through Pullman sleepers and
chair cars. The Santa Fe lands you right
in the heart OF Cripple Creek.

Gay Bicycle Stockings.

When low shoes are worn the bicycle
stocking becomes matter of import
ant consideration. They are all OF
thick wool, and the newest show the
gay Tartan plaid colors. The suede
gloves with ventilation holes pierced
in the palms are the latest novelty
for cycling wear. Suede gloves stitched
on the inside to prevent rubbing the
seams open are well worth buying.

A MURDER NEAR ARDMORE, l. T.
ARDMoRE, |. IT,, April AT a late
hour Thursday night Sam Jackson
shot and killed Pat Watkins at the
jackson ranch, some 20 miles west Of
here Both are young men 90 years
old. The trouble. caused by bad
whisky and former grudge, arose
from protest of Watkins regarding

boys. jackson shot twice, using Wat
kins own pistol. After the killing ht
left, taking with him two Winchester'
and pistol. Officers left here yester
day morning for the scene Of the mur
der, but at this hour have not returned
Jackson may be hard to catch, as th'
country around there is perfec
thicket. Both families are highly con
nected, and both have Indian blood IL
their veins, consequently the territor.
and Paris courts will not have juris
diction over the offense.
