Brenda's memory. and she shuddered.

face smiling there all that afternoon.

the lips unable to utter cry.
Il must put it out of my mind" said
Brenda to herself.
At the hospital there was little to be
learned; nothing to be done. An elder
ly man who seemed to be in authority
said: 1.-The child is still living. We
cannot predict the ultimate result Of
the injury as yet. You cannot see her
nor send any message. Leave your adj
dress. and we will communicate with
you in accordance with the event.
whatever it may be. 1t will be useless
to wait. If you are able to see her at
all. there will be no great pressure of
time"
Brenda rode to her home. and as the
cab drifted through the clamoring
whirlpools Of the Avenue she was
thinking that the white haired man
had spoken almost tenderly of Elsie as
1.-The child"
There was no mother in the Maclane
mansion. She had been dead ten
years. There was an aunt. an amiable
old lady for whom Brenda entertained
no little affection, but in the serious
affairs of life she would as readily
have taken counsel with her brother,
who was not yet -. Her father, for
so strong Il man as he was in the
world of finance. was Il weak man at
home. He had no gift of sympathy,
deficiency which may have accounted
for both the strength and the weak
ness. Brenda told him the story of
her adventures as it has been here set
forth. and he received it with painful
surprise and lively alarm.
"Why did you go there?" he ex-
claimed. What possible interest
could you have in this Wretched girl?"
MY dear father" she replied, with
an excellent counterfeit of smile
''let me remind you that my affection
for Mr.. Alden has been the one sin

happened to know Il man who had seen
Miss Maclane that afternoon. He Won
dered whether Miss Maclane could,
guess where 1t was that this man had
seen her. Upon Brendas acknowledg.
ing that she was unable to solve this
riddle Mr.. Barnes kindly gave her "A
clew.

were at precisely ten minutes to 81 he
said. why, that would settle it,"
Brenda smiled at the great astute-
ness of Mr.. Barnes. but she declined to
De led into review of her movements
that afternoon. Mr.. Haggerty then
struck into the conversation with the
remark that 1t was curious how people
could forget where they had been. aud
he instanced the case of a young lady
who had lost an excellent alibi in
criminal affair through the error of not
taking the police into her confidence
at an early stage of the proceedings.
while the facts were fresh in her mind.
Brenda suggested that perhaps the
lady did not fully trust the police,
whereupon Mr.. Barnes asserted warm
~ that that was the greatest mistake
possible to a human being.
Always trust the police" he said.
Guilty or innocent, it's the only thing
to do"
At the hospital it became immedi-
ately evident that Barnes and Hagger-
ty had encountered a mysterious and

tiently. land they're all afraid of him.
He is a headlong, reckless. unsafe
man. and | never should lave per-

Brenda smiled without effort this
time. She knew that her will would
dominate her fathers in any conflict.
and that he would permit her to have
her own way to the end of the story.
81 am not engaged to him any more"
said she. and her father admitted cor
daily that that was something to be
thankful for.
He has behaved most dshonorably

Mr.. Maclane was considerably sur
prised to observe as the meal progress

appetite. Having shrewd faculty OF
observation, he perceived at last that

Alden was standing by a barred win
dow looking out into q narrow, dark
court. with dead wall on the op-
posite side. There was nothing to at
tract a rational mans eye, but Alden
continued to stare even after Maclane
and the lawyer entered the room. He
turned. however, when Captain Neale
greeted the two men ty name. At the
sight of Alden's face Maclane. who
was advancing toward him. stopped
short. 1t is not the barrier between
them which keeps the spectator in the
menagerie from intruding upon the
privacy OF the Gagged tiger: it is the
look in the creatures eye.
Good evening, sir" said Alden
quietly. II am surprised to see you
here"
Maclane started at the sound of the
voice; it was so different from what he
expected.

There was silence Of half minute,
and then the lawyer got upon Ills feet.
1T seems to be perfectly simple" he
said at last
IF you say so. that settles it," re-
piled Neale rising and walking toward
the door. Sorry to have troubled you,

1t is not customary for New York po-

Brenda would have spoken. but the
horse suddenly started under the whip,
and the cab lurched on the rough pave
ment. The last glimpse of Alden lift
ing his hat while the huge policeman
gripped his left arm remained with
Brenda like persistent nightmare that
survives the dawn. The conventional
courtesy stuck in her mind. 1t was q
little picture of the old days, the time
of small pleasures and easy living, so
sharply brought to an end. Every
thing in life had suddenly become diff
ficult. Words must be weighed and
ones conduct guided by plan, not left
to mold itself into the forms Of mere
usage. And thus she came to think of
what she should do and say at the hos
pital. How meet the emergencies that
might arise? Had Elsie regained her
senses? Had she spoken, or did she lie
dead at that moment in some SMALL
bare room, watched by a stolid nurse
