Constance looked at the letter with
alarm. A bold declaration, those last
lines! And he asked for her advice,
evidently seeing nothing out of place
in it nor in the request for monetary
aid.
She sat a long time in deep thought.
and then, with sudden resolution,
dressed herself with exceeding plain
ness and went out on the street, walk
ing in the direction of the office of
Morley G. Stevens. Morley was the
first lawyer In the county, and Stevens
was scarcely less distinguished. They
were the first to whom Edes had APP
piled.
Mrs. Hamilton was we'll known to
them and highly esteemed. Both
members of the firm were, as it
CHANGED, in the office, and both won

She did not give them long to spec

"Ah! Strange. very strange! Edes

There is no good reason for your
