CHAPTER XXXV.

For long time after the detective
had gone Griswold paced the floor of
the small office, treading out the
winepress of humiliation and defeat,
and trying, as a man may under such
hard conditions, to decide upon a
course of action which should be
fair to all and decently fair for him
self.
For time it seemed impossible to
draw any thread of sane procedure
out of the revulsionary tangle in
which Charlotte's confession had in
yolved him. He told himself bitterly
that she had failed him at the
crucial moment; that she had
stepped down from the pedestal of
the ideal to become a woman of
flesh and blood, loving, condoning
and forgiving everything in the man
to whom she had given her heart.
But very quickly he was made to
see the injustice of this; to see first
that he had deliberately gone about
to build wall of personality around
her Judgment, and then, by his own
confession of love, to apply a test
too severe for any loving woman to
withstand.
More than that, he saw that he
had played the hypocrite with her
even at the last moment. When he
had gone to her, nothing had been
. farther from his thoughts than a
confession of his guilt. The resolve
to tell her all had come suddenly,
and he had yielded to the impulse
on the spur of the moment. None
the less, he had let her believe that
It was well considered; that he had
determined beforehand upon the
course he had outlined in the brief
farewell.
Taking it all in all, he had an ex-
ceedingly bad half-hour after Griffin
left him, and out of the fiery fur
mace of it emerged a man altogether
different from the hot-hearted
proletary who had robbed the Bayou
bank. He had stood alone against
the worlds condemnation in that
act, and had thought it defensible
from an impregnable position forti-
fed by the rights of man. But now
he was made to see the act and it's
culpability through the msgnifying
glass of another's personality. He
had called it a social necessity, and
no sin; and yet the direct conse-
quences of it had been to destroy
his ideal of uprightness to make a
pure, God-fearing woman his accom-
plice after the fact.
9 While Griswold was thus fighting
his way blindly out of the darkness
INTO the light, the net in which he
had enmeshed himself was cut at
the point where it was the strong
est. When DIR. Farnham returned
from visit to the iron works neigh
borhood he found his daughter wait
ing for him at the gate.
"Please don't get out" she said

81 hired a girl to mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. I couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
got up after few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, didn't think much of that.
Even when q rash broke out on his
face wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral of my others had it when little,
and thought nothing about it.
"But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. I had never seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer He wouldn't
eat, and night after night 1 walked
the floor with him, weak as was.
Often had to stop because I felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain Of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
81 believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless.
Once in a while the itching seemed
to let up bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
1 didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
I told her had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at first. She gave me some
