he was secretly holding out for him.
First, he obliged him to say that his
conversation with Miss futile had not
tended to smooth matters, that no rec
onciliation with his wife had followed
it and that in the thirty-six hours
which elapsed before he returned home
again he had made no attempt to
soothe the feelings of one who, accord
ing to his own story, he considered
hardly responsible for any extrava-
gances In which she might have in
obliged.
Then when this inconsistency had
been given time to sink into the minds
of the jury Coroner 2. increased the
effect produced by confronting Jeffrey
with witnesses who testified to the
friendly, II not loyet!ike, relations
which had existed between himself and
Miss futile prior to the appearance Of
| his wife upon the scene, closing with
| a question which brought out the de-
NAL, by no means new, that an en-
gagement had ever taken place be-
tween him and Miss futile and hence
that bond had been Cancelled by his
marriage with Miss Moore.
Some hint OF what the coroner con-
templated had already escaped him in
the persistent and seemingly fnconse
quent questions to which he had sub
jected this witness But the time had
now come for more direct attack,
and the interest rose correspondingly
high when the coroner, lifting again
to sight the scrap of paper containing
the few piteous lines so often quoted,
asked of the now anxious and agitated
witness If he had ever noticed any
similarity between the handwriting OF
{ his wife and that of Miss futile.
An indignant Nor was about to
; pass his lips when he suddenly checked
y himself and said more mildly: There

Mr.. Jeffrey replied hastily and with
just glance at the paper offered him:

The coroner pressed the slip upon
him.
Look at them carefully" he urged.
THE handwriting shows hurry and In
places is scarcely legible. Are you
ready to swear that these words were
written by your wife and by no
other?"
Mr.. jeffrey, with just slight con-
traction of his brow expressive of an
noyance, did as he was bid. He scan

scrap Of paper which he now took into
his own hand.
