unusual proceedings and by the effect
which they seemed to have on the lady
just mentioned, so she WINS ready to
notice that Mrs. Jeffrey's hand shook
like that of an old and palsied woman
when she reached out for the tray.
Gladly would Loretta have caught
one glimpse of her face, but it was hid

answer n single one of her questions
She simply closed her door and kept 1t

Tuttle, coming into the hall, ordered
the house TO be closed for the night.
Then the long shut door softly swung
open; but, before any one could reach
1t, 1t was again pulled to and locked.
The next day brought no relief. Miss
Tuttle, who had changed greatly dur
ing this unhappy day and night, sue
ceedcd no better than before in getting
access to her sister, nor could Loretta
gain the lenst word from her mistress
till toward the latter part of the after
noon, when that lady, ringing her bell,
gave her first order.
"a substantial dinner" she cried.
And when Loretta, greatly relieved,
brought up the required meal she was
astonishcd to find the door open and
herself hidden to enter The sight
which met her eyes staggered her.

you see me here again shall be quite

and Loretta said she seemed to have
difficulty in finding the right word here
-"hOw childish have been"
OF course Loretta promised, but she
is not sure that she would have had
the courage TO keep all this to herself
II she had not heard Mrs. Jeffrey stop
in Miss Tuttles room on her way out.
That relieved her and enabled her to
go downstairs to her own supper with
more appetite than she had thought
ever to have again. Alas, 1t was the
last good meal she was able to eat for
days! In three hours afterward a
man came from the station house with
the news Of Mrs. Jeirrey's suicide In
the horrible old house in which she
had been married only two weeks be-
fore.
AS this had been a continuous mar
rntive and concisely told, the coroner
had not interrupted her. When ut this
point II little gasp escaped Miss futile
and q groan broke from Francis JEFF
frey's hitherto sealed lips the feelings
of the whole assemblage seemed to
find utterance. a young wlfe's misery
eliminating in death on the very spot
where she had been so lately married!
What could be more thrilling or ap-
peal more closely to the general heart
of humanity? But the cause of that
misery! This was what every one pres
ent was eager TO have explained. This
is what we now expected the coroner
to bring out But instead of continu-
ing on the line he had opened up he
proceeded to ask:
"Where We're you when this officer
brought the news you mention?"
"In the hall, sir. I opened the door
for him."
"And to whom did he first mention
his crrandT'

just before him and was standing at

Mr.. jeffrey, whose hand shook where
he pressed 1t against his forehead. But
neither uttered sound nor looked up
when the next witness was summoned.
This witness proved to be Loretta,
who, on hearing her name called,
evinced great reluctance to come for
ward. After the coroner had ELECTED
her name and the position she held In
Mr.. Jeffrey's household he asked
whether her duties took her into Mrs.
Jeffrey's room. Upon her replying that
they did, he further inquired If she
knew Mrs. Jeffrey's rings. and could
say whether they were all to be found
on that lady's toilet table after the
police came IN with news Of her death.
The answer was decisive. They were
all there; her rings and all the other
ornaments she was in the daily habi,
of wearing, with the exception of hel
watch. That was not there.
did you take up those rings?"
mo, SIR"
did you see any one else take them
up?

Every well, Loretta. Sit down again
till we hear what Durbin has to say
about these rings"
And then the man hated came for.
ward, and, though shrank from nc.
knowledging 1t even to myself, could
but observe how strong and quiet and
self possessed he seemed and how de.
cisive was his testimony.
But 1t was equally brief. He had
taken up the rings and he had looked
ut them; and on one, the wedding ring
he had detected slight stain of blood
He had called Mr.. Jeffrey's attention
to 1t, but that gentleman had made nc
comment.
This remark had the effect of con.
centrating general attention upon Mr.
Jeffrey. l'ut lie seemed quite oblivi
GUS Of it; his attitude remained un
changed, and only from the quick
stretching out and withdrawal Of Miss
Tuttle's hand could it be seen that
anything had been said calculated t.
touch or arouse this man. The coroner
cast an uneasy glance in his direction
then he motioned Durbin aside and re
called Loretta.
And now l began to be sorry for the
girl. 1t is hard to have ones weak
nesses exposed, especially If one is
more foolish than wicked. But there
was 10 way of letting this girl Off with.
