on the eve Of the Knevalls murder.
So much Helen knew in her wifely wis
dom, but she kept it to herself. Before
their marriage Guy had warned her that
his past would not bear scrutiny. Then
she had proudly declared that she tool him
c. he was, not as he had been; she would To-
remain constant in the faith that he might
be expiating but was not committing wrong.
Hence, IL h needed to be guarded, she
would guard him.
AS the days passed, Guys ~spasmodio
cheerfulness assured Helen that she had
lone the right thing at the right time.
Evidently, whatever he had feared from
the absence OF the link extinguisher being
noticed was averted by her story that 1t
had been disposed Of as junk.
A chance remark Of the maid on their
hotel floor, however, 20 the effect that q
decent looking man had been talking with
some OF the help about the old iron trumpet
which had been on the mantel up to a few
weeks ago alarmed her.
What should she do? II the authorities
had come to suspect that their link ex-
tinguisher was the n with which the
murder had been committed, then Guy
would surely, sooner or later, be forced
into the publicity he dreaded.
1t could easily be shown that he had
come to own that very day. Why. in the
end they might even charge him with that
awful crime, though she didn't believe,
she was positive, he had never seen Mr.,
Knevalls In his life. OF course, It was not
that dear, good Guy, who wouldn't harm q
ny-but the secret might be divulged; he
might be disgraced, ruined. What should
she do?
As a result OF her intense reflection, Mrs
Bonynge hurried 70 call upon her former
guardian, Judge Marcellus, at his offices In
the Aerial Building.

Il was mistaken about our link extinguisher
