Come back" he said with a new
note of decision, or the law shall
take its course. I am not through
yet. Sit down and listen quietly. I
am not talking to you to gain time.
Miss Lang has retained me to act
in her behalf. If you do not listen
to me shall be compelled to take
drastic action.
do you remember your early life
when you and your husband raked
and scraped to get the money that
was to be the foundation of your
success? Do you remember those
days, now that you have plenty? Job
Bulloit was spendthrift even then,
wasn't he? He's not now because
lit was your uncle who died and left
you those mines. It Is your money
that he spends as you grudgingly
dole it out. You would not let him
stay in business and earn money for
himself. You are trying to force
him to keep UP appearances as your
husband on $25 week. Is it any
wonder that temptation has found
him out?"
What do you mean?" she whis-
pered.
"That your husband has been
made thief by your penuriousness,
he Numbered, "and that to shield
himself he has permitted this poor
!; girl to rest under suspicion. That
was why he pretended to be her
champion-because he must have
scapegoat! Twenty-Five dollars a
week! Why, he bets more than that
in an afternoon.
every ingenious" she sneered.
"But what proof have you?"
Carson drew open drawer. With
cry the woman sprang forward.
miss Lang gave me description
of the missing things, and I had the
pawnshops searched. Three Of the
Ipawnbrokers have identified your
husband as the man who pawned
them. You have made your own
husband thief"
With choking sob the woman
sank into chair. Carson sighed to
Marie to help her. Then the girl
crept toward him and put her arms
about his neck.
There are some things" he said,
as he drew her toward him, where

the excited village and finally halted
at 'the old show ground"

laughed the detective. "This
business of picking a winner from
the dope sheet is too important to
sidetrack for petticoats."
The boy grinned as he put card
on the desk.
"The lady said she was sure you'd

Carson laid aside the chart book
and picked up the card.
1t had been five years since he had
seen Marie Lang-but not for a day
of that time had her face been alb

the chart book into drawer and

"There is so little to TELL" she
said, YEARLY. "You know when

Tightening lip, "but go on"
Fathers affairs were very badly
tangled, and Mrs. Bulloit, I don't

came to my rescue. Mr.. Bulloit was
able to save little out of the wreck,
: but not enough to live on, so they
suggested that I come and live with
them. You see L"

Bulloit is kindly but newly rich.
