just described. he had started out to
do his duty by James Bansemer be-
cause he was in his hire, and he felt it
still his duty to cover the tracks of his
master as best he could. He knew
that he was jeopardizing his own safe
ty. The obstinate cunning Of his ma
ture insisted that the man he had
watched was Bansemer, although his
brief glimpse Of the f%ugitive's face dis
couraged that belief.
The gaunt clerk kept his chin well
covered with his great muller; the
broad collar Of his ulster was turned
up about his face. The rapid plan that
dashed into his mind comprehended
but two things, the effort to restore
life to Frances Gable and the hope Of
escaping without being recognized. He
felt that she had not been in the water
long enough to drown Every hope de-
pended upon the force Of the blow that
he imagined had been delivered.

tragedy.

of the house assisted their host and

necessary things. broom gave the
commands which sooner or later re-
solved themselves into excited, wrathy

up" as the newspapers felt justified in
calling it, He did not 90 to his Office
the next day nor the next, but haunt
ed her door, sleepless, nervous, held
close by dread. A dozen times at least
he sought admittance to her room. but
was always turned away, c~ursing the
doctor and the nurses for their inter-
ference.
His worst fear, however. was that
his wife would not forgive him. Not
the dread of exposure nor his own
shame or remorse, not ever the pun
ishment that the law might inflct,
could be compared to the fear of what
might be her lifelong hatred. He
grew to feel that the doctor. the
nurses. the servants, looked upon him
with strange, unfriendly though re
spectful eyes. In his heart he believed
that his wife had cursed him in their
presence. laying bare his part in the
unhappy transaction.
At last the suspense became unbear-
able, He had noticed a slight change
in James manner and at once attrib-
uted it to something his wife had
said, for Jane had been allowed in the
sick room. The discovery that she
was not his child had not as yet struck
deep into his understanding. In a
vague sort Of way he realized that she
was different, now that he knew, but
it was impossible for him to consider
her In any other light than that of the
years gone by. The time would come
when the full realization would cut
into his heart more deeply than now,
but at present a calamity Of his own
making was forcing all other troubles
into the background. His greatest de-
sire was to reach his wife's side, to
know the worst that could come of his
suit for forgiveness.
The evening Of the second day he
swore that he would see her-and
alone. They admitted him, and he
entered trembling in every nerve. She
was lying, white and haggard. in her
bed, her back toward him. He paused

saw her shudder violently. 1t was
