Such an outburst from Miriam was
so unusual that Tor a ONE poth
Shirley and Challoner were
aback. 1t was clear that unknown TO
them, Miriam had made up her nina
to some course of action; in fact' 50
completely had she taken the SITUATION
in hand that it was easy to imagine
THAI she had forgotten thai she was III
the prosecutors office and not in her
own home.
Fierce anger burned in Shirley's I'M
pulsive heart, as glaneins at Mursa-
troyd. she perceived that he was as nm
massive as ever, apparently taking ht>
tie interest in the scene that was peihs
enacted before him. A few moments
elarsed before she could bring herself
TO agree to Miriam's demand.
"Very WE'LL assented Shirley, wen
wait outside, but don't keep us waiting
long And, as reluctantly h EFT the
room with Challoner, she said in a
loud whisper so that Murgatroyd could
hear it: what on earth can Miriam
want to see him alone for?'
For answer, Challoner merely shook
his head.
Left alone with the prosecutor Miriam
asked permission to lock the door. ana
although surprised at such a request,
Murgatroyd went over to the door
locked it. Then, motioning politely iof
her to be seated. he took a CHAIR OPP
posjte to her and asked severely.
Mrs. Challoner, what do you mean
by this? Dr. you recall the compass
made nearly six years ago."
ayes. yes,' she answered, in a mai
ner that showd plainly her desire te
coneiliate him.
"Your husband went Free" Murga-
troyd continued, land when we made
our compact, we did not n whether
he was innocent or not, whether 1t was
within the power of the law to hold
him or to free him.. But | kept my part
of the compact in good faith-innocent
or guilty, he finally went free"
Eyes, yes, / know" she returned
eagerly.
"Your part of the compact was ST.
lence-you promised to keep silent-and
yet, twice in this building o have
broken your word, and heaven knows
how many times outside" he concluded
solemnly.
Yes, yes she answered contritely,

her to go on; but she saw there only

has done these last five years-what
a man he has made of himself? Why

you with that concrete affair, and
She paused to see the effect of her
words; but again they had been re-
ceived with apparent indifference
Nevertheless. she said proudly: Law

tapping the desk before her with her
fingers, ''and Lawrence a get that
hospital job. He wants it-wants it
badly, for he knows he would do Ii
right. Mr.. Murgatroyd, it would be

She paused, while her mind struggled
helplessly to find the fitting words.with
which to frame the difficult request
that was to come.
Lawrence needs a bondsman to get
that job-a man with one hundred
thousand dollars to go on his bond
And you know it is very hard, par
ticularly hard for him to find a man
who is worth that much to go on his
bond-a bond hat he'll do the work,
and dc it right. Oh. Mr.. M~urgatroyd,
would it be asking too much of you
to
Murgatroyd rose and gazed. at her
steadily.
And you are asking me to go on a
hundred thousand-dollar bond for your
husband?"
The tone of his voice told Miriam
what she had to expect, n her heart
grew chill, but she braced herself to
go on:
Yes she answered; and her voice
was very gentle and very winning as
she proceeded: And if he could get q
little money, just a little to buy ma
terials. We have saved FIVE hundred
dollars. but that will not go far. oh
he has worked so hard. and I don
want him to get discouraged! He
wouldn't ask these things for himself
won't your she asked with a war
smile. "And loan him a few thousand
dollars to start the job?"
There was a long silence. finally
Murgatroyd spoke in an even voice:
"You want me to go on his bond ant
loan him some thousands of dollars
too?''
Mrs. Challoner inclined her head.

CHAPTER XVIII.

NM EANWHILE, outside in the
waiting-room, Lawrence Challo-
ner walked dismally to and fro.
For, notwithstanding. that in the last
hour a great joy had come to him,
this room had awakened memories of
that other occasion, when, likewise,
| waiting for Murgatroyd, his life had
hung in the balance. A wave of pity
took possession of him-pity for HIM
self for his then mistaken views of
life, pity for the little wife, who had
stood so nobly by him; and, suddenly,
he quickened his steps, as If impatient
for the time ITO come when he could
make amends for the great wrong he
had don her. In a measure, entering
into his thoughts, though her own
were somewhat complex, Shirley Blood
good, from where she sat in a far
corner of the room, also waited ner-
yously for the door to open. And it
was thus tha Miriam Challoner came
upon them, her eyes glistening, a happy
smile on her face.
Laurie, Shirley" she stammered,
"Mf. Murgatroyd says-no, come, he'll
tell you himself And taking their
willing hands into hers, she led them
back into the prosecutors private
office, from which they a been SO
rnceremoniously evicted a little while
before.
Miriam Challoner's intimation that
good news would be forthcoming was
indeed rather vague; nevertheless, un-
consciously, boil were affected by her
mood, and came into the room, smil-
ing. Perhaps 1t affected Murgatroyd,
too, for it was with his most genial
manner : that the hitherto imperturb-
able prosecutor, from where he sat on
the edge of the table, his arms folded,
singled out Shirley, and said:
Ready for the lynching, Miss Blood
goodg."
A look of surprise crossed Shirley's
features, but she scorned to answer.
Murgatroyd was now standing, his
oack still to the table.
would you mind locking that door
he called to Challoner; and turning to
the ladies'. Mrs. Challoner, take that
chair. please pointing to one
est to him, land, Miss B~loodgood, that,
Indicating one next to Miriam's.
Meantime. Challoner had returned
and was waiting. hesitatingly, near the
door.
aren't you going to join the family
circle, Laurie?' the prosecutor said
lightly.
Challoner her came forward, and
placed his chair between the two
women.
Murgatroyd's manner suddenly be-
came chilly, stern, in short, onc more
he was the prosecutor of the pleas
Addressing Challoner, whom he looked
we'll in the eye. he began;
Mrs. Challoner has asked me to &c
on a hundred thousand dollar construc-
tion-bond for you; also. to loan yor
considerable money!
There was a dramatic pause. And
except for a questioning glance from
Challoner and Shirley, which found 9
ready answer in the eyes of Miriam
his listeners did not move nor speak.
There 1t Is" Murgatroyd
in the same business-like tone; and
stepping aside from the table, revealed
two old, battered, d~ust-covered, sheet
iron boxes.
Those bcxesi' exclaimed Mrs. Chal-
Toner. who was visibly excited. What
is in them? she asked in bewilder-
ment.
