the boat sank, lack was held down
by it.
But the cord which Sadie had taken
from his wrist was quite different in
texture from any that would ever be
used for the sheet of a main-sail. If
the boat were to be raised, she knew
that that rope would be found intact.
But it lay in the deepest part of the
lake; and as no one thought of ques-
tioning the word of a member of Par
lament who had nearly lost his life in
his efforts to save his Young friend,
not a suggestion was made to raise
the boat.
Sadie held her tongue. She could not
leave Eva's bedside to attend the in
quest, and although the question was
raised whether or not any cord was
round the wrist when the body was
brought ashore-a point of dispute at
the time-the parks on the flesh were
taken as sufficient proof, and a verdict
of accidental death "a returned.
But when she had decided in her own
mind hat there had been foul play,
Sadie found herself confronted by the
question as to what she ought to do.
Long and carefully she pondered this
and the terrible problem it suggested
as to Dorrison's next action.
~Broadstone was bad enough, but Dor
rison a hundred times more dangerous.
She believed she could see his ultimate
object. He was a shrewd. far-seeing
man, and utterly reckless of the means
by which he secured any desired end
And his end now Was to succeed to the
title and estates. And not those alone,
but the immense fortune also which
might now go with them.
Jacks wealth would now go to Eva.
Her will left everything to Broadstone;
and these two lives would stand be-
tween Dorrison n his coveted purt
pose.
1t was probably at his suggestion that
Broadstone had announced Jacks death

Y. W. c. A. START CAMPAIGN.

Instead of starting a campaign this
winter to raise 5000, 900 for a new build
ing, the managers of the Young
Women's Christian Association have
decided to raise the amount asked to
$3.50. 900, as it is stated an adequate
building cannot be built for less. The
site will be that of the present Howell
homestead, in Broad street. Several of
the members have returned from a
Western trip and report that the local
association must eXpend about $780,
900 on a building which will meet the
needs of the city for generations TO
come. :
Miss Cara May Adams, the general
secretary, has been placed in charge of
the campaign, and Miss Helen Davis,
State secretary for New York n New
Jersey, will be in Newark for a month
directing the work. The. campaign fer
money will open February 20. Miss
Adams will be assisted in routine work
by Miss Marion Wilson, a Barnard Col
lego graduate, who is taking up the
work.
Members of the association most con-
cerned in the movement are: Mrs.
Richard c.. Jenkinson, the president;

way: and then-the turn of the camp

Soaeng as Eva's death was worth a
million and a half of none to Broad

There was but one means by which
her safety could be secured. Sadie must
avow herself Broadstone's wife.
But then came the question of Eva's
happiness. That Don Stuart would
gladly welcome the chance of making
her his wife. Sadie did not doubt, any
more thar hat Eva loved him..
Both in her delirium and in the in
tervals of consciousness, she spoke con-
stantly of Don. At times she forgot
altogether her marriage and was happy
with her old lover. Sadie came to be-
lieve, indeed. that the loss of her lover
had so preyed secretly upon her mind
that it was but little less responsible
for the collapse than her brothers
death.
But whether she would ever consent
to marry Don after the tragedy of her
marriage. which was no marriage, with
Lord Broadstone was a question Sadie
could not answer. OF this she must first
convince herself; and to do this she re-
solved upon the hazardous step of
bringing Don down to the Towers.
The means for this were readily
found. she secured one of the cards OF

to Don.

CHAPTER XII.
A Hazardous Experiment..

T.SOR two days Eva lay dangerously
i'll. The shock of Jacks death
- and the brutal bluntness with
which Lord Broadstone had told her
of it, caused a complete collapse with
a high temperature, and the doctor
feared brain fever.
She would lave no one near her out
Sadie; and thus all thought of the lat
ter's leaving the. Towers was out IF
the question. DR.. Bradford, a man of
precision and force, put his foot down
and forbade it absolutely.
l n the long hours of her t~ireless
watch Sadie had ample time to think
over the embarrassing and dangerous
perplexities of the situation, and to
piece together many of h loose
threads of the tangled web.
She had no opportunity to make
further inquiries; care for the living
excluded all thought of avenging the
dead. But she came to the firm con-
clusion that Jacks death was no ac-
cident,- and that what had appeared
to be a tussle for the tiller of the boat
had been in reality a struggle caused
by Dorrison fastening piece of cord
to the boys wrist, in order that when
the boat overturned Jack should be
held under and drowned.
Here, too, was the reason for Dor
rison's apparently. frantic and heroic
efforts to save the boy. 1t was no
heroism, but rather the desperate eff
forts of a guilty man to prevent the
evidences of his guilt coming to light.
Dorrison's story was that to get bet
ter command of the craft Jack had
fastened the sheet of the main-sail
round his wrist-and he declared at the
inquest that he had often seen him do
this before. The result was that when

SYNOPSIS.

John Fetherby discovers that his 1S,year-oid
daughter, Eva, is about to elope WITH Don
Stuart. Petnerby, who is a millionaire, frowns
upon the young mars suit and forces the gni
into a marriage with Lord Broadstone' an
English proligate.
Gilbert Dorrison, a cousin Of the nobiemdn'
tells the latter that his first wife. an American
woman, is still living. and warns MN
against committing higamy. Broadstone's first
wile's name was Sadie. and he had tried 20
poison her. Gilbert, incensed by his COUSINS
treatment, goes to America to get Sadie.
She had in the meantime inherited a large
fortune and taken the name of her uncle,
benefactor. Porlock. She goes to England and
gets a position as lady's maid in Broadstone's
home.
Sadie becomes acquainted with the servants,
especially Gardner, Dorrison's valet. and
learns a great deal. The valet makes a pro-
posal to Sadie. but she laughingly refuses.
lack Petherby, brother of Eva, who has a
fortune of a million. is drowned under sus-
picious circumstances. Dorrison previously had
intimated to Lord Broadstone that 1t would be
q good thing for the latter's fortunes If the
young man should die.

since she had announced her resolve
TO go to the grave. and her one remark
on the way to the cemetery was: You
