startled inquiry and then to dreadful
certainty. Presently he said, / m a voice
so stern that she scarcely recognized it
as his own:
Tell me, is It true? If will DENY
1t, will take your word against that
of the whole world"
1t would have been SO easy to say
NO" and Alicia could have said it
readily enough to any person on earth
except her husband, but something
seemed to rise within her to forbid the
lie. and she remained silent; she either
could not or would not speak. All
around them was the silence of the
woods, n they were themselves so
still that a robin, more daring than his
fellows, hoped close by their feet and
chirruped a sweet little song. After a
long pause Senator March repeated, In
the same voice:
viii you not speak? Am 1 to be-
leye-' He stopped, Inc Alicia longed
to speak, but as before no words came
to her.
She rose as if TO walk towards the
carriage, but h swayed so that her
husband took her arm to support her,
Then they vent up the hill and, enter
ing the waiting carriage. were driven
towards the city. Not a word was
spoken during the homeward drive
When they reached the asphalted
streets Senator March directed the
coachman to drive to the smart hotel
where Colegrove had a splendid suite of
rooms. Alicia's trembling heart sank
lower; she thought 1t a fearful biunder
that Capo%or NT1Aat.s~
be seen at Colegrove's hotel, but Sem
ator March had never in his life con-
cealed anything, n he was too
stunned to adopt any Of the small
precautions of fear. When they
reached the hotel he alighted and said
with somewhat of his usual compo-
sure to the footmap:
Mrs. March will drive home,r and
then, lifting his hat to Alicia. he
walked into the hotel.
Entering the lift. the Senator went
straight to Colegrove's apartments.
He opened the door without knocking
and turned into the study of the suite,
and there found Colegrove sitting at
a large table, covered with books and
papers, with a couple of the greatest
railways lawyers in America sitting
with him. March bowed to them po-
litely. and then. without sitting down,
said coldiy to C~olegrove:
II must be allowed to interrupt these
gentlemen for a few minutes while /
speak with you alone"
All three men had risen as Senator
March entered; he was too important
a mai to be received with other than
the highest respect, nor did CoIegrove
make the slightest objection to leading
the way into the next room, The light
of battle was in his eye. and 1t was
plain that he was prepared to fight.
After closing the door he said at once:
You have. Of course. seen the story
in the afternoon newspapers? Much
OF it. | need hardly say. is a batch of
lies. u part OF 1t we have no reason 70
and the rest can be explained.

tered the luxurious little room and
found 1t empty, but through the door
leading into her bedroom he caught
sight Of Alicia walking up and down
the floor. She had not removed her hat
or even her gloves, and was nervously
twisting the handle of her lace paraso1
as she walked restlessly about the room.
The bedroom, if possible, was more
luxurious than the boudoir. The red
silk hangings, which had once belonged
to the Empress Eugene, had been paid
for, not by Senator March's money. a.
ne had imagined. but with money made
by the alleged sale of stocks by Col6-
grove. The mantel clock and candei-
abra, real Louis Quinze gems, had como
from the same source, as had the great
siiver-framed mirror on the dressings
table. which reflected Alicia's pale face.
Senate March entered the room with-
out ceremony and took from his breast
pocket the packet OF letters and docu-
ments in Alicia's handwriting, and
handed them to her silently. She took
them in her trembling hands, glanced
at them n then gave them back e
him. His face, although perfectly coma
posed, had the same strange
about 1t which she had noticed as they
sat together on the bank of the stream
in the park. For the first time in her
life Alicia March felt q desire to throw
wide the doors of her soul and make 4
confession. She was frightened at the
impulse. and would have restrained ii
but her will power. usually so strong.
was as feeble over this impulse as fha
hand of a child over a maddened horss.
So far she had not spoken a xtsrd since
the moment. less than an hour before.
when the discovery had peer made, but
now she burst forth:

breathlessly, and then went on. hfund-

mained silent for a few minutes. Alicia
turned her agonized face away from
him. covering it with her hands. Pres

voice:

HOW ONE GIRL MAKES MONEY.

Raising Japanese spaniels is the way
one Connecticut farmers daughter
has solved the problem Of earning
money while remaining at home and
helping with the homework. She
cleared $500 the first year and almost
double that amount the second, and
she looks forward to doing still better
in 1910. She learned that the best way
to get the dogs was to buy them from
sailors. who picked them up in Japan
and brought them to America for the
a k of making money. The highest
price she has received so far has been
500 for pups about as perfect as the
most fastidious exhibitor could demand.
The lowest price was s21 for a female
of no striking excellence, though she
was Enthusiastically pure bred.

ing tixedly at Colegrove.
You wish to know about your wife's
transactions with me?" calmly asked
Coiegrove, carrying the war into Africa
according TO his invariable custom.
Senator March remained silent; he
could not bring himself TO put
into words what he had come to
next room, and, returning in a
minute. brought a tin box, which
be opened. Out Of it he took
every paper and letter which he had re-
ceived from Alicia March. and every
note in which she acknowledged re-
ceiving money from him. Then from &
little book he read the statement OF
every dollar he had ever paid Alicia

room without returning the papers
Tomorrow said March without q

I shall acknowledge every charge
against me. I shall also claim that
every penny which went out of your
pocket to my wife was paid to me,
and i shall resign my yea in the Sem

"You are a madman!" cried Cole

1T is the sanest act of my life" an
swered Senator March.
There is but one thing to do" per-

everything and call for proof"
Senator March smiled slightly.
II think, Mr.. C~olegrove, we have
different standards. ] see in your eye
that you mean to attack me in order
to get these letters and documents.
Well, il would be of no use, because
my confession and resignation win not
call for proof
Colegrove, for once staggered and at
a loss, allowed Senator March to open
the door into the next room, where the
two layewrs stood talking in bow
voices. The m for using force
was lost and, besides, the senator's
promise of confession and resignation
put so new a phase on the case that
C~olegrove was b~ewildered.
