CHAPTER XVI.
The Doctors Arrival.

The prison doors had closed behind
me- was free!
OF course, everyone sympathized
with me. I was the victim of judi

fession of the murderer had saved
from the clutches of the law, which Is
ever ready to admit its shortsighted.

enough to show me how sorry he was
that he had brought such an injury
upon me.
AS soon as the doctor arrived

saw without doubt that he did not
know all. 1t was quite evident that he
had not the same affection for me that
he had in France. and Of which he had
given so many demonstrative proofs.
He was very anxious, and seemed
plunged in gloomy thoughts, bur.
could see that he still held a certain
respect for me- for he said at once:
"You have not been as fair with me
as YOU should have been. You have

I began to breathe freely again. The
object of his visit to New York Was
not so dangerous after all.
I took 1t for granted that he would

Consequently we repaired to the

each other in his apartment, tell me
the whole truth.
We looked like two duelists who

He had an awkward manner In open

CHAPTER XIV. Continued,

'sYou are making an error" replied
the shrewd lawyer. "The pivot of the
affair is the undeniable motive of in.
terest-the interest of your sons wife
All the circumstances point to you as
having been the one who instigated
the crime. And you must know, Mr.
Douglass, that you are not an ordinary
client, and assure you that have
never in my long career had such a
questionable defense to handle"
7s"And is that all that the police have
found out about us?" asked.
"That is all. Don't you think 1t is
enough?"
"That is nothing" said.
"Nothing!" exclaimed the lawyer
Nothing, Less than nothing in com
parison to what is in reality my past

past"

said with cn:npassion:
"After all, am not very much sur

l saw BY his manner that he began
to think that was slightly crazed
myself.
Time went slowly. The inquiry
did not advance much. 1t was always
the same hashed up story, warmed up
for the public in different ways. the
great question was, was it suicide or
a murder. Then SUDDENLY the affair
took an unexpected turn.
One day my lawyer came into my
cell and cried out, joyfully:
"You are free! Free! You've got
your liberty, and you can go"
He was out of breath. He paused
a moment, and then went on:
tYour son has cleared you. He has
confessed all. He admits that he com
mitted the crime, without an accom-
plice. He even admitted that he went
to Holyoke, intending to kill you, but
had not the courage, and went to Mr..
Kingsley instead. So you're free!'
He shook me warmly by the hand.
I turned away my head to hide a tear
that had rolled down my SCARED
cheek, which had been burned by the
vitriol.
"And so that is the way you take the
