At this period OF his bitter musing,
the gloomy mood began to pail on
young Dayton's usually optimistic ma

something to distract his thoughts.
Inside the car In the chair nearest
the door reclined a delicate. sweet

Before this ingenious prevaricator
could say more. the train began to
move slowly into a station, and Her

aisle for the passengers crowding out.
He had retired to his old vantage
point outside the car when the girl in

She paused there until the train
stopped. Suddenly she looked up, saw
Herbert and an expression OF scorn
came to her face that made the poor
fellows blood run cold.
She had, he knew instantly, over
heard Halstead explain his former girl
friend to his wife. and of course she
must have guessed he had been. tacit-
iy at least. a party to deceiving a
trusting woman.
And was this to be the end of his
long search. his dreams, his dearest
hopes? Plain killing was too easy a
death for the prevaricating Mr.. Hal
stead. He started forward to give
that gentleman a generous piece of his
mind when, glancing up. he saw that
he was again administering to his
wife. and that look OF peace and
happiness had come into her face.
This banished at once and forever all
regret in him that he had been a
party to the fraud.
Just then the slowing train stopped.
The girl came out on the platform and
was passing Dayton with unseeing
eyes when the train gave q sudden
lurch.
She staggered and was about to fall
when Herbert caught her, but in do
ing so he lost his balance and was
thrown from the car. He fell to the
concrete walkway below with consid-
cradle force and lay there uncon-
scious.
