go on" she said coldly. 1T is too
late to shield me. The time to have
done that was when I was your
guest"
Well" he went on, his eyes turned
carefully away from my face, which
must have presented certainly any
thing but a pleasant sight. Miss
West was going to do me the honor to
marry me, and"
You s%coundrel!" / burst forth,
thrusting past Alison Vests chair.
"You-you internal curt"
One OF the detectives got up and
stood between us.
You must remember. Mr.. Blakeley,
that you are forcing this story from
this a These details are unpleas-
ant, but important. You were going
TO marry this young lady" he said,
turning to Sullivan, although you al
ready had a wife living?"
1T was my sisters plan, and l was
in a bad way for money. If l could
marry, secretly, a wealthy girl and go
to Europe, 1t was unlikely that Ida

of II.

my wife on the train, and to realize
from her face that she knew what was
going on. | don't know yet, unless
some of the servants-well, never
mind that.
1T meant that the whole thing had
gone up. old Harrington had carried
a gun for me for years, and the same
train wouldn't hold both of us. OF
course, l thought that he was In the
coach just behind ours"
Hotchkiss was leaning forward now,
his yes narrowed, his thin lips drawn
to a line.
Are you left-handed, Mr.. Sullivan"
he asked.
Sullivan stopped in surprise.
NO." he said grufly. Cant do
anything with my left hand" Hotch-
kiss subsidized, crestfallen but alert.
Il tore up that cursed telegram, but
I was afraid to throw the scraps
away. Then / looked around for low
er ten. II was almost exactly across
my berth vas lower seven, and it
was, of course, a bit of exceptional
luck for me that the car was number
seven"
did you tell your sister of the tel
egram from Bronson?" / asked.
mo. II would do no good, and she
was in a bad way without that to
make her worse"

The shorter detective took q small
package from his pocket and held it
In his hand, swapping the rubber band
which held 1t.
yes, she was killed." Sullivan said
soberly. What I say o can do her
no harm"
He stopped to push hack the heavy
hair which dropped over his fore
head, and went on more connectedly.
1T was late, after midnight. and we
went at snce to our berths. I un-
dressed. and then I lay there for an
hour, wondering how l was going to
get the notes, Some one In lower
nine was restless and wide awake,
but finally became quiet.

Hotchkiss just then escaped from
Richey's grasp and crossed the room.

asked eagerly.
Never" Sullivan glanced with
some contempt at mine.

Harrington about five years ago. She
was a good girl, and | thought a lot
of her. But her father opposed the
marriage-he'd never liked me, and he
refused to make any sort of settle

would be money, and it was a bad day
when I found out I'd made a mistake.
My sister was wild with disappoint-

was watching Alison. Her hands
were tightly clasped in her lap, and
she was staring out of the window at
the cherries roof below. She had
set her lips a little, but that was all.
"You understand, of course, that I'm
not defending myself" went on the
sullen voice. The day came when
old Harrington put us both out of the
house at the point of a revolver, and
| threatened suppose you know
that, tool threatened to kill him.
My sister and / had hard times
after that. We lived on the contin-
ent for a while. I was at Monte Car

young lady there, the granddaughter
OF a steel manufacturer and an heir

Heaton boys ranch in Wyoming, and
met Bronson there. He lent me mon
ey, and I've been doing his dirty work
ever since"
Sullivan got up then and walked
slowly forward and back as he talked,
his eyes on the faded pattern of the
office rug.
IF you want to live in hell" he
said savagely, put yourself in anoth-
er mans power. Bronson got into
trouble, forging John Gilmore's name
to those notes, and Ia some way he
learned thai a man was bringing the
papers back to Washington on the
Filler. He even learned the number Of
his berth. and the night before the
wreck. just as / was boarding the

Hotchkiss stepped forward once

Sullivan looked at the little man
with suIky blue eyes.
1T was something like that. any

IRRIGATION METHOD
DOUBLES COTTON CROPS

San Antonio, Texas, Nova With
the impetus given to cotton growing
in the lower Rio Grande valley by ir-
rigation, which will practically
double the annual yield, arrange
ments are being made to manufact-
ure some OF the raw material. There
is no reason, ii is thought, why this
should not become a good mannfact-
turing district as well as an agricult-
ural district. 1t is announced that
arrangements haze been made by a
textile concern of Lowell, Mass, for
the erection and operation of cot
ton mill at San Benito. on the line OF
the Brownsville railroad, several
miles north Of the city Of Browns
willie. 4 Expert operators will be
brought from the north to train the
Mexican girls who will be employed
in the mill, and it is believed the lat
ter will develop quickly yinto expert
and efficient operatives The cotton
mill will be ready for operation early
next year and 1t VIII probably be The
forerunner Of a large manufacturing
era in the lower Rio Grande valley.

In his belief that in a large majority
OF cases diet would do far more than
drugs, that he was a little too much
inclined to take 1t for granted that
his patients were Belf-indulgent to the
ruin OF their health. Among the
many anecdotes to which his views
gave rise the following is one OF the
most amusing:
A patient came to consult him, and
was at once overwhelmed with dlrec'
tions on the subject OF the life he
should lead and the dietito which he
should adhere. Now. remember
only one glass Of wine at each meal

not improve. and at the end OF few
weeks he returned to the physicians
