TODAY'S INSTALLMENT.

Betty had crushed the letter in her
hand She did not envy her sister the
possibility of happiness that seemed about
to open before her only-how hard life
had been to her, How bitterly hard
life had been to the man who loved her!
Il am glad to hear you say that" the
doctor said. you mustn't worry about
the funeral I'll make the arrangements.
Did Mrs. Rimington leave any papers,

IF it would save you trouble-if you
cared to trust me so far-and doctor is
like a priest or lawyer. his patients
secrets are as his own-Tll go through
Mrs Rimlngton's papers for you"
How good you are" Betty said, CRATE
fully. She handed the doctor the leather
dispatch box and the dead woman's keys,
and went gratefully to the rest the doc
tor suggested in her own room.
Perhaps she had fallen asleep. She
hardly knew: but the doctors voice call
ing excitedly cut through the thread that
bound her to sleep or to half-waking
dreams.
Miss Lumsden-Mss Lum sden-come
out-quickIy, please! No-lt's good news
too good to keep"
He wondered afterwards at the ex-
element which had swept tact and or
binary decency of feeling, as it seemed,
away on its tide relentlessly. He had
given no thought to the dead woman
to her reputation, to her relationship to
the two people who were to benefit so in
timately by her death. He only knew
that here in his hand he held, in this
closely written set of four quarto pages,
the KEY that would unlock the Gates Of
Silence and let an innocent man go free.
He never forgot-he never tired Of tell
ing 1t in after years-how the girl, flushed
a little with sleep, with shining eyes, had
come out from the cell-like room that had
been her voluntary prison-never forgot,
he never tired of tellng-how bravely,
how magnifcently she had received the

All that had happened there that night
had happened with the strange ease and
simplicity which so frequently cling about
the events Of great tragedies. Mrs Rim

simplicity which must have been Dor

Appleton home a green and gold
motto to this effect
SPEAK THE TRUTH"
But when there is company neither
Mrs. Lysander John nor Daysey Wayne
sees It. Naturally, they can't see 1t,
because It hangs over the clock, and
they are perfect ladies'.
And no perfect lady ever looks at the
clock when she has a guest. She may
look at anything else In the room, even
at the cobwebs on the ceiling, but under
no circumstances may she look at the
clock.
There was a caller. Mrs Appleton
was telling of her family's claims to
distinction. Lysander John was amused,
but so well trained he didn't show it.
She told of one relative who had
had four funerals. Every once in
awhile, when the citizens wanted TO
have an Event. they would exhume his
body and remove It to a More Fitting
Sepulchre.
The visitor was impressed
Then she told OF another relative so
distinguished that 40 surrounded his
bedside when he died. The telegraph
never gives more than 80 to the most
distinguished mans death bed. BY ac-
tual measurement no bed could accom-
modate more than sixteen, but the Wis
itor was not skeptical, and was again
impressed
The town of Appleton Wis" she
aid, was named for my husband, who
ounded It,"
Lysander John gasped He had never
been In Wisconsin in his life!
The visitor looked at the clock and
gave an incredulous scream. When a
guest looks at clock and gives an in
credulous scream her hostess is also
given the right to look at the clock.
But not a minute sooner
1t is two hours fast" said Mrs. APP
pleton. Lysander John had set it right
that evening, and his wife knew It! He
gasped again
When his wife, after seeing her guest
to the door and begging her to stay
longer returned. complaining that she
feared the guest was going to stay all
night, Lysander John gasped once more
What" he plaintively asks the wom-
en- who are engaged In making this
