narrowed cunningly. WAS he jealous
of Griggs? Well. that's what he
might do then. He's always been a
worthless young cub. A rotten deal
like this would be about his gait, I
guess. Tell me. now: Why did
he shoot Eddie Griggs?"
There was coarseness a-plenty in

Burke was beaming joyously. At

her innocence was made complete.
The story was there recorded in black

Helen Morris. 1t mattered little-or
Infinitely much,-that it came too

less, she felt a thrill of ecstasy over
this written document-which it had
never occurred to her to wrest from
the girl at the time of the oral con-
fession. Now that it had been prof
fered, the value of it doomed above al
most all things else in the world. 1t
proclaimed undeniably the wrong
under which she had suffered. She
was not the thief the court had
adjldged her. She had a right to the
respect of the world that had con-
demned her unjustly. Through her
mind unfolded the panorama of the
years-years black and crimson, years
of irreparable miseries. But. by so

OF thinking within the law set the

innocence within the law. :.
Mary's eyes were luminous in the joy
of the realization that for her, after
all, rehabilitation might be in a
measure possible, though nothing
could ever repay the degradation Of
years infinitely worse than lost.
Burke's harsh voice, cadenced to q
singular sympathy, broke In on her
reveries Of pleasure and of pain.

Mary shook her head in negation.
