Dick had no scruple in clasping that
extended hand very warmly in his
own.
We'll do what we can for you" he
said simply.
That's all right" Carson replied,
with such carelessness of manner as
he could contrive. Then at last he
turned TO Mary. This parting must be
bitter. and he braced himself with all
the vigors of his will to combat the
weakness that Ieaped from his soul.
AS he came near the girl could hold
herself in leash no longer. She threw
herself on his breast. Her arms
wreathed about his neck. Great sobs
racked her.
"Oh, Joe. joe The gasping cry was
of utter despair.
GarsOn's trembling hand patted the
girls shoulder very softly, a caress of
infinite tenderness
That's all right" he murmured
huskily. That's all right, Mary"
There was a short silence, and then he
went on speaking more firmly. You
know, he'll look after you
He looked up over the girls Shout
der and beckoned with his head to
Dick, who came forward.
Take good care of her won't you?"
He disengaged himself gently from
the girls embrace and set her within
the arms Of her husband, where she

THE END.
London In 1874.

In 1874 NJ. La Combe published n
book entitled "a Picture of London"
in which. inter ALA. he says, The
highroads thirty or forty miles round
London are filed with armed highway
men and f9otpads." This was then
pretty true, though the expression
filled" is somewhat OF an exaggera-
ton.
NJ La COmbe in another part of his
book eXclaims: How are you changed.
Londoners! Your women are become
bold. imperiOus and expensive. Bank.
rUots and beggars. coiners. spies and
fnfOrmers. robbers and pickpockets
abound. The baker mixes alum In his
bread. The brewer puts opium ana
copper filing In his beer The milk
woman spoils her milk with snails."

~what's the matter with you today,
Joe? You seem nervous" Still, the
official kept on with his writing

with a feverish effort to appear calm.
why, what makes you think that?
But this amt exactly the place you'd
pick out as pleasant one TO spend the
morning" He was silent for a little,
trying with all his strength TO regain
his self control. but with small success.
Burke believed that his opportunity
was come. His hand slipped into the
pocket where was the pistol, and
clutched it. He stared at Carson
fercely. and spoke with a rush Of the
words:
why did you kill Eddie Griggs:"
81 didn't kill him. The reply was
quick enough. but il came weakly.
Again. Carson was forced TO wet his
lips with a dry tongue, and to swallow
painfully. Il tell you. l didn't kill
him. he repeated at last. with more
force.
'You killed him last night-with
this,' Burke cried, viciously. On the
instant. the pistol leaped into view,
pointed straight at Carson. WHY"
the inspector shouted. Come on. now.
Why"

his head forward challengingly. to meet
the glare OF his accuser's eyes.
There passed many seconds. while
the two men battled in silence. will
warning against will. In tire end it
was the murderer who triumphed.
Suddenly. Burke dropped the pistol
into his pocket. and lolled back in his
chair. His gaze fell away from the
man confronting him. In the same in
slant. the rigidity of Garsons form
relaxed. and he Strengthened slowly.
.'Oh. WELL" Burke exclaimed ami

with an amiability equal to the inspec-
tors own.
Burke pressed the buzzer as the
agreed signal 10 Cassidy. Where did
you say Mary Turner was last night"
At the question. all Garson's fears
for the woman rushed back on him
with appalling force.

claimed doubtfully. He realized his
blunder even as the words left his lips.

point was of itself suspicious, but

wits

Burke demanded.

| There was a long silence in the room
! after Garsons passing. 1t was bro
ken at last by the inspector, who got
! up from his chair and advanced to-
ward the husband and wife. In his
hand he carried a sheet of paper, rough
| ~ scrawled AS he stopped before the
! two and cleared his throat, Mary with
drew herself from Dicks arms and re.
garded the official with brooding eyes
from out her white face.
Burke extended the sheet OF paper to
the husband.
"There's n document he said gruff-
~. Its n letter from one Helen Nor
ris, in which she sets forth the inter-
eSting fact that she pulled off theft
in the Emporium, for which your Mrs.
Glider here did time. You know, your
father got your Mrs. Glider sent up
for three years for that same job
which she didn't do. That's why she
had such a Grudge against your father
and against the law toor'
Burke chuckled, as the young man
took the paper, wonderingly.
II don't know that blame her much
for that grudge, when alls said and
done. You give that document to your
father. 1t sets her right He's just
man according to his lights, your IA
Their. Hell do all he can to make things
right for her, now he knows. Now,
YOU two listen. I've got to go out a
minute. When l get back, l don't
want to find anybody here-not any
body! Do you get me?"
When the official was gone. the two
stood staring mutely each at the other
long seconds What she read
in the mans eyes set the womans
heart to beating with n new delight.
What he read in her eyes set the bus
bands pulses to bounding. He opened
his arms in an appeal that was a com
mand. Mary went forward slowly,
without hesitation, in n bliss that Tor
got every sorrow for that blessed mo-
ment, and cast herself on his breast.

swer.
The inner door opened. and Mary
Turner entered the Office. Carson with
difficulty suppressed the cry of distress
that rose TO HIS lips. For a few mo-
ments the silence was unbroken. Then
presently Burke by a gesture directed
the girl TO advance toward the center
of the room. As she obeyed he himself
went a little toward the door. and
when IT opened again and Dick Glider
appeared he interposed TO check the
young mans rush forward as his gaze
fell on his bride, who stood regarding
him with sad eyes.
Then, while still that curious. dy-
manic silence endured. Cassidy came
