time-and said she would think It
over. All she asks Is that ! may be
happy and free and untroubled all the
rest of my life. This was before din
ner. At dinner she appeared to be
brooding over something. When we
left the table she took me to her room
and said that she had come to an i'm
portant decision. Then she instructed
Watson to find you if possible"
"'Gad, it's all very upsetting," he
said, shaking his head.
Il think her conscience is troubling
her. She hates the Wrandalls, but l.
| don't know why l should feel as l
CO about it-but l believe she wants
them to know!"
He stared for a moment, and then
his face frightened. And so do |. Het-
ty, so do 1! They ought to know!"
81 should feel so much easier If the
whole world knew" said she earnestly.
Sara heard the girls words as she
stood in the door. She came forward
with a strange-even abashed-smile,
after closing the door behind her.
81 don't agree with you. dearest,
when you say that the world should
know, but l have come to the conclu.
sion that you should be tried and ac-
quilted by jury made up of Challis
Wrandall's own flesh and blood. The
Wrandalls must know the truth"
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1914-09-03

'Ill take chances, Sara" he said,
with an odd buoyancy in his voice that,
for the life of him, he could not ex-
plain, even to himself.
Even admitting that such should
turn out to be the case" said Mr.. Car
roll judicially, Il don't believe you'd
go so far as to put your loyal friends
in jeopardy, Sara. So we will dismiss
the thought Don't forget, however,
that you hold them in the hollow of
your hand. My original contention was
based on the time-honored saying,
murder will out We never can tell
what may turn up. The best laid plans

Sara settled back among the cush-
ions with a peremptory wave OF her
hand. The loose, flowing sleeve fell
away, revealing her white, exquisitely
modelled arm almost to the shoulder.
For some strange, unaccountable rea-
son Booths eyes fell.
Il am tired, wretchedly tired. 1t has
been a most exhausting day. she said,
with sudden note of WEAKNESS in her
voice. Both men started up apollo
getically. 81 will think seriously of
your plan, Mr.. Carroll. There is no
hurry, I'm sure. Please send Miss
Wrandall in to me- will you? Perhaps
you would better tell Hetty to come
in as soon as Vivian leaves. Come
back tomorrow afternoon, Brandon. l
shall be much more cheerful. By the
way, have you noticed that Dicky, out
in the library, has been singing all aft
ernoon as if his little throat would
split? 1t is very curious, but today is
the first time he has uttered a note
in nearly five months. Just listen to
him He is fairly riotous with song"
Booth leaned over and kissed the
hand she lifted to him HE is like the
rest of us, Sara, inordinately happy"
A slight shiver ran through her arm.
He felt it.
Il am so afraid his exuberance of
spirit may annoy Vivian" said she,
with rare smile. "She detests vul-
garity."
The men departed. She lay back in
the chaise-lounge, her eyes fixed on
the hand he had touched with his lips.
Watson tapped twice on the door.
Miss Wrandall could not wait,
maam," he said, opening the door soft
ly. "She will call again tomorrow"
Thank you, Watson. Will you
hand me the cigarettes?"
Watson hesitated. THE cigarettes,
ma 'am?"
Yes"
But the doctors orders, ma'am, beg
ging your pardon for"
81 have a new doctor, Watson"
II beg pardon, ma'am!"

said lightly.

Now, you see what ! mean, Bran
don, when / insist that it would be a
mistake for you to marry me-" said
Hetty in troubled voice. 81 feel that
Sara will not let me 60"
That's pure nonsense, Hetty," he
said. "She wants you to marry me,
am positive" He may have thought
his tone convincing, but something
caused her to regard him rather fixed
ly, as if she were trying to solve an
elusive puzzle.
He took her by the arm and raised
her to her feet. Holding her quite
close, he looked down into her ques-
tioning eyes and said very seriously:
you are suspicious, even of me.
dearest. / want you. There is but
one way for you to be at peace with
yourself; shift your cares over to my
shoulders. / will stand between you
and everything that may come up to
trouble you. We love one another.
Why should we sacrifice our love for
the sake of shadow? For a week,
dearest, I've been pleading with you;
won't you end the suspense today
end it now-and say you will be my
wife?"
The appeal was so gentle, so sincere,
so full of longing that she wavered.
Her tender blue eyes, lately SO full of
dread, grew moist with the ineffable
sweetness of love, and capitulation
was In them. Her warm, red lips part

You know l love you," she said
tremulously.

not once but many times.

She drew back in his arms, the
shadow chasing the light out of heI
eyes.
I'VE are both living in the present
we are both thinking only of 1t, Bran
Don. What OF the future? Can we fore
see the future? Dear heart, I am al.
ways thinking of your future, not my
own. Is 1t right for me to bring you"
And ! am thinking only of your fu-
ture," he said graVely. 'The future

make glad with the fulfilment of every
promise that love has in store for both
of us. Put away the doubts, drive out

He drew her close and kissed her
again.
81 am not afraid of your shadows.
God be my witness, Hetty, glory in
them. They do not reflect weakness,
but strength and nobility. They make
you all the more worth having.

Give me a few days longer, Bran
don," she pleaded. Let me conquer
this strange thing that lies here in my
brain. My heart is yours, my soul is
yours. But the brain is a rebel.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Jury of Four.


The Wrandalls sat waiting and won
dering. They had been sent for and
they had deigned to respond, much to
their own surprise. Redmond Wran-
dali occupied a place at the head OF
the library table. At his right sat his
wife. Vivian and Leslie, by direction,
took seats at the side of the long table,
which had been cleared of its mass Of
books and magazines. Lawyer Car
roll was at the other end of the table,
perceptibly nervous and anxious. Het-
ty sat little apart from the others, a
rather forlorn, detached member of the
conclave. Brandon Booth, pale-faced
and alert, drew up chair alongside
Carroll facing Sara who alone re-
mained standing, directly opposite the
four Wrandalls.
Not one of the Wrandalls knew why
they, as a family, were there. They
had not the slightest premonition Of
what was to come.
The Wrandalls had been routed
from their comfortable fireside-for
what? They were asking the question
of themselves and they were waiting
stonily for the answer.
ut is very stuffy in here" Vivian
had said with glance at the closed
doors after Sara had successfully
placed her jury in the box.
Keep still, Viv," whispered Leslie,
with fine assumption of awe. Its a
spiritualistic meeting. You'll scare
the spooks away"
1t was at this juncture that Sara
rose from her chair and faced them,
as calmly, as complacently as if she
! were about to ask them to proceed to
the dining-room instead of to throw a
bomb into their midst that would shat
ter their SNUG serenity for all time to
come. With a glance at Mr. Carroll
she began, clearly, firmly and without
predatory apology for what was to
follow.
Il have asked you to come here to-
night to be my judges. l am on trial.
| You are about to hear the story of my
unspeakable perfidy. I only require of
you that you hear me to the end be-
fore passing judgment"

ed perceptibly; quick glance passed
between them, as if each was inquir-
ing whether the other had caught the
extraordinary words of self-indictment.
A puzzled frown appeared on Hetty's
! brow.
/ "Perfidy?" interposed Mr.. Wrandall.
His wife's expression changed from
one of bored indifference to sharp in
quiry. Leslie paused in the act of
lighting a cigarette.
ut is the mildest term l can COM
mand," said Sara. Il shall be as brief
/ as possible in stating the case, Mr..
Wrandall. You will be surprised to
hear that have taken it upon myself,
as the wife of Challis Wrandall and,
as / regard it, the one most vitality
concerned if not interested in the dis.
covery and punishment of the person
who took his life-I say / have taken
it upon myself to shield, protect and
defend the unhappy young woman who
accompanied him to Burton's inn on
that night in March. She has had my
constant, my personal protection for
more than twenty months"
The Wrandalls leaned forward In
their chairs. The match burned Les

must triumph over it, or 1t will always
lie in wait for a chance to overthrow
this little kingdom of ours. Today
have been terrified. l am disturbed.
Give me few days longer"
Il would not grant you the respite,
were l not so sure of the outcome" he
said gently, but there was thrill of
triumph in the tones. Her eyes grew
very dark and soft and her lips trem-
bled with the tide of love that surged
through her body. "Oh, how adorable
you are!" he cried, straining her close
in sudden ecstasy of passion.
The doorbell rang They drew apart,
breathing rapidly, their blood leaping
I with the contact of opposing passions,
their flesh quivering. With a shy,
sweet glance at him, she turned to-
ward the door to await the appearance
of Watson. He could still feel her in
his arms.
| A drawing voice came to them from
the vestibule, and moment later Les
! lie Wrandall entered the library, pull
| ing off his gloves as he came.
Hello" he said glibly. Il told that
|
fellow downstairs it wasn't necessary
to announce me by telephone. Silly
arrangement, / say. Why the devil
should they think everybody's a thief
/ or book agent or a constable with a
subpoena? He knows I'm one of the
family. I'm likely to run in any time,
| told him, and Oh, l say, Pm not
butting in, am /, Miss Castleton?"
He shook hands with both of them,
and then offered his cigarette case to
Booth, first selecting one for himself.
Hetty assured him that he was not de
trop, sheer profiigacy on her part in
view of his readiness to concede the
point without word from her.
"Nipping wind" he said, taking his
stand before the fireplace. where is
Sara? Never mind, don't bother her.
I've got all the time in the world. By
the way, Miss Castleton, what is the
latest news from your father?"
Il dare say you have later news than
l." she said, trace of annoyance in
her manner.
81 thought perhaps he had written
you about his plans"
My father does not know that l
have returned to New York"
ooh, l see. OF course. Um-um! By
the way, l think the colonel is cork
er One of the most amiable thorough
breds I've ever come across. Ripping.
He's never said anything to me about
your antipathy toward him, but / can
see with half an eye that he is terribly
depressed about it. Can't you get to-
gether some way on"
Really, Mr.. Wrandall, you are en-
couraging your Imagination to a point
where words ultimately must fail you, y
she said very positively. Booth could
hardly repress a chuckle.
TITS not Imagination on my part"
said Leslie with conviction, failing ut.
terly to recognize the obvious. Il sup
pose you know that he is coming over
to visit me for six weeks or SO. We be
