him to break the news to his father

quite plain that she did not want ChaI-

His family had resented their mar
rage. Father, mother and sister had
objected to her from the beginning,
not because she was unworthy, but be-
cause her tradespeople ancestry was
not so remote as his. She found a
curious sense of pleasure in returning
to them the thing they priced SO high

newspapers At the same time she
asked that a couple of district messen-
ger boys be sent to her room with the
least possible delay. The hushed.
scared voice of the telephone girl
downstairs convinced her that news
of the tragedy was abroad; she could
imagine the girl looking at the head
lines with awed eyes even as she re-
sponded to the call from room 416,
and her shudder as she realized that
it was the wife of the dead man speak

One of the night clerks. pale and

Her blurred eyes turned once more

Just as she had been sitting for miles
her white face standing out with al
most unnatural clearness, and as rigid
as that of a sphinx.

The girl turned toward her. Her
eyes were burning.
DO you mean that you will help

incredulously.

that wall caused the woman beside her
to cry out as if hurt by a sharp, al
most unbearable pain. For an instant
she seemed about to lose control of
herself. The car swerved and came
dangerously near leaving the road.

could trust herself to speak. Then
it was with a deep hoarseness in her

she was left with the morning papers,
each OF which she scanned rapidly.
The details, of course, were meager.
There was a double-leaded account of
her visit to the inn and her extraor-
binary return to the city. Her chief
interest, however. did not rest in
these particulars. but in the specula-
tons of the authorities as to the iden-
tity of the mysterious woman-and
her whereabouts. There was the like
lihood that she was not the only one
who had encountered the girl on the
highway or in the neighborhood of the
inn. So far as she could CLEAN from
the reports. however. no one had seen
the girl, nor was there the slightest
hint offered as to her identity. The
papers of the previous afternoon had
published lurid accounts of the muir
der, with all of the known details, the
name Of the victim at that time still
being mystery. She remembered
reading the story with no little inter
est. The only new feature in the case,
therefore, was the Identification of
Challis Wrandall by his beautiful
wife, and the sensational manner in
which it had been brought about.
With considerable interest she noted
the hour that these dispatches had
been received from special CORE
spondents." and wondered where the
shrewd. lynx-eyed reporters mapped

dispatches were timed three o'clock

Mrs. Wrandan returned to her post
beside the bed of the sleeper in the
adjoining room. Deliberately she
placed the newspaper on a chair near
window shades to let in the hard gray
light of early morn.
1t was not her present intention to
arouse the wan stranger, who slept as
one dead. So gentle was her breath
ing that the watcher stared in some
fear at the fair. smooth breast that
seemed scarcely to rise and fall For
a long time she stood beside the bed,
looking down at the face of the sleep
