care with Leslie.
The funeral grafton by the Rev. DR..
Maltby dragged on. Among all his
hearers there was but one who be-
lieved the things he said of Challis
Wrandall, and she was one of two per-
sons who. so they saying goes, are
the last to find man out; his mother
and his sister. But in this instance
the mother was alone. The silent,
attentive guests on the lower floor
listened in grim approval: DR.. Maltby
was doing himself proud Not one but
all Of them knew that Maltby knew.
And yet how soothing he was.
BY the end of the week the murder
of Challis Wrandall was forgotten by
all save the police. The inquest was
over, the law was bafiied, the city was
serenely waiting for its next sensa-
ton. No one cared.
Leslie Wrandall went down to the
steamer to see his sister-in-law off for
Europe.
"Goodby, Miss Castleton," he said,
as he shook the hand of the slim
young Englishwoman at parting.
Take good care of Sara. She needs
a friend, good friend, now. Keep her
over there until she has-forgotten."

In the hall she could hear the leisure
ly kon-kon-kon-kon Of the tall clock.
The evening outside was exquisitely
still and the metallic monotone was
threaded with the airy fiddle-fiddle of
crickets in the grass and punctuated
with the rain-glad cloap of frog.
Shirley stepped lightly down to the
wet grass. Looking back, she could
see her mothers lighted blind. All
around the ground was splotched with
rose-petals, looking in the squares Of
light like bloody rain. She skinned
the lawn and ran a little way down

Loss Estimated at 5000.

Juarcz, March 30.-The battle at
Torreon is still raging today, but the
cOnstitutionalists say that no late news
of the situation has been received.
The strict military censorship over
dispatches gave rise to rumors that
the rebels have received a setback in
the main Plaza Of the town. 1t is
roughly estimated that five thousand
have been killed and wounded since
the battle started a week ago. With
great enthusiasm Gen. Carranza made
his entry into Juarez last night which
is now the provisional capital.

mine, the conversation with John Va.
liant in the woods.
MRS. cambridge, gazing into the fire,
listened without comment, but more
than once Shirley saw her hands clasp
themselves together and thought. too
that she seemed strangely pale. Tue
swift and tragic sequel to that meet.
Ing was the hardest to tell, and as she
ended she put up her hand to her
shoulder, holding it hard. 1T was
horrlble!" she said. Yet now she did
not shudder. Strangely enough. the
sense OF loathing which had been
'surging over her at recurrent inter.
walls ever since that hour in the wood,
had vanished utterly!
She read the newspaper artale
aloud and her mother listened with an
expression that puzzled her. WI IN
she finished, both were silent for a
moment, then she asked, "You must
nave known his father, dearest; didn't
you?"
Yes" said Mrs. cambridge after a
pause. I-knew his father"
Shirley said no more, and facing
each other in the candle-glow, across
the spotless damask, they talked. as
Win common consent, of other things.
She thought she had never seen her
mother more brilliant. An odd excite
ment was flooding her cheek with red
and she chatted and laughed as she
had not done for years.
But after dinner the gaiety and Ell.
fervescence faded quickly and Mrs
cambridge went early to her room.
She mounted the stair with her arm
thrown about Shirley's plant waist.
AT her door she kissed her, looking at
her with strange smile. "How cu.
rlous," she said, as il to herself, that
1t should have happened today!"
The reading-lamp had been lighted
on her table. She drew a slim gold
chain from the bosom Of her dress
and held to the light little locket-
brooch 1t carried. 1t was of black en-.
amel, with tiny laurel-wreath of
pearls on one side encircling a single
diamond. The other side was of crys-
tai and covered q baby's russet-col-
ored curl. In her fingers it opened
and disclosed miniature at which
she looked closely for a moment.
Her eyes turned restlessly about the
room. 1t had been hers as a girl. for
Rosewood had been the old Garland
homestead. 1t seemed now all at once
to be full Of calling memories Of her
youth.
How strange that il should have
been today" 1t had been on Shirlev's
lips to question, but the door had
closed. and she went slowly down
stairs She sat while thinking. but
at length grew restless and began to
walk to and fro across the floor. her
hands clasped behind her head so that
