Again the nurse leaned rel him.

Doctor Dosing came hurriedly to

announced Clay. turning from the

Yes. 60" said Irwin. I'VE can do NJ

And while Clay was on his way to
the humble cottage of the stricken
man, Doctor Dessing had e n yet an
other phone message. This time 1t
was to Horace Stone.
Il thought I'd tell you. Horace. that
your old clerk is dying. His end is
very near. 1t is only a question of
minutes"

in a voice that seemed to have some

nights wild time 10 no wise improved
his temper. a. he slowly picked at the
breakfast that had been served In his
room.
Has his lordship a new crown this
morning." smiled Isabelle as she came
into the chamber unannounced and al.
most unheard.
With a slightly forced laugh, she
pointed to the wet towel that he had
bound around his aching head.
"Or Is 1t some new style of head
gear made fashionable by the war;"
she persisted.
Clay scowled at his pretty wife. He
was In no mood for trifling.
Cant you e that | have a head
ache? he grumbled.
"Oh. these mornings after" she
answered ~teasingly as she slowly APP
preached and planted a light. quick
kiss on his nearer cheek.
is his mightiness too cross this
morning to grant his little wife one
tiny favor"
Yes his mightiness is" he answered
ungraciously. and Isabelle sagely. with
the wisdom hat is born of woman's
intuition. decided to await a more
favorable opportunity to press her re-
quest.
Clay was too absorbed in his. own
troubles; too much engrossed with his
aching head to think clearly or he
would have realized that Isabelle's
tiny favor" must have been an inn
portant one. No trivial matter would
cause her to arise at that hour. The
days when she tool breakfast with
her husband were long since past.
She usually spent her mornings in bed,
recovering from the fatigue of the
previous nights session at auction
bridge. For Isabelle's chief folly was
the playing for high stakes at the
home of Mrs. Cora Blake, an attrac-
tive widow of fifty.
Clay had frequently objected to his
wife's visits to the Widow Blake's
apartments.
Stories had come to Clay. stories of
wild times at the Widow Blake's.
Stories had come to him. too, of the
fascinating widows wild i%nfatuation
for Horace Stone. attorney and
sharper, whose business dealings were
often open to suspicion and whose
escapades in which automobiles.
chorus girls. wine suppers. stage
doors and midnight revels were large
ly interspersed made the chief top
les of conversation among the men
about town.
Careful investigation, however, had
failed to reveal anything Objectionable
In Stones conduct while the play was
on at Cora Blake's beautiful home.
As may have been guessed before
this, Isabelle's early rising on this fate
full Saturday morning had to do with
the play at Mrs. Blake's. Luck had
been against her once more.
She had reached the end OF her re-
sources. Her allowance for the next

three months was pledged. Her
jewels we're gone. All that remained
to her was the diamond engagement
ring that Edgar had given her on the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES evening when
she had blushingly promised to take
him for better or for worse"
Cowardice was not one of Isabelle's
follies. The sooner the better" she
had murmured to herself. and after
a careful toilet had gone resolutely to
her husbands dressing room. there to
put the whole sordid story before him.
and ask for help once more.
But she had reckoned without the
wet towel and the headache and the
morning-after crouch. And 10 as we
have seen her mission had ended in
failure.
A detected little figure she sat In
her husbands dressing room. keeping
up her p%retense of gayety. only when
Clay happened t raise his eyes to-
ward her-which was not often.
"A telephone for you. sir" said the
butler. creating a welcome diversion.
as he handed Clay the extension in
strument.
"Hello-yes. this is Clay. Oh. hello.
Irwin. What's that you say? All right.
I'll be right down"
His wife saw the look of anguish
and despair that came into his face.
~ he hastily slammed up the re-
reiver. finished his dressing and
rushed from the house without giving
her any explanation.
Russell Irwin was early at the once
that Saturday morning. Things were
bad in the real estate business and Il
WA only by being ON the job early
and late that he managed to keep

Guided BY voices that came from the
library she made her way into the.
house. Womanlike she paused to
listen.

The voice was Stones. There vas
no installing It. Something seemed
to 90 dead within her. Crafty she

Quickly she left. as quietly ~ she

to her. and handing him an envelope
filed with blank paper. she said

With catlike cunning she watched
his eagerness as he seized the On
velope. watched the sudden wonder on
his face that turned to anger as he
found that he had been duped.

And only Isabelle. shrinking in the

Only she could have told where the
paper went. Only she could have toll
and she remembered It all 80 d.
tinctly now--how Mrs. Blake had
moved suddenly toward the safe. -
she had carried the jewel case to the

knew that It meant the entire loss Of

luxury to which they had been aceus
