FOURTH STORY

The door of No. 492 trembled vio-
lently, then lunged from its hinges and
the two policemen leaped into the
office. The clod that had been Charles
Iced, investment broker, sprawled in
a swivel chair, his head and the right
hand, still gripping the revolver,
reaching nerVelessly out upon the lit
tered desk.
The desk blotter was still a bit
damp. A newspaper scare head there
had been heavily marked by a 6B lead
pencil:
TITAN SHIP COMPANY FORCED
TO WALL"
"War smashes Gigantic Enterprise
Mysterious Unknown Fnancier
Behind T. s. Co. Loses Entire

A tiny memorandum slip, torn hur.
riedly from book, with the names
of the city's twelve principal banks
and trust companies lay upon the
floor. And that was all.
The Mirrors police reporter slipped
into their puzzled conference.

in he was going to kill himself here"
he explained. What do you boys
make of it,"
well, you've got to hand it to the
guy-he made good" Officer Carney
answered. fought to make big
story, Harvey. Iced was dirty with
money-wasn't he?"
The reporter smiled at the infer
ence that a suicide never takes the
biggest jump until his money is gone.
Inwardly, he was laughing at their be-
wilderment. A good story? Why, it
was whale, a triple-decker of a
story! And story plainly written!
Charles Iced, the emihently wealthy
investment broker, had been the Mys-
ferrous Unknown who shoveled mil
lions so carelessly into the smashed
ship company. With the last glim-
mering Of hope he had written the
wealthy heiress, Miss Selma Ashton,
that her millions had been a part of
those swept away. But why Selma
Ashton, unless she had made recent
demand for money that fastened the
climax? The blotter, turned upside
down against the mirror, had spelled
out the substance of the brokers' last
note. He consulted again the mem.
orandum slip. Undoubtedly, he had
it correctly. ...
Iced was the mysterious hacker of
the Titan company. The Titan com.
pany smashed. Selma Ashton incon.
veniently required money. Iced
tackled the banks and trust companies
mentioned on the slip for aid but with
out success. Then-a subject for the
coroner.

Mrs. Presley could not forego a
final glance. Selma Ashton was smil-

ting his waistcoat which had become
disarranged in the struggle, Dwight
re-entered the room and stood looking
down at her.

put the question softly, as though
fearful Of asking but eager for the
answer. "You did not know be-

Il understood-what you mean"
she said, quietly, but with a cutting
incisiveness that showed the depth of
her hurt. "You mean-that-" Her
voice trembled, broke completely, as
she found herself unable to voice the
remainder of her sentence.

II.

Mrs. Pressley's lips compressed as
she read David Dwight's note. The
thought of his marriage to the beau
tiful creature just across the tea
things was repugnant to her.
Selma Ashton checked the laugh
upon her lips, roguish CLEAN light
ing her eyes. Under lowered lashes
she unused aloud.
He's dear, old man," she MUIR
INJURED as though to herself, studying
the shades of disgust upon Mrs. Press
ley's countenance with infinite relish.
He's got simply millions and his wife
would get it all, and they say private
physician devotes all his time to keep
ing him alive from hour to hour"
Mrs. Pressley's nose upturned.
Hes so sweet and kindly" Selma
sighed. "And even though he is old
and feeble you can see for yourself
the fame of love burns strong in his
heart. Right on the heels of his note
he announces he will come to put his
important question. A perfect Loeb
invar, my dear!"
She threw back her head, bursting
into peal after peal of ringing laugh
ter. Mrs. Presley drew herself erect,
uncertain whether to assume an air
Of injured dignity or to join in the
mirth.
"You dear old thing" Selma gasped.
"Of course, haven't any idea of mar
rying him. In the first place he's old,
and in the second place he's not the
man / want, and in the third place he
isn't the man / want to marry and
never could be. But you were so fun
ny when you thought me in earnest
Just for that I'll forgive your scolding
about my asking Mr.. Iced to send me
a hundred thousand dollars Now, we
must be ready to receive the eager
wooer."
Her companion ordered the butler
to clear the tea table, then slowly fol-
lowed the beautiful girl up the stairs.
She could hear Selma dismissing
her maid and moved into the hall, &C.
companying her to the drawing room.
She hurriedly started to withdraw at
a futter Of the door-bell but halted
inquiringly as the butler entered with
a note for his mistress.
The companion gazed with increas-
ing wonderment at the young heiress.
A few moments before she had walked
down the stairs with the radiant crea-
ture, the happy, care-free girl. And
now, in the space of time it took for
her eyes to travel across the lines

The maternal instinct within her

there. He bowed gracefully for si.I
lence then extended his glass slightly
as he continued:

And then she understood, UNDER
stood even as the man she loved re-
ceived the wine glass from the man
to whom she was bound. The instinct
to cry out aloud a warning was upon
her but she repressed it. She turned
away with a shudder. conscious that
Holland was speaking. She could not
catch the words.
And suddenly she realized that she
loathed this man too. Revenge-re-
venge-was that all man thought Of,
lived for, died for? The man she
loved had been caught in his own trap
and was merely showing himself
thoroughbred. And when he fell dead,
who did they think was to pay for the
scandal-who was to pay?
She half rose from her chair, even
as the doctors elbow crooked to sip
at the wine. A second she remained
there, then slumped heavily against
the arm holding the glass, her eyes
closing in feigned swoon. David
Dwight's arms were about her, lifting
her, carrying her to the library and
placing her upon the couch. When he
left the room, after turning her over
to the maid, she listened to the excited
chatter, the murmur OF suppressed
anxiety from the departing guests,
lulled by her husbands soothing tones.
Out Of tie corners Of her eyes she had
seen Holland heavily ascending the
stairs, could feel herself listening for
some sound that would tell her what
he was doing.
David Dwight stood in the hallway,
shaking hands with the last of the
guests when she saw the doctor Com.
ing down the stairs, a suit case in his
hand. She half rose upon the couch,
then moved out into the room, her
breath coming in little kissing
sound. She could hear the voices of
the men, then, for the first time in
their married life, was aware from the
shrill note in the millionaire's voice
that he was losing his temper. A sec
ond later came the scuff1e Of feet and
Dwight and Holland burst into the
room. At sight other the husband re-
gained control of himself, dropping
his hold upon the younger man and
laughing.
"And so you thought ysG-A would
leave my house, doctor? You Thought
you would dodge the collector, chr
You thought you would take what you
wished and then evade the payment,
my young friend"
Selma drew closer. 1t seemed to her
she had heard the words before.
well, leave the house, doctor, II
you wish. Leave the house and I
shall brand you everywhere as the
man who tried to kill his patient so he
could steal his wife-or rather take
the wife he already had stolen. You
