nothing to do but acquiesce. 1t was

Sotheby that she was living with an
old aunt in an apartment uptown.
That had been a laro period for
SotheDy. He knew hat he shadow
over his life would deepen rather than
disappear, as the years went IN. And
yet, strangely enough, he began to
realize that he had rot truly loved

been no communion Of tastes between
them. II had been infatuation, and
In spite Of the tragedy, Jack thought
of Evelyn as an episode In his life

formed the basis of the accusation In
court.
Mr.. Dayton had been able to prove
that he had been confined to the
house all that fatal day with slight
indisposition. He had gone up to his
room at eight o'clock. The jury had
only his unsupported word for this.
for no member of the household was
able to say that he had been seen
again until the ensuing morning.
The base implication of the prose-
cution was that Mr.. Dayton had
slipped out of the house between the
hours of eight and ten in the evening.
They limited that he had fired the
plant and returned to his room before
the flames were discovered.
It was at the darkest moment in the
trial for the anxious father and daugh-
ter. when their lawyer called DIR. Paul
Merwin. A serious faced young man
the Daytons had never seen before
took the witness stand. He was care
fully but not extensively dressed. 1t
was notable that he never even
glanced at the accused man nor his

His evidence was plain, simple and
convincing. He was comparative

small practice. The evening of the
fire he had been resting in TIE garden

Some men at the club had brought
up the old problem of wife versus
mother. Which should a man save,
If he were struggling with them in
the water? Then it was that Merrill
told this story:
"So.heby had been out boating
with his fiancee, Evelyn. and her lit
tie crippled sister, Mollie," he said.
Il think that problem was still harder.
Ordinarily, of course, his duty would
have been to save his fiancee. but Mol
lie was lame-had been so from birth.
She could walk, after a fashion, but
she couldn't have swan, and she was
far too frail and delicate to swim for
her life in such a tide as Eight Mile
race.
HE knew Evelyn could swim like
fish, too. The girls were staying at
North Cliff when he went to see them
He had met Evelyn a few weeks be-
fore, In town. He knew she and her
sister were orphans. They had hard
ly relative in the world. Sotheby had
become engaged week or two before,
and he was madly in love with Eve
Ign, and the envy of all the other
men who admired her dashing beauty.
Il think his predicament was worse.
It was about half mile to the land,
and Evelyn could probably have made
1t. Mollie was helpless. Sotheby did
not know what to do. He acted on
impulse He saved Mollie.
He never knew how the boat had
overturned. He was trying to bring
the tiller around and let the boom 60
when they found themselves in the
water, and clinging to the overturned
boat. which was drifting rapidly out
to sea.
HE saw Evelyn struggling beside
him, and Mollie sinking. Quick as q
flash Sotheby grabbed Mollie by the
hair. He lost sight of Evelyn. He
knew he could not save both girls, and
he could not let Mollie go. Alternate
ly swimming and treading water, he
managed. in utter exhaustion, to get
Mollie ashore. Then he tainted.
He awakened in fisherman's cot

well. The next day he saw her. He
