FEJSI WlIuOW Ol his DdChelOI dpdiC
49, ments and surveying the gloomy
flats around him
Two months before he had been sum
moned home from New Mexico, where
his power dam had made him famous
to take charge of the engineering de
partment of his company at headquar-
ters His salary was ample, he had
wealth, he was only Twenty-Five; yet he
had managed to make no acquaintance
in the big city.
A free life in the West had made
him different from the average city-bred
young man; he thought the metropolis
stiff and its people devoid of interest.
Suddenly, as he leaned out, survey
ing the huge buildings and specializing
how many thousand lives ran on in them,
a light sprang into being in the building
opposite on the fifth floor, on a level
with his Behind a drawn shade he
saw the silhouette of a man
He was STOPPING over table and, as
Cray watched, he saw the shadow of
woman behind him. Suddenly her hand
plunged downward. The elongated OBJ
ject in it looked like a poniard. 1t
struck the man in the side of the neck
and he rolled over
The woman stood looking at him for
a moment; then, with a gesture of trl-
umph, she flung the poniard out of the
window, raising the shade little, Cray
heard metallic tinkle in the court below.
Then followed darkness.
He leaned out astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing it
real. How long he waited he did not
know Suddenly his bell rang.
He went out into the passage and was,
standing outside the door, one of the
most beautiful women whom he had
ever met She was twenty-three or
four. Her eyes cleaned with feverish
intensity, her hair was disheveled and
her hands were red.
"Save me! Hide mel Help mel" she
pleaded.
Cray did not hesitate an instant. He
pulled her through the doorway and led
her to the bathroom He filled the basin
and washed her hands, drying them on
a towel afterward. Then he took her
into his spare room.
you're quite safe here, ne said IN
a low voice Nobody saw you come
in. You can stay as long as you want
to-"
She crouched in corner, glazing at
him like hunted beast He hesltated,
then he closed and bolted the window
and withdrew, leaving the door open
For half an hour he waited fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, that
she would try to plunge down into the
court below But hardly sound came
from the room. When at last he re-
turned she was lying on the floor asleep.
He placed her on the couch and she
did not awaken. Her sleep was of pro-
found exhaustion All night Cray sat
up waiting Sometimes he stole in to
look at her, but she never stirred. 1t
was not till the sun was well up that he
heard her moving.
She came forward unsteadily and looked
in at him as he sat by the window
"Where am II" she cried. "Who are
your"

lessness, her charm, the bond between
them had created an intimacy that was
infinitely sweet. He had been offered
a new position in the West. One night
he took his courage in his hands and
asked her to be his wife and go with
him where all memory OF the past could
be forgotten.
He knew by her looks that she loved
him, But she would not
at is your pity for me, Ronald, not
love-" she said, signing. 81 love you,
but | can never be your wife so long as
this curse of blood lies on me"
"You acted rightly" he cried, hotly
ono jury would have convicted you.
Helen, dearest forget it and come with
me-"
81 cannot" she answered sadly. 81
must leave you, and you must forget"
But on the next day something hap
pened which drove all thoughts of parting
from their heads. The wife of the muir
dered man was arrested charged with
the crime.
1t was known that she had been in
the city that day. She had threat
ened him; the negro janitor identified her
as the woman he had seen near the apart
ment house. And Ronald and Helen
watched the unfolding of the grim trial
with dismay
On the evening before the last day
Helen spoke to Ronald about what lay
uppermost in her mind.
81 cannot let that woman be con-
victed," she cried. 81 must go down to
the court and offer my confession"
Ronald could not dissuade her. He
knew that it was the only possible thing,
And all day they sat in the dreary
courtroom listening to the intolerably
long summing up. The jury had at
last retired Ronald had persuaded Helen
not to speak unless the verdict was
guilty"
1t was hours before the jury returned,
A murmur spread through the court
room The face of the foreman was
deadly white, He trembled and looked
away from the prisoners straining eyes.
There could be no doubt what the YER
dict was.
Suddenly Helen sprang to her feet.
Ronald rose and kept his arm about her.
She faced the prisoner and stretched
out her hand.
But before a word could leave her
lips the woman in the dock uttered a
shrek and recoiled, clutching at the air.

And she collapsed unconscious upon
the floor.
Helen fell into Ronald's arms.

The verdict of "manslaughter" was
further eased by a mercifully light SEN
tence, and with the obstacle to their
marriage removed, Ronald and Helen
went West, where they started upon
their new life together.

81 am friend" he answered. you
are safe here-safe to come or to GO"
She burst into hysterical sobbing.
When at last he had quoted her the girl
told Cray her story
She had met man in her home in
Virginia, three months before. He had
asked her to be his wife Her parents
mistrusted him; she followed him stealth
lily, to learn too late that all that had
been said about him was true. He was
a gambler, a swindler She remembered
those three months with loathing Her
horror of him had grown He had
deceived her with mock ceremony,
lied to her-at last she had learned that
he had a wife already,
She had written home, but her letters
were returned unanswered. She had
nowhere to turn, she was ignorant of any
trade and the man held her by his lying
promises He had almost got his di-
vorce, he said; he loved her; for her sake
he would reform, if only she would trust
him
She had waited for him the evening
before; then there was a dreadful blank
in her mind, and she had recovered to
find herself standing over the body.
And she had fled wildly for shelter.
Cray patted her hands. "You stay
with me until the trouble blows over,
he said 81 want housekeeper. You
will be quite safe here. shall let it be
known that you answered an advertise

She looked at him helplessly. 81

"You will not regret it, said Cray.
And he knew the girl was safe there
Nobody came to call at his little apart
ment
The murder occupied two columns
of his morning paper, but the only clue
was that afforded by a negro ianitor
who had seen a woman ascending the
steps few minutes before the tragedy
And he stated that her hair was fair
The unknown woman's was ebony dark
Grey felt safe
The poniard was found, but gave nc
clue. And gradually the interest waned
