The Germans clearly realize the full

Mr.. Hale came in.
"Ive got the team round now," he
said. "Pretty cold out there"

want to go over everything. I'm not
satisfied we can't do BETTER
Again, for one brief moment, the two
women's eyes found one another.
The sheriff came up to the table.
"Did you want to see what Mrs. Peters
was going to take in?"
The county attorney picked up the
apron. He laughed.
"Oh, guess they're not very danger
GUS things the ladies have picked out"
Mrs. Hale's hand was on the sewing
basket in which the box was concealed
She felt that she ought to take her hand
off the basket. She did not seem able to.
He picked up one of the quilt blocks
which she had piled on to cover the box.
Her eyes felt like fire. She had feeling
that if he took up the basket she would
snatch it from him.
But he did not take it up. With an
other little laugh he turned away, saying:
"No; Mrs. Peters doesn't need super
vising. For that matter, sheriff's wife
is married to the law. Ever think of it
that way, Mrs. Peters?"
Mrs. Peters was standing beside the
table. Mrs. Hale shot look up at her;
but she could not see her face. Mrs.
Peters had turned her face away. When
she spoke, her voice was muff1ed.
"Not-just that way" she said.
married to the law!" chuckled Mrs.
Peters husband. He moved toward the
door into the front room, and said to the
county attorney:
IL just want you to come in here a
minute, George. We ought to take
look at these windows"
"Oh-windows, said the county attor-
ney scoffingly.
well be right out, Mr.. Hale" said
the sheriff to the farmer, who was still
waiting by the door.
Hale went to look after the horses. The
sheriff followed the county attorney into
the other room. Again-for one final
moment-the two women were alone in
that kitchen.
Martha Hale sprang up, her hands
tight together, looking at that other
woman, with whom it rested. At first
she could not see her eyes, for the sheriff's
wife had not turned back since she turned
away at that suggestion of being married
to the law. But now Mrs. Hale made
her turn back. Her eyes made her turn
back. Slowly, unwillingly, Mrs. Peters
turned her head until her eyes met the
eyes of the other woman. There was
moment when they held each other in a
steady, burning look in which there was
no evasion nor finching. Then Martha
Hales eyes pointed the way to the basket
in which was hidden the thing that would
make certain the conviction of the other
woman-that woman who was not there
and yet who had been there with them all
through that hour.
FOR moment Mrs. Peters did not
move. And then she did it. With
rush forward, she threw back the quilt
pieces, got the box, tried to put it in her
handbag. 1t was too big. Desperately
she opened it, started to take the bird
out. But there she broke-she could not

Mrs. Peters moved uneasily.
"Of course we don't know who killed
the bird"
Il knew John Wright, was Mrs. Hale's
| answer.
at was an awful thing was done in this
house that night, Mrs. Hale" said the
sheriff's wife. "Killing a man while he
slept-slipping thing round his neck
that choked the life out of him."
Mrs. Hale's hand went out to the bird
cage.
"His neck Choked the life out of him."
ave don't know who killed him." whis-
pered Mrs. Peters wildly. "We don't
knoD."
Mrs. Hale had not moved. "If there
had been years and years of-nothing,
then bird to sing to you, it would be
ul-still-after the bird was still"
1T was as if something within her not
herself had spoken, and it found in Mrs.
Peters something she did not know as
herself.
IL know what stiffness is," she said, in
a queer, monotonous voice. when we
homesteaded in Dakota, and my first
baby died-after he was two years old
and me with no other then"
Mrs. Hale stirred.
"How soon do you suppose they'll be
through looking for the evidence?"
II know what stiffness is" repeated
Mrs. Peters, in just that same way. Then
she too pulled back. "The law has got
to punish crime, Mrs. Hale" she said in
her tight little way.
II wish you'd seen Minnie Foster"
was the answer "when she wore white
dress with blue ribbons, and stood up
there in the choir and sang
The picture of that girl, the fact that
she had lived neighbor to that girl for
twenty years, and had let her die for lack
of life, was suddenly more than she could
bear.
"Oh, 1oish I'd come over here once in
while!" she cried. "That was a crime!
That was crime! Who's going to punish
that?"
ave mustn't take on," said Mrs.
Peters, with frightened look toward the
stairs.

tell you, it's queer, Mrs. Peters. We live
close together, and we live far apart
We all go through the same things-it's
all just different kind of the same thing!
If it weren't-why do you and l under
stamdP Why do we know-what we know
this minute?"
She dashed her hand across her eyes.
Then, seeing the jar of fruit on the table,
she reached for it and choked out:
"If l was you l wouldn't tell her her
fruit was gone! Tell her it amt. Tell her
it's all right-all of it. Here-take this. in
to prove it to her! She-she may never
know whether it was broke or not
She turned away
Mrs. Peters reached out for the bottle
of fruit as if she were glad to take it
as if touching familiar thing, hav-
ing something to do, could keep her from
something else. She got up, looked about
for something to wrap the fruit in, took
a petticoat from the pile of clothes she
had brought from the front room, and
nervously started winding that round the
bottle.
