fallen from her.
What do you want? Why do you

explained about Morrison: He
was loyal friend of the Lorimers
he was the most honest of human
beings; he would help her as far as
consistent with his conscience; it was
really fortunate that sha had this
chance to tell him why she was in
the park when Ives was shot, and ia

Sometimes l think Ann never is

that many persons go through life

In another moment, she faced the
situation with her mothers sense of
good drama. AS she greeted the
men, her first callers in her glitter
ing new reception room, she looked
like an excited, defiant, naughty lit
tie "fapper," and not at all like a
young married woman who had in
volved herself in the greatest murder
mystery of the decade.
There was a good deal of petu-
lance in her voice as she told her tale
to Morrison and Mahon, one of dad
dy's lawyers.
Morrison didn't interrupt her,

confuse her. Once or twice he stop
ped her to ask me, for Mahon's bene-
fit, if AIMS story was Just as she
had told it to me.
It was so in every particular.
Finally Ann described how she had

ballet was fired, she said. Ives was

fore he fell.
At this point Morrison rose and
move about the room restlessly. Ma

to verify the statement as the same
that Ann had made to me.
After the poor child had finished
her recital, | was asked how | had

how Ann had surprised me by step

At this point the men questioned
me as to the state of AIMS nerves al

Morrison and Mahon consulted in the
/ dining room, to the vast astonishment
of AIMS new and very respectable
butler, l felt sure.
Finally the men came back.
Mr.. Mahon is going to ask you
two ladies to do a very difficult
thing" Morrison said.

beach, Mrs. Lorimer, and show US just
where you stood at the moment Ives

Mahon said that he and Morrison
would leave US because their pres

Ann, felt sure, did not realize that
she had come to the crucial moment

convict or clear herself by what was
going to happen. l relied upon Nor
rison to make the ordeal as easy as
possible for her.
When l pulled up at the top of the
steps which led down the hill to the
broad walk, saw Morrison and Ma
hon with several others whom l took
to be plain clothes men. They were
grouped about the spot where Ives
had been slain. The beach had been
cleared of visitors. Quite a large
section of the park had been roped
off to keep curious crowd away.
