Lieut.-Col. A. j. Gordon Kane, re-

none other than Prohibition Commits

On the left, at the far end of the
room, Twyning sat at his desk. He
was crouched at his desk. His head
was buried in his hands. At his ell
bows, vivid upon the black expause
cf the table, lay a torn envelope, dell
red.
Sabre shut the door and leaut his
stick against the wall by the fire. He
took the letter from his pocket and
walked across and stood over Twyn-
ing. Twyning had not heard him.

upon him. Knock, knock, knock.

He said heavily, ''Twyning, Twyn-

Twyning slightly twisted his face
in his hands 50 as to glance up at
Sabre. His face was red He said
in an odd, thick voice, "Oh, Sabre,
Sabre, have you heard?'
Sabre said, "Heard?"
He's killed. Ny Harold. My boy.

he began to sob; his shoulders
heaving.
Sabre gave sound that was Just

cynicism incredible in its malignant

and to present him for the knife thus
already stricken!

began to have the feeling that if this
frightful knocking continued it would
heat its way out. Something would
give way. He was the father of
EPie's child; he was the murderer of
Effie and her child He was neither;
but the crimes were fastened upon
him as ineradicable pigment upon
his skin. He was betrayer and a
murderer, and every REPUTATION that
he could produce turned to brand
in his hands and branded him yet
more deeply. He writhed in torment.
Forever, he would carry the memory
Of that fierce and sweating face
pressing towards him across the
table in that court. No! 1t was an
other face that stood like flame be-
fore his eyes Twyning! Twyning,

"Harold's such blackguard! Har-
ODDS such blackguard A blach-
guard and the son of a vile, infamous,
lying, perjured blackguard."
His passion and his hate surmoCnt-

up his stick and went with frantic
hops to the door. He cried aloud,
gritting his teeth upon it, IN cram

The cab driver was resting on his
box with purposeful and luxurious
rest. Sabre waved his stick at MIN,
and shouted to him, Fortunes ,ifice

He ran again into the house and
bundled himself up the stairs and in
to his room. At his bureau he took
a drawer and wrenched it open so
that it came out in his hand, swung
on the sockets of it's handle, and
scattered its contents upon the floor.
One article fell heavily. His service
revolver. He grabbed it up and
dropped on his hands and knees,

down the stairs, and as he scrambled
