When Wilton was arrested Kitty had
been stunned by the news. She had
made frantic attempts to see MIN, but
without success.
Kitty knew on what the charge was
built, and the consciousness that VII
tons freedom could only be purchased
by her confession caused her an
agony Of shame and fear Yet she
would have purchased Wiltons free

inevitably lose him. Instinctiyely she
realized that treachery was the one
sin that he would never condOne.

Bowyer went white. Clark had
gagged his limit exactly. The two men
eyed each other In silence for a few
seconds, Then Bowyer canItulated.
"Your talents are wasted here, he
said. "Tll take you up on that, and
III be able to employ you to better
advantage after the first Of the year.
You're not afraid Of a check?"
Not in the least" said Clark.

He took the check and sauntered
out Of the house When he was gone
Bower gave way to one Of his mad

the office; and 10 the middle Of 1t his
man announced Kitty.
