prise when thehboy turned into her
own beautifully curving driveway,
circled to the wide veranda, leisure-
ly propped up his wheel, and passed
beyond the range of her vision as he
mounted the vcranda steps to her
door. Dorothy got up slowly from
her chair. She walked freely
through the door took item to glance
once at great bouquet of flowers,
and her hand was steady as she
signed for the message. Then her
fluttering fingers tore it open.
The next moment was a blank for
ever in her life. She had no memory
of that first reading; yet when con-
seriousness streamed back to her, a
moment later, she lay half-sprawled
over the great settee in the alcove
just off the hall, and she knew the
burden, if not the exact wording, OF
the message.
The yellow slip still lay in her
hand. She did not look at it at once.
Instead she lay with closed eyes, and
the world swept through space, and
time moved as in the grayness OF
half-sleep. She raised her hand
slowly, and the message came with
it; and slowly, laboriously, she read
lit through again.

NEW TRIAL MOTION To
BE ARGUED SATURDAY

ATLANTA, June 3.-Notwith-
standing the fact that an overruled
motion to set aside the verdict in
the case of Mrs. Ida Hughes, sem
fenced to hang for the murder OF
her mother-in-law, Mrs. M. C.
Hughes, at East Point, is on appeal
in the supreme court Of Georgia,
the defendants motion for new trial
will be argued in superior court
Saturday, June 7, Attorney H. A.
Allen announced.
Following Mrs. Hughes convic-
ton, Attorney Allen filed a motion
for new trial. Almost simultaneous
ly Judge R. R. jackson, also repre-
senting her, filed a motion to set
aside the verdict on the ground that
Mrs. Hughes was not in the court
room when it was received. Judge
G. H. Howard overruled this motion
and Judge Jackson appealed to the
supreme court.

back as soon as l feel chilly
Big Chris muttered, but slipped
the garment on. He could not doubt
those ringing words; otherwise wild
horses could not have forced the
coat across his brawny shoulders.
Presently he turned away, leaving
this man Of cities almost unpFo-
fected in the blast of the wind.
Why he had acted as he aid, ne
could not have told you. The dy-
inc liquor had chilled MIN, rather
than warmed him, nor was there any
shirt Of cold-defying caribou hide
under his outer garment Of heavy
flannel.
He could not exist long in such
cold as this. The frost seemed 70
nenetrate his vitals. The dawn was
breaking over the sea, incredible
after this night Of storm and dark
ness; but it brought no mercy from
Ithe cold. Either he must leave his
watch and seek shelter below, or
else perish on the deck.
He turned, at last, toward the
pilot house; but it was the strangest
thing in all his strange life that ne
had little real desire to go. Tt was
not that he was vitality needed on
the deck. Rather, it was an out
growth Of the nights dark mood; he
had seen the end toward which he
was drifting all too plain. At least
there would be some semblance OF
decency in such death-to be
lstricken lifeless by the cold in his
keeping of his watch.
But the Remittance Man never
Preached the pilot-house door. Thar(
was one strange, bewildering, DliHd
ing instant of incredible stress, 6
quick, cracking, explosive soun6
that hardly had time to reach MS
ear drums, and then the swift real
ization, like a rockets flares OF ire
vocable disaster. TIL ship reeled
rent, the cruel crags ripped, caught
hurled it over; and the dark waves
foam-crested, roared, plunged, anC
smothered it in an instant. Tie
mans lips opened in one despairira
cry; and then he was swept anC
hurled into darkness.

fate had been stacked against HIM
So it was neither wise nor fitting
that he should yield himself to re-
gret. There was no use of fighting
when there was nothing to win. lie
could never. go home. He must al
WAYS be a fugitive from the word
of men. He must stay here till he
died.
1t seemed to him now that this
ultimate end was nearer than ne
had ever dreamed. There was a
strange sense of finality about this
voyage.
The wind was like a whiplash o1t
of the northwest, singing his eye
lids, buffeting him as he braced him
self on the fitting deck, seeking
every little entrance through sleev~
and collar into his vitals. IN tht
loneliness of his mood it did not oc-
cur to him at once that his fellow
Waterman might be likewise suffer

Big Chris paused beside him, ours

"All right" Captain Jim pro
nouuced at last. GO out and help
Big Chris all you can"
The Remittance Man turned IN
obedience, and the fitting, wave
washed deck brought him to sobriety
quickly. The danger, the night and
the stars, most Of all the eternity Of
plunging waves on which the ship
was borne Weakened an odd, dark
mood, stranger to him in all the
reckless, happy years Of his youth
Some way he saw this North of his
in rev light. For the first time
since he had come here, he was
sober enough to catch the real tone,
TO feel the spirit of these desolate
seas and the eerie, savage, rock
bound shores they washed. He had
never thought about them in partic-
ular before. He had simply lived in
q nightmare world Of drink, and all
the stern magic Of this land mai
passed him by. But he was recep-
tive to it tonight.
It was such a mood as could easily
hurl him into tragic regrets if lie
had let himself go-if he had not
long ago forsworn all regrets. In
the first place there was no par
ticular act of his-not even The
tragic outcome of the launch ride
on the Savannah River-to which he
could directly attribute his down
fall: it had REALLY been a combira-
ton Of circumstances, many OF
which had been beyond his direct
control.
He had been weak, true enough

CHAPTER II
Bad News for Dorothy


From Dorothy Newhall's favorire
chair where often she sat crossleg.-
ged like a tailor, she could look
through the broad library window,
across velvet lawns and a Towering
hedge, and thence straight down the
long, white boulevard Of Walton
Way. It was characteristic of a
certain part of her that in late years
had come into the ascendency that
she preferred this view to that from
the wide glass spaces of the sun
parlor, the vista Of dark pines, deep
in shadow, and the fields surrender
ing to the ardor of the Georgia sun.
Dorothy's father-in-law had con
trived the sun parlor for his own
delight, and in his lifetime had been
rather intolerant Of the stream of
motor vehicles that flowed cease
lessly up Augustus most fashionable
street; but they were ali part CT
Dorothy's life. Today she saw the
colored messenger boy pedaling
stiffly up the grade, before ever he
had passed the great, fashionable
tourists hotel on the brow Of the hill
She had time in plenty to watch
him, and nothing better to do. Since
tragedy had oyertaken this house
hold, something over a year before,
she had had full cause to watch for
kilograms. A swift premonition
told her that the boy was heading
straight toward her door.
