CHAPTER IV.
After being with some difficulty re
stored to consciousness Mrs. Dumbar
ton liad, with the aid of an opiate, fallen
n:to a profound sleep, from which she
did not awake until midnight.
Moving her head, she saw Veronica
s eated beside her, pale from fright.
Olive Dumbarton understood, and a
fre-li and poignant grief darted through
her heart. Then, bracing herself, she, in
a weak and trembling voice, said:
"Veronica—Veronica! I am inno
cent !"
A burden that seemed unbearable was
suddenly lifted from the girl's life, the
<1 irkness which had brooded over her
<oul was dispelled, her whole being re
laxed from torture and fear, now vi
brated with gratitude and delight.
It was not I, my child; you under
stand. ] am innocent," Mrs. Dumbarton
murmured.
"Mother," Veronica exclaimed, flinging
her arms in a transport of joy and grati
tude that was not without remorse
around her mother's neck, while she
kissed her pityingly, tenderly, lovingly.
"You believe rne, Veronica?"
"Mother," the girl said, infinite trust
and tenderest love expressed in that one
word.
'Thank God!" Olive Dumbarton mur
mured.

"Hlg face became livid, then I kuew he Was fleail."
Veronica kissed her again and again
before quitting the room, as if in this
way she would convey the faith and af
fection which words failed her to ex
press. To refrain from thinking was
■in utler impossibility to that stricken
woman, though thought was absolute
pain. As she lay there in the silence
;<nd gloom, heartsick and despairing, the
stoty of her life rose in black outlines
against the lurid tragedy which had
crowned and intensified all her sorrows.
An only child, worshipped by her
mother—her sole surviving parent—and
■messed by her friends, she had entered
K-iety when she should have been in
fhc schoolroom.
'•"allowed and admired, praised and
••mrted as she was, society was to her
! •»'<! of enchantment, and before her
' 'fid season ended she had wholly
ver tier heart to a young lieutenant of
< crs but five years older than her-
I. handsome, daring and fascinating,
-"ccuil dancer, a skilled polo player,
•Miltloss in dress, winning in his speech,
' pillar among women, hailed as a good
fellow among men.
Before her eighteenth birthday she had
married him against the advice of her
mother, and in spite of the warning of
her friends, endowing him, who was de
pendant upon his pay and steeped in
debt, with the handsome fortune left her
by her father. Then came three years
of wedded life of varying happiness, at
the end of which time the ardor on her
part remained unabated, while on his it
had vanished quite.
His growing indifference made her,
womanlike, more anxious to retain his
affections, while her eagerness defeated
its own ends by rendering him more
careless still.
Her disillusion, once begun, was
quickly completed. Soon came the
knowledge of his unfaithfulness, his
losses on the race course and at the
gambling table, as well as the percep
tion that his nature was gradually
coarsening by drink and dissipation.
The day was not long postponed when
she learned that her whole fortune
had been squandered by him in ways
that were wrongs to her. And, when no
longer able to preserve patience, she up
raided him; he brutally struck her. By
this time he had quitted the army, and,
disappearing, he left her and her child
depending on friends, her mother being
now dead.
Then began her Struggle for life, bit
ter and long maintained. She had al
ways possessed a certain talent for writ
ing, a facility of expression, picturesque
of description, power of imagination, and
she resolved to embrace literature as a
calling.
Klatiy a tnile she walked, from office
to office, which, with a fluttering heart
and overstrung nerves, she entered to
offer manuscripts over which she had
spent much time, always hoping she
might find acceptance. Money was ter
ribly needed by her. The result was
ever the same. Each magazine or jour
nal had its own staff of contributors;
hundreds of stories were waiting for
consideration. Ihe supply was greater
than could be exhausted for years. And
such manuscripts as she was permitted
to leave or which she sent by post, were
not lost, or mislaid—invariably returned
to her, until her spirit was. well-nigh
broken.
A turn came in the tide of her affairs
when they seemed most desperate. A
tale retained by a magazine for over
twelve months at last saw the light of
publication. Reviews spoke of its truth
to nature, pathos and originality of plot.
A second story was accepted by the
same magazine and an editor who had
returned her stories and essays unread
requested her to send him some articles.
Those he had previously rejected were
posted to him and paid for within a
week.
Slowly and gradually her name began
to grow familiar to the public. With ap
preciation came courage to persevere,
and, putting forth all her strength, she
wrote a novel largely embodying in its
pages her own life. This had been pub
lished by George Rostock. Its success
was immediate. Her name being famous,
independence Was won.
Her husband, after years of absence,
returned to claim the benefit of her
changed fortunes—returned a worn-out
wreck, a hardened adventurer, a con
firmed roue. For her own sake, and for
the sake of her child, she protected her
self against him, and succeeded in buy
ing, for a considerable sum, his consent
to a legal separation, which she could
otherwise have obtained had she brought
the incidents of her life into court. And
for five years she heard of him no more,
until at the period the story opens she
received a demand for money, to which
she paid no heed, nor had she seen him
meanwhile until that terrible night—his
last on earth. When breakfast was
brought she drank some coffee, but could
not eat, nor did she talk—her mind was
now so busy with plans, surmises, pos
sibilities, fears.
At last Veronica said:
"There is some one waiting to see
you."
"Who?" Olive Dumbarton said, fear
fully.
"Mr. Bostock."
A sense of intense relief came to the
miserable woman at the sound of that
name, and she suddenly realized that she
was not quite alone in life.
"How kind of him ! Has he been long
waiting?"
"About an hour. I did not like to tell
you before. I don't think you are strong
enough to see him, dearest."
"I must, Veronica; he will advise me."
"Then let him come to your dressing
room,' the girl suggested.
"Very well, dear."
A moment latet the door opened and
George Bostock entered. He went
quickly forward to where Mrs. Dum
barton sat and took her hand.
"My dear friend, this is terrible—this
is terrible!" he said, in a grave, troubled
voice.
"I am innocent!" she replied, lifting
her eyes to his again.
."I know, I know,"he answered rap
idly, his voice full of pain.
"You did not—you did not think me
guilty?"
"I? Not for a moment," he replied
fervidly.
" 1 hank Cod !" she murmured. There
were two at least in the world who be
lieved her incapable of this crime, the
two whose faith and trust in her she
valued most.
"But the position in which you are
placed " George Bostock said uneas- «
ily, his face expressing the anxiety lie
felt.
"Appearances are all against me, I sup
pose ?"
"So far. But who knows? I came
here at once to consult with you, if I
may."
"If you will,'* she replied, quietly, pa
thetically. "My cousin, Valerius Gal
braith, is now on his way to Egypt," she
said, after a moment's consideration.
"He may be in Paris yet; perhaps it
would be well to send for him."
Ile will read of the—the occurrence
in the papers and be sure to return.
Meanwhile you must have the best le
gal advice you can get. 1 112 you approve,
I will go and sec Coris & Son at once."
Do as you please," she answered. "I
feel sure you will act for the best."
"There is no time to lose," he said,
rising, and then adding, with some hesi
tation: "You know the inquest will take
place to-morrow, when you will lie ex
pected to attend."
She winced visibly at the thought his
words conveyed, but after a second's si
lence said:
"You have not asked me how—how
it happened—last night."
"1 didn't wish to distress you,'' he re
plied, "seeing how weak yon are to-day."
. "1 will tell you," she murmured, turn
ing pale at the recollection of the pre
vious night's tragedy.
Not now; it pains you too much—
another time," he suggested.
Its best von should know all as soon
as possible," she responded, bracing her
self to recount what had passed b< < .vren
her and the man whose lips were si
lenced forever.
CHAPTER V.
George Ho stock was eager to hear
Mrs. Dumbarton's account of the event
Not that lie needed words of hers to
confirm his belief in her innocence—of
that none was more certain than lie
but he was impatient to hear how it
came to pass that she was found in a
position and under circumstances that
conveyed an idea of guilt.
Veronica, likewise, longingly awaited
this narrative, which she felt certain
would pfove a complete vindication of
her mother's inhocenee.
"When you had left last night," Mrs.
Dumbarton said, turning toward the pub
lisher, who sat at a little distance, his
grave, anxious face expressing interest
and sympathy, "I took up the book which
had arrived by the last post and began
to read. Feeling hot and feverish, 1
kept the lower window open. All within
was perfectly silent; no sound came from
without and the peace seemed restful to
my senses.
"The book interested me and T felt no
inclination to sleep," Mrs. Dumbarton
continued, and then paused while a slight
shudder passed through her frame, as
if some distressing sight presented it
self to her vision.
Ifow long did you continue to read?"
George Rostock asked.
"Probably for a couple of hours after
you left. I know T was suddenly startled
bv hearing the garden gate flung violently
back and sounds of footsteps rushing to
ward the house J but before I could real
ize what had happened a figure darted
through the open window and stood
within the room—a man's figure, whose
actions were frantic, as if he were
-tricken with madness or made desperate
from pain. At this sight I screamed, then
paralyzed by terror, I remained speech
less and motionless.
I saw that the man before me was
my husband. Scarcely had I understood
ihis when he came staggering toward
me, but before he reached me he fell,
i cry for help and mercy on his lips. As
he did not move, I drew nearer to him,
fascinated, fearful, expectant, until, over
coming my terror and the sense of repul
sion that filled me, I stood beside him,
when for the first time I saw—l saw a
knife had been thrust into his breast.
"As vet there was no sign of blood,
no forewarning of death; mv sense of
dread was undefined. The sight of his
white, haggard and distorted face ap
pealed to me through all, and I had but
one thought, to save him from danger,
when, acting on impulse, I stretched out
my hand and drew the knife from his
breast. As I did blood gushed from the
wound upon my hands, upon my dress,
and he moaned as if stricken anew. Un
able to grasp what had happened, I bent
over him, to see his eyes grow "glass} -
atid his face become livid. Then I knew
he was dead."'
"Of what happened afterward I was
but dimly conscious," Olive Dumbarton
continued. "As one sees a figure in a
dream I saw my maid rush into the room
and as suddenly disappear; then came
Veronica, and finally the servant returned
with a policeman. At sight of him a
fresh sense of horror snd heavy forebod
ings of ill fell u n on my senses, and I
remember no more."
"Did you see no one else—no second
figure pursuing him?" George Rostock
asked, his anxiety plain to witness.
"No."
"And he mentioned no name—spoke
no word that would lead you to know
suspect why he had been murdered ?"
"The only words he spoke were those
which he asked for help and mercy."
"You are sure nothing has escaped
your memory?"
"Nothing. You think my case seems
hopeless," she said, reading his thoughts.
"I have no doubt," George Bostock
said, with the object of cheering her,
"that the truth regarding this unhappy
affair will couie out —that is, that the
truth of your innocence will be proved."
"God grant that it may," she cried;
"but I cannot fail to see that my danger
is great."
"You are not guilty," he answered,
deeply moved by her words and the pain
with which they were uttered. "Surely
that can be proved."
"Only by discovering who is," she re
plied promptly.
(To be continued.)
Why He Didn't Look
Senator Hale, apropos of an awkward
remark, said:
"It reminds me of the conversation of
two ladies at a reception.
"These ladies were strangers to each
other. After a moment's desultory talk
the first said, rather querilously:
'"I don't know what's the matter with
that tall, blond gentleman over there.
He was so attentive a while ago, but he
won't look at me now."
" 'Perhaps,' said the other, 'he saw me
come in. lie's my husband, you know.'"

Copper is a Permanent Investment
No ftMtt can tell how long a good Copper mine will
last, because no man has ever seen one exhausted.
The Rio Tinto mines in Spain have been worked for
over two thousand years, and last year they were the
third largest producer in the world. The Mansfield
mines in Germany have been worked for seven hun
dred years, and last year they were the sixth largest
producer. Copper was discovered in this country in
1845, and in the I ake Superior district the levels are a
mile below the lake, yet last year they produced more
copper than ever before in their history. The famous
Anaconda mine is steadily increasing its production.
I he United Verde in Arizona is turning out more and
more Copper every year. No real Copper mine in
//lis eouulrv lias yet been exhausted.
We have 2SO acres with Copper ore sticking
out on every claim, and a 10 foot Shaft lius
I been blink on Copper lodes on each claim.
All this shows the presence of an enormous
Copper deposit. In short, beyohd the possibil

Copper is 8 Profitable Investment
One copper mine that cost $t,200.000 paid in ore
year ten million dollars in dividends, while four of the
largest Western trunk line railroads, with 17,000 miles
of track, paid only $9,750,000 dividends. Thirty-two of
the leading Copper mines in this country on a paid-in
capital of $92,000,000. have paid over $210,000,000 in
dividends, while no railroad in the United States has
ever paid back its original cost.
The Steel 1 rust, with a capitalization of Si,4O(X
--000,000, earned only $74,000,000 profit last year.
