IIKADqUARTERS OP TUB BRITISH
ARStY. Northern France, May 17. '
This Ik Frederic Villiers 17th wnr.
Everywhere wo go In tlio English lines
some ftmcer snys to him: "Hut 1 sup
poso you've boon nil this sort of thine
before."
And Villiers, who has pictured wnr nil
' over the world, snys! "It's nil new to
mo. I'm n babe at this new game or
wnr."
Villiers' nrst cnmpalgn was In 1876. In
thonn days no ono touched oft a cannon
until the enemy was In sight; It wns
Uko Aiming a rinc. Hut this afternoon
wo looked on nt 20th century nrtlllery
firing. Tho British artillerymen were at
attention nt their, gun when tho officer
In chargo showed us a map.
"You sec, we're In this section." ho ex
plained, "And we're going to shoot at this
spot." Ho Indicated u point four miles
distant. In the German lines. Karma and
roads and a village and tho English and
German trenches lay between us mid
tho target. "There's n ruined farmhouse
there. Gcrmnn officers aro alwaja hang
ing around It nnd wo have to touch It
up every now nnd then."
"Fire!" ho said. Tho shell driltcd Its
echoing tunnel through the sky and tho
British odlccr somo miles head of us,
who saw the shell explode, telephoned
back that It hnd fallen short.
The guns were charged. The man fired
agnln. This time tho mcsBnge eamo that
the shell had gone n little too far.
Tho British artillerymen tinkered with
their gun ns delicately as a wntrhiiinknr
adjusting a Jeweled watch, and then the
gun boomed out again.
"It hit the farmhouse," was the mes
eago that came back over tho telephone.
It was 100 per cent, shooting, for tho
two test shots arc almost always neces
sary In rnngo finding. The twentieth
century British artillerymen wero show
ing how well they knew how to shoot.
But. hero's another point In this twentieth
century warfare that Is even more Im
portant and that Is to keep in mind
where not to hit.
Later In the day wo saw on nstonlsh-
lng example, of this. nVo wcro In the
English tranches at t'locgstrcet. Througn
a, periscope we looked across the deep
Creep grass of No Man's Land nnd saw
the German trenches not a block dis
tant Scattered rifle firing was Incessant.
Suddenly from behind us came the yell
of nn English shell. It passed directly
over us.
"I thought I knew war." said VIHIp-h,
"but I wouldn't have known a thing
about artillery possibilities Ir t had not
seen that shell fall on the German
trench."
Any American hoy with n fielder's glove
could "pull down" tho bomb1! which nro
being flred by both sides from trench
mortars, provided Its fuse was not light
ed It moves through the nlr like a bat
ted baseball and Is only n little larger.
The mortar has been so long out of use
that It also Is new. The British mortn
men have learned to put a bomb exactly
where they want It.
"Do you know where I'vo seen guns
like that before?" asked Vllllere. pointing
tb a mortar. "In your United States on
the Fourth of July."

I.IFK AND DEATH
Morning found them but little, If nt all
refreshed, though It wns with a feeling
of Intenso relief that they saw tho dny
daun.
As soon as they had made their meagro
breakfast of salt pork, coffee nnd biscuit,
Clayton commenced work upon their
house, for ho realized that they could
hopo for no snfety and no peace of mind
nt night until four strong walls effectually
barred tho Jungle llfo from them.
Tho tnsk was an nrduous ono nnd re
quired tho better part of n month, though
ho built but ono small room, flo con
structed his cabin of small logs nbout
Blx Inches In dlnmoter, stopping thu
chinks with clay which ho found at tho
depth of a few feet beneath tho surfneo
soil.
At ono end ho built a fireplace of Bmnll
stones from tho beach. These also he Bet
In elny, nnd when tho house had been
entirely completed, ho applied a coating
of tho clay to tho entire outside surfneo
to the thickness of four Inches.
In tho window opening he set small
branches about an inch In diameter both
vertically and horizontally, and so woven
that they formed n substantial grating
that could withstand tho strength of tv
powerful animal. Thus they obtained air
and proper ventilation without fenr oC
lessening tho safety of their cabin.
Tho A-shnpcil roof was thatched with
"As she took up thelittle baby
small branches laid closely together and
over these long Junglo grass and palm
fronds, with a final coating of clay
Tho door ho built of pieces of the paek-
'Ing-boxes which had held their belong
ings; nnlllng one piece upon anoiner, tne
grain of contiguous layers running trans
versely, until ho had a solid body somo
three Inches thick nnd of such great
strength that they were both moved to
laughter ns thoy gazed upon it.
Here the greatest difficulty confronted
Clayton, for ho hnd no means whereby,
to hang his massive door, now thnt ho
had built It. After two days' work, how
ever, he succeeded In fashioning two mas
sive hardwood hinges, and with these he
hung the door so that It opened nnd closed
easily.
Tho stuccoing and other final touches
were added after they moved Into the
house, which thoy had done as soon as
tho roof was on, piling their boxes be
fore the door at night nnd thus having
n comparatively safe and comfortable
habitation.
' Tho building of a bed, chairs, table and
shelves was n relatively easy matter, so
that by tho end of tho second month thoy
were well settled, and, but for the con
stant dread of attack by wild beasts and
the over-growing loneliness, they were not
uncomfortable or unhappy.
At night great beasts snarled and
rn.ired about their tiny cabin, but, so
accustomed may ona become to oft-re-
Pfa-te?"0lCS: .?' :,"", eL?v"

wholo night tnrougn.
Thrice hnd they caught fleeting
glimpses of great manlike figures Ilka
that of tho first night, but never at suffi
ciently close range to know positively)
whether the half-seen forms were thoso
of man or brute.
Tho brilliant birds nnd the little mon
keys had become accustomed to their new
acquaintances, and as they had evidently
never seen human beings before, they
presently, after their nrst fright had.
wnrn off. annroached closer and closer.
Impelled by that strange curiosity which
dominates the wild creatures of the for
est and the Jungle and the plain, so that
within the first month several of tha
birds had gone so far aa even to accept
morsels of food from the friendly hands,
of the Claytons.
One afternoon, while Clayton was -working
upop an addition to their cabin, for
he contemplated building several mora
rooms, a number of their grotesque little;
friends came shrieking and scolding
through tho trees from the direction of
the ridge. Ever as they fled they cast
fearful glances back of them, nnd finally
they stopped near Clayton, Jabbering ex.
cltedly to him as though to warn him
of approaching danger.
At last he saw It. the thing the llttleJ
monkeys so feared the man-brute of.
h hlch the Claytons had caught occasional
fleeting glimpses.
It was approaching through the Jungle
in a semicircle position, now and then
placing the backs of its closed fists upon
tho ground a great anthropoid ape, and.
as It advanced, It emitted deep guttural
growls and an occasional low barking
sound. )
Clayton was at aorne distance from the
cabin, having come to fell a particularly
perfect tree for his building operations.
Grown careless from months of continued
safety, during which time they had seen
no dangerous animals during the day
light hours, he had left but rifle and re
volvers all within the little cabin, and
now that he saw the great ape crashing
through the underbrush directly toward
hlro. and from a direction which prac
tically cut him off from escape, he felt
a vague little shiver play up and down
his spine.
Jle knew that, armed only with an axe,
his chances with thla ferocious monster
were small indeed and Alice. O God,
ho thought, what wltj become of Alice?
There was yet a slight chance of reach
ing the cabin. He turned and ran toward
It shouting an alarm to hla wifn to run
in and le tb srA door la eao the.
as eut oK hi retrL
1-idy CTji9km had la Mlus a 1H
tie way from the cabin, and when alio
heard his cry she looked Up to see the npo
springing with almost Incredible swift
ness for so large nnd awkward an nnl
rrlal. In nn effort to head off Clayton.
With a low cry she sprang toward tho
cabin, nnd, ns she entered, gave n back
Ward glance which filled her soul with
terror, for tho bruto had Intercepted her
husband, who now stood nt bay grasp
ing his axe with both hnnds ready to
swing It upon tho Infuriated animal when,
ho should mako his final chargo.
"Closo nnd bolt tho door, Alice," cried
Clayton, "I can finish this fellow with
my nxe."
But ho knew he was facing a, horrible
itpatb. nnd an did she.
This ape was n great bull, weighing)
probably 300 pounds. Ills nnaty, close
sit visi clr-nmod hatred from beneath
his shaggy brows, while his great cnnlno
fangs wero bared In a horrid snarl as ho
paused a moment before his prey.
Over tho bruto's shoulder Clayton could
seo tho doorway of his cabin, not 20 paces
distant, nnd a grant wavo of horror and
fenr swept over him ns ho saw his young:
wife emerge, nrmed with ono of hie rifles.
Sho had always been afraid of firearms,
and would never touch them, but now
sho rushed toward the npo with tho fear
lessness of n. llonoss protecting Its young.
"Back, Alice," shouted Clayton, "for
God's Hake, go back."
But sho would not heed, nnd Just then
tho npo charged, so that Clayton could
say no more.
Tho man swung his axo with all his
mighty strength, but tho powerful brute
seized It In those tcirlhlo hnnds. and
tearing It from Clayton's grnsp hurled
It far to one side.
With nn ugl snnrl ho closed upon his
defenseless victim, but ere his fangs
of Alice Clayton
had reached tho throat they thlrstod for,
thero was n sharp report, and n bullet
entered tho apo's back between his shoul
ders. Throwing Clayton to tho ground, tho
beast turned upon hie new enemy. Thero
beforo him stood tho terrified girl vainly
trying to tiro nnothcr bullet Into tho ani
mal's body; but she did not understand
the mechanism of tho firearm, and tho
hammer fell futllely upon an empty
cartridge.
Screaming with rage and pain tho apo
flew nt tho delicate woman, who went
down beneath him to merciful uncon
sciousness. Almost simultaneously Clayton re
gained his feet, and without thought of
the utter hopelessness of It, ho rushed
forward to drag tho apo rrom his wife's
prostrate form.
With Uttlo or no effort ho succeeded,
and tho great bulk rolled Inertly upon
tne turf before him tho npo was dead.
The bullet had done Its work.
A hasty examination of his wife re
vealed no marks upon her, and Clayton
decided that tho hugo brute had died
tho Instant ho had sprung townrd Alice.
Gently ho lifted his wife's still uncon
scious form and bore her to tho Uttlo
cabin, but It was fully two hours beforo
she regained consciousness.
Her first "words filled Clayton with
vague apprehension. For Borne time after
regaining her senses, Alice gazed won
derlngly nbout the Interior of the little
"!". d then, vrlth a satisfied sigh,
aal(j
"O, John, It Ib so good to be really
hornet I have had an awful dream, dear. I
thought we wero no longer In London,
but In somo horrible place where great
beasts attacked us."
"There, there, Alice," he said, Btroklngi
her forehead, "try to sleep again, and
do not worry your head about bad
dreams."
That night a little son was born In tho
tiny cabin besldo tho primeval forest,
while a leopard screamed before the door,
and the deep notes of a lion's roar
sounded from beyond tho ridge.
Lady Qreystoke never recovered from
the shock of the great ape's attack, nnd,
though she lived for a year after her
baby was born, she was never again)
outside the cabin, nor did she ever fully
realize that she waa not In England.
Sometimes she would question Clayton,
as to the strange noises of the nights;
the absence of servants and friends, and
tho strange rudeness of the furnishings
within her room, but, though he made no
effort to deceive her, never could she
grasp the meaning of It all,
In other ways she was quite rational,
and tha joy and happiness she took In the
possession of her little son and the con
stant attentions of her husband made
that year a very happy one for her, the
happiest of her young life.
That It would have been beset by wor
ries and apprehension had she been In full
command of her mental faculties Clay
ton well knew; so that while he suffered
terribly to see her so, there were times
when he was almost glad, for her sake,
that she could not understand.
Lone since had he given up any hope
of rescue, except through accident. With
unremitting zeal he had worked to beau
tify the Interior of the cabin.
Skins of lion and panther covered the
floor. Cupboards and bookcases lined the
wall. Odd vases made by his own hand
from the clay of the region held beau
tiful tropical flower. Curtains pf grass
and bamboo covered the windows, and,
most arduous task of all, -with his meagre
assortment of tools he had fashioned
lumber to neatly oeal the walla and cell
ing and lay a smooth floor within the
cabin.
That he had been able to turn hi hands'
at all to such unaccustomed labor was a
source of mild wonder to him. But ha
loved the work because It was for her
and tha tiny life that bad come to cheer
them, though adding a hundredfold to
his responsibilities and to the terrlble
&sm of hi situation.
During the year that followed. OIv-

tlnually Ihfest the vicinity of the cablii!
but as he never again ventured otltsldo
without both rifle and revolvers, he had
little fear bf the huge beasts.
He had strengthened the window pro
tections nnd fitted a unique wooden loclc
to tho cabin door, so that when ho hunted
for game and fruits, as It was constantly
necessary for him to do to Insure sus
tenance, he had no fear that any animal
could break Into the little home.
At first he shot much of the game from
tho cabin windows, but toward the end!
tho animals learned to fear tho strango
lair whence Issued tho terrifying thunder
of hli rifle.
In his lelauro Clayton read, often aloud
to his wife, from tho store of books he
.had brought fdr their new home, Among)
these wero many for Uttlo children pic
ture books, primers, readers for they had
known that their Uttlo child would brt
old enough for such beforo they might
hopo to return to England,
At other times Clayton wrote 1n his
diary, whloh ho had nlwayB been accus
tomed to keep In French, and In which ho
recorded tho details of their strange life.
This book ho kept locked In a Uttlo
metal box,
A year from tho day her Uttlo son was
born Lady Allco passed quietly away In
tho night. So peaceful was her end that
It was hours before Clayton could awako
to n realization that his wlfo was dead.
Tho horror of tho situation came to htm
very slowly, nnd It Is doubtful that ho
over fully realized tho enormity of his
sorrow nnd tho fearful responsibility
that had devolved upon him with thd
caro of thnt wco thing, his son, fltlll m
nursing bnbo.
Tho Inst entry In his diary wns made
tho morning following her denth, and)
thero ho recites tho sad details In a matter-of-fact
way that adds to tho pathos
of It; for It breathes n. tired apathy born
of long sorrow and hopelessness, which
even this cruel blow could senrccly awako
to further suffering!
My Uttlo son Is crying for nourishment
-O Alice, Alice, what shall I do?
And ns John Clayton wrote the last
words his hand Wns destined ever to
pen, ho dropped his head wearily tipoix
his outstretched nrms where they rested
upon tho table ho hnd built for her who
lay still nnd cold In tho bed besldo him.
For a long tlmo no sound broke tho
doathllko stillness of tho jungle midday
savo tho piteous walling of the tiny man
child. (CONTINUED TOMORROW,)

"Well, Where's the rest of the stuff?"
Mason Insisted.
"I don't know. I tell you 1 know noth

It got whero you found It. Bomebody must
have put It there." Bally caught her dis
tracted head between her hands and tried
her best to compose' herself. But It w"
useless! tho evidence was too frlghtruliy
clear agnlnst her; hysteria threatened.
"Mrs. Standlsh gavo mo mo biuuis".
sho stammered wildly, "rolled up as yo.l

"Oh, como. Miss Manwarlng you M

"If you are possibly Innocent, composo
yourself nnd provo It. If you are guilty,
you may as well confess and not strain
our patience any longer. But don't try
to drag mo Into tho affair; I won't havo
It."
"I guess thero Isn't much question of
Innocence or guilt." Mason commented.
"Hero's evidence enough. It only remains
to locato tho rest of tho loot. It'll ho
easier for you," ho addressed Bally di
rectly, "It you own up como through
with n straight story and savo Mrs. Qos
nold trouble and expense."
Ho paused encouragingly, but Sally
shook her head.
"I enn't tell you anything," sho pro
tested, "i don't know anything. It's
somo horrible mistake Or else-It's a
plant to throw suspicion on mo nnd divert
it from tho real thief?"
"riant?" Miss Prldo quorled with n spe

"Thieves' Jargon manufactured evi
dence," Lyttlcton explained.
"Ah, yes," said tho old mam Willi a nou
of satisfaction.
"If It's a plant, It's up to you to snow
up," Mason camo back. "If It Isn't, you
may as well lend us to tho rest of It,
quick."
"You'vo looked everywhere, I pre3Umo7"
kyttloton Inquired casually.
"Everywhoro I can tninK of in ims

averred; "and I'm a pretty good llltto

I'm willing to swear thcro's no more Jew

"Unless, perhaps, she's got It on her

"Thnt might be, of course," Mason al

somehow I don't think so. If sho hnd,
why would she havo left this ono pleco

"Still," Lytttcton persisted, "ought you

Miss Prldo stirred smartly. "It's not

With a tremendous effort Sally whipped

her forceful self.
"I will not bo searched," eho said with
determination. "With Mrs. Qosnold pres
ent yeB, anything. Find her, and I'll
BUbmlt to any Indignity you can think of.
But If Mrs. Standlsh nnd Miss Prldo think
I will permit them to search mo In her
absence "
Sho laughed shortly. "They'd bcttci
not try It that's all!" nnd on this vnguo
threat turned away nnd throw herself
back Into tho chair.
"I'm sure," Mies Prldo ngreed, "I'd
much rathor not, for my part. And dear
Abigail Is bo peculiar. Perhaps It would
bo best to wnlt till she gets back."
"Or hunt her up," Lyttleton nmonded.
"I guess you're right," Mason ngreed. a
traco dubiously.
"But what will you do with the girl In
the meantime? Take her to Jail?"
"No; I guess not yet not until wo sco
what Mrs. Gosnold thinks, anyway. Sho
ought to be safo enough here That door
locks; wo'll take the key. Sho can't got
out of tho window without risking her
neck and If sho did make a getaway un
injured, sho can't leave the Island beforo
morning. Lot's movo along, ns you say,
and seo If wo can't find Mrs, Gosnold."
Skirts rustled behind Sally's sullen back
and feet shuffled. Then tho door closed
softly and sho heard the key rattle In the
lock.
Sho sat moveless, stunned, aghast.
Strangely, she did, not weep; her spirit
was bruised beyond tho consolation of
tears.
The wall upon which her vacant vision
focused waa not more blank nnd white
than her despair was blank nnd black.
Sho was utterly bereft of hopo; no ray
penetrated that hloak darkness circum
scribing her understanding.
Now the last frail prop had been knock
ed from under her precarious foothold in
the faith and favor of Mrs. Oosnold,
As to the Identity of the enemy who had
done this thing Sally entertained not a
shadow of doubt, though lacking this
proof she could not have believed sho
owned one so vindictive, ruthless and
fiendishly Ingenious.
But after what had happened It seemed
most Indisputable that Lyttleton, not con
tent with avenging his overnight discom
fiture by his unscrupulous lie, had delib
erately plotted and planted this additional
false evidence against the girl to tho end
that she might beat out her Ufa against
the stone walla of a penitentiary.
And if he hadn't Btolen the Jewels, what
else was that "private matter" ho had
been bo anxious to keep quiet that ho was
willing to purchase Sally's silence even at
the cost of making lovo to her? And it
not he, who had been the thief whose
Identity Mrs. Oosnold was so anxious to
conceal that sho had invented her silly
scheme for extracting an anonymous con
fession? her statement to tha contrary
notwithstanding that Lyttleton had not
stolen the jewels and that she knew posi
tively who had! The man waa a favorite
of Mrs, Qosnold's; she had proved It too
often hy open Indulgence of his nonsense,
lie amused her. And It seemed that in
"this milieu the virtue of being amusing
outweighed all vices.
Now, doubtless, the truth of the matter
would never come out.
In panto terror Sally envisaged the bar
red window of tho spinster's prophecy,
To this, then, had discontent with her
lowly lot In Ufa brought her, to the
threshold of a felon's celt.
Surely, she was well paid out for her
foolishness.
After some time she found that she
had left her chair and waa ranging wildly
to and fro between the door and window,
She halted, and the mirror of her dressing-table
mocked her with the. counter
felt presentment of herself, pallid and
distraught In the petty prettlne&a of her
borrowed finery,
In a sudden seizure of passion sho
fairly tore the frock from her body,
wrecking It beyond repair
Then, calmed somewhat hy reaction
from this transport, she reflected that
presently thsy lypujd be coming to drag
her oft to Jail, and she roust be dressed
and readv. ,
Turning to her wardrobe, aha tlepld
It soberest garment the blue serge
tailored cult advised by Mr. Standlsh-
and donned them.
This done, she packed a hand-bag wltn
A few necessities, pat down, and waited.
Tho minute cf that vigil dragged Ilka
hours. Bh began to, reallxe thRt it was
SrowiWf vwy late. Th euwt of the
fet t:id ail departed. The stuvte had
cje sia bftin ctUapad. Lookifig frunj1
her window, sho saw tho terrace and
gardens cold nnd empty In the moon
light. And at this sight temptation to folly
assailed her ond the counsel of depalr
prevailed.
There was none to prevent tho attempt
and tho drop from tho window-sill to
tho turf wns not more thnn 12 feet. Sho
risked, It wns true, n sprained nnklo, hut
sho ran n chnnco of escaping. And' even
It flho had to limp down to tho beach,
thero wero boats to be found there row
boats drawn up on tho sand and thero
was tho baro possibility that sho might be
ablo to row across tho strait to the
mainland beforo her flight wns dis
covered. And oven If overtaken, sho could bo no
woreo off thnn sho was. Every ono be
lieved her guilty; thero was no way for
ncr to prove her Innocence.
Sho might better chanco tho adven
ture. On frantic Impulse, without giving her
self tllno to welsh the dangers, Sally
switched oft her light, sat down on tho
window-sill, swung her legs over, and let
herself down until sho hung by tho grip
of both hands upon tho sill.
And then she repented. Sho was of a
BUddan terribly nfrald. Itemomberlng too
Into tho high heels of her slippers, sho
discounted tho certnlnty of a turned
ankle which would hurt frightfully cvon
If It failed to Incnpacatalo her totally.
For tho llfo of hor sho could not release
her grnsp, though already tho drag of
her weight1 was beginning to cause a
most perccptlblo acho in tho muscles of
her arms,
Sho panted with frlght-nnd caught her
broath on a sob to hear herself called
so.ftly from below,
"Miss Manwaringl .For tho love of
Trego I
Sho looked down and confirmed recog
nition of his volco with tho sight of his
upturned faco of amazement, Ho stood
almost Immediately beneath her. Heaven
or tho hell that brewed her misad
ventures nlono knew whero ho had como
from so inopportunely. Still, thero ho
Was.
"What nro you doing? What's tho
matter?" ho called ngaln-nnd again soft
ly, so that his volco did not carry far.
Sho wouldn't answer. For ono thing,
sho couldn't think what to sny, Tho ex
planation was at once obvious nml un
speakably foolish of her.
Her hands wero slipping. Sho gritted
her teeth and kicked convulsively, but de
corously, seeking n foothold on tho
smooth faco of the wall that wnsn't there.
At this his tono changed. Ho under
stood what was happening. Ho camo
more nearly under nnd planted himself
with widespread feet nnd outstretched
arms.
"You can't hold on thero any longer."
ho insisted. "Let go. Drop. I'll catch
you."
Only tho mortification of that prospect
norved her aching fingers to retain their
grip as long as they did which, how
ever, was not overlong.
Sho felt herself slipping, remembered
thnt she mustn't scream, whatever hap
pened, experienced an lnstnnt of shuddci
Ing suspense, then nn Instantaneous eter
nity wherein, paradoxically, part of her
seemed still to be clinging to tho window
ledge whllo most of her was spinning
giddily down through n bottomless pit,
saw tho grinning moon reel dizzily In the
bluo vault of heaven and with a little
shock Innded squarely In tho arms of
Mr. Trego.
Ho staggered to somo extent, for she
wns a solidly constructed young per
Bon, but recovered cleverly and had tho
Impudenco to seem nmuscd. Sally's flrst
Impression on regaining grasp of her wits
was of his smiling face, bent over hers,
of a low chuckle, and then, to her com
pleto stupefaction, that she wns beln,j
kissed.
Ho went nbout that business, having
committed himself to It, In n most busl-ncss-llko
fashion; he kissed (as ho would
havo said) for keeps, kissed her lips
hungrily, ardently, and most thoroughlv;
ho had been wanting to for n long tlmo,
and now thnt his time was como he
mado tho most of It.
Sho was at first too stunned nnd
shocked to resist. And for nnothcr mo
ment n curious medley of emotions kept
her Inert In his nrms, of which tho most
coherent waa a lunatic notion thnt she,
too, had been wanting Just this to hap
pen, Just this way, for tho longest time.
And when at length sho remembered
and felt her nnger mounting and was
ready to struggle, ho disappointingly Bet
uer uuwii upon ner reel.
"There!" ho snld with satisfaction.
"Now that's settled nnd a. good Job
too!"
Sho turned on him furiously.
"How dared you "
"Didn't I deservo it. catching you tho
way I did?" ho asked, opening his eyes
In mock wonder nt her, "And didn't you
deservo It for being bo silly as to try
anything like that?" Ho Jerked his heud
toward that window. "What on earth
possessed you "
"Don't you know? Don't you under
stand?" sho stormed, "i'vo been nccused
of stealing Mrs. Gosnold's Jewels-locked
up. You knew that Burely!"
"What an Infernal outrage!" ho cried
IndlgnnnHy. "No, I didn't know It. How
would I? I"-ho faltered-'Tve been ha
lng troubles of my own."
That drove In like a knife-thrust the
...c.u.j, ui mo scene in tne garden with
Mrs. Artemas. Tho girl recoiled from
him as from something Indescribably
loathsome,
"Oh!" she cried In disgust. you are
too contemptible!"
A third voice cut short his retort, a
hall from above, "Hello, down i there
With a start Sally looked up Her win,
dow was alight again, nnd somebody was
leaning head and shoulders out
"Hello, I say! Is that tho Manwarln
woman? Stop her; she's escaping amst!"
