She's a friend Indeed, Shirley's n good friend," , Thero was an embarrasslne pause In which both were silent. Apparently sho was nenlnir herself to go on. Presently cour age came, and sho said: "Will you tell me, please, what my hus band's chances arc?" "Rvery man Is bupposcd to bo Innocent until he It proved guilty nut first as last, I may as well Inform ou, Mrs. Challoner, that I can do nothing, absolutely nothing, for you.

It was a clean cut profile, and upon Its contour there was no sign of yielding. After a whllo ho looked up and said: "I am very sorry for you, Mrs. Chal loner, and I dlsUko Intensely to hurt your feelings. But do you reallzo that your husband shot this riian In a quar rel over " Mrs. Challoner qulcldy cut him Bhort "That woman I What do I caro for that ! You don't know what my husband Is to mo! I lovo him no matter what ho has done. Resides, it was nil my fault. Let mo tell you how It was. Laurie wanted money hl money was gono ho had spent It all, and " Murgatroyd held up his hand, "I cannot let you speak this way. You aro ntmply supplying mo witti evidence against him," 'And 1 refused hlm," continued tho wo man, too excited to hear what the prosecu tor wns saying. "I hardened my heart against him drove hlm from home, and then this dreadful thing happened." "It would bo dastardly In me to listen further. You aro making your husband's guilt moro evident with every word. When Margraves was found he had been robbed ot ten thousand dollars!" And with that Murgatroyd roso us if to indicate that tho Interview was at nn end. "Thero 13 nothing I can do.

All of a sudden her attitude changed. Mistrustfully she peered about her onco more, then lean ing forward over toward Murgatroyd, she whispered: "We are alone? Tho lawyer regarded her with pardonablo curiosity before ha answered : "Yes. Why do you ask?" Mrs. Challoner wrung her hands; she seemed uncertain how to proceed. In the end she said; "I am going to do a terrible thing. It frightens me altBOst to death. I don't know how to beglh, but my lovo for Laurlo Is my excuse for what I have to eay, I liope you won't misunderstand me.

"I would do anything to win her," ho spoko up quickly; evidently sho took tho rest for granted, for sho continued to per Ccre: "I know that you hae great ambitions; and with such a. girl nt your sldo thero Is no tcason why jou should not become a preit man." This sudden Interest on her part In mat ters concerning his future for the moment tatt ed him .eertheless ho was conscious of a derlihd sensation of relief that the rotnersation had taken Ha present course; nnd her 'words, "with such a girl at your side," found a wtlcomo In h's heart. On her part, Mrs. Challoner was becoming moro and moio composed And nyw. In a oIco that bcemed to hlm ringing with con Mctlon, she went on: 'You will hao up-hill work, I know. Your party Is ngalnst you nnd all that sort of thing; but, If only for Shirley's sake, I want jou ou must succeed'" For homo reason which ho did not at tempt to explain Murgatroyd found himself actually confessing to this woman that ho thought he uVencd to win out. "It's only money that you lack, I know " she xentured now "With money they couldn't keep you down With money of your own" sho stopped abruptlj ; tho tension was getting too much for her. 1'icently sho oiled out, "Oh. Mr. Murga- tiojd, don't you see what I mean, nnd won't jou help me?" Rut ho failed to understand her mean ing and was obliged to ask her to explain herself. Ho was staling hard at her now. "Only this, Mr. Murgatroyd," sho said, meeting his gazo. "I will gio jou $100, 000 to set my husband free !" Murgatroyd Instantly sprang to his feet. "You mean to brlbo mo I" Miriam Challoner cowered before hlm Sho had not put the matter to him In quite tho way sho had Intended. Sho was des perately afraid that she had destroyed all hopo of success by blurting it out like this. "I'lcaso don't bo hard on me condemn me," sho begged as one before tho Judgment seat. "I know It's nwful!" For a full moment Murgatroj-d fastened his gazo on her face. Then ho walked to tho door, stepped Inside tho ault nnd satis fled himself that thoro was no ono there, looked Into eeij- corner of tho room and underneath tho tahlo ; and when at last ho was convinced that ho had taken eery pre caution, ho came back and stood directly In front of the woman and told her to repeat what sho had said. In fear and ticmbllng sho reiterated her words : "I wfU'gUe j-ou ono hundred thousand dollars to set my husband free!" "Mrs. Challoner," tho prosecutor nsked, falling Into his habit of putting fingertip to fingertip, 'how much money hae j-ou?" "In all?" Murgatioj-d nodded. "In Just a minute " With a hard look on his face Murgatroyd watched her pull a llttlo book from a bag, watched her tako out tho stub of a pencil, waited whllo sho busied herself in adding llgure3, waited until at tho end of a short calculation sho looked up at him and made kuo,n tho result. "In all, I have about eight hundred and sl.xty thousand dollars left." "What?" exclaimed tho prosecutor, unable to conceal his astonishment. For slnco ho had begun his Investigation It had come to him that Mrs. Challoner's affairs wero In a bad waj. A moment later ho said, "And about eight hundred thousand dollars or so Is " "All In negotlablo securities," she prompt ly assured him, "payablo to bearer. I get sK and seven per cent on somo of them tho old ones." "Where aro these securities?" "In tho Fidelity Safo Deposit xaults." "In addition to these," went on Muiga troyd, "j'ou hao your houso on the avenue?" "Yes. There's a small equity In It." Ho raised hl3 ejebrows. "It Is subject to mortgage, then?" "Of course," sho answered glibly. "I get rK per cent on most of my securities and have to pay only four and a half on my mortgage. It would hao been foolish to paj' It off." Murgatroyd smiled a cold smite. "You'ro quite a business woman, Mrs. Challoner." "I have to be," she acknowledged with a smllo that was Intensely pathetic. "And that's all you have?" ho asked a moment later. "Absolutely." "Your house," mused Murgatroj'd, half to himself, "will tako care of Thome's fee." "How much will that bo?" Murgatroyd Jerked his head nervously. "Thorne? Oh, ho'll tako all ho can get!" Thero was a short silence which Murgutroyd suddenly broke. "Mrs. Challoner, j-our at tempt to brlbo Is no longer an nttempt. You havo succeeded. I shall set your hus band frcol" Mrs. Challoner smiled whllo tha tears trickled down her cheeks. "I shall got J'ou tho hundred thousand dollars right away," bho Bald, as If It wera a mcro bagatelle. "Just one moment, please," continued Murgatroydl;wavlng her back Into her seat, for she had risen. "I shall, set j'our hus band freo for eight hundred and sixty thou sand dollaisl" Miriam Challoner leaned back In her chair. Sho seemed to hesitate. "For everything I have I" sho muttered half aloud. Murgatroyd reached over and touched her on the arm and repeated In tha name tone: "Everything you hael" And added, "Surely you did not think that I would sell mj-self for less?" "No, no, of course not," she faltered. "I xvlsh I had millions to glva you. You are a good man you aro doing a good act" Murgatroyd shook his head and said 'somewhat impatiently: "Mrs. Challoner, this Is a business trans action; let us closa It. You can get those securities today, I BUppose?" "Yes," sho replied In the next breath, the ftush of Joy still on her face. "Then do bo, please." Ills voice was hoarse now. "And bring them to me here wrapped up tn brown paper. You under stand that nobody must know ftbottt this. u . u .4t. ' Ia'U tk" T . ,i , Rut Murgatroyd purposely Ignored her hand nnd abruptly turned away, saying: "This matter must bo closed nt onco." And with a confident "I'll bo back In half an hour." Mrs. Challoner passed out of the door, which Murgatroyd l.ad softly and nolselesslj- unlocked. .... Tho man who presently was brought out of tho barred anteroom and tnken before tho prosecutor might havo been -iftny thing from n floorwalker of a big department store to a manager of a renowned raths keller. It was evident from tho manner In which ho boro himself while under the constant surveillance of tho minions of tho law that ho was perfectly ot home In the presence of strangers, and that un usual situations did not feczo him. In tho matter of general adornment of the person, however, l'emmlcan of tha low brow was an exception to his class' no diamond blazed from his shhtfront or fingers; moreover, ho was dressed in tho most somber of blacks, nnd under his soft felt hat of tho samo color tho hair was brushed forward with cciuptilous care. Tho long, thin, smooth-shaven face, tho little, deep-set eyes, the nbnormnllj low brow, which was accen tuated by this odd arrangement of his hair, the pastj complexion, all gave ono tho Im pression of dignified sleekness. In other words, one could easily have pictured the man as performing In a most Impressive manner tho last offices needed by man hero below. To sum up, tho nttltudo of tho man now waiting for tho prosecutor to nddress hlm Pemmlcan of the low brow nlwaj-s knew his place produced the effect of distressed meekness.

Responsibility for further delay in enact ing the food-control bill will rest with tho Senate, Houso leaders declared today. Tho Houso met determined to adopt tho conference report. Although thero wero promises of caustic criticism of soma fea tures of tho bill, Chairman Leve'r asserted thero was no doubt about Its acceptance. Tho Houso has emerged victoriously In two respects from tho conference with Sen ato managers. Its conferees obtained tho eliminate from tho bill of the congres sional war committee, unalterably opposed by President Wilson, and the Senate amend ment creating a three-member foojl control board This leaves tho way clear for Her bert C. Hoover alone, as desired by Mr. Wilson. Rut the offsets to tho House victory are so Important that Senato leaders assert the result of tho conference was a draw. They point to tho House's acceptance In slightly modified form of tho Senate prohibition amendment. Whereas tho House originally proxlded a "bone-dry" clause In tho bill. It emerged from conferenco only slightly modi fled from tho form In xvhlch It passed tha Senate. The manufacture of distilled spirits Is forbidden, tho President recedes dis cretionary authority to limit tho manufac ture of malt and x'Inous liquors nnd may commandeer for public uso spirits In or out of bond. Tho other principal concession by tho Houso xvas acceptance of tho Senate's $2 a bushel mfilmum for wheat. Tho Houso appeared to bo resigned to giving up tho congressional war committee proxlded In a Senato amendment when It became known a moxemont Is afoot to press that Idea In a separate measure.
