There was n huge blaik double headline aeioss llic entire top of the front page, with headlines of lesser degree, announcing the double suicide of the prominent voting financier Kenneth Harrison and of the grent singe favorite .Incksou Holt, on board the former's yneht.

Ou his re turn to the Slyra that morning at 11 o'clock, he had discovered the two dead men in thu cabin, nnd had at once sent for the police. Two automatics hnd been found, one shell discharged from each. The police imd ueclnred them in dubitable cases of suicide: there were no signs of death from any other pos sible cause. ,A scaled envelope had been found ou the cabin table nddressed to tho district attorney of New York county, which had been takeu straight to the district attorney. This letter might throw light upon the self-inflicted diaths of the two men. Jennie looked up from the sensa tional account. She dtew a long, be wildered breath Her husband dead Slim Jackson dead! She did not say this to herself consciously, but even more than ever did she have n sense that the din ma of her life was moving fast that day and was crowded with high incident and yet she herself was only im off-stage figure, who neither willed anything nor did anything. "t wonder what can he in that letter to the district attorney?" she breathed at length. "I wonder, too." said I'nele George. "I stopped in nt the district attorney' onice. and learned he had sent for Ken neth Harrison's father." After t'nele George had gone. Jennie kept on wondering, when she was not thinking of other matters, for nil hour or two or three. And then ngnin she was ushered across the P.ridgo of Sighs, and again into the office of the district attorney. She was much of an autom aton worn, ,-iek with herself, broken with grief, bewildered uith events moving chiefly because she was ordered or some one led her; not till later were her senses to understand and appreci ate the full significance of the hap penings of that day. I'nele George was iu the district at torney's office, and so was Officer Casey, and so was n bald, efficient -looking gentleman to whom she was in troduced as her nttorney, Sir. Anron son. She was given n chair at the corner of the district attorney's desk. "I suppose you have heard of the deaths of your husband and of Jack son Holt?" inquired the district at tornev , " ;Us, sir" I "I have licit" mi oiiL'iiinl dociiiiirtil. part in the handwriting of -each, iinii port signed by rneh. which it is jour privilege to rend nnd which I request you to read." Jennie took the heavy sheet of the Slyra stationery, nnd rend those con fessions that out in the cnhln of the rnin-pelted yneht hnd been written under the compulsion of lllnck Jerry's pistol, confessions which were now to stnud forever ns the unchallenged truth Having read them she looked up in bewilderment. "Why did you never declare that in this Harrison forgery business you were acting upon the dictation nnd only nvj the instrument of your husband?" de manded the district nttorney. She ipplied mechanically. "What with my old record, nnd with my hus band nnd his father chnrgiu'g me with it and donjitig nny connection with the matter no one would have believed inc. What would have been the use?" Her, answer obviously seemed con vincing to the district nttorney. lie took the document from her, "That leferenco to the police clos ing in on them, which was the motive for their "olf-destruction, is something which Officer Casey here seems thor oughly to understand." lie continued. "Sir. Harrison has been here todny, and when shown this .statement he full, corroborated his son I may say thnt he even wrnt fnither. I must go through ccrtnin iegal formalities, Sirs. Harri son. which may necessitate 3 our later appearance in court; but as n result of the-e development-. I ran say thnt proh ably neither thnt old-charge against jou nor the present more seiiotts otto will ever come to trial. 1 linvc, therefore, nrrnuged to have jou granted your lib erty in the custody of your counsel. That is all." Dazedly Jeunie allowed herself to bo led out, instinctively letting down the veil which hnd been part of the garb In which she hnd come to prison. "I Know jou were going to get tree live of the group halted t'nele Oeorge nnd spoko beseechingly. I'nele George turned to -.Tennie, "They're cnmern-iiten.
