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. The enp

fore to withdraw with the crew from
the SIvra for the night an order such
as frrnuotitlv came to him. 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 , "

"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,

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.
