"What about the revolver?

"She will be willing te tHfy te that

"And stand trial?"
"Net necessnrily. Clark veuld be en
tilnl. He's been indicted. He has te

"Why does he have te be tried? He s
free new. He's been free for ten years.

that the thing would kill her. Accident

"That's a chance she'll have e tak,

I "The only living witness vfhe could
'be called would be the valet. And re
(member this: for ten yean be haa be
lieved that ehe did It. He'll have built
up a story by thie time, perhaps un
consciously, that might damn her.'
Dick moved.
"There's only en thing te de.
Yea're right. Gergory. I'll new ex
pose her te that."
"You're crasy," Batwtt said angrily.
"Net at all. I told you I Treuldn't
hide behind a woman. As a matter of
fact, I've learned what I wanted.
Lucas wasn't murdered. I didn't ehoet
him. That's what really matters. I'm
no werse off than I was before een-sideraW-
better in fact. And I don't
see what'3 te be gained by going any
further."
In pite of his pretests, Bassett wee
compelled Anally te agTcc. He was
ulky and dispirited. He saw the pro
found anticlimax te all his effort of
Dick wandering out again, legally dead
nnd legnlly guilt, and he swere lound leund
ly under his breath.
"All nghr,' he grunted at last. "I
guess that's the last weid, Gregery.
But 0U tell her from me that if ehe
doesn't reopen the matter of her own
ncoerd. she'll have n man's Ufa en ber
conscience."
"I'll net tell her anything about lt.

any hole in the beat that float! me."
He was eelf-eenfldent and slightly1;
insolent ; the hand with which he lighted
a fresh cigarette no longer trembled,
and the glance he threw at Dick was
triumphant and hostile.
"As a man sews, Clark!" ht aald.
"Yeu sewed hell for a number of people
once."
Bassett had te restrain an Impulse
te kick him out of the deer. Wlien
he had cene Ham tnraari in TMeV
(with assumed lightness.
"Well," he said, "here we are, all
dressed up and newnere te gel"
lie wandered around the room, rest
less and disappointed. He knew, and
Dick knew, that they had come te the
end of the read, and that nothing lay
beyond. In his own unpleasant way
Fred Gregery had made a case for his
sister that tied their hands, and the
crux of the matter had lain in Ma final
gibe : "As a man sews, Clark, se shall
lie reap." The moral Issue was there.
"I suppose the Hlnes story gees by
the beard, eh?" he commented after
a pause.
"Yes. Except that I wish I'd known
about him when I could hare dent
something. He's my half-brother, any
wav you leek at It, and he had a rotten
deal. Sometimes a man bows," he
added, with n wry amile, "and the
ether fellow reaps."
Bassett went ent after that, going te
the office en the chance of a letter from
Melis, but there was none. When he
came back he found Dick standing erer
a partially packed suitcase, and knew
that they had come te the cud of the
read Indeed.
"What's the next step?" he asked
bluntlr.
"I'll have te leave here. It's tee
expensive."
''And after that, what?"
"I'll gt a job. I suppose u man
le ts well hidden here as anywhere.
I ran grew a beard that's the usual
thing, isn't It?"
Bassett made an impatient gesture,
and fell te pacing the rloer. "It's in
credible." he said. "It's monstrous.
It's a joke. Here you are, wlthent a

last clutch of Dick's hand had a sort
el desperate finality in It. and he car
ried with him most of the way home
the tall, worn and rather shabby figure
that aaw him off with a smile.
By the next afternoon's mall he re
