CHAPTER IV.
Frank Ames' Discovery.
In the afternKin of the following clay
Viw biitly rt ("latlittte Warren waa com
mitted t.i thf tomb.
Deteetlve Mulligan whose total lack
Of Irish clinracti'riHtlcs HUKgcMed that
hf could ilinl another name for hlmsi'lf
by liK.kln'B In his family libit' held
what he culled a omference, after the
fwicra'l. Nobody tlse was present. He
opened the dscu-Hliin by remarking to
himself that OhurKrtte beat any woman
lie ever knew fur kit-pus a secret.
"Never did I see a corpse that hnd
less to say," he remai ked. "She walked
a con si durable distance through the
Biaow, and got her dress and her shoes
wrt, and (hen ulie partially dried them
bi-fore a hot lire (her dress la scorched a
bit) awl that's all I know about what
Blie did In thl town."
The lire he surmised to have been that
which had burned in the room whre
Ned Ames' liily. or flt least his collln,
had lain on Thursday night. But that
was guesswork. He had failed to find
Bn.y tra.ee of the girl's presence In or
BJbout the Ames house. If she had np
proadhed the house in the usual way,
hir footprints had lxn obHteratfd by
those of the crawl thait had attended
the funeral. If she hail approached In
airy othur way, he could nut find out
vvlmt It was.
Ttwre was n,bo the puzzle of the
rewpon which had made U( h a pecu
11.19 wound. He had searched the Ames
house twice openly and once seoretly
an 1 had l.n'ilcd to find anything In It
which would answer the requirements
of tine Case.

Ami'iMir thought he had seen him
but the detective had not succeeded In

would guide hi in a single 'inch In the di

taken.
It 711111111 be nimomlfored that the cap

InnowntJ f the "murder, the young
man'fl liberty was forfeit ito the law.
In view of thaso facts Mulligan de
cided to try It again 1n the woods, on a
ftrmawhat. different "lay."
Rev. Air. Warn?m had formed a very
high oTlnlon of Mulligan's abilities, and

of the bloodhund in his heart, and
would yet track -the criminal down.
The clergyman grew Impatient when
ever Mulligan was out of his sight. He
wished to know very new fact ithe In
stant lit was 'brought to light. Only by
concentrating his mind upon the prob
lem ot detection could he keep his grief
wiithtn Ir. minis. Messed Is he who has
work to do ait such a time. Early In
the evening Frank Ames called upon
Mr. Warren, whom he found pacing his
study In eager expectation of a visit
from the detective. Frank brought
painful news. His mother had not ral
lied from the shock of the terrible scene
at the grave. On the oontrary, her en
durance 'had been so seriously over
taxed that, at her time of life, the
gravest results were to be feared. She
lay 111, and hud relapsed Into a merci
ful unconsciousness of her porrow. In
Ir. Maxwell's absence there wa no
compe.te.nt physlolan In Wllllston, and
lit had been necessary to teilegraiph for
otto ho lived Iih the Junction. He had
not then artllved. There never is any
lack of good nursing In a New lOngland
town, Ihowevur, and Samuel Ames had
foun.il aibundant help for the bedside of
his wife.
On hearing this news, the clergyman
thought It his duty to go at once to Mr.
Anted' ihuuss. Frank remailiMd with
Anna Warren. .
At such a t'lme, when the whole vil
lage falnly thronged with excitement.
It may not be a matter for wonder ithat
Frank Ames llspi!niyed agitation. Yet
Anna, who 'was at tremendous nervous
tension herself, could not help remark
Ing upon the condition of her compan
ion. The pallor of his face was
heightened by his heavy brows and
black mustache. His hands trembled.
He paced the little parlor In the manner
of one tortured by the most harrowing
yioughts. I
"The sight of you," said Anna, "makes
ma regard myself as a marvel of self
control." . ' "
He wheeled about suddenly and faced
her.
"And. the 'sight; of you," he said,
"makes' me lose what little self-control
I had before." t
His tone frightened her. Blip , asked
him with a 'trembling voice what he
meant by that.
"Anna," he said approaching her, "we
have been friends a good many years.
I remember you almost from the day
you were born, and I hnvc watched you
grow year by' 'year Into the beautiful
woman that you are tonight. .How
have you regarded me?"
"As a friend, certainly," said Anna,
"Have you ever had cause to think
ot-Vi rflse?" ' . .

"I'm afraid not," he replied, while his
lips quivered.
"I'pon my word I do not understand
you," cried the girl.
"If you could see my heart but there,
I frighten you. Yet I can't help it. I
have that to say to you tonight which
demands that both of us chould be
stronger than human flesh and blood
can be. Hometlilng has happened;
something that you do not suspect
any more than I did a few hours ago. I
believe that It gives me an opportunity
such as a thousand lives, if I might
live them one after Another on this
earth, would not bring the opportunity
of serving you in an emergency Involv
ing awful risks and the most harrowing
dilllculty."
He spoke wildly, yet with such evi
dent, deep purpose that the gill was
startled into calmness. There Is such
a possibility, though few there be who
are ever called upon to know It by ac
tual experience.
"Tell me exactly what you mean,"
she said, and the steadiness of her tone
amazed him.
"You love Robert Maxwell?"
"How can you ask me that? 1 am to
be his wife."
"I know that, but in this modern life
It means but little. Do you love him
enough to do him any service that one
human being can do another? Do you
love him as I love you? Htop! This Is
no time to evade and disguise the truth.
Hear me out. When I tell you what I
propose to do for you my disclosure will
h.:ve to be made. You will know that
no motive of human conduct save love
alone Is strong enough to account for It.
1 have mild It, and there Is an end. And
now for him. Does your love answer
the test?"
"I believe," said the girl firmly, "that
there Is nothing he could ask of me that
I would not do."
"He cannot ask It. You must do It
without the asking. You must serve
him nt your own cost, and at your own
risk, and at once."
"What does he requlre'of me?"
"Hurely you must suspect."
"I cannot guess your meaning."
"Where Is he now?" ' ' " '
"You know well enough. He Is In
lioston doing bis best to solve the mys
tery of my sister's death."
"Can you believe It? Do you not see
thnt his sudden departure Is a flight?
Not a word! You must hear me. Who
resisted to the utmost the opening of
that collln? Who has been most diligent
In casting suspicion upon my brother?
Who, at the disclosure of the secret of
that grave which so nearly closed over
the most horrible of crimes, was the
first to leave this place? Already the
detective suspects him, but It has been
reserved for me to find the, absolute
proof of his guilt." .
He spoke with 'such appalling con
viction, that his words froze the heart
of the girl. Yet che found strength to
say:
"I do not believe It.'! .
"Let us not waste time. Supposing
I convinced even you; supposing that
you could not longer doubt; would you
deliver him up to justice or would you
save him?"
"You cannot do It. Stay! I will
answer your question. I would save
him." .
"At what cost?" I . ,
"At any cost." '
They faced each other with uch In
tensity of deadly earnestness, that each
felt the other's thought as If it had been
a magnet lo force throbbing in the air
between them. , , . '.

manded. ., . i ;

THE FAIR
Again the awful calmness settled
upon her.
"I know now what you mean," she
said. "You have discovered strong evi
dence of Robert's guilt enough, doubt
less to satisfy you. In connection with
the old slander that Joined his name
with my sister's ruin, and, supported by
the strange fatality of his conduct, you
think that conviction would follow.
You have doubtless, discovered what I
know, namely, that his whereabouts on
Thursday night cannot be proven, be
cause he was driving alone on the road
that leads toward Lincoln. So the case
stands, and you propose to me that you
will bide the evidence which you possess
if I will promise to marry you, as the
price of It."
He bowed his head.
"What is your evidence?"
"If It is conclusive, have I your prom
ise?" "If It Is conclusive to whom?"
"To you."
"I am to be judge and Jury to con
him and sentence myself?"
He winced, but recovering himself in
stantly, answered firmly:
' "Yes; I trust wholly In your word."
"You huve It. Now for your evidence.
I have no fear of It.
"Wait it 111 you have heard. You
know that I suspected him from the
llrst. Itesi'lcs that, I believed that my
brother had really died and that his
"Coroo," She Sold, "I Must See It."
body was in the collln that I brought
here with me. I think there Is no doubt
that these facts will be established on
Investigation. You must know I had
some evidence of his death before I left
lioston. Against It Is only Horace Rid
dle's story, which you know to be worth
nothing. i
"The ense stood thus with me, and I
was confronted by the problom of the
disappearance of my brother's body. I
believe in fact, I now know that it
was taken from the collln and your sis
ter's substituted. Her full story I can
not pretend to read, but the detective
will do that. My attempt was o.llnd
my brother's body, and I have suc
ceeded!" To say that Anna. Warren heard this
statement with calmness would be to
pass the bounds of reason. Her heart
seemed to stop. Kven a woman may
doubt, though ordinarily she is spared
that misery by the absence of logic.
This disclosure removed Edward
Ames from the field of conjeoture. The
man whom she had believed to be
guilty had proven a" alibi measurable
only by the distance between this world
and the. next. Having been mistaken
in what she held to be pruotlcally cer
tain, her faith In all things was shaken
which is the way with women at
such exceptional moments. But faith
reasserted itself. As yet she had had

no proof. The mere finding of the body
could not convict her lover.
Yet she, shuddered at the question
which she must ask next, and her lips
moved almost without sound.
"Where was it?"
"In the old Maxwell house on High
street," he replied. "It Is there now."
Her face was like a mask of white
marble. She put her hand on his arm.
"Come," she said; "I must see It with
my own eyes."
