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. liy V-'rtful (untlonlng of Horace It idUo he had located the upot the WtMds' where lh xy had seen Xed Ami'iMir thought he had seen him but the detective had not succeeded In g.'tUng a eff-w at that point which would guide hi in a single 'inch In the di rection which the ihuntcd criminal had taken. It 711111111 be nimomlfored that the cap ture of Ned Ames was desired for a dou ble tvuMifl. Mulligan had been pursu ing him forweiks as one of tha Hhrewd wt active operators n a. leagu ? of Ngh grade thieves which had given the Bos ton polle no end of trouble. Kven If 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.

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?" ' . . Alteration Price. : -. BARGAINS. i HOW 3 3-4c ji China Silk, all HOW 3 3-4C !

"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."

"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 - 'iff Alteration Price. BARGAINS. now....'.20c. Children's Black Hose, seam-! j less, 5 to Sli 110W 43C. Ladies' Kid hook I10W ?9c. Ladies' Handkerchiefs, all i now 02c. kinds.

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." (To be continued.) Gilmores Aromatic Wine A tonic for ladies.
