Anthony hud left Aihiiny for the west on Sunday night und could not bo located for a few days "He was never gone when I needed money," the sou mused "llu'll lie worried when ho hears about this, nnd lie has enough to worry him as It Is. I'm mighty sorry, but f simply must have him" Anson brought In the day's papers, which alluded, ns usual, to C'ortlnnilt'u death ns a murder, nnd printed their r'listomaiy nensiitlon.nl stories, even to n rehash of all that bad occurred nt the stag supper. This In partlonliir made Kirk writhe, knowing lis be did that It would reach tho eyes of Ills newly umdo wlfo. He nlso wondered vaguely how Edith Cortlandt was hearing up under nil this notoriety. The lawyer brought the further news that Allan was In cnptlvlty ns nn ac cessory to the crime nnd that hence forth Klrlc need expect but few vis itors. Somebody, probably Ilaiiion Al fnrez, had Induced the otliolalB to treat their prisoner with special severity. During the days which followed, Kirk suffered more than he those to confess even to tils attorney. In tho first place, It was hard to be denlud all knowledge of what was roIiik on Anson would tell him little, except Hint ho was working every diiy-nnd then, too. tho long hours or solitude gnawed at his self control, iiimnels run ringed to see 111 in once or twice, reporting that, so far ns he could learn, Cbiuulla had disappeared. Ho took a message from Kirk to her, but brought back word that he could not deliver it. It was on Sunday, a week after his arrest, that Kdlth Cortlandt enme to Kirk. He was surprised to seo the ravnges that tills short tinio hail made In her, for she was palo and drawn und weary looking, ns If from sleepless ness. Strange to say, these markB of Buffering did not detract from iier ap pearance, but rather enhanced her polne and distinction. "I'm awfully glad to bi- you, Mrs. Cortlandt," be said us she extended her hand. "Hut do you think it wits wise for you to conic V" She shrugged. "People can any no more than they have already said. My name Is on every tongue, and a little more gossip enn mane uintti no worse. I bad to coiiui, I Just couldn't stay away. I wonder if you can rail ize what I have been through." "It must have been terrible," ho said gently. "Yes, I have paid. It hccuih to mo that 1 have pnld for everything I ever did. Those newspaper storlen nearly killed me, but It wam't that ao much as the thought that you were suffering for my acta." "I'm very sorry. You never thought for a moment that I did what they clalrar "No, no! It has all been n mistake from the flrttt I was Mire of that." "You heard what those two men tes tttied?" "Hah! That Is Harnon Alfarez. But he can do nothing. You will forgive me for what I said that night at the hotel, won't you? I didn't really menu to Injure you. Kirk, but I wan half hysterical. I had Buffered so these last few months that I was ready to do anything. I never dreamed there wiih wny out of my inlnery, way mo close at hand. But somehow, even la fore Oneral Alfarez' voice on the phone told me what bad hnppt-ned knew, and I I felt" "I know you had a great deal to put up with." he said, "but for both on Bakes I wish It bad come In Borne Mil er way." "flh. I don't care." she cried reck lessly "The one thing I enn grasp In all this turmoil, the one thing thst ring" in my ears every moment, is that I am free, free! That N all that mut ters to me.' You showed yiur lojslty to Ktepheo more than once, and, though iWLl "I am free, freel" your scruples angered me, I honor you for them now." "Your husband's death can mnke no difference with us, Mrs. Cortlandt," he said gravely. "Wo have talked openly before, and there Is no need to do other wiso now. You menu by that that you don't care for me, but I know bettor. 1 believe there is a love so strong that It must find an answer. Although you may not care for ine now as you care for somoono else I know that 1 can make you forget her and put mo in her place. I can help you, oh, so much!" "Wall!" he said harshly. "You force mo to break my word. I don't want to tell you this, hut I am married." "You - never told uie that! It waa some iimil college prank, I suppose." "No, mi. 1 inn ri led (iertnidls Gani vel that night nt the Tivoll." "Oh, that can't he. That was tho night of the dance. Why didn't you tell me? Why isn't she hero? Why does she leave you alone? No, no! You hardly know each oilier. Why, she's not old enough to know her own mind" "Itut 1 know my mind, and 1 love her." Her white hands strained at each other as slm steadied her Blinking voice. "Ixive!" she died. "You dou't know what love means, nor does she. She can't know, or she'd bo here. Klie'd have tills prison torn block from block." "Veil don't know what you're saying You're liysleiical. Mrs. Cortlandt. I love (.erl mills so deeply that there's no room In me for anything else and never will he Heaven only knows what they hue made her bellevo about me, hut I don't care. I'll upset this) little plot of Alfarez', and when she learns the truth slut will come hack i gain."
