The assistant district attorney
pushed back his chair with a gesture
of weariness. “Is that all, Jack-
son?” he asked of the clerk at his
elbow.
“Here are the papers in the Mur
free case, Mr. Chalmers,” replied
the man, thrusting a sheaf of pa
pers before his superior. “Mr. Lan-
try was working on them when he
was stricken, and he made memo
randa of all the most important”—
“Very well. Leave them on my
desk, and 1 will go over the matter
this evening.”
When he was alone Chalmers
arose and paced the floor with
quick, impatient strides. His broad
shoulders hunched despondently,
and his genial face was graven in
lines of care as he went to and fro.
The day had been full of dis
agreeable happenings. He had re
turned that morning from a long
trip abroad to lind his chief strick
en with apoplexy on the eve of a
great legal fight. The principal
malefactor in this case was a rich
man, James White Murfree, and it
happened that Murfree was the man
who had run a race with Chalmers
for the hand and heart of Alice
L^igh, and Murfree, with the mon
ey, had won.
Suddenly the outer door of his of
fice swung open and closed. A tall
man, clad in a richly furred over
coat, walked swiftly to his desk and
looked down at him with the pat
ronizing stare of James White Mur
free.
Chalmers motioned toward a chair
and challenged the other’s errand
with frank inquirv in his brown
eyes.
Mnrfree's long, pale face did not
change color under the scrutiny.
His cold gray eyes surveyed the
ypunger man with a speculative in
terest.
"Know why I’m here?” asked
Murfree suddenly.
Chalmers nodded curtly. "Not
hard to conjecture.”
“ No use tackling old Lantry, even
if he had not crumpled up on the
job—heard you were here and they
sent ine around.”
“ Nothing doing,” remarked Chal
mers grimly.
“Ith a matter of a cool million
for you,” suggested Murfree, his
■harp eyes greedily noting the pa

er. “Don’t be a fool. It will make
