on the Imminent hour of ultliu .io

most gulling recrimination educed no
retort from this on.
In a lull In Trtne'a tirade, Judith
chose to interject: "Don't ha so hard
on the sill) fool she's not responsible;
she's sick with love for that food lotk
lug simpleton!"
"And you'" Kosa turned on her
passionately -"what about youT If
love Alan Law, at least I love him
openly. I am not ashamed to own It
and I don't pursue him, as you do, pre.

him every time 1 meet him, to lead
him to belle, i l haven't the heart to
Injure him as you do, hoping so to
work upon his sympathies and earn
a Mndly word and a pat on the bead
from his hand'"
Fiercely she leveled a denunciatory
arm at her lister, "Thar!" she cried
to her father- "If you need to know -there
stands the daughter who haa
betrayed yout faith as I have not,
who have nev r even pretended to
approve your villainy!"
"I think," Trine announced In a
voice of Ice "I have learned now
what I needed to know."
Ills fingers sought the row of but
tons; and when a servant responded,
he Inquired
"Mr Marrophut haa returned?"
"lie la In the w.iltlng room, sir."
"Conduct Mist, Judith to blm snd

And for a Ion time thereafter the

had been estrungtd from him since

That view, however, did not tempt;
he kept Ills eyes level; ami was re.

half-drawn curtains.
And of sudden whether through

Again a horrible iinccrlulnty liar
asted htm. Was the woman Hosii
or Judith? That she was one of these
he could plainly see Hut which'' Dared
he assume hit hopes fullllled?
With difficulty he detached lilt
hungry vision from her. and drawing
I from his iMicket a small notebook, turn
out a blank page, placed this ii.it on
tha girder, found a pencil, and with
the assistance of u ray or two of
moonlight scrawled a t isagn of al
molt stenographic brevity
When he looked up from this task,
she had vanished
Hitting up, sstilil" Ihe girder, he
took his watch a cheap affair In- had
picked up when roclnlhliiK himself In

Providence, that morning opened the

Abruptly ha pitched forward on hla,

and disappeared. And before Alan,
could release hla hold, or ease tha
strain upon the right arm of tha aa
sassln, thlt last had illpped bodrly
from tha girder and bung helplett In

arm with no mora than tha grip of
five fingers between him and death.
Tha abock of that unpreaaged turn
brought Alan forward and flat on bis

arm was terrific. He doubted If ba
could maintain It for another minute.
Nor was there any reason why ba
should retain It Tha and ha had de

And yet Alan could not lat him go.
Thus tha battle began anaw but
now It waa a battle with a man half
erased and struggling to madly that
he well-nigh frustrated tha efforts of
his rescuer.
In tin. upshot tha attastln lay Ilka a
limp rag across tha girder, head and
arms dangling on ons slds, laga aad
feet on the other, apent with his tar-
lib' exertions snd physically sick with
terror.
And In this state Alan laft him: ha

. . . Then . . ."
A bitter smile twisted his tortured
features: "Then shall my will be done
to him! And then, when I have seen
him die as bla father died then Ah,
God! then at last I too may die!
There was a long silence, then a
groan of exasperated protest Why
do they not come? Why does Judith
delay, when she knows how I suffer?
Why bave I been put off from duy to
day with ber telegrams that begged
for more time and promised every
thingbut told nothing' until -yesterday.
. . . Where are those met
aagea the tent mo yesterday?"
Hit one sound hand groped out like
a claw and sought a mass of papers
on the desk beside him, sorting out
from among tin in two yellow forms.
Painfully ho blinked over these and
lowly his pain bent lips conned their
wording;
"'Alan and Rose safe with me will
bring both home tomorrow night with
out fall.' " he read the first aloud; and
then the tecend: "'Have motorcar

No!' he affirmed with the fervor
of one persuaded by his own dealrei:
"I must not doubt the girl ' lha hut
promised, she but performed.
So still wai he. Indeed that he
teemed to sleep, but so deceptive waa
that semblance that he was alert for
the least sound. The girl entered soft
ly, as If fearful of disturbing his slum
bers; but sin- found him with head
erect and eyes a blaze.
"Judith!" be cried, his gnat voice
vibrating like a brazen hall At last!
Where la he? You have brought him?
Where it he?"
With no more answer than a sigh,
the girl drooped her head and let her
hands hang limply with palms exposed.
After an instant of Incredulous dis
appointment the man shot a single,
frigid question at her:
"You have failed?"
"J have failed," ibn confessed.
"Why?"
Hhe shrugged slightly. "Who knows
why one fulls? I did my has) bt was
too much for me, outwitted mo at
every turn. Time and again 1 thought
1 bad him, but always he escaped,
either by bis own wit and couruge or
with another's aid. Only yesterday

low of my bands but now I brlugou
only Rose."
Hhe fullered, awed by Ihe glare of
his Infuriated eyes ' I. el pag explain,"
he begged.
He. snapped her shert: "You cannot
oyplaln. The thing Is Impossible; that
you should have fulled. There Is some
thing beneath tbls, something you
will not tell me."
Hhe endeavored to apeak, but he en
forced silence with a sonorous "No!"
Hit band sought the row of buttons
on the desk and pressed one long.
Almost instantly a servant gilded
noiselessly Into the room.
"My daughter Rose have her

.In another moment the replies of
tils daughter Judith was ushered Into
felt nretenas.

Changeling.
In the vague, chill gray of that dull

ruptly on the couch of a sleepless
night, snd with tba rapidity of one
who has arrlvsd at a asttlsd purpose

behind her.
Without auy surprise the found bar
sister already dressed to tbe point of
donning ber outer garments.
Rendered half frantic by thlt unex
pected Interruption, threatening sa It
did the perilous scheme that Alan bad
proposed, Koie greeted ber litter with
a counteiisiice at once aghast and
wrslhful
"What do you want?" sbs demsndsd
tensely.
"To corns to an understanding with
you," Judith told her coolly.
"There Is no understanding possible
between us: you know thataa wsll aa

"Yet one there muet be."
"I Insist that you leave this room at
once!"
"Insist by sll mssns and bs
damned! I may Isava thla room aad

With a start Of terror, Rosa shrank
back from Ibis strange, wild thing
that wore the very thane and earn

"What do you mean? You cannot

Judith?"
"Not II" Judith laughed harshly.
"Hut, tines It has plssssd Destiny to

"Judith!"
"One moment!" Crootlng to a aide

and returned with It to tbe table that
occupied the middle of the floor. At tha

blue bottle with a red label tbrlektng
the warning "I'OiaONI"
"Strychnine," tba explained com
pmedly, "In loluiion." And emptied
the bottle Into the glaaa.
A measure ot courage returned to

"Perhapi. Are you ready?" And
Judith made at If to deal.
"No navarl I tell you I refute I"
Rota chattered, terrified.
"You dare not refute."
"Why?"
"Becaute of thlt."
Whipping a tmall revolver from an
other pocket ot ber dretilng-gown, Ju

"Never mind. It It u bargain, now,

head.
"Deal," the muttered fearfully, "and
may Uod Judge between us!"
One by one she stripped the rurds
from the top of the deck, dealing first
to Rose, then to herself.
Ona by one they fluttered to the
table on either side the glass or poison,
and fell face uppermost.
The trey of board fell to Judith.
There was sn Instant of silent dread.

"Too latet" ssld Judith, lifting the

"Judith! you csnnot meun Io drink

"Can't I, though?" the other laughed
mirthlessly. "Jutt witch me!"
With a strangled cry Rote covered

On the topmost tier ot glrdert of the
