"Well?" she asked. "Well," ,said Godfrey, "Victor Cha- rente is the real name of Tremaine. He married that girl many years llefore he met your sister. She was his legal wife. Your sister never was. She was never the legal wife of any one except iii elfard Delroy." Silo understood now, and the glad tears burst forth unrestrained. In- deed, she made no effort to restrain them, but only rocked back and forth, pressing the message against her heart. "Thank God!" she sobbed. "Thank • 'God!" And then she started up from her chair. "I must tell her," she said, "at once. If you knew how she has suffered! She must not be left in that cruel position an instant longer." "Very well," agreed Godfrey. "We �vlll wait for you here." She disappeared through a door at -the farther end of the room, but in a moment came softly back again. "She is asleep," she said. "I will wait until she wakes. What a joyful awaking it will be!" And she shit ,down again. She wiped away the tears, but her eyes were still shining. Godfrey gazed at her with a face full of emotion. "Now, Miss Croydon," he began, "you've told me that my theory's cor- rect, but there are three or four points I should like you to help me clear up, if you will." "I shall be glad to if I can," she answered, and smiled at him, her eyes brimming again. "You've lifted such a load from me, Mr. Godfrey, that I'd 'do almost anything to show my grati- tude." . Why, looking .at. her, did his Pace Baby's Skin i Trouble n ITCHING ECZEMA For the skin troubles of babyhood Dr. Chases Ointment acts as a magic cure. It is wonderful how promptly it allays the irri- tation and stops the suffering of little ones who are tortured by terrible itching, stinging eczema. Mothers often find themselves helpless before this annoying ailment which torments so many young children, but we have yet to hear of a single case in which relief was not obtained by • use of Dr. A. W. Chase's Ointment This soothing, healing preparation fs also unrivalled as a cure for chafing and all skin irritations.

"Mr. Godfrey, I will tell you something of which I had de- termined never to speak. When he left the house that evening he deliberately broke an appointment he had made with me—an appointment he had pray- ed for. He had happened to hear Mr. Tremaine make certain proposals to lite. In short" -she hesitated and then proceeded steadily with raised head - "I may as well tell the whole truth. Since the evening of that first tragedy Mr, Tremaine has been persecuting me with his attentions. At the time I thought them merely insulting; I see now that he may have been in ear- nest." ar- nest" "I don't in the least doubt that he was in earnest," agreed Godfrey. "Mr. Drysdale, then, overheard him ask you to be his wife?" "Yes; just that." "But he also heard you refuse, no doubt?" "Oh, yes," she said, smiling and col- oring a little, "he heard me refuse in the most'positive way, lout my refusal provoked Mr. Tremaine to an intem- perance of language which Mr. Drys- dale resented and which he thought I should have resented too. He demand- ed that I explain to him Mr. Tremaine's position, and I promised to do so on the very evening he -he stayed away from the house. Itis staying away offended me deeply." Godfrey had listened with intent eyes and a quick nod from, time to time. "There is only one point lacking," he said. "Did Tremaiiie know of your intention to tell Drysdale the story?" "Yes; he even charged me with that intention." "Ah, he had listened at a keyhole probably." "He said that Mr. Drysdale himself had told 'him. I might add, Mr. God- frey, that I met Mr. Drysdale and the officers in the hall that morning • as they were going away, and I Implored him to tell them where he had been. He answered me with suck insult and contempt that I thought he must be mad." "And no wonder! You were playing at cross purposes. I presume, then, that it was not you who wrote Mr. Drysdale. this note?" and he handed her the crumpled sheet of paper he had fished from Drysdalets wastebasket. She took it with trembling hand; already beginning to suspect, perhaps, :what It contained. " `Be at the pergola at 0," she read. "'If -I am late, wait for me. G. I certainly never wrote any such note as that, Mr. Godfrey. Where did it come from!" "Is It in your halldwt'Itlllg"? "Why,' yes," she answered, looking at it more closely. "That is, it is some- thing like. Ohl I begin to see!" she cried, and I saw her seized with a sud- den convulsive shuddering. "Yes," said Godfrey, "it was a pretty plot.

When he returned to the house he found that you had spent the even- ing with Tremaine. Afterward, lu his room, he did a number of violent and foolish things. Finally he determined to go away.

"Oh, I must see him!" she cried, "Something must be done" - "Something shall be done," Godfrey assured her, rising. "The real culprit shall be In custody tonight." "The real culprit?" The words ar- rested her attention. "'Who but Tremaine?" "Tremaine? But he was in the house. As you know, I talked with him for a long time." "That is all, 'Mink," said Godfrey. "One thing more, Mr. Godfrey," she said. "Do you think we'd better tell Mr. Delroy the story?" "Yes," answered Godfrey decidedly. "Tell him the whole story. That's al- , ways the best way and the safest. Re- member, your lack of frankness leas already cost one human life. Your. sister has incurred no guilt. She has committed no fault. Her husband will have nothing to forgive." "And the public?" the public? „What has the public to do with It?" "Bid I thought ---you see -you" - "Oh, you thought I would write It vp in the Record?

"Pardon ine," she said quickly, bola - Ing out her hand. "I see I have offend- ed you, You must forgive me," "Oh, I do," he said, taking her hand and -sinning into her eyes -allowing himself a moment's reward. "Even a yellow journalist, Miss Croydon, has his reticences, :that's bard to believe, isn't it?" "Not when one knows them," she answered, and opened the door for us. Thomas was waiting in the hall, "Anything else, sir?" be asked. "No," said Godfrey,•% "We've fiuished here. Now let us have our trap," We stopped a moment in the library to say goodby to Delroy. IIe came forward eagerly to Meet us. "Well?" he asked._ "Can you clear Jack?" "Yes," said Godfrey, "we can. What's more, We will." "Thank God!" and Delroy passed his hand across his forehead. "This whole thlag has been a sort of terrible night- mare to me, Mr. Godfrey. I'm hoping that 1 may even yet wake up and find that It was all only a dream." Godfrey smiled a little bitterly. "I'm afraid you won't de that, Mr. Delroy," be said, "but. at least, 1 be- Ilcic you'll find that in the end it will .,weep a great unhappiness out of your Xe.

I think we have some news that will cheer him up." "It seemed to me," I observed, "that it was not at all about his arrest that he was worrying." "It wasn't," agreed Godfrey. "That's what I meant." The lights of Babylon gleamed out ahead, and a few minutes later we drew up before the hotel. As we en- tered the office I saw the proprietor cast a quick glance at a little fat man, C.,"t t .

"I am Coroner IIetfelbower," he said, with an evident appreciation of his Own importance. I believe you are to l b ey gentlemen who represent Mr. Drys- dale?" "Mr. Lester here, of Graham & Royce, will represent Mr. Drysdale," explained Godfrey. "I am merely one of his friends." "The inquest, I believe, Is set for to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock?" I asked. "Yes, sir; tough we shall hardly get to t'e evidence before afternoon. Te morning will be spent in looking ofer t'e scene of t'e crime." "I understand," said Godfrey with studied artlessness,• "that you have found the missing necklace." The coroner flushed a little. Evi- dentiy this was a sore subject. '"No, sir," he answered; "we haven't found it. I haf about come to t'e con- clusion t'at Drysdale t'rew it into t'e pay.,, "But," I objected, "he'd hardly have committed a murder in order to gain possession of it only to throw it as'vay."
