'Looks good, yes, but you've got to have something that does more than 'look good,' old man. You've got to have a kngckout piece of evidence. Brady's going to go on the Stand and perjure himself; see if he doesn't." "He'd petjure somebody else if he could invent the crime," agreed Temple bitterly. • A bitter mood, however, could never endure long with Burton Temple. 'The boy in bimwould never be downed. He crossed to his pipe rack, extracted his favorite meerschaum and was oon leaning back luxuriously in his $hair while Craven scratched away with his goose quill. "You know, Craven," he said, "there's no use crossing a bridge till you come to it, and, somehow, I think my luck's beginning to turn. I've an odd idea that my new secretary is responsible.

"Oh, no,ethank fortune, there are po pressing lettere b dictate this afternoon; we can put them off till tomoreow." "No?" said Anna quizzically.

"I had no early training, At home I used to mend the house linen and tie down the jellies." She caught her ander coral lip with bewitching sedateness.

'I dare say," smiled she apologeti- cally, "those enchanted castles of ours were rather vague things wrapped in a good deal of roseate haze and of an architecture that could scarcely have been reduced to ground plans and ele- vations. This is a very practical age, you know, Mr. Temple." "I know," said he, watching her with grave eyes. "Still, I'd like to hear a little about—about the prince of your enchanted palace. We hadn't got to that, you see. What must your ideal man be like, Miss Dale? Do sit dbwn!" "My ideal man!' echoed Anna, with never so faint a touch of surprise. Then, yielding to a mood of reckless.

Templecrossed with the tetter over to his big safe, thele paused, "Hang my memory!" he said. "If I haven't forgotten the combination, as usual! Call Miss Dale." When Anna Granger entered, .calsgl, businesslike as ever, neither of the men got a hint of the way in which her nerves were tingling nor of the volcano of emotion raging back of those genet gray eyes. "Awfully sorry to disturb you again, Alias Dale, but, you see, once more that pesky combination's .,lean escaped me. We must lock up this letter; it's of vi- tal import" She bowed, not trusting herself to speak, and, walking over quietly, un- locked the safe. Temple put the let- ter in and locked the safe himself. "We win, Miss Dale, we win!" he cried like a joyously excited boy. Then his voice became tender and grave. "I want to talk to you a little later," he said. "Will you mind wait- ing for me here? Come, Craven, Ester - brook's man is outside and we have to sign some papers to send down by him." When the door had closed behind the men Anna stood for a second stock still, the pupils of her eyes blackening strangely. Of vital importance! Tem- ple's words rang in her ears. It prob- ably meant her husband's freedom, her children's inheritance. Should she? Could she? Wasn't this just what she had come for? "I'll get it for you. Robert,'' she said. Throwing• back her slender shoul- ders, as a strong swimmer to breast the waves, she dropped on her knees be• side the safe and rapidly worked the combination. She drew out the let- ter, Still kneeling, she raised it so that the light from the window fell across it. At &rst Robert's well known chirog- raphy danced so that she could not read his words, but all too soon the dancing steadied itself, and the words stared out in deadly lines of damning guilt. Twice, thrice she read it, drawing her fingers sharply across ber eyes as if to ward o3' the lightning. Then a gasping cry rent its way out from her eery heart. It was all so plain now! Her bus- band was not only a liar, but a thief. "��//ee �Kes "I'LL SAVE YOU„BOYS—GAVE TOE it SPITE OF YOUR FATHaB, IN SPITE OF MYSELF I” Ancl her children. her little innocent children, would be branded through life as the children of a thief --oh, God! Cato yawned. She looked toward the f.!•r "!ace and started. An impulse came to her, a fierce, swift impulse such as red Indians have. The ti- gress was awake in her—the tigress fighting for ber offspring... And like a very tigress, too; •agile, swift as an arrow; she glided to where the little dames beckoned and held the letter close down to them. The paper writhed and curled as the fire caught it adroitly. "I'llsave you, boys—save you in spite of your father, in spite of my- self," she breathed, the breath coming hard through her open, dry lips. It bad a will of its own, this paper, and fought the Inimical flames brave- ly as they encroached upon its terri- tory. The woman, her fingers scorch- ed brown, held it until it fell away in charred, glossy scraps, watching it with a sort of charmed, awful inter- est With an effort she raised herself to her feet The gaping doors of the opened safe stared at her. Mechani- cally she crossed over, closet!, them and locked the combination. Then, inevitably, her eyes sought the fireplace. The mocking, dancing flame slung her like so many scor- pion tongues. Was It wild fancy or was Cato really watching her with that dumb, awful reproach in his eyes' God in heaven! What had she done? If she had destroyed the proof ofallob• ert's guilt she had also destroyed the proof of Burton Temple's innocence! Of that she had not • thought; she had not had time to think.

Then as siii perceived Mrs. Mason clearly, as he reason came back and her gaze stead led, the impulse died, "That was a dowdy sort of thing f$ do," said she apologetically, with faint smile.
