Bar'b'ara, his daughter, faints when she hears him tell this to Peter Piper, a..Herald reporter, When 14.rs. Kane, Sheila's maid, is arrested, she -admits • that .

Orme's trial for the murder of Sheila conies up. Ellsworth, in the witness stand, admits he was forced into marriage. • , CHAPTER XXEI:Y.—!'(Cont'd,) • "Silence, gentlemen! Mr. Elle - worth!" The voice of the judge rip- ped across the turmoil.' "The 'last remarks may be stricken from the record.. Mr. Ellsworth,. kindly con- fine yourself to answering the questions'.' "I thought your Iden was to find out the truth." Ellsworth turned fur- iously upon the judge, as if confront- ing a new assailant from as unex- pected quarter. • "So it is," the judge said firmly. "Nevertheless, you must submit your, self to the rulings of the �eourt. The defence may proceed with the next question." 'Yon say that you did nothing for several days after your wife 'distil).- peered. disap- peered. Did it not occur to yon, re- gardless of your personal 'feelings towards 117rs. Ellsworth, that the police should be notified." "It did. But I had already sacri- ficed a great deal in the effort to keep my personal affairs from being Made public. It appears that I was to be unsuccessful. But I would have given anything under heaven to avoid this!" Ellsworth's arms flailed out in a wide gesture, sweep- ing the press rows, the jury, the bailiffs and lawyers in an inclusive circle. "Is it not a feet that you deiiber.' ately took and concealed certain pa- vers belonging to Mrs. E1'tsworth and' having a bearing upon the circum- stances of your •marl'iage?" "I object.

"Calm yourself, Mr. Ellsworth. This ease is not being tried in the napees-officially," the judge said sardrntiee'ly. "If ,ynu desire.to make a statement, you may do so." "Tito napery which I took from Mrs. Ellsworth's safe were the docu- ments in a breach of promise suit' which she threatened to institute prior to atm marriage.

Then Ellsworth's head dropped forward on his arms, flung across the railing before him, "That's alI," lie mumbled, almost in audibly. 'The fierce repression sof years had broken down, loosing the. torrents' in - one 'mighty outburst. Having lost all that he had guarded, he lluitg the remnants of his wreck- ed life to them, with a strange re-. lief in the abandonment: "We -wihl take a recess for ten minutes;' said the judge. The reporters hurled themselves- at the doors. "Great stuff!" "Too late for the 'home.' The morning papers'll get it, durn 'em." ".Never mind, they'll run an extra on this—see if they don't." "New lead—add Ovine trial"—this over the telephone. "Copy boyl—Rush this to the of - Roe, and step cn itt" This from, the Q and A twins in chorus. - Peter.

"I want to tell you something, Don said in a kw tremulous voice. '"Take it easy," Peter forgot hi own fatigue in the lapse from i tense excitement. His . gray eye beamed upon Ellsworth with friondl reassurance and sympathy. "But I want you to know this, Don rushed on, glancing about t make sure they were not overhear "I hoped to marry Barbara Cavan augh- maybe you alrenedy kne that, or guessed it. Well, that's ov- er.

I want- ed to let you nkow that—personally, And to tell you before I go'that I was a fool for blazing out at you when you came to the house." "Ory that's all right. All in the day's work," Peter said inadequat- ely. He felt very -much es if he wanted to cry, bat his gray eyes al- one shone a little more warmly on the man beside hint. "What I i'ea'ly wanted to say. though, was this," Don went on. manifest scorn of his stupidity, The. roll of fat across the back of the district attorney's. neck redden- ed. r T lien'! s c ask you whether wl eth i you ought to; I asked you whether you did. Answer the question Yes or No," he said shaepIy "I already said so." .:..• The district attorney cast an im 'ploring glance at the judge, who was .sedu�'.ously staring put "of the window. "What were the relations between Mr. Orme. and 'Mrs. Ellsworth at the time when you first knew him?" ",rust what they ate now. He was and is Miss O'Shay's husband" "What?" A rustle of astonishment passed over .the court room. The lounging reporters straightened and leaned -forward- as if pulled by invisible wires. • "You 'heard me," Mrss. Kane re- marked caustically. "He left, and Miss '0'Shay let him go.. She never got a divorce from him." "Your honor, 1 object!" Graham leaped to his feet as - if galvanized by an electric shock. "The witness can- not possibly know this of her own knowledge.". 'I certainly do. There's precious little about' Miss O'Shay that I don't knew of my own knowledge." "Objection sustained. You may reframe your question." "Will the reporter please read the question? I' -I teem to be a little confused as to what the witness was answering" The court reporter -bent ever his note.. "The last ,question of the district attorney was, "What?", he announc- ed in matter-of-fact tones, The angular fare of the judge be- came a deep mahogany color. He glared out of the window for a mo• ment. then gave it ub, and seized his " handkerchief. Frnm the bench came a seriee of chocking Sounds, inter- s spersed with snorts. The men itt the n- press news rocked back and forth, s tht'owine decorum to the winds. The y bailiff drnntmed an unheeded tattoo with the stand holding the gavel, „ while with the other he wiped his o eyes, d. • "The other is only between ourselves But I thought you might like t know that as soon as this is over I't going -to Africa to hunt big game. don't know a thing about big gam hunting, but I guess it can be learn ed.

"I thought you might like to have Hutt as a scoop for—The Herald, isn't it?" "Thames," said Peter briefly He dared not trust his voice beyond the single word. . The two hands met in a grip that set both sets of fingers aching. (To be continued.) Industry.

The appearance of Mrs, Kane on the witness stand caused a ripple of uneontr'ollable delight to sweep a- cross the tows of press seats. She stalked tip the narrow aisle. hervoluminous skirts a?most brush- ing the chairs on either side. With the unswerving •directness of an oc- ean liner, she had already stepped to the platform before 'the astonish- ed clerk could cheek . her progress. `Mumble-mutable—mumble noth- ing but -the — truth -- you you God" chanted the clerk. Mrs. Kane fixed hint with sever- ity in her eyes. "That's what I'm here, for," site an- nounced succinctly. The judge blew his nose behind his handkerchief. The bailiff with rigid, contorted eountenane, banged his gavel: The sketch artists seized their pencils with furious haste. "It ain't possible," one of the R and A twins nudged the other, "As the .farmer said when he saw a giraffe, "There's no such animal!' murmured his companion. "Silence in the courtroom,, pl eaagj" admonished the !bailiff, with the hammed 'air of a teacher trying to maintain discipline over a class' of unruly youngsters. 24' s. Kane surveyed the room with a disapproving stare which said as plainly as words, "Wheat have all these people got to do with it, any- h'ew? They'd better go home and mind their own business." "Mrs. .Kane;"' began the district attorney with wary cnurtesy, Do you know the defendant, David. Orate?" "Well, I might to," clicked Mrs. Kane, viewing the questioner with We are not now in the feudal age, but in the 20th eentury, in an age when industry ie quite capable of makiftg sufficient quantities of ev- erything to go round. Yet factor- ies are closed and men who should be enjoying the comforts which they helped to create, are going hungry or living on two meals a day at pub - lie expense, In this modern industrial era, three great factors exist, each of which must function freely or stagnation .exists. These are industry, commerce and finance. Industry and finance are ready and capable, but the financial factor can not be made to function ,properly. When modern finance is controlled, when it becomes servant instead of master, then depressions will disappear and everyone who is willing to give_ a fair day's work for a fair day's pay will be able tin enjoy a fair share of the great and 'fine things that its Edison; and , Fettle and Maraonis have made possible' There will be no need of lowering the standard of living, pernianetly or temporarily.` Industry and commerce eauld' be made much more efficient; than they are, but it is in the field of currency and fiscal policy that the cause of these recurring depressions§ lin.."--.Country Gentleman.
