One early morning in midwinter, Policeman X noticed a confused heap In. the front yard of an old Colonial home. The half light revealed a reddish tinge on the snow, neve-- fallen upon it. With a few rapid movements he disclosed the body of a. young man of refined appearance and in evening dress. Ail aroand the white surface was unbroken, showing that death had occurred be- fore the etorin. The officer's practised eye also taught a momentary Incident. The window curtains of the second -story corner room of the house were cau- tiously pushed aside. A woman's white Mee peered out and then van- ished; the drapery tearing down from the clutch of her hand. Like the report a,fter a flash, came a ecream, incredulous, despairing. An instant later the door of the house opened, and a man in middle - life came out Neatly, half-dressed. As he stood over the body, the police- man asked, respectfully: "Do you know who it is, sir?" "It's Dr. Winfield Serven who livei next door," replied the man, with eyes staring far away. "My God, my God, it wasn't a dreamt after all !" ern trouble you for your name, sir, and then to help me with the body," said the policeman, with a shade more of authority in his tones. The man's bitten lips quivered as he spoke. "My name is Francis Ney," he fal- tered. "And I live here. ar course, of course Pli help you ;" and he bent readier enough to the task. Bat when, with the lifting, there came a gage or blood from the left brea.et- of the corpse, Ney's self-con- trol entirely deserted him. He loosed Itis hold, and, with a wiln gesture, darted down the street. As Policeman X looked donbtfully this way and ehat, hie hand on his hip -pocket, a pleasant voice gave him reassurance. "He has probably gone for a phy- sician, ofricer," it said. "Such a sight, remember, drives out good eou must say more. Tell me, then, judgment." - how do you keow ?"

After that, let the law take care of tts own." Mr. Eleanor Dawes sat alone in the pretty reception room of her rich and tasteful horae, looking intently out of the window.

There seemed nothing -in the prospeot, now FQ Inviting, and at all -Limes familiar, to account for such absorption, un- less it was the tweaslosial flasix of white, wan face, as a woman paused in lice' restless parsing of the second, - story corner room oppsite. Suddenly lira Dawes sprang from her chair, and also began to pace the floor, not draggingly, nee the other, bet with the passionate force of some w iki creature in restraint. "I cant stand it," she murmured, "and I won't I never reckoned on molt dreadful consequences; the woe, the despair, the punishment of the in- nocent I am rich, my own mistress, the world is wide. "My wits are keen, my nerves like steel; disguised under another name I can snap my fingers in the face of the stupid authorities and live my life once more.

Mrs. Dawes studied the missive, addressed In an unknown hand and bearing no mark '01 identification, something of the shadows without, despite her fortitude, settled on her spirit. For a moment she held it from her, clinging instinotively to uncer- tainty. Then, compressing her lips, she tore open( tbe envelope, drew out the stiff, legal -looking paper, and this Is what she read: i .
