"You came downstairs at once?"
"Almost immediately."
"Is it true, as stated, that your
brother's body was cold when you
touched it?"
"Yes. i remember the shock of
touching it."
"Has the coachman a key to this
house?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"Were the doors and windows all
locked that morning?" .
"I made sure of that myself."
"Did you hear any noise during the
night?" '
"Nut a sound."
"Are you a heavy sleeper?"
"Very—and the walls and doors
are thick."
"Mr. Pardoe, did your, brother have
any enemies?"
"Not a one," he replied, "that I can

out"
With that I slipped into the hall,
closing the parlor door behind me.
One .glance showed me that I was
alone. The next almost convinced me
that the coast was clear upstairs. In
three bounds I had mounted to the
first landing and, before a minute
had passed, I had located the room
which, from the published descrip-
tions, I was sure must be the house-
keeper's.
I did not knock; I just pushed open
the door and entered.
A woman was kneeling beside the
bed, crying, her face buried in the
bed clothes.
She leaped to her feet with a little
cry.
It was then my turn to be sur-
prised.
"Jane Haughton!" I whispered.
I had known her ten years before,
and ten years had only softened with-
out disguising her face.
In two words her tragedy had been
this: She had been a poor girl sent
to a rich boarding school. Her school-
mates had been able to enjoy many
things which she had been forced to
do without. Then, in a moment of
weakness, she had stolen a paltry sum
from one of thein, had been detected
and dismissed. Her family had dis-
owned her, and I—then a bo$= at a
nearby school—had heard only that
she had been truly repentant, had
gone to the.school chaplain and had
been found by him a place in the em-
ployment of some well-to-do family
in New Jersey, where she was living
under an assumed name, but leading
an honest life.
And now here she was, still beauti-
ful•and about to be arrested for the
murder of Emerson Pardoe! -
She recognized me at once. And at
once her first thought was self-
preservation.
"You—you won't tell!" she cried.
For a reply I gripped her firmly by
the wrists and dragged her to the
light.
"Jane," said I, fixing my eyes stead-
ily upon .her splendid brown ones," as
you. hope for salvation, tell me the
truth: Did you do this thing?"
"No, no, no!" • she cried. "Why, I
didn't mean that. I—I didn't even
know anybody suspected- Oh, how
can you? Do you mean to say that
anybody, that they: could'
"Yes," I said hoarsely, "I am afraid
some of them do." '
"Then I'm ruined! Utterly . ruined!
Who will believe me when they know
my story?"
But again I fixed my eyes on. hers.
"Jane," said I, "answer- my, ques-
tion. Tell me the truth as you hope
for pardon for your former, sin. ; Did
you kill Emerson Pardoe?"
She raised her one hand—jerked
-free from my grasp -high above her•
head.
"I swear to- you before God," she
said, "that. I even would have given
my life to save him." •
"Then," I answered, convinced, "no
body need ever know you are Jane
Haughton."

The little cares that fretted me,
I lost then! yesterday,
Among the fields above the sea,
Amongthe winds at play;
Among the longing herds,
The rusting of the trees,
Among the singing birds,
The humming of the bees.
The fears of what may come to pass,
I cast thein all away,
Among the clover -scented grass,
Among the new -mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where i11 thoughts die and good are
born
Out in the fields with God.
