Nothing left to her In life compared with an occasion after he had been called Into a big murder case, or when the trial was on and he had worked half the night, yet he had come home to her, at last, having "saved his hunger so that she could sup with him.

By this morning, when he was looking over the newspapers brought to his bedroom, all the world as much of It as meant anything to him knew that Agnes had discovered the Lorrie murder because she had been looking at an apartment with Jeb Braddon. Strangely and excitedly, It intensified Ills feelings about her to read of her. and a little about himself with her, and to know that mil lions of people this morning were poring over the same descriptions of her, and the account of wbat she had done and said.

"Not to me," said Agnes, and wondered who, Indeed, would first have stepped into that room and been seized by Myrtle, and who would have summoned, for Myrtle, Martin O'Mara. She could not wish that It was not she. Florida had been the winter playground for her father and mother In their years of happiness; and while Mother held the romantic Illusion that, by returning together, they could recapture what they had had, Father lately had become more of a realist. He knew It would be dancing on the grave of their ecstasy. Agnes lay looking at her mother hut thinking of her father, who, though turning realist toward his remained wife, romantic with whom? Some one younger, much younger, aud perhaps like Myrtle? She couldn't imagine It; hut She pulled the newspaper to her again, and looked at Charles Lorrie. Yon wouldnt think a man like that would marry Myrtle; he looked as If hed have more sense. But sense didn't enter In. One day he'd wanted Myrtle; his dragons of desire had driven him, and hed married her. Who was In New York for Father? Agnes rose to be a witness at the Inquest, and the coroners jury decreed that there was cause to hold Myrtle Stiver Lorrie to the Grand Jury, which took up the case early next week. Jeb was to be witness too, so Agnes and he went together; and they called her In before him. So In she went alone, and stood before the 23 men, and swore to tell the truth and all of it. Mr. Colver had just come out of the room, white and very nervous; and Agnes, trembling as she faced the 23 solemn men, wondered what Mr. Colver Just had told them. Especially, had he told them of Bert? Agnes repeated what she had related before. "Now you have told us all that you saw or heard happen In your presence? the foreman challenged her. "Yes.

Jeb was on the phone Jeb, whom (as all the world had reason to suppose) she soon would marry. Jehs voice was happier this morning; Jeb exulted that everyone who read the papers believed that he and she were to be married.
