Intense, compelling which for the Instant seemed to even overshadow tho fnto of the girl he loved. There were, three men present, pres-ent, nnd the woman. She stood clutching clutch-ing tho back of 11 chair, white-faced nnd open-eyed, with Falrbaln slightly behind her. one hand grasping her arm. the other clinched, his Jaw set pugnaciously. Facing thtsn two was Walte. nnd a heavily built mnn wear Ing a brown beard, closely trimmed. "You'd better ncknowiedgo It," Walte snapped out. with a quick glance nt the newcomer. "It will make It all the easier for you. I tell you this Is the sheriff, and we've got you both dend to rights." ' "Hut," sho urged, "why should 1 be ' ireBted?

Tho sheriff laid his hand on Walto's shoulder. "Come," ho said, firmly, "this Is no way to get at It. We want to know certata facts, and then we can proceed pro-ceed 'awfully. Let me question the woman " i The vwo older men still faced one another belligerently, but Keith bnw I Christie ilraw the doctor back from I between Iwr and the sheriff. I "You nittv ask me anything you ' please," she announced, quietly. "I aj sure these centlemen will not fight In my room." "Vory wel, M.'ts Maclalre. It will 1 require only a moment. How long have you known thik man Hawiey?" "Merely a few days- -since I arrived I In Sheridan." I "Hut you were In communication I with him before that,?" ! The pleasant voice and quiet do--meanor of the sheriff seemed to yield the girl confidence nnd courage. I "Yes, he had written me two or . three letters." I "You met him heio then by appoint- ment?" "He wan to come to Sheridan, and exp ain to me more fully what his letters let-ters had only hinted at." "You possessed no previous knowledge knowl-edge of his purpose?" "Only the barest outline details were given me later." "Will you tell us briefly exactly what Hawiey told you?" The girl's bewildered eyes wandered from face to face, then returned to the waiting sheriff. "May may I sit down?" she asked. "Most certainly; and don't be afraid, for really we wish to he your friends." She sank down Into the chair, and 1 even Kolth could seo how her slender form trembled There wns a moment's mo-ment's silence. "Relieve me, gentlemen," she begnn, fnlterlngly, "If there Is any frnud, any conspiracy, 1 have borno no conscious part In It. Mr. Hawioy came to me I saying a dying man had left with him 1 certain papers, nnmlng one, Phyllis , Galo, as heiress to a very largo estate In North Carolina, left by hor grandfather grand-father in truBt, He said the girl had been taken West, when scarcely two years old. by her father In a tit of drunken rage, and then deserted by him In St. Louis." "You you saw tho papers?" Wntle j broke In. "Yes, those that Hawioy had; he I gave them to mo to koep for him." Sho ciossed to her trunk, and came back, a manllla onvtrtopo in her hand. Walte opened It hastily, running his eyes over the contents. "Tho Infernnl scoundrel!" he ex- 1 claimed, hotly. "These were stolen from me ut Carson City." "Let me bco them." Tho shorlff I ran them over, merely glnnclng at the 'endorsements. "Just as you represented, Walto," he said, slowly. "A copy of the will, your commission as guardian, and. memoranda of Identification. Well, Miss Maclalre, how did you happen to be so easily convinced that you were the lost girl?"
