Murgatroyd bowed and, placing a
chair (or Mrs. Gballoner, begged ber
to be seated.
"Mrs. Gballoner," be began tn a
vol^e that was even more gentle tban
at any time before, "believe me that
I've no desire to give you trouble un-
necessarily."
"Please don't apologize," Mrs. Chal-
loner repeated, holding fast to Shirley,
as though she pinned ber faith to that
young woman.
"I shall begin at the beginning, Mrs.
Challoner," he said. "I suppose, of
course, that you have bad the report
that your husband has been found in
Chicago?"
"What! Found! Laurie has been
found!" she went on. "Thank heaven!
I'm so glad! Now he must come back
home."
"I had thought." said the prosecutor

been an unpleasant shock to you. I
find that the shock is yet to come."
"You don't mean—you can't mean
that"-
Murgatroyd bowed.
"I have already told Miss Bloodgood
that the report was a mistake. Your
husband was not arrested in Chicago."
At that Mrs. Challoner really broke
down. She sobbed silently on the
shoulder of the girl beside ber. "Oh.
Laurie, Laurie! Then you're not com-
ing homer' she cried. "Most three
weeks, Shirley, he's been away!"
Murgatroyd waited patiently until
she had recovered, never once forget-
ting that be was the servant of tbe
people.
"Mrs. Challoner," be said wltb aim-
pie directness, "tbe whole substance of
the matter is this: 1 believe—we be
lieve that Mr. Challoner has not left
the east and that be may still be her<
In town—in this house even."
"In this house!" Miriam returned
wltb a faint smile. "I wish be were
Indeed. I do wish he were."
"Mrs. Challoner." the prooecutoi
went on, "It Is necessary that my met.
should search this house."
Shirley Bloodgood flushed lndig
nantly.
"This is an Imposition. It Is prepos
terous, Mr. Murgatroyd. that you
should doubt her word!"
Murgatroyd was unmoved.
"It Is necessary for my men to search
two men. Mlxley and McGrath.
The men passed In unceremoniously
and proceeded to search tbe room,
places that even Miriam had forgotten
about They overlooked nothing, but
silently, quietly In their businesslike
way turned everything topsy turvy, re-
placing things In tbe end as tbey
found them. Presently they turned to
their chief and said:
"It's all right, prosecutor."
"Cover the rest of tbe house," again
ordered Murgatroyd.
They urlnned sheepishly.
'That's all done," they answered
"What?"
McGrath nodded.
"Yes While you were talking in
here." he said, "we showed our shields,
and ihey showed us through." He
drew near and whispered: "We
thought It best to take 'em by surprise.
They hadn't no time to fix things, don't
you see?"
"Nothing found?" ssked Murgatroyd.
Simultaneously they shook their
heads and answered:
"Nothing."
Murgatroyd waved his hsnd and
commanded them to wait for him at
the door.
Turning to Mrs. Challoner, he said:
"If yon know where Mr. Challoner
is 1 want you to use your influence
with him to make him come back. His
flight amounts to a moral confeaalon of
crime. He has nothing to p1" you
see." he went on to explain, "by stay-
ing away. He is bound to be caught
He cannot escape."
"I want bim to come back," stam-
mered Mrs Challoner. "Yea, yea. he
must come back and fece this charge!
You-you don't think him guilty, Mr.
Murgatroyd?"
Murgatroyd walked toward tbe door.
If be had spoken his mind be would
have answered in the affirmative, but
instead he compromised wltb:
"I don't know," and abruptly left the
bouse
A look of astonishment crossed Shir-
lay's face.
"You wouldn't give him any mon-
ey? And be didn't have any when he
went away?"
Miriam wept After a moment ahe
answered:
"No. My poor Lsurle! Think of
blm starving, freezing, perbape dy-
ing!"
Shirley Bloodgood drew a long
breath.
"And Colonel Hargraves waa rob-
bed," she murmured to herself.
'1 don't think you understand." Mi-
riam went on. breaking In upon ber
thoughts. "Of course I don't believe
that Laurie Is guilty of the things they
charge him wltb. But be must come
back and stsnd trial and be acquitted
—and 1 must stand by his side through
It all." She broke down completely.
"What's that?" Inquired Mrs. Gbal-
loner, starting up nervously, In alarm.
"It's that horrible bell ringing again,1
sbe went on breathlessly.
Shirley stole to the door and listen-
ed. Suddenly the door waa pushed
wisely, for he weir knew that there Is
something that brings men—good, bad
and Indifferent men—back to their
homes
Murgatroyd left the room and re- sudden!*

this house." he repeated and not un | Rood's lips
"Why. 1 thought you liked Mr. Mur-
gatroyd. Shirley?"
"You have things badly twisted,
Miriam -Ae likes me." And, suddenly
rising to ber feet, she clapped tier
hands impulsively. "Oh. Miriam. I've
good news for you!"
"Good news'; What good news?"
Miriam asked incredulously.
"Prosecutor Murgatroyd." she began,
'told me In couOdence"—
"In confidence!" Miriam repeated.
"Then you hud better not"—
Shirley shook her head belligerently.
"Oh. no!" she laughed. "it's all
right Billy Murgatroyd likes to tell
thiugs to me. He told uie once that
he believed that to be one of the con-
trolling motives tbut led to matrimony
-that n iniin should bave somebody
to tell tilings to "
"But"- again protested Miriam.
Once more Shirley silenced ber.
"No. I shall tell you This may be a
matter of life and death. Besides, you
are entitled to know the truth"
"Ye*, yes." sssented Miriam: "tell
me I must know."
"Murgatroyd loid me. Mlrlaui, the
greatest imk and bull story you ever
heard " Miriam li>oked us If her brain
would snap. "It seems that ihe papers
have distorted, exaggerated every-
thing The faet Is. Miriam, dear, the
case Is the MimMeat"—
Miriam drew a d t p breath.
Then Shirley went on to tell that
nobody had seen Hargraves killed, no-
body hnd seen the shot flred: that they
had only got some disreputable gam-
bler or other who claimed to have wit-
nessed a <| nrrel between them.
"And. oh. yes." she added a moment
later, "the man that killed Hargraves
robbed him of $10,000. and. of course,
lawrence Challoner wouldn't rob a
man, much less kill one. *o. don't you
see, there's nothing In the story at all."
"I don't know." answered Miriam
slowly, "whether he would or not."
"What!" gsaped the girl
"Don't misunderstand me." pleaded
the woman. "There are two Lawrence
Challonera One Is the man I love-
that loves me: the other Is the Law

done, I want him back." Sbe sobbed
for ao instant. "Yon didn't know,
Shirley, that wo had a quarrel. I
treated him badly, shamefully. Be
haan't come back since."
"You quarreled-you, Miriam!"
"About money," admitted tbe con-
science stricken womsn-"tnoney. He
wanted me to give him some. Men
have got to have money," sbe went on,
repeating his words, "and I wouldn't
five him any. It waa brutal Id me. I

Hon. He drew a long Intake of breath,
then he spoke the name:
"Mr. Challoner!"
And hardly were the words out of
his mouth than be was thrust aside,
and there stood in his place a spare,
gaunt, tottering figure—a man dishev-
eled. soiled, exhausted—James Law-
rence Challoner had come home!
The young wife's face turned pale,
and for a moment words failed her.
Then all of a sudden sbe sprang to her
feet, crying In an ecstasy of Joy:
"Laurie. Laurie! You've come bome
to me at last!" And throwing ber
arms around bis neck, sbe kissed him
many times, laughing hysterlcslly and
crying tbe while, "You've come back
to me!"
But Challoner cast her off with a
frantic sweep of the arm.
"Keep away!" he cried. "I'm dog
tired! I've got to sleep, sleep!"
Shirley was keenly alive to what his
presence there might mean.
"Stevens," sbe called, pointing to a
window, "pull that curtain down. 1
Pulled it up after (key went; pull It
down."
Challoner now turned upon her.
"Leave the curtain alone, I tell you,"
be said. "I don't care If It la up. I
don't care about you either, nor you,"
looking at his wife. "1 don't know
you. 1 must have aleep, sleep, sleep."
Deep down in her soul Shirley knew
that ahe should not hear all thla, and
she would have fled if she had not
promised Miriam not to leave her.
Miriam now went over to the girl.
"You're not going to leave met" ahe
exclaimed, clinging to her. "You and
Laurie are the only friends I have.
You must stay here with Laurie and
me."
Shirley patted her affectionately.
"There, there, Miriam, dear, of
course 1 shall stay." Miriam, rsassur-
ed. darted back to ber husband and
cried:
"Laurie, dear." kissing bim and push
ing the hair back from bis forehead,
"so tired, so tired."
But Cbslloner, s wolf now and not a
man, jerked away from ber and an-
swered:
"I came home, didn't I? Well. then.
I must bave sleep, sleep; I tell you,
sleep." And, tottering over to a dainty
silken covered sofa, he threw himself
upon it, with a deep sigh.
Miriam went down on her knees and
drew him to her In a close embrace.
"Everything's all right now that
you've come back." she told him In
soothing tones. "And. dear, you'll for-
give me for quarreling with you. I'm
so sorry; yes. 1 am. Laurie.'' kissing
blm on the lips, the face, the forehead.
"Say you'll forgive me. Laurie, dear?"
His answer was a snore.
"Miriam," whispered Shirley, "we
must not forget that Murgatroyd and
his men bave only just left. We must
not let him lie here. It was lucky tbey
searched the bouse when they did."
"No." objected Miriam. "He must
sleep."
"No, no. Miriam." persisted Shirley,
putting great emphasis on tbe words.
"We ought to tell him what kind of
evidence Is against him. If we didn't
warn him In time he'd never forgive
us."
"Perhaps you're right. Shirley. You
seem to be always right. Yes. I sup-
pose he ought to know." Gently Mir-
iam shook him. rocked him to and fro
upon the sofs as some mother might
wake a drowsy, growing boy on a lazy
summer morn.
"Lawrence." she cried softly In bis
ear. "wake np; dear, wake up "
For an Instant Challoner stirred.
"I can hardly realize that Laurie Is
back," murmured Miriam happily. Un
conscious of the other's words, she re
tnalncd kneeling at the side of the
dainty s6fa, wltb Its far from dainty
burden, her arm still about the neck of
the nun who slept upon It.
At that Instant as Miriam and Shir
ley stood clustered about the sleeping
thing the bell once more broke out In
feeble clamor.
"The bell!" chorused the women and
stood froxen silent. Tbey heard Sle
vens tolling up tbe stslrs, waited
watched tbe door. Finally they ssw
him enter.
"It's tbe prosecutor's men again,
madam." said the butler. "They've
come to"—
