Mrs. Marlinight was one of those women with whom any one rould get on. She was kind hearted and- would like very much to give her aunt a home. Mrs. Cynthia Withers. a widow. would pay a good round sum for her board. and that would he a benefit to Mrs. him-Knight. who. on her husband's salary. found it diffi- cult to make ends meet. John Mac- Knight would rather have had Old Nick come to reside in his house. but he knew that pecuniarily it would re- lieve the strain on, his wife. and he consented for her sake. Mrs. Withers came and seemed much relieved to get out of Miss Stone‘s clutehes. The old lady was a good deal broken down, and Mary Mue- Knight devoted herself,to building her 111).

The aunt had been much uttaehed to Mary while the latter was :1 child. and it seemed now that she could not get on with any one else. "Aunt Cynthia is caning 1:. five with Mrs. Withers had a son who was of a roving disposition. He was not fit- ted to take care of his mother nor Would she have been able to live with him. owing to her nervous condition. A year after she came to the Mac- Knigbts. she received news that her son had died abroad. After his death she said to Mary: “I'm going to make a new will. While I was living: with Ellen Stone 1 think she must have hypnotized me. for one day when l was ill she asked me to sign a paper. and 1 did as she bid me. She had provided two wit- nesses. and this makes me think that the paper I signed was a will. if so I have no doubt that it cut off my own son. to whom I had left all my proper- ty except a legacy to you. When l got better I asked Ellen to let me see the paper I had signed. and she said that. since my recovery. it was of no consequence; fearing that I was go- ing to die. she had simply had the sign instructions with regard to my funeral and giving her authority to draw the necessary funds. When I insisted on seeing what I had signed she said she had burned it.” , The new will executed by Mrs. With- ers left Mary MacKnight all her prop- erty. The aunt 'showed the document ito her heir and told her that in case of :her death she would find it in an an- »tique writing desk in her room in i which she kept all her papers. Not long after the execution of this will Mrs. Withers was advised by her physician to go to a sanitarium. where she would escape the noises of a city and have such trained attendance as she required. She did not Wish to go. nor did her niece wish her to go. Though she was a great care. Mary had become accustomed to minister to her Wants. and since she was Mary’s only living near blood relative Mary had grown fiery year more attached to her. Mary went with her to the sanitarium and regretfully left her there. It was hoped that the invalid would after a rest be so restored as to war- rant her return. but she graduz-illy be- came more dependent on doctors and nurses and remained in the sanitarium as long as she lived. One day in February John Mac- Knigh't put his wife on a steamer and sent her to the Bermuda islands. The winter had been long. and Mary had not stood up under it very well. While she was away John slept at home. tak- ing his meals outside. It happened that the day Mary re- turned. her hushand was unable to meet her at the dock. being. detained at his place of business by a matter of importance. Mary arrived at home about 5 o‘-clo<k in the afternoon. and. having a duplicate key with her. let herself into the l1m1se..Goi11g at once upstairs she was about to enter her room~ when she heard something that lsounded like the rustle of skirts in an- luther chamber formerly occupied by her aunt and which had been kept just as the old lady had left it in ex- pectation than she would return to“ it. Mary entered the room and there. endeavoring to conceal herself behind the window curtains. was a woman. Seeing that she was discoverexl the intruder came forth and stoud the pie- ture of misery. '* “What are you doing ln my house?". asked Mrs. MacKnight.,,wlth seéerity. “Let me go: please let me go! “I. have stolen nothing!” The woman was about thirty years old, comely and handsomely dressed. “What are you doing here. i say?” repeated Mary. ”You are not a thief: you are a lady." ' ' There were quick flashing: in the eyes of the stranger indicating that m was looking for some metl'md of extfirndng heme”.

She heard the front door open. then the Vuire of her husband. ”I be: your pardon. madam: but I should like to know what you have been doing in my house." "Let me go." came the voice of the woman who had just gone down- stairs. “Not until i have received a satis- factory explanation as to the cause of your presenee here." Mary sprang from the lied. The woman must he a thiet’ after all and had made her believe that she had come to meet John in order to "get away with the valuables she had taken and escape arrest. The thought was min. gled by a delightful feeling of relief that her husband was innoveut. Rush- in: to the landing. she cried: "Don't let her go, John; she’s a thief." John closed the front door, shutting the intruder in. Mary mu down and confronted the woman with her hus- band, Both were too intent on the matter of preventing the thiet from getting: away with whatever she had stolen to think of saluting eavh other after their long separation. “Tum over the plunder." said John. “You may as wol! give it up to me as to the police.” "l have no plunder." said the woman drawing quivk breaths in Her escite ment. "Very well. you have been caught in my house. and that is trespass. Mary, go to the phone and call for the Mike.” “Hold?" said the woman. “Well?" She darted her eyes about her. One thing alone might have saved herâ€"a fire. but there was no tire in the huuse exeept in the humane in the base- meut. In her desperation the woman took from under her outer‘mat a pa- per and tried to tear it. but it His folded, and she was not stu-eesst'ul. John snatched it from her and, look- ing at an indorsemeut on the outside. read. "Last Will and 'l‘estzuueut of Cynthia Withers.”. "Who are you and wlmt do you want with this?" asked .luhu. The woman made no reply for a few minutes: then she said: "Since I have not suvceeded there is no harm done and you can well afford to let me go away quietly. 1 am Ellen Stone." “Ellen Stone!” gasped Mary. , “Go on." said John. “Mrs. Withers died this morning in the sanitarimn. lf 1 could have got out with that paper ‘1 wnuid have in- herited all her property. for l have a will dated long before that one. drawn in my favor." in my favor." “But how did you know where this will was Rein?" asked Mary. “When Mrs. Withers lived' with me:- she kept all her papers in her antique desk.

"You have nothing to gain by prose- cuting me for this attempt to get pos- session of Mrs. Withers‘ will. and I see no reason why you should not suffer me to depart” “1 can forgive you." said Mary. “for eudeavoring to deprive me of a fortune even by a criminal ruse. but it is not so easy to forgive you for pretending that you had won him from me. Suppose, as you have said. he had not arrived till you had gone. You would not only have stolen the fortune my aunt in- tended for me. but it is quite possible that you might have made an irrepar- able breach between him and me. No; I cannot permit you to go free." The woman cowered at this. She had committed an offense that if press- ed would send her to‘ prison for many years. John MacKnigbt interposed: The wife.
