When Don is ready to leave she admits she would give anything if f.™ could care for him as he wishes. His passionate kiss arouses her dormant love Before Sonia tells Crane she is married. he mentions the breaking of his engagement. Sonia sayß she will be free a 'Wealthv WALTER HENDERSON commits suicide because of Sonta s refusal to marry nim. . , Sonia is present at the inquest. chapter lxi The coroner’s voice waa as smooth as velvet. "Now, Miss Marsh, you tell us that on the afternoon of the day Walter Henderson was drowned you refused his offer of marriage for the second or third time?” "Yes, sir." "AVas there anything different about this last proposal?” “I don’t understand what you mean?" “Anything more definite? More final? Would it bo possible for you to repeat your conversation?" Sonia's eyes dared not meet her lover’s as she repeated her words to Henderson on that last day. “I told him marriage between us would be impossible.” “Did you give him any reason?” Color swept to her black hair as she replied, “I said it was too late. My bridges were ail burned.” , She saw cold surprise in Jed Thomas’ face. But when the coroner urged an explanation of her words she lifted her head, proudly. “Is that necessary? I am repeating my exact words to Mr. Henderson.” “Very well. Continue." Her eyes filled with tears. “He said that he wasn’t a young man any longer, but he had not given up hope until that afternoon. And "yv’hen he left he added, “One can’t escape fate.” “Those were his last words to you?” “Yes." “That will do." As Sonia took her seat, sighing with relief, she caught a peculiar smile on Bertie’s face. What did it mean? She had told the truth

He couldn’t say anything which would be more embarrassing. But she watched him, anxiously, as he rose. Her lips were suddenly dry. Her throat burned. She could not take her eyes from his thin, sharp, features. “Mr. Donahue, you are, a salesman for the Thomas Real Estate Company?” "I am.” “Do you recollect seeing the deceased in the office of that company on Thursday afternoon?" “I certainly do.” “Will you tell us, jilease, if you heard or saw anything to make you think his state of mind might hava been unsettled?” “When I saw Mr. Henderson on Thursday afternoon lie and Mr. Crane were quarreling.” The coronep leaned forward. “You say the gentlemen were quarreling? Can you state nature of that quarrel?" “Mr. Henderson started to pass Mr. Crane's desk and Mr. Crane said something to him in a low voice which i did not understand. Henderson stopped as if her were surprised. And Crane shouted, so that all of us in the office could hear, “I’m. warning you. You leave her alone or you’ll damned well know . what I mean.’ ” Sonia sent one swift pitying glance in Franklin's direction. He was leaning forward. His blue eyes had the desperate straining look of a rat caught in a trap. In that moment Sonia could have, clawed the flesh from Bertie’s mottled face... that he should dare to throw suspicion on her lover. It was ridiculous. No one would believe him. But the coroner was asking, “And what was Henderson’s reply?” "He said, 'You're not responsible for your remarks Just now, Franklin. I shouldn’t say any more if I were you.’ ” “What did he mean by saying that Mr. Crane was not responsible?” Bertie smiled. "He may have referred to Mr. Crane’s condition.” “Was Mr. Crane intoxicated that afternoon?” • ”1 would not say he was intoxicated. He had been drinking.” “Continue your testimony, please.” “At that moment Miss Marsh came up and they left the office together.” “You mean?” “Miss Marsh and Mr. Henderson." The room became filled with undercurrents. The air was close. The coroner, seated at his table, swayed before Sonia’s eyes. He called upon the other salesmen, who, reluctantly, corrobrated Bertie’s story. Mr. Thomas, also,

was forced to admit that It was true. Jnder pressure he gave the additionil information that Franklin Crane .vas subject to periodic drinking spells, that he had been absent from the office the day following the quag -■el. Sonia could understand the drift of the testimony. She realized that it was purely malicious on Bertie’s but evidence was piling up against Franklin. She twisted her hands together frantically when Franklin was called for the second time. "Mr. Crane, when you testified the first time you did not tell all you knew about this matter.” “I aid not think the words I had with Mr. Henderson in the office had any bearing on his death.” ‘‘You didn’t. That’s rather a strange attitude on your part. If you had heard another man threaten him on the afternoon he met his death by drowning, would not you have considered It pertinent?” Franklin did not answer. Sonia could-not bear to look at his face. “Now, Mr. Crane, if this quarrel has no bearing on the case it will be very easy for you to prove an alibi. Give us a detailed account of every hour you # spent on Thursday night from 11 p. m. until Friday morninp.” Then Sonia knew that he was caught. His eyes met hers pleadingly. As if she could help. But what could she do? She knew he was innocent. He 'must know she would save him if she could. “I spent the evening with Miss Marsh.” "The same Miss Marsh whom you warned Henderson to ffeave alone?” “I did not say so.” “AVhat time did you leave there?” He hesitated. He faltered, ‘‘About eleven . . “And then?” “I went to my shack In Marin County,” Franklin declared, defiantly. “How did you go there, Mr. Crane?” ‘ln my ear. I reached there a little after 1 o’clock.” “There was someone with you. I presume. Someone who con corroborate your story." “Unfortunately not. I went alone.” Crane, will you explain your reason for drh'lng over to Marin County at midnight of a week night to sleep in a lonely shack?” Franklin's face was contracted with fear. It was livid, ghastly But he cried, "I ae n o necessfty for explaining my choice of sleep-

No!” screamed Sonia leap-, ing V> her feet. “I will tell you everything.” Her green e>*bs Hashed fire. Bertie thought he could crush her with his malicious testimony, did he?

“Yes, Mr. Crane was with me on Thursday night. He did not leave me at 11 o’clock. I went with him to his shack in Marin County.” “Where you remained all night?" Her voice did not falter.
