THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY

[continued.] Biota glared nercely at Air. Mitchel for a moment and then suddenly became calm again. “Brih! You can't bluff me. You overheard that part of our conversation also. That is how you know the signal agreed upon in the event of her deciding not to follow me.” “I did not send the dispatch last night for the reason which I have given, but now that you are. in Boston I do not object to delivering the original. Perhaps you may recognize the lady’s chlrography. Here it is.” He handed the paper to him, and Mora took it nervously. He saw at a glance that it was genuine and was for an Instant overcome by his disappointment. Then he controlled himself again, and, speaking as coolly as did Mr. Mitchel himself, he said: “Very well. Perhaps now you will allow me once more to ask you why you have come here?” “Once more I reply to be present at your wedding.” Mora was puzzled by this reiteration and contracted his brow in thought. Then a new idea occurred to him: “Do you mean that—that Perdita has come, after all?” “No; Ido not mean that. lam not alluding to Perdita when I speak of your marriage.” « “Then, in the name of all that is wonderful, who is this mysterious woman who Is to be my wife?” “Lilian Vale!” “Lilian Vale!” cried Mora, recoiling. “Lilian Vale! You are mad!” “No, Mr. Mora. lam perfectly sane. I came to Boston to be present when you marry Lilian Vale!” “Not if I know myself!” “Ah, but perhaps you do not know yourself! Few men do. Listen to me, Mora! It is absolutely necessary that you marry this girl.” “But why? Why should I marry her? She Is nothing but a little variety actress. Why, she is”— “She is the mother of your child!” said Mr. Mitchel Impressively. At this Mora dropped into a chair, fairly overwhelmed. “You don’t mind making assertions, do you?” he said at last, still attempting to brave it out. “I suppose you got that cock and bull story from her?” “Not entirely. For example, she did not tell me your name. She calls you Morton. Yes, and for a short time she alluded to you as Matthew Crane. You will admit that it is suspicious for a gentleman to have aliases?” “What proof have you that I ever used those names?”

“Come, come, Mr. Mora! You are not dealing with a child. You admitted to Mr. Barnes and myself that you called yourself Morton in your slumming expeditions and in the house in Essex street. You also admitted that there was a Mrs. Morton In the same house. Then you sent a note to that Mrs. Morton, and also a carriage, in which she drove away. Now that same Mrs. Morton turns out to be Lilian Vale, and in your note you told her where to go and instructed her to call herself Mrs. Matthew Crane. So, you see, I know everything.” Perceiving that further denial was useless, Mora laughed and, lighting a cigarette, put it jauntily between his teeth and said: “Well, what if It Is all true? What are you going to do about it?” “I dm going to persuade you to marry Lilian Vale.” “I’d like to know how. It will take a good deal of persuasion, let me tell you.” “That will depend upon the quality, of the persuasion. There are two kinds at my command—moral suasion and force.” “Force! Force me to marry against my will! Mr. Mitchel, excuse the slang, but you make me tired.” “I will make you more than that before many minutes, young man. I will make you penitent and obedient!” . Mr. Mitchel spoke sharply, and Mora took his cigarette from his mouth and looked at him, puzzled. “What do you mean?” “First let me ask you a question. This girl was an innocent child when you met her. She loves you. She is beautiful. Above all, she is the mother of your child. Will you marry her for these reasons?” “No; I will not!T “Then moral suasion fails, and you compel me to resort to force. I regret this, for up to this moment I looked upon you merely as the heedless, fast young man of the day. Now I know that Mr. Barnes’ estimate of you is correct. You are a criminal.” “You are a liar!” retorted Mora angrily. “I pass that by,” said Mr. Mitchel, “as idle words which you cannot prove. Mine, however, are susceptible of proof. I repeat, you are a criminal, and I can prove it!” “I’d like you to tell me what crime I have committed and then show me your proof.” “Very well. Now we approach our business in unbusinesslike manner. You committed the crime of abandoning your infant, and the punishment is seven years in the penitentiary. What have you to say?” “I say rot! If you think you can

“Heaven and earth will both be lost to you if you do not comply with my wishes. You will be confined behind stone walls, and the colonel will see to it, I promise you, that executive clemency never reaches you until you have served your time in full. Do you not see that the only hope of escape is in the marriage which I suggest? Thus the law would be satisfied, the colonel would be satisfied, the girl would be satisfied, and, what is best of all, your own conscience would be satisfied.” Mora had started from his seat and was walking nervously up and down the room. “You are right,” said he at length. “I will do as you wish.” “Very well. 80 much I knew that I could compel you to promise. But I wish you to do more than this. I am really befriending you In this affair, and you should feel some obligation. Lilian is a sweet, good girl, despite her present position. What she is her heritage, her environment and your mischievous scheming have made her. But she is full of love for you, and she deserves not only to be your wife, but also to be cherished by you and be made happy. Do you not see this yourself? Is there not one spark of manhood about you which leads you to wish to make amends for the past by brightening this girl’s future? Do not marry her merely because I compel you to do so, but do so, if you can, from the prompting of your own better nature. Can you not do this?” Mora was much touched and hung his head a moment. Then impulsively he exclaimed: “I have been a villain. I see it all now. But I am not all to blame. I had no mother. She died when I was a child, and my father—well, you did not know him; that is all I have to say. But I will marry Lilian, and I will make her *happy, as heaven is my judge. And there’s my hand on it. But stop. Perhaps you think that I killed my father?” “If I thought so, I should not allow you to wed this girl.” £xo bk oosTnnnm.l

prove ma 1, you are inigntuy mistaken.” “We shall see.” Mr. Mitchel touched the electric button, and when the hallboy came he gave him a note. While waiting the two men sat silent, Mora smoking his cigarette and gazing insolently at Mr. Mitchel. Within ten minutes there was a tap on the door, and Mr. Mitchel admitted Kebecca Polaski. “Rebecca, you remember the story you told me about seeing the man who placed that baby in the graveyard?” said Mr. Mitchel. “Yes, sir,” said the girl timidly. “The moon shone brightly for awhile, and you saw the man’s face, did you not? You saw it distinctly?” “Oh, yes, sir!” “You would be able to recognize that man if you should see him again, would you not?” “I would know.him anywhere.” “Very well. Stop looking at me. Look *t that man sitting there. ' So! Tell me—do you recognize him?” Rebecca Polaski gazed fixedly at Mora, and lie stared at her fearlessly In return. At length she spoke: ' “No, sir; I never saw him before!” “Ha, ha, ha!” laughed Mora boisterously. “What did 1 tell you? So you thought you had a witness to my erime, did you? Well, you see you did lie when you called me a criminal.” Mr. Mitchel was chagrined to find that Rebecca could not identify Mora, but he was stung into action by the sneering tone in which the younger man now addressed him. Turning to the girl, he dismissed her, and then, advancing toward Mora, he said: “Silence! You escape from this charge, but there is a greater one.” “Murder, eh?” “No; I have no proof of that, though Mr. Barnes thinks he has. But do you realize that this girl whom you refuse to marry, this girl who is the mother of your child—do you realize, I ask you, that she was only 14 years old when you began to ensnare her with your wiles? Do you know that she is the daughter of Colonel Payton, one of the directors of the Metropolitan Foundling society? Ha! That is news to you, but it is true. Now, suppose that Colonel Payton, backed by that powerful society, should begin to prosecute you. Do you think that all your millions would save you from the full penalty of the law, 20 years in Sing Sing?” “Twenty years in Sing Sing! Heaven and earth!” exclaimed Mora, pale with fear.
