He walked to the window and Cassy stood hy the mantel, "Woll--you're all right, You're the most wonderful woman in the world," he said. "Every one adores you have the kids--"' "More than my sister has, col lecting prints in Paris," Caney ugreoed, in the pause, I have nothing," Dan said, She went to him, and put her arms along his arms, and gripped his shoulders with her brown fing- ors "You have me, Dan," she sald "I've nevay stopped loving vou I never will, 'There's something ~-pomething to think about, when you go away."

Cassy heard Dan shout, and saw him spring forward toward Dulce, "I'm all right, Cass--It's all right.

Dan had stopped on his way to- ward her, had sunk into a chalr "That's the time you got me," he whispered And turning his eyes to Cassy he breathed, "#he's done it, Cass." Cassy somehow had the smoking pistol in her hands.
