She wrges Annc t5 desert her “poor” husband to'ling her Morse still is willing to marry her and guirzec Anne about Glenn' nol> to her that she will fully repald for the mone spent on Annc’s social career Anne, however, is adamant. Their conversation is interrupt- ed when a clatter of pans calls Anne to the kitchen where Del- phine is working. Chapter 25 A DESPERATE WOMAN ‘When the door had closed be- hind her niece, Mrs. Wilmot rosc crossed over to the table and stood looking abou. her curiously, strik- ing the knuckles of one plump, white hand abstractedly against the table edge. Her eyes fall on the litter of pa- pers, which Anne had made no ati- fempt to put in order—knowing how men detest having their be- longings touched. She lifted one and then another, glancing at them absently, without any particular in- terest. But suddenly she raised an envelope close to her eyes. Finding it unsealed, she took it out and put on her glasses to read it—ordinarily she would not have been guilty of such an act, but she felt that the desperateness of the present crisis justified any means that might come to hand She perused the letter hastily but with eare. It was addressed: “Messrs Blackwell and Cooper, 619 Ex-| change Building, San Francisco,| California.” | It was the letter which Glenn| had written about the big gold strike; in the rush of things it had| been left unmailed. Mrs. Wilmot thrust the sheet| back into the envelope and shoved | it under the other papers. Then she stood 'considering tensely, her lips tightly compressed, her knuckles | still tappihg against the table-| edge. Finally she sat down in front of the table, drgw pen and ink swiftly toward her and wrote| her brows puckered wimi steadily, thought. Out in the kifchen Anne had dis Tovered that Delphine had sustaine no injury more serious than rather severe bruise on her fore-| heatl. Delphine in her gzeal for| ferreting out Sheb's choicest treas-| ures from their hiding places, had pulled dowh an old rubber boot| with a varied assortment of relics in it. When she put in her hand and pulled out a shake skin, she had screamed and fallen to the Anne bathed the bruised head with witchhagel, comforted her as best she could, and went back into the living room. When she entered, her aunt was Just moving away from the couch. on cne end of which lay Anne's old sweater. “Poor Delphine,” she said, laughing, “she almost pulled the whole kitchen down on her- P “1 didn't come up here to talk about Delphine—nor kitchens,” Mrs. Wilmot informed her tersely, “Now put on your hat, il you have one, and come on home with me. Leon has been more than generous, but he certainly can't be expected to} stand for further nonsense.” Anne gazed at her incredulously. “Auntie, can't you understand?” she said gently, “I'm not coming. And—even if I were not married already—there is nothing on earth that could induce me to be Leon Morse's wife, after what he has done—or tried to do!” “What has he done?” “You must know—that he and| Mr. Douglas have set these moun- taineers on to try to dynamite Mr. Glénn's—my husband's—reservoir.” | “Well, and what of that?” “What of it?” “My dear child,” Mrs. Wilmot was evidently trying hard now to beé patient, “you don't suppose for a moment that there's any fortune) in the same class as Leon's that hasn't got something as bad—or Aa good deal worse—than that behind it, do you?
