Cecil!" he exolatmed, ‘who has done this? Speak, old man! Where are you hurt?’ As he spoke he lifted Clermont from the ground and supported him to a chair. ‘Jho wounded man’s Greek face was white, and a widening blood stain mitrred his shirt front. The window at the back of the alcove was open, It stood but ten feet above an alleyway. Laredo had made good this escape.

Who stabbed you?” asked a dozen voices as the men crowded about, eager to help. Through Cecil's pain-dulled mind pigreod their inquiries. Dimly he realized that if he confessed a jealous admirer of Hdith Fenton had struck him down, It’might bring the girl's name tnto un- Sieasant prominence. “Who Aid it?" repeated Wilton. “Was Laredo?” “An angry murmur ran through the There Are Many Ways of Popping the Question| In This Case, Pictured by Cartoonist Flinn, the Girl’s Mother Was Quick fo Catch On), 619 FO..

A policeman followed. A path was opened through the crowd as they passed. While the surgeon, in brisk, business. ike fashion, was baring the victim’ chest and with deft fingers examining the wound, the policeman was taking notes of the occurrence. Wilton told him briefly that the in- jured man had come to the ball with him; that they had been standing to- gether in an alcove, when a man whom neither recognized had rushed up, stabbed Clermont in the breast and es- caped through the window. “What's this wounded feller’s name?" asked the bluecoat, making notes in his ttle book. ‘Jacob Gorman, 6 Wanaque avenue, ‘New Rochelle,” led Wilton. Then, drawing the policeman aside, he eaid confidentially: “Look here, officer, This friend of mine is a married man and an official tn a New Rochelle bank, He came to town on the quiet for a good time, it wouldn't do for his wife to hear of this row. You've got his name and address. I'm his brother, and my address is the same as his. So in case this wound turns out badly you can always get hold of me If you want a witness.
