parting word- between Harold Roth
weU and Alice Swain, for their heart. |
loo full to say more. They 1
to have been married within a fair
months. but RothweU bad developed
pulmonary trouble. und It was decided
that b? wboold go weal and lira as
outdoor life. The prospect before
tbem w.i. gloomy. Even IX Harold
recovered bla health tbe tfirlug up of
prospects be was leaving might keep
him to poverty and necessitate their
continued separation.-lie turned away
* eat otit for the railway slalion.
AUcw watched him till be reached a
bend tn the road, when be turned and
**i?. ?>? stormed it> end
out of sight. Ssd Ma they
wet?, they, would have bee* far more
so bad ibey known what woukl bai
pen before they should mm* again.
That aame day two years hence I
found Roth well financial manager for
Henry Palmer, a rancbev, though but
Jnst appointed to tbe position. Roth
well had long been a sheep herder for
Palmer, and tbe out of door life had
completely cured him of hia ailing.
As soon sa it was considered safe for
him to lead a more confined life Palm
er, who had taken a great fancy tp
him and who needed, a dark, put him
in charge of the financial part of his
! fmncbiag. Then RothweU wrote to
I Alice 8wain that within another year
be hopsd to return for ber and bring
{jtff feftifc wlfh aim,
? The ranch Wis noL a large one. and
tbe owner and bla clerk were tbe only
two persons engaged upon it except a
few herders, who were always away
in cat* of the flocks. The men bf-.
came very warm friends and were al
most constantly together. One day
, Palmer said to to deck:
1 -Yon kaow. Harold. that 1 an V
j bachelor aod hive no one in the world
j to leave what belongs to me. I'm
going to make % will bequeathing tbla
ranch and tbe atock on St to you." ^
RothweU a mi led. "Considering that
' you are but tea years older than 1 and
far stronger. X think 1 would better
leave my possessions. If 1- bad an to
you." ^
-Furthermore." Palmer continued
without noticing the comment, "there
are five $um bonds, which will also
be youra. Three booda. together with
some old family trinkets, I bare plac
ed In biding, and I am going to show
you where they are hidden. They,
too, will go to you at my death."
He led the way to the attic and
from a receaa formed by a corner In
the roof between two Joists took a tin
box. opened It and showed RothweU
the bonds and tbe trinkets referred to.
The latter consisted of a gold watch
bearing the Initiate H. P. and some
srticles of jewelry.
"Yon are very kind." said RothweU,
-to make me your heir; but, as I hsve I
said. I don't think there Is the slight- |
eat chance of my ever receiving my In
heritance."
-There Is a better chance than you
think." said tbe other.
RothweU looked at him inquiringly,
but received no further confidence.
Palmer replaced tbe box, and tbe two
men returned to the lower story. Then
Palmer opened a safe kept on the
premises, took out a will, showed
RothweU that It was In his favor, put
it back and closed the safe door.
"Why." asked RothweU, -don't you
top the bonds and tbe other thinga '
In die safe?"
-I have a special reason for not
keeping the bonds there. As to the
watch and Jewela, It doean't much
matter where they are kept. Some
day you may learn the reason. So
long aa 1 live I can trust you not to
disturb tbe box in the garret and
after my death what It contains may
be of seme benefit other M>aa for their
intrinsic valu?."

one baring attacked Palmer and do
evidence of Rothwell'a atory that be
bad boon robbed appeared. Tbo court
retained charge of I'aimer's property,
hot allowed tbo legatee sufficient
funds to pay a lawyer to defend blm.
His attorney did the be*t in Ilk power
(or blm. but waa anable to establish
bla innocence. The Jury bang for
aome time between murder la tbo
flrst and second degree. but Anally
brought to a verdict of gailty of the
former. He was sentenced to Buffer
the. death penally.
And so It waa that Roth well, baring
escaped death from tuberculosis, bar
ing reached a condition where be
might jjrtng bis sweetheart to blm as

there are where the safagnarda against

Rothwell Was wuUik -i! m bo banged
ft few weeks after Li? lourlcUon. No
new trial waft grouted, no stay of pro
ceedings. aud tbe dfty or doom was
near when ?ouietbtog happened.
A yoong woman stood lobklng in
through i::o of a pawnshop In
the tufrg * lu?:v Cut h well was coorlcfr '

dressed In plain clothes waa In the j
?hop, liitmiewlatf the pawnbroker,
about some aioteu g.wda that be bad
loaned money o;). The woman entered
tbe Rbop and prcdrtcO n fco
which she caked for n loan. The Lro- 1
kftr Inspected the watch and at ones i
caught fight of two letters. "H.fV' ;

broker.
' The woman as id she did not know !
Tbo detective took a baud In question

tere. There, after many surmises
?orne one noticed that H. p.- wen.
tbe initials of Heury Palmer, for whoea
taurder Hotbwell was to be hanged In
ft few dftys. Tbe chief of police put
tbe women through tbe "third degree"
process, with tbe result of ? confession
thftt she bad murdered Palmer.
llany were Inclined to doubt that
tbe confession was genuine. Had It
aot been for tbe feet that the woman
bad attempted to borrow money on a
watch with Palmer1 a t?ittt?i^ on it ut
tle attention would have been paid to
ber statement. Sbe claimed 'to hare
been a discarded wife of Palmer s, and
It was for this casting off that she had
killed him. Tbe watch was shown to
Bothwell, sod be told tbe police where
he had seen It. This Identified the
woman with Pslmer, she wss charged
with bis murder, and Rothwell was re
lessed. He asked to see the person
who stood to bis plsce and was tsken
to ber celL
What wan bb? amazement to recog
nize Alice Swain.
Before he had time to betray their
relationship she gave him a look that
put him on bla guard. She then spoke
to'him as a stranger, telling him that
tf be could get permission to see her
alone she would throw additional light
on tbe murder. Permlnxlon was grant
ed. and the two were left alone.
Not daring to embrace each other,
they refrained. Alice talked about the
murder, but. fearful of being over
beard. said nothing to reveal tbe true
situation. Meanwhile sbe scratched
on a bit of paper:
