Exhausted, she dropped down on the grass once more. Kocky sat beside her. "Don't, tell me now." .-aid Rocky gently. "It's enough for me that you didn't do it " "Hut I've K! to '.ell you. it's no .simple. Don't you -ee? George Morti. ooer was jcatou.-; and he said he'd never fet Howard have me. So just as we came out of the side doo " "Wait a minute, dear. I'm not sure understand. Was G'eorge Mortimer the man in the cab?" "Why" she paused. "Why of cours,. he wu..-. How could I have thought he was my husband? No. Ho fhot Howard rig-lit after the wedding when we wer,. leaving very secretly for our honeymoon. 1 rememlber it now I am so thankful " She seemed to he looking clearly through a long mist of hone. "I came .throno-h tht aisle with my father to marry to marry Howard!" She wa incoher ent. Rocky helil her closely. "Howard Valcrv. liiii I ili,ln't" she looked hack at Rocky, all doubt I gone from her eyes. "I didn't kill Howard. Oh Rocky, I'm innocent of that. Thank (,'od, 1 remember it all iiow." Her eyes contracted suddely tvith the memory of a new plan. "But rt'Orge Mortimer killed him- He shot him and 1 1 must have fainted. I can't remember what else.'' "What happened just before the shot?" "Why. we were coming out of a side door to escape the crowd. Father man aged that. He was in the front of the house trying to keep- everybody itniused and unsuspecting. Then (icorge came from- behind the hedge and shot Howard. He said : Hmv-mrd.-'You'll never have her.' He shot and 1 fainted." They were silent. The low voice of the bishop patiently, reading the wed ding ceremony came to .them over the ncuge. .iuckv said. "itlereV lust one more thing ! want to know did you love Howard .- . She hesitated. .'I didn't 'know' about love hen " sh,. said. "1--I preferred .nun io ireorge, lm atraid that w;i About all. I know that sounds foolish Hut .sometimes girls marrv. for no bet rer -vasoiLs when it is a .ease of having iu men to get, rlil of. ' "But Doris the note? Do you re mrniVr the note you wrote" Her eyes sea relied bis face. "The ii !'.' t b. Yes. I did write Howard note. 1 told him not to marry me. I was afraid he'il be killed, 1 didn't want to have that on niv conscience. Oh-yes, It was awful. 1 kept think ing ot George's .threat 'all through the we, ling. Then when his face ca.iic oil' f the bushes as we left the b.'U-i- " i . the not, - iid. ) don't want to m yiiu.'. That was the part 'bat made l-"l':V iHink it was premeditated." Doris thought. "I can't remember N.u tly what I said in. the note now. 'o!ge turned up the- morning of the wedding. He threatened to kill How ard it 1 in. ii ried him. called Howard Uand told him. He wouldn't listen to me." !iii -.face "'contracted. ""Oh, (iooj- now.ir :poor Howard." Rocky held her closely. "Don't think : of it now. You mustn't. I'm a hrute So ak you all these questions.'' . o mi. I w:int you to understand. '''"' ' '", George that morning the:-;' wu- a teni de rush. 1 couldn't Uul any time for anything, .and all the time I felt that the wedding ought not to go on. Rut the familv had been -to. so ihuch trouble I knew noth ing could stop it unless Howard did. I nearly went ou: of my mind worry ing. Then I couldn't get to talk to Howard. He had a lot of things to do. Finally I sat down and wrote the note, and gave it to Bill Grant he was the best mankind told him to be sure Howard got it." "But why did you say. 'I don't want to kill you " "I felt a8'if that's what I'd be do ing if I married him- I knew George was in earnest, and I couldn't convince Howard." Rocky knodded. "I Understand'. It's just as you say to someone who wants to leave your hous.-j in a rainstorm, I don't want to give you pneumonia..' Was that it?" J "Oh yes. I'm afraid I'll never be able to make anyone understand about' that note." "I'll mil im'.thi. Wnlul kJ - - e uu j;vi them to put George Mortimer under a ist." .
