THE MM Slit DID
By OPIE READ.
Considering the (act that she was
young and handsome, sjie was re
garded as exceptionally earnest. To
write (or a newspaper was her ambi
tion, and all she wanted waB a chance.
Finally a chance came. John Ferron
had been charged with defrauding a
building association out of $5,000. The
amount was not large; Ferron was
not a prominent man; the case was
good ottly for a "stick full," and it was
given to the new girL The suspect
ed calpplt had been placed under
bonds and eould be found at his board
ing house, he city editor told her.
She was elated. Instantly she had be
come a factor of the great city. She
thought of her home In the country,
the dull life, the dally complaint of
the neighbors, the dead eternity of
Bon-eventfulnesa.
Ferron was In his room when a
servant brought a card bearing the
name of "Miss Eva Smith." That was
all; nothing to Indicate her business;
but at this Ferron took fright, sup
posing that she might be another one
of those "defrauded" home-seekers.
He sighed distressfully and, with the
resignation which oomea when some
times we have reached the limit of
calamity, he told the servant to let
ber come in. The visitor's fresh and
engaging face for a moment drove
calamity back Into the dark corner.
Ferron (lopped out of his chair and
invited her to sit down. She did,
with a smile, glancing about the
room, at the cheap books on a shelf,
at the picture of a boy at a well,
drinking out of an old oaken bucket;
at a stuffed owl on a bracket, and
then she looked at Ferron. She had
expected to see an oldish man, lean
and (ox-like. Bhe was surprised to
see a young fellow, curly of hair and
handsome.
"I'm atrald I've come on unpleas
ant business," she said.
He mulled. "No matter what your
business may be, your coming is pleas
ant," he replied.
"Thank you."
"Not at all."
For a time they sat looking at each
other. lie cleared his throat. "I be
rieve you said something about un
pleasant business."
"Yes-; I am a reporter, and "
"Is that so unpleasant? If It is,
why don't you quit it?"
"Oh, reporting Isn't unpleasant
ly charming. But I have come to
interview you."
"Interview me! I have already been
mterviewed by a justice of the peace
and have been bound over. Ah! what
do ytm want me to say?"
"Oh, Just anything. You might
well, say something to defend your
self, you know."
"But that wouldn't do any good.
I ant already half-way condemned."
"But it might keep you from be
mg condemned the other half."
He leaned back in his chair and
laughed. She laughed too, and then
she told him that he did not look
guilty. He thanked her and replied
that he was not. She was pleased to
hear it, she said; she had not expect
ed to get a confession out of him, and
thanked him for his conhdencu in ner.
But suddenly she lookod serious. "Oh.
but that wasn't a confession:" she
said. "It was simply an assertion.
People don't confess except when they
acknowledge that they are guilty. I
don't know what I have been thinking
about. Hut you know a woman does
not believe a man guilty if he is
agreeable. Only the disagreeable
men are guilty."
"The man who Is disagreeable to
women ought to be condemned on
general principles or, rather, on
general unprinciples," he replied; and
they both of them laughed, and she
wondered what time It was. He said
that It wasn't late, looking at his
watch ; but she declared that she must
be going, dropping into that serious
mood which, in the office, had caused
Bnmrlse, With this man, however,
she could not long remain serious.
There was something about him that
made her smile. She knew that he
might possibly be on the road to the
penitentiary, for the justice of the
peace had bound him over; but, some
how, she felt glad whenever she
looked at him. Was he a humorist
set in silence to cause laughter? "I
must really go," she said, getting up.
He did not arise.
"Must you go?" he inquired, with a
soothing regret In his voice. And then
he added: "When are you coming
back?'
"Coming back? I didnt say that 1
was."
"I know you didn't, and that's the
reason I asked you. '
She laughed. It was Impudent of
him, but somehew. It pleased her.
"Why should I come back?"
"To get a detailed statement when
I prepare U."
"Oh, are you going to do that? I
the peace is it usual for him to make
a detailed statement?"
"It Is usual for me."
"Then you have been arrested and
bound over before?"
"No; this is the first time."
"You you tangle me all up. I don't
understand you. But, really, I haven't
learned anything by coming. You sim
ply say that you are not guilty. We
expected you to say that. Can't you
tell me just a little something some
thing to help me in the office? I for
got to tell you, but this is my first
assignment"
"I never shall forget mine," he
said.
"Oh, and were you a reporter?"
"Yes; and I quit it because the pa
per changed hands. Never could got
another job. But I have beeu think
ing that I might make arrangements
to send in news from the penitentiary
society news, fr Instance."
"On," she said, brightening, "I
might mate something of that. Well,
good-by."
Ferron Bat gazing at the chair.
Jumping up he hastened to the
window and watched the girl as she
was getting on a car. She did not
look back at the house, and even so
little a thing as that made his heart
hoavler. "She was sent as a beauti
ful torture," he said. "Now I shall
have a worry harder to bear tfian
the other one. Go on, vision; that's
all you are."
The vision was going on toward
the office, framing a sketch In her
mind; and she wrote it with a dash
it was so full of spirit that It leaped
and bubbled from her pen; but when
she teok it to the city editor he
frowned at H and declared that It
was too lopg. When, however, he had
read It, with a few sweeps of his mas
tering eye, he complimented her and,
with a shrug of his shoulder, dis
missed her. The Bketch appeared, a
vivid light amid a gloom of ordinary
crimes; and the next day she re
ceived a note from Ferron. "I didn't
know that I could serve as such an
inspiration. My trial is set for next
Friday. Come over."
She was sent to write something
about the trial. Her sketch had made
the case important He smiled at her,
and, though it seemed to sand a light
into her heart, she resented it, and in
her report she said a few mean things
about him. That would teach him a
lesson. And it did, for the next day
he simply looked at her. Then she
was sad, and sought an opportunity
to bee his pardon. The Jury acquitted
him, and he went away without giving
her a chance to speak to him. "I knew
he was not guilty," she mused. Per
haps now he might still wish to make
his detailed statement"
When she went, however, she did
not pretend to have come for a state
ment. Boldly Bhe declared that she
had come to beg his pardon for hav
ing said mean things about him. He
smiled, and begged her not to think
of it He had not been offended. He
deserved all that she had said.
"No; I was cruel, and you so inno
cent, too."
He laughed. "Singular how inno
oent some can be, iBn't it?" he said,
looking Into her eyes.
She said yes, and looked down.
Then he spoke, and his voice was so
solemn that it startled her. "Miss
Smith, I made one confession, didn t
I?"
"Yes, you confessed your Innocence,
and you were not guilty."
"I now have another confession to
make. I was guilty."
"Oh, you don't mean it."
"I do mean it. I was a scoundrel
I sat here one day musing over the
fact that the whole world was a .ras
cal and a swindle. I needed $5,000,
and knew how I could get the money
by wrecking a concern of which I
was the manager. I did it nicely
most delicately. I was proud of my
work. Of course, I was indicted. 1
knew that would be done. But I also
knew that my work was so fine that
they couldn't prove anything. And
they didn't. Now call me a scoundrel,
and bid me good-by."
"1 don't believe you," Bhe gasped.
"It's true. But look here, , I have
just squared up with the concern.
See this receipt?" He handed to her
a piece of paper. The $5,000 had been
returned. She handed back the pa
per and sat looking down. "I must
go," Bhe said. She got up, and he
followed her to the door. 1 was a
scoundrel, but I'm not now," he said.
"I despise myeelf for having been
weak. Something made me strong
you made me strong. Yes, I love you,
and my love for you and dishonesty
could not go together. Until 1 knew
you my soul was unfinished. It was
