Times J without number he had disgraced her by his wild ' escapades. Her love for him, long since dead, centred \, about their only child, a bonnie, blue-eyed boy of five, who slumbered peacefully in his cot beside her. A chill draught from the opened street door roused her—a stealthy step sounded in the hall, and her husband stole quietly in. "I've killed a man," he said, sinking into a chair. Into his wife's mind rushed a tumult of thoughts. The gallows, disgrace, her boy a musderer's son. Ah! that hurt. HEE BOY, a murderer's son! Now, Gail Orcutt is not the fainting kind. While her husband quailed, terror-stricken, fearing every moment would bring the police, her brain began to evolve a plan. ''l must get him away," she decided. And get him away she did. She took the law into has own hands. She matched her woman's wit and will with the beat legal and police talent in New York—and won. Fancy a good woman bringing a substitute husband into her home. Suppose the man had just been discharged from an asylum after his mind had for months been blank. Suppose he thought himself the person she told him he was—suppose he demanded a husband's place. Think of her dilemma—if she denied him, her deception of the law would be discovered, her son's future ruined. SUPPORTING PROGRAMME: Pathe Gazette (TOPICAL) "Charlie Has a Picnic!"
