Alden
,
as
small
as
her
daughter
nearly
,
and
limp
and
still
,
he
gathered
her
into
his
strong
arms
and
carried
her
through
the
dining-room
into
the
living-room
,
where
stood
an
antiquated
lounge
,
on
which
he
laid
her
.
And
there
,
feeling
for
her
pulse
,
and
then
hurrying
for
some
water
,
while
he
looked
for
some
one
--
a
son
,
daughter
,
neighbor
,
any
one
.
But
not
seeing
any
one
,
hurrying
back
with
the
water
to
dash
a
little
of
it
on
her
face
and
hands
.
"
Is
there
a
doctor
anywhere
near
here
?
"
He
was
addressing
Titus
,
who
was
now
kneeling
by
his
wife
.
"
In
Biltz
--
yes
--
Dr.
Crane
.
"
"
Have
you
--
has
any
one
around
here
a
telephone
?
"
"
Mr.
Wilcox
.
"
He
pointed
in
the
direction
of
the
Wilcox
's
,
whose
telephone
Roberta
had
so
recently
used
.
"
Just
watch
her
.
I
'll
be
back
.
"
Forthwith
he
was
out
of
the
house
and
away
to
call
Crane
or
any
other
doctor
,
and
then
as
swiftly
returning
with
Mrs.
Wilcox
and
her
daughter
.
And
then
waiting
,
waiting
,
until
first
neighbors
arrived
and
then
eventually
Dr.
Crane
,
with
whom
he
consulted
as
to
the
advisability
of
discussing
with
Mrs.
Alden
yet
this
day
the
unescapable
mystery
which
had
brought
him
here
.
And
Dr.
Crane
,
very
much
impressed
by
Mr.
Mason
's
solemn
,
legal
manner
,
admitting
that
it
might
even
be
best
.
And
at
last
Mrs.
Alden
treated
with
heroin
and
crooned
and
mourned
over
by
all
present
,
being
brought
to
the
stage
where
it
was
possible
,
slowly
and
with
much
encouragement
,
to
hear
in
the
first
place
what
the
extenuating
circumstances
were
;
next
being
questioned
concerning
the
identity
of
the
cryptic
individual
referred
to
in
Roberta
's
letter
.
The
only
person
whom
Mrs.
Alden
could
recall
as
ever
having
been
mentioned
by
Roberta
as
paying
particular
attention
to
her
,
and
that
but
once
the
Christmas
before
,
was
Clyde
Griffiths
,
the
nephew
of
the
wealthy
Samuel
Griffiths
,
of
Lycurgus
,
and
the
manager
of
the
department
in
which
Roberta
worked
.
But
this
in
itself
,
as
Mason
and
the
Aldens
themselves
at
once
felt
,
was
something
which
assuredly
could
not
be
taken
to
mean
that
the
nephew
of
so
great
a
man
could
be
accused
of
the
murder
of
Roberta
.
Wealth
!
Position
!
Indeed
,
in
the
face
of
such
an
accusation
Mason
was
inclined
to
pause
and
consider
.
For
the
social
difference
between
this
man
and
this
girl
from
his
point
of
view
seemed
great
.
At
that
,
it
might
be
so
.
Why
not
?
Was
it
not
likely
that
a
youth
of
such
a
secure
position
would
possibly
more
than
another
,
since
she
was
so
attractive
as
Heit
had
said
,
be
the
one
to
be
paying
casual
and
secret
attention
to
a
girl
like
Roberta
?
Did
she
not
work
in
his
uncle
's
factory
?
And
was
she
not
poor
?
Besides
,
as
Fred
Heit
had
already
explained
,
whoever
it
was
that
this
girl
was
with
at
the
time
of
her
death
,
she
had
not
hesitated
to
cohabit
with
him
before
marriage
.
