 "Can't you economize

'til my investments pay? It won't be for long."

6

 "If you want me to give

up my friends and social position - well - I won't."

7

 "The same old story -

My husband objects to my extravagance - and you."

8

 "Dick, you're working

too hard over this deal - Don't forget you have a wife."

9

 "It's for my wife,

I'm doing it."

10

 "They want me - as

treasurer of the Fund - to ask the loan of your house for the Red Cross Ball."

11

 "This makes over Ten

Thousand Dollars now in the Fund Treasury."

12

 "Mrs. Hardy is out

with Mr. Arakau."

13

 "Didn't your mistress 

pay your wages on the first of the month?"

14

 "I must have new 

gowns for the Red Cross affairs. I am Treasurer of the Fund."

15

 "I can't spend a cent 

now. Wait till my invest- ment pays, and you'll have plenty."

16

 "D. & O. Stock is bound

to advance - I have put every cent I can raise on it."

17

 "He's forcing me to

give up everything."

18

 "Can't I help? No

one need know."

19

 "Your husband is wrong 

about D. & O. He should take my advice and buy United Copper."

20

 "Could you do anything

with Ten Thousand Dollars?"

21

 "Let me invest it in

United Copper tonight - and I'll double your money tomorrow."

22

 "I won it playing bridge.

Promise not to tell."

 "That means it 

belongs to me."

26

 "We've lost - your

Ten Thousand Dollars is gone."

27

 "I've got to have Ten

Thousand Dollars to- morrow."

28

 "I wish I could help 

you - but I couldn't raise a dollar tonight to save my life."

29 "Do you agree?"

30 "Tomorrow."

31 The Fund is Presented.

32

 "We're rich, Edith -

rich - my investment in D. & O. succeeded."

33 "Come tonight."

34

 "Does this mean that

you can give me Ten Thousand Dollars right now?"

35

 "I lost it playing 

bridge - I was afraid to tell you."

36 The Cheat.

37

 "You cannot buy

me off."

38

 "Lock the doors

and go."

39

 "If you keep me here

- I'll kill myself."

40 "Who shot you?"

41 "I shot him!"

42 With the Morning Light.

43 "I shot him!"

44

 "Why were you in 

his rooms?"

45

 "I lost the Fund money

- Arakau knew it and offered help - if I would pay the price."

46

 "I forbid you to 

speak!"

47 "East is East and West is West and never the Twain shall meet."

48

 "I will pay you all I

have to drop this case."

49

it is in the hands of the law."

50

 "You cannot cheat 

me twice."

- he have this gun."

54

 "Richard Hardy

shot me."

55 The Defense.

56

 "In trying to disarm 

him, I shot him."

57

 "What was your real 

reason for shooting Arakau?"

58

 "I shot him - that's

all I have to say."

59 The Verdict.

60 "Guilty."

61

 "I shot Arakau and

this is my defense."

62

 "The verdict is

set aside."

63

 "Your honor, I move

that the indictment against this defendant be dismissed."

64

 "Mr. Hardy, you are

a free man."
