5 "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."

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."

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."
