Be advisci, look to yourself, if he ever finds out what I know, I don’t believe any power cn earth could save you.” “Oh,” said Armstrong carelessly enough, although he was consumed with hate and jealousy and raging against her clearly evident disdain. “I can take care of myselfl, I guess. Anyway I only want to talk about you, not about him or her. Your fath- er—" “Is he well?” “Well enough, but heart-broken, ] crushed. I happened to be in his house In Philadelphia when the telegram came from your uncle that you were lost and probably dead. I had just asked him for your hand,” he added, smiling grimly at the recollection. “You had no right to do that.” “I know that.” “It was not, it is not, his to give.” “Still when I won you I thought it would be pleasant all around if he knew and approved.” “And did he?” “Not then, he literally drove me out of the house, but afterwards he said if I could find you i could have you; and, by Heaven, [ have found you and I will have you whether you like it or not.” i “Never,” cried the woman decisive ly. The situation had got on Arm- strong’s nerves, and he must perforce show himself in his true colors. His only resources were his strength, not of mind but of body. He made anoth- er most damaging mistake at this Jjuncture. “We are alone here, and I am mas- ter, remember,” he said meaningly. “Come, let's make up. Give me a kiss for my pains and—" “I have been alone here for a month with another man,” answered Enid Maitland who wus strangely unafraid in spite of this threat. “A gentleman, he has never so much as offered to touch my hand without my permis- slon; the contrast is quite to your dis- advantagq,” “Are you jealous of Louise Rosser?” asked Armstrong suddenly seeing that he was losing ground and casting about desperately to account for it, and to recover what was escaping him, “Why, that was nothing, a mere boy and girl affair,” he ran on with a spe- cious good humor as if it were all a trifie. “The woman was, 1 hate to 8ay it, just crazy in love with me, but I really never cared anything espe- clally for her; it was just a harmless sort of flirtation anyway. She after- ward married this man Newbold and that’s all there was about it.” The truth would not serve him and in his desperation and desire he stak- ed everything on this astounding lie. The woman he loved looked at him with her face as rigid as a mask, “You won't hold that against me will you?” pleaded the man, *[ told you that I'd been a man among men, Yes, among women, too, here in this and that I wasn't are lots of things of and I am, and the more | see you the more ashamed I grow, : loving any one else, all that I've « ver thought or fe't or oxper now is just nothing." And this indeed was tr ienced before and even 'T prejudice could realize and understand it. Qut of the same mouth, was said of old, proceeded blessing and cursing, and from these same lips came truth angd falsehood; but the power of the truth to influence this woman was as noth- ing to the power of falselood. She could never have loved him, ghe now knew; a better man had won her af- fections, a nobler being claimed her heart; but if he haq told the truth re- garding his relationship to Newbold's wife and then hag completed it with his passionate avowa) of his present love for her, she would have at least admired him anq respected him. “You have not told me the truth,” she answered directly; “you have de- liberately been fa y “Can’t you see, drawing nearer protested the man to ker, “how much I love you?" “ hat- o 3 i Oh, hi t; yes 1 fuppose that is tnxg; as 1 can love any one I will ¢ lo 1 “So f. be Story Who Drank of it and Cp‘nquqred A Romance )of\/C\o(or etier ts and v g""fl“@:@-’sywy i R e By WO Chapmmm Mo 27 but as for | Ty Cortain Porsons 4 Eead Rind,and thet9an,7 edener atioi; Efis&:?fi‘flouwg and promrt in his decisions.

We broke if off bold, out of pique I suppose, or what you will. I thought I was heart-brok- en at the time, it did hit me pretty " hard; it was five or six years ago; I was a youngster then, I am a man now. The woman has been dead lung since; there was some cock-and-bull story about her falling off a cliff and her husband being compelled to shoot her.

T will do | anyth be anything, to win you.” It w brilliuntly done; he had not told a single untruth; he had ad- { mitted much, but he had withheld the essentials after all. He was play- ing against desperate odds, he had no knowledge of how much she knew, or ( where she had learned anything. Ev- | ery one about the mining camp where she had lived had known of his love for Louise Rosser, but he had not sup- posed there was a single human soul who had been privy to its later devel- opments, and Le could not figure out any way by which Enid Maitland could fhavv learned by any possibility any | more of the story than he had told her. e had caleulated swiftly and with the utmost nicety, just how much ;‘ho should confess. He was a keen witted clever man and he was fighting for what he held most dear, but his eagerness and zeal, as they have oft- en done, overrode his judgment, and he made another mistake at this june- ture. His evil genius was at his el- bow. “You must remember,” he continued, “that you-have been alone here in these mountains with a man for over a month; the world— “What, what do you mean?” ex- claimed the girl, who indeed knew very well what he meant, but who would not admit the possibility. “It's not every man” he added, blindly rushing to his doom, ‘“that would care for you or want you—aft- er that.” He received a sudden and terrible enlightenment, “You coward,” she cried, with up- | raised hand, whether in protest or to strike him neitier ever knew, for at | that moment the door opened the sec- ond time that morning to admit an- other man. !
