that day. however, the final issue OF his
whole scheme advanced upon him at one
stride, For James Elsey to come while
his sister was living, creating all the stir
of such an arrival with its preparations Tor
the routine of their new life, was one
thng-and seemed progress quite last
enough for the steady-moving spirit OF a
man like Dempton. just because he was
so deliberate, it came as near rs anything
could TO take his breath away, that things
suddenly assumed a shape 50 imminent.
What effect would his sisters death have
upon Elsey? Would he still be inclined to
remain ? Would he not attract more OBJ
servers into their little circle than Demp-
ton cared to have? Obviously there was
less margin for opportunities than the lat
ter had counted on. There was necessl-
ty to do promptly whatever he decided on
doing.
And why should he not be prompt? II
he seriously held to his purpose, why de
Law to carry it out? Why not grasp the
opportunity so suddenly within his reach,
and that might not remain there
For this once only, he looked in the face
that truth which his wifes. words, aided
by the impression of her death, brought
before his mind-only long enough fairly
to see it., and make his rejection OF its
promptings, deliberate and wlIllul
Should he and Elsey meet and mingle con-
dolences as the afflicted widower and the
sorrowing brother. and he himself take his
chances for lettering his condition that
way? Where everything had so uneX-
pectcdly proved favorable to his purpose.
should he give it up because OF what had
happened on that day?
A coarse ruiliau would have broken ont
into an oath. and sworn to have his own
way in defiance of heaven and hell.
William Dempton only paused in his walk
up and down that path which his wife had
last trod between the house and the river
and raising both hands tightly clenched
above his head, as though ho were about
to deal double blow, brought them for
chilly down again by his side. 1t was the
only sign of emotion that escaped him
except the measured heavy tread which,
like his slow, determined utterance, had
always been noted by his wife as indicat
ng the immobilty of his spirit.
The die had been cast-Satan had Won
