"Who is it?" persisted Lisle, who was
raging with modification and disappoint-
ment 'Can it be that the hero of the re-
jected addresses has found favor in your
eyes after alba great overgrown school
boy, who is weak enough to let himself be
robbed and plurdered by professed game
sters and designing promoters, and then
skulks off to hide himself in the wi1ds Of
California like other defeated desperadoes.

jected man who was unfit to be your pro-
tector"

generous impulse to do justice to the man

The tone in which she uttered these
words, the indescribable dignity and ten
derness of her air. of the slight gesture Of
the hand with which she emphasized her
speech-touched and silenced Lisle.
You are an extraordinary girl, y he said
at length; "and If Warning does not love

incredible. Well, if he does not, I do not
despair. You are worth winning. 1 will
