II is but fair, then, that there should be

Lawrence Richmond knew, then. that
this man possessed a heart OF adamant

seemed drawn like parchment over his
bones. His teeth were clenehed as if set

The trap was an old relic of revolution

to make people mad first, and then keel
them in that condition.
'You are speaking of Nora warner
cried the girl, excitedly.
Eyes, am speaking of Nora warner
though how you came to know OF her
cannot conceive, since he would nevel
dare to whisper her name. She remained
an inmate OF that mad-house, God alone
knows how long. 1t may have beef
but months, though to her it seemed
years. Then she effected her escape
Mad rage filled her heart instead OF the
idolatrous love she had entertained FOL

she dealt him his death blow. At last
she has found him, after a long chase
through Europe, and it may be that IN
this quiet place the tragedy may be made
complete. Look at me, fair girl. am
but wreck OF my former self, but, such
as am. you gaze upon Nora Warner!
Carol shrank back as she saw the hat
removed and the shower Of curls descend,
for was she not gazing upon Rogers
wife, the woman who had held the posi-
ton she had hoped to occupy and who
had even suffered the torrents OF the
mad-house for love of that handsome
devil, who had been her evil genius.
She felt no loathing for her.
On the contrary, it seemed as though
some kindred spirit drew them together.
Both were victims of mans humanity,
and the fact knit the bonds Of sympathy
more firmly.

With rare tact the disguised girl saw
that poor heartbroken Carol wished to be
alone. that she might fad solace in tears
and with low. muttered words on her lips
against the arch-hend, Nora Warner with
drew.
What amazement and trcmulous Joy
would have filed Carols heart could she
have known that Nora Warmers words
were meant for another than the one she
loved but this was not TO be. Like

woman, she wept.

parent, else he would never have acted
toward her in the way he did.
She was wretched as any girl could be.
The days went by without any light
coming to her. and yet TO her there was
little or no difference In them, for when
hope and anticipation have utterly fled
out of the heart, II makes no difference
whether the sun rises or sets, for the
same dreary future lies beyond, which
cannot be lightened by any earthly means.
In spite Of all that had come TO her, she
loved Roger still.
To her, he had come as a knight In the
olden days OF chivalry, and he had wooed
and won her so gently, that when he had
gained her love IL was forever.
She believed in him so thoroughly that,
although he was now apparently lost to
her forever, she would hold him in rever-
ence until the day Of her death.
Such love as that was beyond all
price, and there are few men in this world
to whom is granted the privilege OF pos
sessing heart that nothing can alien
ate.
That deeper sorrow and distress were
In store for her. Carol had never mag
ined, and yet such was indeed the ease.
Although she believed that Roger had
a mad wife confined in n Mnatic asylum,
it had never entered her head that he
meant her wrong when he won her love.
She knew that he had fought against
it. and was sure that ne would have told
her OF Nora Warner at some day before
the end came. In his soul, she had
recognized true nobility, and il could not
be that this man would ever commit
crime.
When she thought IL all over in the
lonely days that came and went, without
bringing light to her soul. she comprc-
hcnded that Roger must look upon il all
in different light, and that his ideas
had become strange and misanthropical
was little wonder when his lonely life
was taken into consideration.
Perhaps he did not look upon this
woman as his wife. knowing that at any
time he could get a divorce from her, and
had been hoping that all would yet turn
ont well. while he allowed himself TO be
carried along by the resistless current Of
fate until the climax had come.
Carol looked at the matter in a far diff
ferent light
To her, divorce was something that she
thought Of with horror. and yet she knew
that the act was sanctioned in the olden
times by God. but all her life she had be-
lieved that II was not right for either
party 10 marry again during the lifetime
o. the other.
With such bleak future stretching
ont before her. ii is not 10 be wondered
a that Carol paid but little heed. to
affairs passing around her.
She saw that the captain came home
wounded. and it instantly entered heI
mind that he had been engaged in duel
with her lover. The thought filled hcI
with alarm. and she could not rest until
she had seen Roger riding on his horse,
and evidently unhurt.
This was Witnessed from the shelter %
the trees. for she would not have let him
sea her for the world. after what haf
passed between them.
