 Ilma rose from her knees. AS she stcod erect before her would-bc murderer facing the narrow easement, the moon broke out suddenly from behind bank of clcuds aud shot broad shaft Of light Into the drcary loft, shedding pale glory upon the marble features aud the gleaming geldsn hair.
 "I will die with himv said the girl.
 There was silence. The two--murderee and victini--secmed scarcely to breathe.

 But Roland beard nothing. He knew not why that greater radiance hashed Into the lifted face, why the small hands were clasped over the throbbing heart. He turned-his cheeks were bioodlcss and his eyes wild and glassy.
