she care il her own heart was right?
And she would give IL all away and
help everybody. all in his name. And
vet, marriage was such a sacred thing.
So poor Barbara tossed and turned and
reasoned and changed her mind. and
the upshot OF it all was that there was
c very solemn and quiet marriage cere-
mony, and at its close the pale, sweet
faced bride was Mrs. West.
Mr.. Lippincott consented-he loved
this adopted son sincerely-and. indeed.
he never had refused any request of
his idol, barbara So the days went on.
Happiness seemed to revive Kings
waning strength for a time. and then he
grew slowly worse. Suddenly upon the
scene came most important actor. 4
college friend of Kings. whose friend
ship was OF that ardor almost lover
like in its intensity. He had heard late
~ of his friends condition. and had
come 10 urge upon him an Arabian rem
coy which had been given him by an
uncle, whose life had been passed in
the Orient. y native, whose life he had
saved, had presented il TO him.
With no faith, but partly TO please
his friend, partly because dying man
catches ut any straw which will pre-
serve life, King followed the prescrip-
tion and treatment, and, to everyone's
amazement, he improved, and, after
many weeks, was restored to his old
vigor. OF course, few gave credit to this
remedy; few knew OF il; but, whatever
j; was, the young man recovered.
And then to Barbara came the shock
of finding that the restored life of her
old friend meant bondage TO her. Was
she murderess Mt heart? oh. no, no!
But if she had only stood firm and never
yielded to Kings entreaties. The very
fact that she was bound to him made
her turn from him. These conflicting
feelings told upon her health and
spirits. And then, one day, her hus-
band came IN, holding a letter. lie
went straight to her, and taking her
bands in his, said:
barbara, don't think that | have
been blind. Do you think that would
hold you to your word now? | am
ordered to China at once. After d
proper absence, you can apply for and

Barbara burst into tears rs he went

his own pain.
She had n horror Of divorce. Let
them he separated for awhile, anyway

King went Off on his three years
cruise, then on another TO Australia
Mr.. Lippmcott finally took Barbara
abroad. 1t was then, and while fai
away in Australia, that King received
