Without another word she went
from the room out into the snowstorm.
Joyce trembled in every limb. The
insult drove him wild. She knew that
he still loved her, and she called upon
that love to save Alroy even at the eX-
pense of honor. The outrage of it! AL

thing to do. Love and honor contend

Their could be no question as to which

The following day, the outrage-the
insult-gnawing at him, he went on
the one hundred mile journey. On the
morning of the twentieth he took oath
he would do his duty as a good and
loyal man in the matters to be placed
before the grand jury. In a few min
uteS more he was sitting, with twenty
three other men, around a long table,
listening to detectives and others testi-
flying against unseen people.
How many cases were disposed of
he hardly knew, when he heard the
name he had waited for. Joyce raised
bis head. Now would come his revenge
for all the pain he had silently suffer

"Oughtn't he to have the benefit Of

''Kather unfair to make his wish to

said the youngest juryman.
''And to blame him for his ambition

kind voice.
