You cannot stir my feelings with solitary

Jonathan Turner and his wife were

But In Sans case there was. an inter-

CHAPTER XVII.
MAKING AMENDS.


Sim Banks walled slowly homeward.
Since leaving Sam Morgan he had
grown calm, very, very calm, but his
heart was as heavy as lead. His was
the calmness of hopeless despair and
complete resignation.
II see my duty" he repeated over
and over, ian I'll do 1t If 1t kills me-"
His face was white, but there was a
firm, set expression there which show
ed that his mind was made up to pur-
pose and that there would be no wa
vering in fulfilling it. Like his class in
general, he was slow to see his duty,
but once having seen 1t there was no
Sinking 1t and no falterlng in its dis
charge.
He believed all Sam Morgan had told
him. In view Of all he knew he had
no shadow of reason for doubling. 1t
was true. every word of 1t. Yet before
he acted he would hear it from Lou
isa's own lips. He even hoped-hoped
against hope-that she might in some
way satisfactorily explain it ALL What
ever she said he would believe. He
would take her word against all the
world.
When he reached home, he went di-
rectly to her. He noticed that she
looked more sad and worn than he had
ever seen her. and feeling of pity
and compassion stirred his heart to the
very bottom. In his synlpathies his
own sufferings held the second place.
His wife's were first.
Even as he stood before her he hesi-
tated to speak. but not for long. Duty
with him was duty, and 1t must be
DONE no matter how bitter the cost.
With quiet firmness that was sur
prislng under the circumstances he
spoke.
"Loueesy." he said. I'D rather be
dead this minute than to speak the
words I've got to say. but feel it's my
duty to speak. so TINT once an for all
we may understand each other"
He paused u moment. and she glanc-
ed up inquiringly, then again bent her
head over her work.
"Do you know. Loueesy." he went
vi, Wuut uA peoplc uie SuylA uDoul
you an Melvin?"
She shook her head, and he saw the
color creep into her face.
''l'hey are tellin that you met that
manin the woods out thar an that you
|-Loueesy. It's hard to say the rest,
cruel hard, but It's best to say it. They
say you told that man you loved him.
1t was out. all out, and he waited fol-
her to speak. But he waited in vain
Her head bent lower over her worli
and her whole form seemed to droop
but she remained silent.
"Is 1t true, Loueesy?" he asked after
awhile, his voice strangely gentle ant
tender. 'Tell me. is it all true. rs the.
