Sim, did not hesitate to reveal to him
the whole story. She SO thoroughly de-
spised Louisa, for the simple reason
that Sim loved her. that she was only
too anxious to avail herself OF such a
propitious opportunity to injure her.
Then Sim. the cruel wretch, had coolly
scorned her love and Inundated her
thereby In a manner that would be
CALLING to the heart OF any woman, and
she was not sorry that IL had fallen in
her way to be able to make him vince.
for once In his life. under the sting of
the cruelest knowledge that ever falls
to man.
She did not stop to consider what
might be the result OF her act. Med
dlers never do. The after consequences
or gossip are something with which they
are not concerned and OF which they
take no thought. 1t was So in this in
stance at least, with Mary Mann. 1t
never once occurred to her TO what Sc
rious lengths her act might lead. but
1t is doubtful whether she would have
been able to control her tongue even IL
she had known.
1t was only after an impatient delay
OF two or three days that she secured
an opportunity OF speaking with Sim.
Then she proceeded to pour into his
ears the whole story as Sam Morgan
had told IL at the store. Sim listened
quietly until she had finished. after
which he calmly said:
That is an you have to say, Is it?''
"All~ she exclaimed wonderin1ly
MY land, amt 1t enough?"
rs that alp he repeated, with quiet
frmness
at is, she replied.
Now do you want to hear what I
have TO say?" he asked.
Her heart gave q little joyful bound
and thrill of pleasure ran through
her. Sim spoke so quietly, so calmly.
that she was sure he was not hurt by
what she had told him, and in the
space of half a minute she had reason
ed ii out that IL failed to hurt him be-
|, cause he no longer cared for his wife
and took no interest In anything she
did. She felt assured that what he had
to say would prove to be a remuneration
or Louisa, and certainly nothing he
could say would be more acceptable to
her. except 1t were n declaration Of
love for herself So softly and demure-
ly she replied:

Then listen," ne said Every word

all her newly formed hopes and opened

appointment. she stared at Sim for a
fun minute In painful silence.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE SECRET OUT.


1t is difficult for two people to keep q
secret, much less half dozen.
When Pap Sampson advised the men
at Hicks store that night that it would
be best for no one to mention to Sim
Banks a word about the meeting be-
tween Melvin and Louisa, they all
agreed with him, and each of them
promised not only the others, but him
self as well, that he'd abide by that ad-
vice, and every man there kept that
promise most sacredly.
Yet, for all that, the information they
were guarding from Sim reached him
in the course OF time, as they might
have foreseen that IL would.
Sam Morgan in an unguarded mo-
ment told his wife all about 1t, but
was careful to caution her to mention
1t TO no one. She carried the secret
safely In her bosom for a day or two;
then, finding IL too much OF burden
to any longer bear alone. concluded to
share II with her very nearest and
dearest friend. Mrs. Mann, not forget
ting to caution her against breathing q
word OF 1t 10 another living soul.
Mrs. Mann, less scrupulous than her

her, and the paleness OF disappoint-
ment on her face slowly gave way to
the hush OF anger. II she could love
with passion that but few women
know, she could hate equally well.
Fixing her eyes on Sim. with such an
expression OF deadly hatred as he had
never seen in any human eyes before.
she said:
Sim Banks, you are a fool, a poor.

Ordinarily Sim would have been as
tonished at this sudden and vehement
outburst, but at that moment he was
not in state of mind to be astonished
at anything. With wan, weary smile.
he said:

A flash OF anger swept over Sim.

spirit, what l do is my own business.
IN as long as don't step on your corns

make about 1t, you better go on to

You're SIGH. q sot an determined

ever, after a little hesitation he an
swered.
"Yes. II Sam Morgan was to tell me
anything for a Bible truth. I'd blieve

Even II IL was them words | smoke

Sims face blanched to a deadly
Wilderness, and dreadful trembling
seized him. II Sam Morgan said those
things, he couldn't doubt them. and I'm
spite OF himself, in spite OF all his ear
nest desires. he would have to believe
all Mary Mann had told him. Ii was
hard, however, to relinquish the last
vestige OF the fond faith he had in his
wife, and, beaten back to the last
ditch, he made a final stand in her de-
Tense.
Sam Morgan won't say no SIGH
words!' he cried in tones half pleading,
half defiant Sam Morgan won't new

He WILL" Mrs. Mann persisted, with
unrelenting cruelty. HE has said 'em
already, an he'll say 'em ag'in."
Il don't believe Ii. Sam won't lie"
"Sam won't lie, but he'll say them
words"
"How do you know he willT"
cause he has already said 'em, an
he won't never take back his words.
1t was him that seen the meetin be-
tween Loueesy an Melvin, an it was
him that heard them two talkin love.
II you WANT a fool, Sim Banks, q
plumb, senseless idiot, you'd know

Loueesy loves that man. My Lord,

Sim shook his head.

he repeated. 'Loueesy wouldn't never
do no sich thing"

If she was to tell you so herself"
"She amt never a-goin to tell me
So"
81 guess not She'd be a fool if she
did. What she'll do will be to deny it.
A wife amt likely to stan up an tell
some man she loves him, then go an

"She never told that man that an
you'll never make me b'lieve she did"

pairing TO deal harder blow. AS she
stood with her eyes fixed on Sim she
marveled al the change that had come
over her. She thought of how dearly
she had once loved that man and of
how thoroughly she now despised him,
or how once she had longed to make
him happy and of how now she delight
ed in making him suffer or a truth
hell has no fury like that of a woman
scorned." Truer words were never ut
tered, nor ever was there woman to
whom they more perfectly applied than
they did to Mary Mann.
Calmly, far more calmly, than she
felt, she said:
Il reckon you know Sam Morgan,
Sim?'
Sim glanced up in surprise

claimed. Land, what a question to
