"Oh, don't!" was all she said, but
after that she sat as one suddenly
turned to stone.
He did not speak until she gave
him leave, and then he rose and
stood beside her.
Il came here tonight to tell you
this, Charlotte; to tell you that 1
love you, and-and to bid you good
by; l know very well what 1 have
done; that I have removed myself
as far from you as if we lived on
separate planets. But 1 had to tell
you"
She looked up at him, and he could
see that the glorious eyes were brim-
ming.
"Once-on the boat, you remem-
ber-you said you could defend your
SELF" she faltered. ''Can you do it
yet?'
THAT defense still stands for what
it is wOrth-to me. But 1 know what
you think about it-what you must
think. So 1 have come to say good
by"
She slipped quietly out of the ham
mock and stood before him in all
her beauty.
"You are keeping something back, -
she said. "Tell me what it is that
you are going to do?"

train for New Orleans-to give my
self up
''Oh, no, MOI" she cried; and her
arms went about his neck as if that
were the only way to hold him. ooh,
you mustn't, Kenneth, for II love
you"
He drew her closer and kissed her
twice, thrice. Then he put her from
him gently and groaned in the bit
terness of it.
"NOw God forgive me, my darling,
for 1 have slain my love! 1 under
stand now; went down into the pit
of sin that morning, and now 1 have
dragged you in after me. Good-by,
Charlotte. When am gone you

spise me as I deserve" And with
that he was gone.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

1t was seven o'clock when GriswoId
had finally fought his way out of the
turmoil of conflicting doubts and dis
fractions, and had come to some
definite conclusion touching his duty
In the light of a possible miscon-
struction of his words by Margery
there was nothing for it but to go
to her and have the doubt cleared
away before he should speak to Char
Iotte. So much honor demanded; and
GriswOld was not the man to shirk
where honor was involved.
But when he was closing Mrs Hol-
combs front door behind him, the
Grierson foOtman opened the gate
and came up the walk with a note
GriswOld stepped within to read it
by the hall light. 1t was from Mar
gerry, and while he could not help
smiling at the courageous naivete of
IT, it freed him suddenly from the
burden of doubt.
You may think what you please of me-"
she wrote, but you are my one real friend
IN all the world. You know what no one
else this side of Colorado knows about my
past; honestly, 1 told you the worst of it,;
out there is one other who should know
VINO must know. And, OH I can't ever tell
MIN! Won't you please do it for me? You
heeon spare me in the least you know"
'MARGERY."
Grlswold ran up to his room, pen
clied his answer on the back of her
note, reenclosing it in fresh envel-
ope, and FASTENED down to give it
10 the waiting footman. Then he
walked quickly to the drug store at
the corner and called up the iron
works by telephone. Luckily Raymer
was there.
Going to stay little while, Ned?"
he asked.
The answer was in the affirmative,
and Griswold added but a word: "All
right, I'm coming over"
Fifteen minutes later Griswold
dropped from car at the railway
crossing and made his way to the
once o. the iron works. Raymer was
there, elbow-deep in his correspond
enee, but he swept the pile of letters
aside when his partner entered.
Good for you-come down to help
me out, have you?" he said, but Girls

behind him, lodging from tree to
tree and shadow to shadow, another
man who was evidently following the
stumbler.
The doctor drove on, thinking he
must have been mistaken as to the
drunken mans identity. But he was
not. 1t was Griswold; and when he
reached the office of the iron works
he let himself in and turned on the
incandescent light, did this and
wheeled quickly to confront his pur-
suer on the threshold of the open
doog.
For a feeting half-second Girls
void was startled, as anyone might
be. Then he saw that the incomer
was Griffin. So he greeted him
guardedly and waited to know what
the late visit purported.
Griffin seemed in no hurry to ex-
plain. On the contrary, he closed the
door carefully behind him, swapping
the catch of the night-latch as he did
it, though this Griswold did not
know. Next he drew down the win
dow shade and, wheeling out the
chair from Griswold's desk, sat down
to clip the end from a very large CT
gar.
Griswold had watched his move
ments, first in wonder and then with
chill frost of despair slowly freez-
ing him. For one brief instant he
glanced aside at the rifle hanging
upon the wall, but he quickly looked
away from it. and. to be the farther
from temptation, dropped into Ray
mer's pivot-chair and covered his
face with his hands. 1t had come.
81 guess you know what I'm here
for" said the detective, finally, when
the big cigar was well alight.
Griswold nodded.
Griffin smoked stolidly for a full
minute before he added: "I've had
a devil of time finding you; never
should have found you if you hadn't
gone off your head and got girl
crazy"
This time Griswold mace no sign.
Once again his eyes were marking
the exact distance of the rife on the
wall. A silence surcharged with the
electricity of possibilities settled
down upon the cramped little room;
and when it became unbearable the
detective broke it.
where's the swag?" he asked,
briefly.
Then Griswold spoke for the first
time. Its here in this plant; the
greater part of it.

The detective rose and found his
hat Il don't know" he said. "Them
little things have bothered me, some
times Good evening, Mr.. Galbraith."
And with that he left the closed
room and the hotel and took his way
downward, walking slowly, but
steadily, as a man who has made up
his mind to do a thing of moment,
taking the consequence as a man
may.
As for the banker, he threw away
the extinct cigar-a bit of wasteful-
ness so inharmOnious with his char
acter as to be in itself a mark of I'M
usual perturbatiOn-and went out to
see if dinner were ready. 1t was not;
and so he strOlled on to the veranda,
reaching it just as DR.. Farnham was
handing himself into a buggy with
young lady. Andrew Galbraith looked
again, and recognized in the young
woman who was holding the reins
one of his late rescuers. Whereupon
he descended the steps to speak to
her. Since the doctor was the house
physician, the banker had met him;
but this was his first intimation that
GriswOld's companion was Miss Farm
ham.
Thereupon followed the introduc-
ton in due form, with encomium
enough on the part of the rescued
one to make Charlotte blush, and the
good doctors eyes to grow conspic-
uously dim with fatherly pride.
1--WE must know more of you, Mr.
Galbraith," he said, Hospitality. Can
you save us tomorrow evening, and
come to a quiet little family dinner?"
Andrew Galbraith said he would be
delighted, and so they parted.
But many things were scheduled to
come between the invitation and the
quiet little family dinner at Lake
Lodge.

why the devil don't you say some
thing?'
Griswold spread his hands. There
is nothing to say-nothing that J
think of. You have run me down.
and that's the end of it," But he
glanced once more at the rifle.
Griffin smiled. "The gun sort .
tempts you, doesn't it? You're won

jump quick enough to get the drop
on me. GU can do it if you want
to. 1 left my arsenal at the hotel
and came here bare-handed."
Griswold's eyes began to grow
steely. Pardon me, but that was a
very foolish thing to do, Mr.. Griffin"
Reckon SOP"
Every foolish. You lose sight of the
cost of this thing which you are here
to do; the cost, not to me, but tc,

Griffin smiled again. Hundred

likely to be costly for somebody"

that time is in the past. The money

help me to decide a point-you've
had a good bit of experience, take
it. If professional highwaymHn
had robbed Mr.. Galbraith last spring,
would any considerable portion of

recoverable now?"
The detective gave an ex parte
opinion. "Most likely not. It's easy
come, easy go, with that lot"
Precisely. Then I'll make you
proposal. Leave the recovery of the
money out of the question, and I'll
go with you peaceably and plead

catapult on the detective
The struggle was short and sharp,
and the battle was not to the strong.
Griswold was the heavier man, and
he had the strength of despair to
help him; but the detective was
1.-the and wiry and able to match
strength with a willy cunning born
of many a fierce encounter with des-
perate men. Back and forth in the
cramped office they reeled, locked In
a death grip and swaying and stun1-
bling as one man. But at the end
of it Griffin broke his antagonists
hold, and there was a heavy fan,
with the detective uppermost.
"Had enOugh?" he asked; and
when Griswold gave over he rose and
helped the beaten one to his feet.
GriswOld set his teeth and held
out his wrists for the manacles.
Griffin swore grufly and dashed the
blood out of his eye. He had struck
the corner of the desk in falling and
