accepted the test had she net been u

creased speed. In this way the girl
led him to follow her so long as any
strength remained to him, so that at
last wher he sank down beaten in tht
race, he was in danger of death from
exhaustion.
A number of young fellows had run
the race with her only to be tired out
while Bertha'S endurance seemed to
give her greater fleetness the longer
she ran. After one Of her pursuing
suitors had died Of heart failure the

"Yield to me and-death!" When the
baron drew his rapier the signal, the
runners started, Bertha stepping of

him to catch her unless she permitted.
Bertha led him here and there within
the prescribed inclosure, keeping but
short distance ahead of him and
turning often to look at him, not en-
ticingly. but as if to beg his forgiveness
for not permitting him to catch her.
Though Oswald was not permitted to
speak to her. lie pleaded With every
feature of his face for her to yield.
Then she would look at him reproa ch.

the same expression as before. as if to
say, "Be mine and-die.''
Bertha ran on, always leading Lef
lover by few rods, and it seemed that,
like her former suitors, he was sure in
the end to sink down exhausted. The
onlookers, more than ever convinced
that the girl was a witch, appealed to
the baron to put an end to the unequal
contest. And now they saw Oswald
draw his dagger, the hlt of which re
sembled a cross, and hold it up before
Bertha's eyes.
"Ies showing her the cross" said
the people. 'If she is a witch. she will
sink down at once
But Bertha only looked the more
melancholy out of her eyes, casting
them upward, as if in prayer. Then
Oswald pointed the dagger at his heart
eff she's a WITCH" the people said
now, "she'll throw a spell upon him to
make him drive it into his breast"
But Bertha, when she saw it was her

said Bertha in despair
"You have saved your life by your

BRIDE"
The baron was pleased both at the
devotion Of the girl for his son and at
that sons wisdom. Now that he was
satisfied that she was not a witch he
welcomed Bertha as a daughter and
proclaimed many days Of festivities for
the wedding. AS soon as it was con-
summated he turned over the care Of
his estates and the welfare of his
vast tenantry to Oswald, who, though
beloved before, was now adored by
them. Bertha spent her life in dis.
covering and ministering to their wants
and soon came to be as much beloved
as her husband. Many a person ac-
cused of witchcraft appealed to her.
and many one was saved by her in
terposition from a horrible death at the
stake. She at last came to be called
the Witch Angel.

GREAT CORK FORESTS.
Immense Tracts in Spain ana Portu.
gal Are Covered with the
Evergreen Oak

The cork forests of Spain cover an
area of 100000 square miles, produc-
ing the finest cork in the world. These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
belts of territory, those in the region
of Catalonia and part of Barcelona be-
ing considered the first in Importance.
Although the cork forests of Estre-
madura and Andalusia yield cork of
much quicker growth and possessing
ency is less rigid, and on this account
it does not enjoy the high reputati ton
which the cork of Catalonia does, says
the Boston Herald.
In Spain and Portugal where the
cork tree. or Quercas suber, is in
digenous, it attains to height vary
ing from So to 60 feet and the trunk
to a diameter of so to SO inches. This
species OF the evergreen oak is often
heavily caparisoned with widespread
ing branches, clothed with ovate OBJ
Long evergreen leaves, downy UNDER
meath and the leaves slightly serrat-
ed. Annually, between April and May
it produces a flower of a yellowish
color, succeeded by the acorns. Over
10000 square miles in Portugal are de-
voted to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain and
Portugal are virtually the same. The
barking operation is effected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength
to withstand the rough handling it
receives during this operation, which
takes place when it has attained the
fifteenth year of its growth. After the
first stripping the tree is left in this
juvenescent state to regenerate, sub
seqnent strippings being effected at
intervals of not less than three years,
and under this process the tree will
continue to thrive and bear for up
ward of $50 years.

CHAPTER XXXV.

For a long time after the detective
had gone Griswold paced the floor of
the small office, treading out the
winepress of humiliation and defeat,
and trying. as a man may under such
hard conditions, to decide upon a
course of action which should be
fair to all and decently fair for him
self.
For time it seemed impossible to
draw any thread of sane procedure
out of the revulsionary tangle i'll
which Charlotte's confession had in
volved him. He told himself bitterly
that she had failed him at the
crucial moment; that she had
stepped down from the pedestal of
the ideal to become woman of
flesh and blood, loving, condoning
and forgiving everything in the man
to whom she had given her heart.
But very quickly he was made to
see the injustice of this; to see first
that he had deliberately gone about
to build a wall of personality around
her judgment, and then, by his own
confession of love, to apply test
too severe for any loving woman to
withstand.
More than that, he saw that he
had played the hypocrite with her
even at the last moment. When he
had gone to her, nothing had been
farther from his thoughts than a
confession of his guilt The resolve
to tell her all had come suddenly,
and he had yielded to the impulse
on the spur of the moment. None
the less, he had let her believe that
it was we'll considered; that he had
determined beforehand upon the
course he had outlined in the brief
farewell.
Taking it all in all, he had an ex-
ceedingly bad half-hour after Griffin
left him, and out of the fiery fur
mace of it emerged man altogether
different from the hot-hearted
proletary who had robbed the Bayou
bank. He had stood alone against
the worlds condemnation in that
act, and had thought it defensible
from an impregnable position forti
fed by the rights of man. But now
he was made to see the act and its
sculpablity through the magnifying
glass of another's personality. He
had called it a social necessity, ant
no sin; and yet the direct conse
,quences of it had been to destroy
his ideal of uprightness to make {
pure, God-fearing woman his accom-
plice after the fact.
While Griswold was thus fighting
his way blindly out of the darkness
into the light, the net in which h.
had enmeshed himself was cut al
the point where it was the strong
est. When DR.. Farnham returned
from visit to the iron works neigh
borhood he found his daughter wait
ing for him at the gate.
''Please don't get out" she said
<T want you to take me over to the
hotel on the Point. Will you?"
The father cut the buggy and gave
her hand to climb up beside him.
"What's gone wrong, Lottie?-Any'
thing that I may know about?'
She shook her head. Not now
poppa dear; but must go"
She was silent and dry-eyed on the
short drive; and when it was ended
