RISK OF compromising her.
Jane would have gone, though, had
she known thatta her fair name would
60 with her. She was right, you see,
when she told me while riding over to
Windsor that should Mary's love BIOS
SOM into a full blown passion she
would wreck everything and every
body, including herself perhaps, to at
tain the object Of so great a desire.
It looked now as If she were on the
highroad to that end. Nothing short
OF chains and letters could have kept
her from going to Brandon that even
ing. There was an inherent force about
her that was irresistible and swept
everything before it.
In our garnet she was to meet anoth-
er will, stronger and infinitely better
controlled than her own, and did not
know how it would all turn out.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-07-29
"N0W you knOaU"-

leave him to die like dog, when a
word from you would have saved him,
what reason have to suppose they are
not for every man"
This gave Mary an opening Of which
she was quick enough to take advan-
tage, for Brandon was in the wrong.
''You know that is not true. You are
not honest with me nor with yourself,
and that is not like you. You know that
no other man ever had, or could have,
any favor from me, even the slightest.
Wantonness is not among my thousand
faults. 1t is not that which angers
you. You are sure enough of me in that
respect. In truth, had almost come
to believe you were too sure, that had
grown cheap in your eyes, and you did
not care so much as I thought and
hoped for what 1 had to give, for after
that day you came not near me at all.
know it was the part Of wisdom and
prudence that you should remain away,
but had you cared as much as your
prudence would not have held you"
She hung her head moment in ST.
lence, then, looking at him. almost
ready for tears, continued: "a man has
no right to speak in that way Of wo-
man whose little favors he has taken.
and make her regret that she has given
gift only that it may recoil upon her.,
Little did l say? Sir, do you know
what that-frst-kiss was to me-? Had
I possessed all the crowns of all the
earth 1 would have given them to. you
as willingly. Now you know the value
I placed on It. however worthless it

MY0 HAD not been long in the room
l8t j when knock at the door an
66FS0y nounced the girls. I admitted
gs&S them, and Mary walked to
the middle Of the floor. It was just
growing dark, and the room was quite
dim, save at the window where Bran
don sat reading. Gods, those were ex-
citing moments! My heart beat like a
woman's. Brandon saw the girls when
