CHAPTER XII.
THE HEART OF A WOMAN.

A week after GastOn's inn
prlsonment Sallie Worth arrived
IN New York from her last trip
abroad. She had cut her trip
short and cabled her father of
her return.
She was in an agony of sus-
pense and uncertainty about her
lover. Gaston's letters had failed
to reach her for a month by
reason of the war which had
demoralized the mail service.
Her own letters has failed to
reach Castor for similar
reason.
The General FASTENED to New
York to meet his wife and
daughter and persuade Sa11ie to
remain in the north until De-
cember. He was hopeful now
that her long absence and Gas
toms absorption in politics, his
bitter opposition to him person
ally, and the cloud under which
he rested in prison, would be the
final forces that would give him
the victory in the long conflict he
had waged for the mastery of
his daughters heart.
Before informing Sa1lie of the
stirring events at independence
and the part Castor had taken in
them, or allowing her to learn of
his imprisonment, the General
sought to find the exact state of
her mind.
I trust, Sallie," he began,
you are recovering from your
lnfatuation for this man. You
know how dearly I love you. l
have never taken a step in life
since l looked into your baby
face that wasn't for you and
your happiness"
She only looked at him visit
fully and her eyes seemed to be
dreaming.
Il want you to have some
pride. Castor has attempted to
kick me out of the councils of
the party, and become the die
tator of the state. His course is
one of violence and radica1ism.
L regard him as a dangerous
man, and [ want you to have
nothing to do with him."
She was gravely silent.
DO you believe he has been
faithfully dreaming of you in
your absence?" asked the Gen
eral."
Yes, l do"
Then let me disabuse your
mind. 1t is not the way of
strong men. He is absolutely
absorbed in a desperate political
struggle in which his personal
ambitions are first. l have seen
him paying the most devoted at
tentions to the daughter of our
rival down ea3,, whose influences
he wants, and it is rumored
among his friends that hehas
proposed to her."
Who told you that?" she ask
ed lmpetuously.
L had it first from Allan, but
I've heard it since from Others"
i do not believe a word of it,"
she declared.
That's because you're wom-
an and hold such silly ideas. l
tell you, he wants you only be-
cause he knows you are rich,
and he wishes to brow-beat me.
Such a man will try to whip you
before you have been his wife
five years. l know that kind of
man. Why can't you trust nv
Judgment"
I had rather trust my hearts
intuitions, Papa. I cannot be
deceived in such a question"
