CHAPTER XVII.

Utterly worn out, | was just sinking
into a doing sleep, when | was reused
by the hateful tones of Mr.. Porter's
voice greeting his daughter, as she sat at
breakfast in my room. Another enemy
added to the number that encompassed
me.
He quickly turned to me and began.
in his usual hypocritical shuttle, Il hear
that it hath pleased Providence to put
you in a fair way of recovery. SO you
thought to get off, Master Silas, did
your he said, with a satyr-like leer up
on his face; 'but Judith has laid her
runaway husband safely by the heels
this time"
About II O'Clock that same morning
there came knock at the door. 1t was
the nurse there was a whispered con-
versation, and then Judith came up to
mel was sitting before the fire in an
easy chair-and said, quietly, Madame
Berne the woman whom l told you was
coming to-day, is here; remember your
promise. and l will remember mine"
In a few moments there came into
the room a tall, iron-looking woman.
Judith's father cringed, and fawned, and
leered, and snufiled. But Judith stood
with her hSnd resting upon the table,
cold and defiant, never deigning to her
visitor even a salutation.
And you are Silas Carston?" she
said, fixing upon me a strangely intense
look.
THAT is the name am known by" l
answered.
And is this woman your wife?" she
asked, pointing to Judith.
l paused for one moment. l could feel
Judiths fierce eyes were upon me; then
| answered quietly, "She is"
Madame Berne paused again, and
turned her cold glance upon her; it was
met by one as fearless as her own.
THE sum of $500 year is settled
upon you as an annuity" she said, again
turning to me as the door closed upon
Mr.. Porter. 1T will be paid you quar-
terly, on personal application by Messrs
Fogle & Quick. Your wife"-there was
a strange emphasis upon the word
communicated with me through those
lawyers; and as l was informed that you
were too i'll to attend at their office,
have come here to judge, as far as l am
able, whether you are the man you pre-
tend to be-"

speaking for the first time.
at will be useless if he has" answered
Madame Berne, freezingly; 'he will new
err know it."
AS she turned to leave the room, an
other figure appeared upon the scene
Montgomery was standing in the door
way. She started back, with a look
and gesture of loathing; but the next mo-
ment drew herself up, with the same
frigid, passionless look upon her face as
before
For a moment Montgomery stood look
ing at her with an exultant grin. "You
see, we have met again." he said. 1T
seems that you and l cannot help get
ting mixed up with one another. Your
protege has married a very old friend
of mine, Mile. Zenobia, clairvoyante, as
the bills used to say. Her father, too,
an old boon companion"
Then, suddenly changing his tone from
mockery to malignancy, he added, hiss,

swiftly out of the yards.
There was no operator at North
Fork and there was nothing to stop
for until Bingham Springs was reach
ed.
The freight engine was i'm excellent
condition and everything was favor
able for fast run. Bert Huffman,
now editor of the East Oregonian, was
fireman, and there were two brake
men on the train, who had not heard
of "Blinky" Morgan's record for swift
running. There were 55 freight cars
in the train and there were no slow
orders nor other obstacles in the way,
and so by the time Morgan reached
the first mile post out of Huron he
was going about As miles an hour.
Faster and faster the wheels turned,
the cars rocking and reeling around
the curves like drunken men. leaving
level streak of dust behind in the
canyon.
The caboose whipped around the
sharp curves like it was whip pepper
and the head brakeman who had seat
ed himself on top of the train about
10 cars from the engine, being una

the cars to the engine, to see If she
was running away.
North Fork, 10 miles away was
passed IL minutes after leaving HUI
ron, and now the long sweeping curves
and level stretches of track down
Meacham creek, between Bingham
and North Fork invited the engineer
to ''let her out" and he did.
Trees fitted past like skyrockets,
section crews stood aghast as the train
flashed around the curves, the whistle
screaming warning every mile and
the speed of the train was so great
that the dust 1t stirred up had not
time to raise until after the train had
whizzed around a curve half a mile
away.
All the coal in the tender was
shaken down into the gangway of the
engine, the water bucket on the en-
gine was blown off by the suction of
