 He tenderly bent and kissed her, thel rose to his feet and left the room, while :he girl buried her head in the pillows.
 Harrington stormed and threatened but Candless would not be moved, an( in the end word passed through tho rooms that the announcement that Candless would abandon the investiga tion was premature.

 "Yes," he said quietly, "even thougl it may be long wait I will keep my hands clean"
 Hugh" said Major Sharpless, enter ing through the curtains, "1 don't think you need to wait my boy. You have your triumph in being willing to fore go perferment for your duty. That is far greater triumph than the win nin9 of the senatorship. You may hay.
