Winslow's reasons for his failure to
see her-the story of his detention at ST.
Louis were a cheat-a lie. He had been,
instead, engaged in dishonorable tryst
with a girl whose fathers blood now
stained his hand. 1t was not alone that
she suffered through jealousy and
wounded pride; her faith in true and
loyal knight was shattered. She turned
sick and giddy as her idol fell.
The voice of Gonzaga recalled her;
she shrank from the pity in it.

There was a proprietary tenderness

Gonzaga followed, look of cruel sat
isfaction on his handsome face.
For some time they walked in silence
through the random street Of the set
Element, with the worm trail of the
fence on either hand. Ghostly and
quiet were the cabins, fragrant the jim
son weed everywhere, moist and cool
the kisses of the night wind.
Gradually her scattered senses re-
turned. Let us so back to the tav-
ern," she said Gerald may be there
by this time"
Her voice was steady, her manner self
possessed, and the man could not mock
her with sympathy, dared not press his
advantage.

William Austin, in 1911 a resident OF
Charlestown, Mass, was man of de-
termination, not easily Influenced. AS
an illustration of his firmness, says
Youths Companion, Mr.. T. 7. Sawyer,
in "Old Charlestown, tells the follow
ing story: Along High street there
stood at that time several remarkably
LARGE and fine elm trees. One of these,
the grandest of all, was in the middle
of the street, nearly in front of the Aus
tin mansion. There came time when
the selectmen of the town looked upon
it as an obstruction to travel, and by
vote directed the superintendent OF
streets to cut it down.
One pleasant morning, Capt. James
Deblois, who was then at the head of the
street department, appeared with MS
men, provided with axes to carry out the
order. Mr.. Austin, who had learned
what was to be done, had risen early and
taken position by the tree as its de-
fender.
81 understand" he remarked to Capt.
Deblois, that you are here with the in
tention of destroying this beautiful
tree"
THAT is So" replied the captain. Il
have a copy of the vote of the board OF
selectmen authorizing and directing me
to cut it down, and shall obey orders"
but you are not authorized, sir, " said
Mr.. Austin. "to chop off my legs. which

Squire Austin" said Capt. Deblo1s,
81 have great respect for you as man
and as lawyer. but you know you have
no right to place yourself in this posi-
ton, and if you persist you must take
the consequences"
"Ah. sir" said Mr.. Austin, 81 am pre-
pared for that. | shall defend the tree
and defend myself, and it is you who
must take the consequences If you adj
vance further in this wicked business.
And you have lived long enough in the
town with me. Capt. Deblois, to know
that l am in earnest"
While this was going on around the
tree, a remonstrance. which had been
signed by many citizens, reached the
chairman of the selectmen, who soon ap-
peared on the spot to stay proceedings;
and on his assurance that nothing fur
Their would be done until after hearing
of the remonstrance. Squire Austin left
his post at the tree and went in to late
| breakfast.
The old tree was not disturbed until
years afterward, but grew on, admired
and appreciated by all lovers of the
grand and beautiful in nature, con-
tinued Joy to its defender as long as he

of the trees until they scraped<the roos

the river fretted its foamredged way to
the sea. Tears trickled down the girls
cheeks as she stood thus alone in the
dark.
The Spaniard had gone to meet man
who approached from the farther edge
of the forest. 1t was Gerald, and to
Gonzaga now, his presence was most
undesirable. Explanation from her
brother would start questioning from
Lavender which must exonerate Wins
low. He must find way to prevent dis
cussion.
Out of the range of light Gonzaga
stopped Gerald, and spoke rapidly and
low. "Your sister knows of the en-
counter. but she does not know of your
mart in it, AS your friend, Mr.. Creigh-
ton, | have allowed her to be ignorant
of your connection with this affair. She
would be terribly shocked; is it not bet
ter to let her be deceived?'
Theyouth' face grew palerin the dark
ness. Then she has heard?"
"Only a part"
"And she thinks"
Certainly she does. Winslow was
there-Winslow was shot Winslow
was, therefore, the lover. A natural
supposition, is 1t not?"
The other drew himself up with dis
dain. at would be too dishonOrable,
senior. I cannot let an innocent man

But Gonzaga asked politely: "One
question: Did you kill this old man,
Miller?"

the patient in her last moments Of

When Lavender and the Spaniard
left the dance in search of Gerald, they
followed the road that led to the inn.
Where are we going?" Lavender de-

He will surely return to the party"
But Gonzaga insisted. 1T is only a
short walk to the Sign of the Bat,
and the night is heavenly"
But why should Gerald seek such
O place at this hour?"
Gonzaga coughed deprecatingly.
'He may have business with some of
the village folk, and your brother
knows where to find them. Besides,
the boat is there"
Ills argument prevailed, and Laven-
der walked at his side through the
breathless, fragrant night.
Half the distance passed, they were
startled by a woman's scream. They
could not guess whence it came, for no
other sound followed. Instln.tively
Lavender shrank back. The Spaniard
took advantage of her fright to put
one arm protectingly around her. but
che broke from him and hurried for

said; 'let us hurry" And he quick
ened his pace to hers.

CHAPTER XIV. CONTINUED.

Gerald" she moaned beneath her
breath, and she stroked his arm with a
pitiful little caress as If to assure her-
self that he, at least, was spared. Then
she knelt over her dead fathers body.
Winslow opened his eyes to see
motley crew-some bent on giving aid,
Others only seeking a fresh sensation.
For this furnished keen zest to the from
tiersman, because of its SAVIOR OF blood
and death.
With the pain of being lifted, Wipslow
swooned again, nor saw the sad little
procession which, taking the opposite
road, followed the dead man and his
child to the lonely cabin on the branch.
All unconscious of the journey on the
litter, and still half-delirious, Winslow
opened his eyes again. This time they
rested upon dull rafters above his head,
studying the antics of spider pendent
there. Then his urseeing eyes tray
eleI down the walls whore grotesque
shadows leaped in obedience to the flick
err of candles. A murmur of voices and
Lu6 CilCh vi SldSoCG lCdNhNb liz N0AS1 DNN
as echoes from a distance.
An impious voice proposed a toast:
Here's to the soul Of old Jabez Miller!
May he keep the fires all hot till we get
there!"
And this time the answering
shouts were louder to his slowly rous-
ing senses. He heard the gentle re-
monstrance: Hush! if you can't let
the dead rest in peace, you might have
q care for the living"
There was a moments sileI ce-but
for moment only. What was there
to be solemn about in the death of this
old man, The sour-visaged hunchback
who drank many bottle, but never
asked thelr company? And this wound
ed stranger-who was he, that they
should keep silence for him? A knife
wound more or less, a stab in the dark
what did it matter? So the royster-
ing crew drank ana made merry while
to the sick man, on his bed of boughs in
the farthest corner, their shouts were
faint and far echoes, bringing strug-
Cling reason home.
~ step crossed the room, and some
body bent over him. He could dimly
see the outline of woman, 1.-THE and
slender. That her hair was inky black,
instead of bronze; her eyes jet, in
stead of purple-blue, he did not see. To
his wavering vision the octoroon's face,
dark with the warm olive of the south,
shone white and pure. He had been
dreaming of his love, of Lavender, and
now she was here! One weak hand
stole upwards, until 1t touched hers. His
eyes glowed with the light of fever and
passion. The unconscious action was a
revelation of all his smouldering, secret
ly cherished love. And the woman
bending over him, saw and understood;
In his delirium he mistook her for an
other, for the fair white girl his heart
desired. She would let him think so
let him believe it was she who min
istered. So she smoothed his hair and
bathed his temples, moistening the hot
lips that murmured her name.
