Jim turned and retraced his steps. Diana
did not move. Their eyes were fastened on
tlenry's face now flaming with passion. AL
olanas womanhood was battling within
nef; her face grew tense, her eyes like

She could say no more: she wished to es-
cape: Why didn't Jim speak? She could
hardly see him. An overw helming desire to
leave botn men before the sinking trembling
of her body should overpower the strength
of her will enabled her to reach the house.
The men were alone; both had watched
Dana gain the doorway. Neither seemed
capable of helping ner. Jim was the first to
move; he came towards Henry with a
quick, resolute step. Suddenly he became
conscious Of new knowledge that checked
his speech. He could only stare at Henry,
while the villa beating of his heart tor
mented him. Much had been revealed to
him regarding his feeling for Diana during
the past hour Henry was watching him
furtively.

For Diana and his aUnt's sake he must be
calm. 50 Jim only answered Il would not
insult you or Diana by Offering one'
The quiet scorn of Jim's apparent indif-
ference maddened Henry.
"Oh. tndeed!' He drew chair forward.
"Sit down and confront the truth" he said.
as he sat on the bench opposite. He was
trembling violently, Jim still maintained
his composure Henry's clinohed hand
struck the table as he sneeringly exclaimed!
You owe everything you are to me-"
With the bitter knowledge of how much
he had sacrificed for the family quick
came Jin's reply:
You mean everything l am not
