suppose. your purpose is to provoke

to accommodate you"
An instant they stood thus, eye to
eye. Suddenly Brant's memory veer-
ed to the girl whose name would be
smirched by any blow struck between
them, and he forced back the hasty
retort burning upon his lips.
You may be, Mr.. Hampton" he
said, standing like statue, his back
to the door, but l am not. As you
say, fighting is my trade, yet have
never sought personal quarrel. Nor
is there any cause here, as my only

Hampton ignored the question.

exceedingly sorry that my duty has

Some time, however, you will sincere

you escaped so easily. 1 knew your
father once, and l should like now
to part on friendly relations with his

He held out his hand, and scarcely
knowing why he did so, Brant placed
his own within its grasp, and as the
eyes OF the two men met, there was a
consciousness of sympathy between
them.

He walked to the door, flung 1t
swiftly and silently open. and step
ming within, closed it behind him with
his left hand. In the other glittered
the steel-blue barrel of drawn revol-
YER.
"Slavin, sit down."
The terse, imperative words seemed
fairly to cut the air, and the red
bearded gambler, who had half risen
to his feet, an oath upon his lips. sank
back into his seat. staring at the ap-
partition confronting him as if fasci-
mated. -.

CHAPTER XIX.

The Door Opens, and Closes Again.
In one sense Hampton had greatly
enjoyed Miss Spencer's call. Her
bright. fresh face. her impulsive
speech, her unquestioned beauty. had
had their effect upon him. changing
for the time being the gloomy trend
of his thoughts.
But gradually the slight smile Of
amusement faded from his eyes.
Something, which he had supposed
lay securely hidden behind years and
distance, had all at once come back
to haunt him-the unhappy ghost Of
an expiated crime, to do evil to this
girl MAZDA. Two men, at least. knew
sufficient Of the past to cause serious
trouble. This effort by Slavin to hold
personal communication with the girl
was evidently made for some definite
purpose. Hampton decided to have
face-to.face interview with the man
himself; he was accustomed to fight
his battles in the open, and to finish.
A faint hope. which had been growing
DINNER and DINNER with every pass
ing year, began to flicker once again
within his heart. He desired to see
this man Murphy, and to learn exactly
what he knew.
He entered the almost deserted sa-
loon opposite the hotel. across the
threshold Of which he had not stepped
for two years, and the man behind the
bar glanced up apprehensively.
Red Slavin?" he said. We'll. now,
see here, Hampton, we don't want no

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Slight Interruption.

The young officer passed slowly
down the dark staircase, his mind still
bewildered by the result of the inter.
view. His feelings toward Hampton
had been materially changed. He
found it impossible to nurse a dislike
which seemingly had no real cause for
existence.
Yet Brant was far from being salts.
fed. Hampton had not even advanc-
ed direct claim; he had lodged the
real issue, leaving the soldier in the
dark regarding his relationship to
Nadia, and erecting barrier between
the other two. 1t was a masterpiece
of defense, puzzling, irritating, seem.
ingly impossible. From the consid-
GRAFTON of it all, Brant emerged with
but one thought clearly defined-who-
ever she might prove to be, whatever
was her present connection with
Hampton, he loved this dark-eyed, au-
burn-haired waif. He knew it now.
and never again could he doubt it. He
paused, half inclined to retrace his
steps and have the matter out. He
turned just in time to face dazzling
vision of fluffy lace and flossy hair
beside him in the dimly lighted hail.
"Oh, Lieutenant Brant!" and the
vision chung to his arm tenderly. 1T
is such a relief to find that you are
unhurt. Did-did you kill him."
Brant stared. Il fear l scarcely

you mean?"
"Oh, am so glad; and Nadia will
be, too. must go right back and tell
the poor girl, for she is nearly dis
tracted. Oh, Lieutenant, isn't it the
most romantic situation that ever
was? And he is such mysterious
character!"
ITO whom do you refer? Really,

"Why, Mr.. Hampton, Of course. Oh,
I know all about it, Nadia felt so bad.
~ over your meeting this morning
that just compelled her to confide
her whole story to me. And didn't
you fight at all?"
Most assuredly not" and Brant's
eyes began to exhibit amusement; I'm

Il told Nadia thought you would.
People don't take such things so seri-
ously nowadays, do they? But Nadia
is such child and so full of romantic
notions, that she worried terribly
about it. Isn't it perfectly delightful
what he is going to do for herr"
Il am sure do not know"
why, hadn't you heard? He wants
to send her east to boarding school
and give her fine education. Do you

to see him? he is such a perfectly
splendid western character.

cooily, Ito inform me, from your calm
eminence of responsibility, that I was

innocent person, and to warn me that
you were prepared to act as her pro-

Brant slightly inclined his head.
