view. His feelings toward Hamptoa
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 a iiteCt claim; he had lodged the
real issue, leaving the soldier in the
dark regarding his relationship to
Nadia, and erecting a barrier between
the other two. 1t was a masterpiece
Of defense, puzzling. Irritating, seem
ingly impossible. From the consid-
Grafton of 1t 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-
b~urn-hsired waif. He knew it now,
and never again could he doubt 1t. He
paused, half inclined to retrace his
steps and have the matter out. He
turned just in time to face a dazzling
vision Of fluffy lace and flossy hair
beside him in the dimly lighted hall.

exceedingly sorry that my duty has

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.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1908-04-17

Brant felt that the others display Of
Irritation gave him an unexpected ad-
vantage.
Nothing that need awaken anger,
I am sure. Something caused me to
harbor the suspicion, and I naturally
supposed you would know about 1t.
Indeed, l wondered II some such
knowledge might not account for your
very deep interest in keeping her so
entirely to yourself"
Hampton's fingers twitched in a
nervousness altogether unusual to the
man, yet when he spoke his voice was
like steel. Your suspicious are high
ly interesting, and your .cowardly in
situations base. However, 81 as I
suppose, your purpose is to. provoke
a quarrel, you will find me quite ready
to accommodate you" @
An instant they stood thus, eye to
eye. Suddenly Brant's memory veer-

smirched by any blow struck between
them, and he forced back the 3hasty

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 Nadia. Two men, at least, knew
sufficient of the past to serious
trouble. This effort by Slavin to hold
personal communication with the girl
was evidently made for some definite
purpose. Hampton decided to have q
face-to-face interview with the man
himself; he was accustomed to fight
his battles in the open, and to a finish.
A faint hope, which had been growing
