Dick turned and walked slowly
toward the gate which led to the
kitchen-garden, a part of every ranch
home in Arizona. 1t was cut off from
the house by a struggling hedge, on
which Echo had spent many hours
trying to keep 1t In shape.
Jack hesitated about going into the
house. Even If Echo married him, he
knew that she would never forgive him
when she learned of his dastardly con-
duct from Dick Lanes W mouth. 1t
was better to sacrifice the life Of one
to save three lives from being ruined.
jack followed Lane UP, partly draw
ing his gun. 1t would be so easy to
shoot him. No n would recognize
Dick Lane In that crippled figure.
Jacks friends would believe him II he
told them the stranger had drawn on
him, and he had to shoot him In self
defense.
Then the thought of how dastardly
was the act OF shooting a man in the
back. and he his trusting friend, smote
him suddenly. and he replaced the
pistol In its holster. "It Is worse than
the murder Of Ole Man Terrill." he
muttered.

Fate would have 1t that she would not

letter sent directly to her might have
prevented much unhappiness and many

happiness had returned, did Jack
realize that his one great mistake was
made by not telling Echo of Dicks
rescue.
Both Dick and Echo might have had
a change of heart when they met
! again. Echo was young. Dick had
wandered far. Both had lost touch
with common interests. Jack Payson
had entered her life as a factor. He
was eager and impetuous; Dick was
settled and world-worn by hardship
and much physical suffering. Now
Jack was at the altar racked with men
tai torture, while Dick waited In the
garden for his traitorous friend. The
innocent cause OF the tragedy was
sweetly and calmly replying TO the
questions of the marriage ritual, while
Jack was looking. as Allen said'to him
self, "darned squeamish."
According to these words, it Is the
will of God that nothing shall sever
the marriage bond" were the words
that fell upon Aliens ears as he
stopped to look In the window at the
wedding party.

must be known only TO the three men.
Look here, Dick" he commanded.
"You mustn't let her see you--she
mustn't know you are alive"
Dick was growing confused over the
mystery which was being thrown about
Echo Allen. First Jack had told him
he must wait to see her. and now her
father tells him he must never see her
again. or let her know that he is alive.
His strength was being overtaxed by
all this evasion and delay.
