CHAPTER TX.
At the

Hampton slowly picked his way back
through the darkness down the silent
road, his only guide those dim yellow
lights pickering in the distance.
1t was Saturday night, and the min
ing town was already alive. The one
long, irregular street was jammed with
constantly moving figures, the numer-
GUS saloons ablaze. the pianos sound
ing noisily. the shutting of feet in the
crowded dance-halls incessant. u n
Riot reigned unchecked. while the
quiet. sleepy town of the afternoon
blossomed under the flickering lights
into a s%aturnalia of unlicensed pleas
ure, wherein the wages Of sin were
death.
Hampton pushed his way through
the noisy throng with eyes ever watch
full for the faces. His every motion
was that of a man who had fully de-
cided upon his course. He swung up
the broad wooden steps Of the Occi-
dental and entered the barroom. which
was crowded by jostling figures. the
~ever-moving mass as yet good-natured,
for the night was young. At the lower
end of the long. sloppy bar he stopped
for a to nod to the fellow be

Anything going on tonight worth

with Red Slavin sitting in"
The gambler passed on, pushing
rather unceremoniously through the
throng of %perspiring humanity. The
large front upstairs was ablaze
with lights. every game in full opera
ton and surrounded by crowds Of de-
voices. He walked directly toward the
rear of the room. A thick, dingy red
curtain hung there; he held back its
heavy folds and stepped within the
smaller apartment beyond.

amid the b1ack shadows, looking con-
t~emptuously down upon the stream of
~coatless humanity trooping past on
pleasure bent, the blue smoke circling
his head, his gray eyes glowing half
angrily. Suddenly he leaned forward,
clutching the rail in quick surprise.
Kid he exclaimed, harshly. what
does this mean? What are you doing
alone here?"
She stopped instantly n glanced
up. her face flushing in the light
streaming forth from the open door
Of the Occidental.

He extended his hand, and drew her

for much anyhow. Was that all she

She did not answer, yet he read an
unchanged purpose in her eyes, and
his own decision strengthened. Some
instinct led him to do the right thing:
he drew forth the locket from beneath
The folds of her dress. holding 1t open
to the light. He noticed now a name
engraven on the gold case, and rent
lower to decipher the delicate letter.

CHAPTER VIII.
A Last Revolt.

n proved q restless day, n q sur
nciently unpleasant one. for Mr.. Hamp-
ton. For a number OF years he had
been diligently training himself in the
school Of cynicism, endeavoring to per
suade himself that he did not In the
least care what Others thought, nor
how his own career ended; impelling
himself to constant recklessness In lie
and thought. He had b u successfully
built up q wall between the present
and that past which long haunted his
lonely moments, and had finally de-
cided that 1t was Theoretically sealed.
Yet now. this odd chit of a girl. this
wait whom he had plucked from the
Jaws of death, had overturned this
carefully constructed barrier as II 1t
had been originally built of mere card
board, and he was compelled again to
see himself, sloathe himself. just as he
mad in those past years. o.
One thing he srasped clearly.-the
,gtrl should be given her chance moth
ing In his life must ever again soil her
o. lower her ideals. Mrs. Herndon
WAS right, and he realized It; neither
his presence nor his money were fit to
influence her future. He swore be-
tween his clinched teeth. his face
grown haggard. The suns rays bridged
the slowly dArkening valley with cords
of red gold. and the man pulled him
self to his feet by gripping the root
Of q tree. He realized that he had
been sitting there for hours, and that
he was hungry.
20 Down beneath. amid the fast awak'
sning noise and hustle OF early even
ing, the long discipline of the gambler
reasserted itself-he got back his
nerve. 1t was Bob Hampton. cool. re-
s~ourceful, sarcastic Of speech, quick OF
temper, who greeted the loungers
about the hotel. and who sat, with his
back to the wall. in the little dining
room, watchful of all others present.
And 1t was Bob Hampton who stroiied
sarslessly out upon the darkenedp porch
an hour later, leaving a roar OF laugh
ter behind him, and an enemy rs well

bring her here himself, and keep you
away" 81
The man smiled slightly. not in the
least disconnected by her plain speech.

in me. shall certainly discover some
means by which | may do my part in

He stepped without into the glare
Of the sunlight. feeling utterly care
less as to the woman who had affront-
ed him. yet somewhat hurt on seeing
that the girl had not once lifted her
towncast yes to his face. Yet he had
scarcely taken three steps toward the
road before ne was beside him. her
hand upon his sleeve. II

His sensitive face flushed with de-
light, but he looked gravely down into
her indignant eyes. "Oh, yes, O will.

blame her for not liking my style"
'Do-do you really want me to stick

1t was no small struggle for him to
say SO, for he was beginning to COM
prehend just. what this separation
had ever supposed, more to him than
she had even been an hour before. and
now he understood clearly that from
this N they must ever run far
ther apart-her life tending upward,
his down. Yet there was but one de-
cision possible. Then he answered.
This is your best chance. little girl,
and l want you to stay and fight 1t

Their eyes met. each dimly realis-
