Gone with scarcely IN explanation.
this woman he had sinned for; this
was her gratitude. Nothing could
have wounded him more deeply than
this manner Of her going. As once
before. three years ago, she had gone
away. 70 she had gone now.
with whom had she gone? She had
not gone alone. Without money It
was impossible she could have gone
alone Besides. he remembered the
sound Of that car that had chopped
not far from the gate. She had not
gone alone. Her words came back to
him ~ he stood with the letter in his
hand the words she had flung at him
almost like taunt by Philip Hume's
grave: "Oh, am sick Of parsonages.
OF the weary, humdrum routine of du-
ties!" Was that why she had gone?
No hint In those few lines she had
written. Gone.

would not have walked to the station

going to London. The night train
leaves at half past eleven. We may
be sure she went by that"
What shall you do. Stephen" said
Hilda,
He made a weary movement Of his
shoulders.
What can I do! She's her own
mistress" Then he turned with q
sudden CLEAN in his face, . sudden
nervous vehemence that startled her.
We won't speak Of her again-this
woman! She isn't worth IT."
Stephen was pacing the room like
trapped animal padding up and
down its cage behind its bars.
Shes not worth IT." he said again,
speaking to himself. as II in the long
tension Of his racked nerves the
breaking point had been reached at
last-and with It q sudden determine.
ton. born Of the realization that the
woman he had loved, that ideal he
had set up years ago on the altar of
his heart, had never existed In reality.
He saw that now. saw her at last with
eyes striped Of glamour. This woman
he had lied for. sinned for-she was
not worth his sin, his silence.
Stephen glanced across at Hilda.
Hilda's lover was In exile, q hunted
man. because Of his guilty silence.
But the silence must end. The
breaking point had come: the load
had become too intolerable to be
bornen this woman herself for whom
he had borne 1t had made 1t at last
intolerable.
The time for silence Is over" he
whispered to himself. And Hilda,
watching his face anxiously, saw that
he clenched his hands like a man
who has come to some sudden deter
mination. The TRUTH must con.

dogs in no time. l have even seen

have killed them when they were
1eaping for the horses throat, ana I
have seen them almost pull a rider
from his horse. Usually 1t takes more
than one shot from heavy pistol to
slay the wolf.
We have another sport In tho
Texas Panhandle almost as exciting"
continued the major, "and that is the
jackrabbit hunt on horseback with
greyhounds. Contrary to general opin.
ion. jackrabbit cannot outrun a
good greyhound. except straightaway
for, say, 800 yards. Even a good COW
pony can run over a jackrabbit within
half mile. Those horses can jump,

CHAPTER XIII.
The Breaking Point.

stephen Ruthen stared almost In.
credulously at the letter the old serv-
ant Martha gave to him as he came
downstairs. that she had found lying
on the hall table addressed to him.
Martha had recognized the writing
as Miss Vanstone's. and 1t puzzled her
that a guest staying in the house
should write note to the rector,
when they would meet. II not at
breakfast-for Olive never came down
to Notwithstanding in the course
of the morning. So she handed II to
the rector as he was coming down
stairs. instead OF leaving it by his
plate on the breakfast table with the
letters that had come by post.
Stephen looked up from the few
lines and turned quickly to Martha.
whip had noticed with surprise how
white his face had gone. as IL about
to speak. HIS first impulse had been
to send Martha up to Olives room:
but he checked the impulse. He knew
that what was written there on the
sheet before him needed NO coniirma-
| ton.
Olive had left the rectory without
u hint or wore except these written
lines-had stolen away stealthily late
last night. That was what his letter
| told him two mornings after that
scene by Philip Hume's grave.

ant paused to say.
He wondered II she connected the
facts In any way with the letter that
she must see had startled him: he
scarcely knew what reply he made;
he walked into the breakfast room
with the letter in his hand.
She must have stolen down from her
room. out from the house, quietly as
a mouse. last night about IL O'Clock.
after he had gone to his room. II had
struck him that he heard the sound of
