pavement, not at all realizing how
blessed they were.
The American entered and stood
still moment to have a good look at
Lady Maud. He was middle-sized,
rather thick-set man. with rude hands,
sandy hair, an over-developed jaw,
and sharp blue eyes that sometimes
fixed themselves in a disagreeable
way when he was speaking-eyes that
had looked into the barrel of another
mans revolver once or twice without
wavering, hands that had caught and
saddled and bridled many an unridden
colt In the plains, mouth like car

vice when it was shut He was not a
handsome man. Mr.. Rufus Van Torp,

was not for his face that Lady Maud,
good and beautiful, liked him better
tnan any one In the world, except her
own father, and believed in him and
trusted him, and it was assuredly not
for his money. The beggar did not
live who would dare to ask him for a
penny after one look at his face. and
there were not many men on either
side Of the Atlantic who would have
looked forward to any sort of contest
with him without grave misgivings.
WELL" he said, advancing the last
step after that momentary pause, and
taking the white hand in both his
own, how have you been? Fair to
