CHAPTER xxI'I.-cont1nu.d.

Which was the stronger, his love
tor the woman or his hatred for the
man? II he spoke at all, 1t would be
FOR her sake, naught else. Would the
man understand that, would he?
Whatever happened. he had possesssd
her; she had been his for brief hours.
Did he have the strength now to rive
her to someone else even though he
were dead? Being dead, would he
know?
The struggle racked and tore him in
his heart. He could come to no de-
cisloh, at least not then. What he
would ID later would depend upon cir.
cumstances. One thing he could do
and that was to go and find the man.
Attending to such matters as were
most pressing and taking the precau.
ton to make his will, strange will,
at which his attorney ventured to
demonstrate unavailingly, at last he
started on that journey across the con.
unent in his private car. He left the
car at Suffolk, Virginia, and with q
motor which had been transported

the inlet until he came to the manor

Langford's lips. He must 90 back. II
for no other reason than to settle the
doubt, to answer the question, to sat
isfy the wild clamor Of his soul, to kill
the hope that flashed into his breast
at the others words.
His reverie was interrupted by the
arrival Of strange negro. Langford
had stopped at village tavern. 1t ap-
peared. where he had procured writ
ing materials. He had paid the boy
literally to bring the note to Char.
mock. The envelope was sealed. Be-
meath his name was written these
words:
"As you are q gentleman and re.
spect the request Of dead man, you
will not open the envelope until you
stand upon the island"
Never was there such prohibition.
Never was there such q consuming
desire In the mans heart to defy
1t and disregard 1t. Yet that vague,
intangible thing we call honor, backed
by flimsy bit Of paper and paste,
held Charnock with fetters Of steel.
The envelope decided him. He rose
to his feet, entered the house. sent for
his uncle, told him the story and bade
him get ready to start for San Fran.

A Promise Broken.


It was that same late spring morn.
ing when John Charnock sat on the
porch overlooking the pale waters of
Hampton Roads past Newport News
and Old Point Comfort and the blue
waters Of the Chesapeake and the
bluer ocean beyond. The motor car
was stopped outside the great gate
at the end Of the long avenue Of trees
which led to the river road. 1t could
have been driven in, but as he ap.
preached the house more nearly with
his mind still In a state of indecisiou.
In order further to collect his thoughts
and because he was tired from the
long ride and because he would not
trespass on Charnock more than was
absolutely necessary, Langford. de.
cided to walk.
Now the sight Of motor car was
not unusual and Charnock glanced at
1t indifferently enough until 1t stopped
at the gate. He did not recognize
the tall, slender figure which came
slowly up the path by the side
Of the drive under the great arch

nearer, he arose and with true

Langford started. hesitated. threw
back his head and came resolutely on.
He mounted the nrst flight Of steps
and as he did 30. Charnock turned,
drew back Z little to make way for
him and the two men faced each
other upon the terrace.

realized more keenly than ever what
1t meant to him even In the very ar.

His voice rose until he almost cried
the five words in Charnock's face. The
virginian stood absolutely appalled,.
Langford looked at him a moment,
laughed bitterly. turned, and went
slowly down the steps. More than
ever he hated him. In one bound
