only to reach out his hand to take her. She
was his! Houses, servants, all were his and
hers! 1t was so ordered. If he did take her,
he would only be doing that which all the
world believed to be his right. What could
she do9 She was helpless. The hot blaze of
her anger inflamed him too. All gentler in
stincts were overwhelmed in the glow of her
antagonism, which had in it something of
the untamed fury of the animal. This it
was that spoke to him: the warm flush of
her blood, which was hatred but might

the petulant, intOlerant lips which could
not by bitter utterance disguise their true
mission.
He looked down away from her, that he
might not see her and be tempted; clenching
his fists, that his fingers might not reach forth
and seize. Even then the feminine perfume
came to him, some subtle saChet in the filmy
thing that was floating in the breeze; but
mingled with it was the odor of her hair.
Did she know her danger? He heard her
voice still speaking, with the ring of defiance
that had become familiar to him; but he did
not hear what it said, he only knew that
what she said must be insulting. He tried
to reason with himself, thinking deeply,
wondering if there was any Justification He
admired her courage; she must know that no
woman under such condition could speak to
a man like that.
When he looked up, she saw something in
his face that made her start back; but it was
too late. With one step he was beside her,
had taken her and held her body close to his
in arms which were stronger than hers. He
kissed her on the brows, eyes, and lips that
had so scorned him, again and again. warmly

breathlessly, "or III not answer for you!

him from the hill on his right, waving Ian
tern and shouting warning to him not to
attempt to ford the stream. He explained
to Hammond that the rains had made the
river impossible and he would have been
drowned had he tried to make the crossing
The instinct of a mule had saved him.
When at work, just as when at play, Ham
mond is characterized by his intense appli-
cation. He has been known all his life for
his persistence in carrying out the things he
has undertaken. He maps out big business
propositions; but he knows the smallest de-
tail of all of them, and in working them out
he spends whole days and nights at his desk.
He shows with them the same enthusiasm
that characterized him when he swung on
the end of a rope over the brink of preci-
pice in Mexico looking for gold in the face
of the cliff, and in carrying them to compile
ton he exhibits the same bulldog dctermina-
ton that moved him to tramp hundreds of
miles through the jungles of Honduras or
over the mountains of Nicaragua hunting
for riches in the earth.
This favorte playmate of the President
has had life punctuated by great works,
results so uniformly successful that often
he has seemed wizard like. But he has done
more. All those who know him say that,
while he has succeeded, he has been loved
He has made of his money benediction to
Others, and of his companionship pleasant
hours for those with whom he came in con-
tact. He is a continual refutaton of the
popular cant that the getting of much money
hardens a mans heart.
It's because of his heart that the President
likes him; for the President thinks John
Hays Hammond belongs to the nobility of
kindness and the knghthood of courage.
