P. J. Lee Injured

Last week while working on
L. F. Schuhmacher's residence,
contract tor p. J.Lee while cutting
out a dormer window fell, break
ing one rib and possibly another
one, and bruising his shoulder
and hip.
Mr.. Lee placed one foot on a
timber which was not securely
nailed being only for a temper
airy purpose, and with his knee
on the sill was working, when
the nail gave way. Mr.. Lee fell
only to the second story floor,
about 10 feet, here he struck a
joist and also saw horse. He
first thought he was not injured
enough to stop him from work
but later sat down, when he be-
came worse and sent one of his
men for a conveyance to bring
him down to a doctors office
where his injuries were dressed.
He is now resting as we'll as the
nature of his injuries will per-
nit, and recovering as rapidly
as could be expected.

CHAPTER XIV.
Accusation and Admission.


Now that the great moment had
nized the woman whom he sought in
spite of her strange garb-he became
suddenly acutely conscious of trivial
details and accurately responsible to
matters of no moment. He stepped,
for instance, near the bow of the boat,
told the coxswain that he might allow
the men to land but that they must re-
main close to the beach and within
easy call and see that the boat was
properly secured Then he turned and
walked slowly-singular how eager he
had been for that moment and how
tardy he was in availing himself of
it when it came-toward the two who
stood silently watching little dis
lance away.
He was dressed in a boating suit
of white and wore white yachting
cap. He was distinctly good looking
His repentance, his anxiety, his disap-
pointment had refined his face to a
certain degree and he was not an I'M
worthy specimen of humanity in ap-
pearance. The man looked at him
with vivid curiosity and sudden
sense of dismay to find the new conner
so worthy of respect on the ground Of
appearance at least.
The glance that Langford gave the
man was at once casual and indiffer-
ent. His whole interest was centered
upon the woman. He found himself
trembling violently in spite Of the
superhuman efforts he put forth at
control. 1t was only the most iron
constraint indeed that enabled him to
approach her at all. AS he drew near
to her, he took off his cap, bowed to
her and strove to speak.

you; that she is filled with horror as
you approach; that she looks at you
as she does now? l have never seen
that look upon her face since we have
been upon this island"
Langford turned and faced the man
as these singular queries were put to
him.
Who is this man. Katharine?" he

Confronted.


At these appalling words the
strength seemd all at once to go out
of the mans arm. Heavily, but not
with purposeful ungentleness, he
slowly set Langford down upon his
feet on the sand.
You brute!" cried the other man,
trembling with impotent anger.
There was nothing that he could
do personally. If he had possessed
weapon he would have killed the is
lander, but he was unarmed and help
less. Therefore he turned toward the
beach and called to his men. They
had seen the sudden attack and were
already running across the sands.
NO. said the woman, that word
truth, and yet not ALL" She turned
to her companion of the island.
Man." she said, you have loved me.
You must hear what have to say"
You have said that it was true"
he muttered, hoarsely. And the man
who has said 1t lives. Lives!"
His voice rose to cry. He turned
toward Langford again. But by this
time the six blue jackets who made
up the gigs crew were close at hand.
Haley" cried Langford to the cox
swain, seize that brute yonder.

The woman was still wearing the
knife that she habitually carried. She
used it often and kept the blade bright
and of keen edge. She whipped it out
on the instant, her civilization falling

Before she could prevent him. he

And now" he said, springing to-
ward the huddled group of sailors, the
bright blade lifted. (which of you
will touch me?"
The men shrank back. There was
something so furious in the aspect OF
the man, his power was so evident
and his temper as well that none
wished to precipitate the fray
