last year that threatened to put him
out of the running for good. He laid
off entirely several weeks, and then,
along toward the end of the season,
got back into the game in a desultory
fashion that didn't promise much for
the future.
A winter on his farm at Cleveland,
though, has put him in splendid
shape.

a lot of stumps to clear up a piece Of

Larry weighs 200 exactly with his

will see him at his mark. He weighed

"Give him a chance" added Matt

"You would not believe me, eh?"
laughed Armstrong horribly, well
then this is what / say, whether 1t Is
true or a lie you can be the Judge"
What was he about to say? They
all recognized instinctively that his
forthcoming ~deliverance would be a
final one. Would good or evil domin-
ate him now? Enid Maitland had
made her plea and it had been a pow
erful one; the man did truly love
the woman who urged him; there was
nothing left for him but a chance that
she should think better Of him than
he merited; he had come to the end
of his And Enid Maitland
spoke again as he hesitated.

she cried.

bold, your wife was as pure al the
snow; that she loved me l cannot and
will not deny, she married you in a
fit Of jealousy and anger after a quar-
rel between us in which l was to
blame, and when l came back to the
camp in your absence, l strove to
make it up and used every argument
that I possessed to get her to leave
you and to live with me. Although
she had no love for you she was too
good and too true a woman for that.
Now you've got the truth, damn you,
believe 1t or not as you like. Miss
Maitland" he added swiftly. IF I had
met you sooner, l might have been
a better man. Good bye"
He turned suddenly and none pre-
venting, indeed 1t was not possible, he
ran to the outer door; as he did so
his hand snatched something that lay
IN the chest Of drawers. There was
a flash of light as he drew in his arm
but none saw what 1t was. In a few
seconds he was outside the door. The
table was between old Kirkby and the
exit; Maitland and Newbold were
nearest. The old man came to his
senses first.

But before anybody could stir the
dull report Of a pistol come through
the open door!
They found Armstrong lying on his
back in the snowy path, his face as
white as the drift that pillowed his
head, Newbold's heavy revolver still
clutched in his right hand and a
bloody yelling smudge on his left
breast over his heart. 1t was the wo.
man who broke the silence.
"Oh," she sobbed, 1T can't be-"
Dead" said Maitland solemnly.
