one swift: 'envenomed glance at the
other man, and then she turned to her
lover. She laid her; hand upon his
arm, she lifted her face up to him.
"As Cod Is my Judge" she cried, her
voice rising with the tragic intensity
of the moment and thrilling with in
dignant protest, "he took it from me

Newbold did not leap upon the man

But Newbold had stopped, appalled,.
He stood staring as if petrifed; recog-

Now and at last he knew the man.

same face that had stared out at him

yet between each demand and reply
they had time to entertain these swift
thoughts-as the drowning compass
life experiences in seconds!
Il may not be her friend" said Arm
strong steadily, but she left me in
these mountains month ago with
more than half way promise to mar
ry me, and have sought her through
the SHOWS to claim the fulfillment."
You never told me that" exclaimed
Newbold sternly and again addressing
the woman rather than the man.

From Newbold's belt depended a

presented it. The newcomer was un.

But the man paid no attention to

thrust his pistol violently forward.

in bitter taunt.

Whether Newbold found out Arm
strong's connection with his past love,
there was sufficient Drovocation in the
present to evoke all the oppugnation
and resentment of his nature. Enid
felt as she might if the puncheons of
the floor had been sticks of dynamite
with active detonations in every heel
that pressed them; as if the slightest
movement on the part of any one
would bring about an explosion.
The tensity of the situation was be-
wildering to her. 1t had come upon
her with such startling force; the un-
expected arrival of Armstrong, of all
the men on earth the one who ought
not to be there. and then the equally
startling arrival of Newbold, of whom
perhaps the same might have been

determined to precipitate the issue
without further delay and flinging the
words at the other in tone Of hec-
toriug defiance which, however
strange to say. did not seem to effect
Newbold in any perceptible degree.
( The name was an illumination to
him, though not at all In the way the
speaker had fancied; the recollection
of It was the one fact concerning her
that ranked in the solitary's mind.
He had often wanted to ask Enid Matt
land what she had meant by that
chance allusion to Armstrong which
she had made in the beginning Of their
acquaintance, but he had refrained.
At first he had no right to question
her; there could be no natural end to
their affections; and latterly when
their hearts had been disclosed to each
other in the wild, tempestuous, pas
siOnate scenes of the last two or three
days, he had had things Of greater mo-
ment to engage his attention, subjects
of more Importance to discuss with
her.
He had for the time being forgotten
Armstrong and he had not before
known what jealousy was until he had
entered that room. To have seen her
with any man would have given him
acute pain, perhaps just because he
had been SO long withdrawn from hui
man society. but to see her with this
man who flashed instantly into his
recollection upon the utterance of his
name was an added evaporation.

whom indeed he had addressed his

was something In his movement which
bespoke CALLING almost contemptuous
obliviousness to the presence Of the
other man which was indeed hard for
him to bear.
Hate begets hate. He was quite
conscious OF Armstrong; antagonism,
which was entirely undisguised and

RYERSON,DNORCED,
IS MARRIED AGAIN
First Wife Once Sued Him
for Breach of
Promise.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 1S.-The
romantic but unfortunate career of
Theodore Adds Ryerson. jr., has
reached at last a happy climax OF
contentment. according to his friends.
For the young broker. who married
tiful Chicago widow, after she had
obtained q verdict Of $1,000 for breach
of promise against him, is now a ben
edict for The SECOND time. He was
married on Saturday in the home of
his parents here to Miss Ora M.
Starr, of Cambridge, n. Y.
Although his intimate friends knew
of the ceremony. it was a surprise to
many of his acquaintance to learn
hat the first marriage had ended in
divorce. To many the announcement
of his second wedding was the first
news of his separation from the for
mer Mrs. Walters. -
Got $1,000 Verdict.
The decree was granted May 81. 1t
is said that Mrs. Walters Ryerson
has taken up the stage as a profess
sion.
That remarkable woman met MIR.
Ryerson at Atlantic City about three
years ago.
In March, 1910. she began a suit
asking $4,000 damages or the allie
cations that he had promised to
marry her and had later refused to
keep his word. But she wept as she
sat on the witness stand and con-
fessed she still loved him.
Even after the jury had awarded
$4,000 to the plaintiff the courtship
proceeded, and in April Mrs. Wal
ters became the bride of the man
she had sued and whom her lawyers
had denounced in our as this
lady killer who goes up and down
the land dangling the bleeding
hearts of women from his belt"
Has Known Present Wife for Years.
The trouble of the past seemed to
be forgotten, although Mrs. Walters
had declared, while testifying in her
suit, that she did not think she could
trust Mr.. Ryerson again.
Evidently mistrust did arise on one
side or the other, for 1t was learned
from New Brunswick today that a
divorce had been quietly obtained.
The second Mrs. Ryerson is a
beautiful and talented woman. She
had been n friend of Mr.. Ryerson
for many years, and their mutual
acquaintances predict that this
union will be one of lasting happi-
ness.
Mr.. Ryerson was compelled to
leave for Mexico on business shortly
after the ceremony. His bride will
make her home with his parents
until he returns. He is vice-presi-
dent of the Remington & Sherman
Co., vault builders.
