would only make him the more des-
perate.
Whether Newbold found out Arm
strong's connection with his past love,
there was sufficient pr%ovocation 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 n
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 I'm
expected arrival of Armstrong, Of all
the men on earth the n who ought
not to be there. and then the equally
startling arrival of Newbold, Of whom
perhaps the same might have been

she was utterly unequal.
She had entirely repudiated Arm

knew how guilty he had been toward

that was the third. These eliminated

years for a chance to kill you and my

Still keeping the other covered, New
bold stepped over to the table pulled
out the drawer and drew from it the
locket. Enid remembered she had has
tily thrust 1t there when he had hand
ed 1t to her, and there 1t had lain un-
noted and forgotten. 1t was quite evil
dent to her what was toward now.
Newhold had recognized the other
man, explanations were inevitable.
With his left hand Newbold sought
the catch of the locket and pressed
the spring. In two steps he faced
Armstrong with the open locket thrust
toward him."

"Mine!"
"Do you know the locket?"

With diabolic malice Armstrong left
the sentence uncompleted. The infer

his reticence was obvious.

ted out Newbold.
"She was beside herself with love
for me; an old affair, you know" said
Armstrong more explicitly, thinking
to use a spear with a double barb to
pierce the woman's and the mans
heart alike. That he DETAINED the
dead was of no moment then. "She
wanted to leave you" he ran on glibly.
"She wanted me to take her back
and"

Maitland's lips. "A slanderous, das-
tardly, cowardly untruth."

But she was keen enough to see that
the first recognition would be in
evitable; she even admitted the fact
that Armstrong would probably pre-
cipitate it himself. Well, no human
soul, not even their writer, knew that
she had destroyed them, she had de-
termined to do so at the first convent
ent opportunity. Before that, however,
she intended to show them not to New
bold but to Armstrong, to disclose his
pertldy, to convict him Of the false
hood he had told her and to justify
herself even in his eyes for the action
she had taken.
Mingled with all these quick reflec-
tons was a deadly fear. She was
quick to perceive the hatred Arm
strong bore on the one hand because
Of the old love affair, the long cher
ished grudge breaking into sudden
life; on the other she realized that
her own failure to come to Arm
strong's hands and her love for New
bold, which she neither could nor had
any desire to conceal, and the cumula-
ton of these passionate antagonisms

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 a month ago with
more than a half way promise to mar
ry me, and / have sought her through
the SHOWS to claim the fulfllment."
"You never told me that" exclaimed
Newbold sternly and again addressing

| And now-I hate him!" She flung the
words at him savagely.
Armstrong was beside himself with
fury at her words, and Newbold's cool
indifference to him personally was un.
endurable. In battle such as he waged
he had the mistaken idea that any,
thing was fair. He could not really
tell whether 1t was love of woman OF
hate of man that was most dominant;

CHAPTER xxIl.--(continued.)

Armstrong confronted Newbold
therefore, lustful of battles; he yearn-
ed tuleap upon him, his fingers itched
to grasp him, then trembled slightly as
he rubbed them %nervously against his
thumbs; his face %protruded a little, his
eyes narrowed.
my name is Armstrong" he said,
determined to precipitate the issue
without further delay and finging the
words at the other in a tone of hec-
toring 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.
Newbold turned to the m to
whom indeed he had addressed his
question in the first place, and there
was something in his movement which
bespoke a CALLING almost contemptuous
ohliviousness 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
open and which was growing greater
with every passing moment. The
score against Newbold was running up
On the mind of his visitor.

Fashion Note.

Lady Duff Gordon, at a tea at the
Ritz Carlton. praised the pannier
skirt.
Everybody likes it, it is SO grace
full" she said, smiling. Everybody
likes it except crusty old fellows"
She turned to a crusty old fellow
upon a Louis Seize chair beside her
and continued:
Il know a woman whose husband
growled at her when she tried IN q

had been a mystery to him for all
these years.
WELL" t~auntingly asked Armstrong
again, what are you waiting for. are
you afraid?"
From Newbold's belt depended a
holster and a heavy revolver, As Arm
strong made to attack him he flashed
It out with astonishing quickness and
presented it. The newcomer was un-
armed-his winchester leaned against
the wall by his fur coat and he had
no pistol.
IT you move a step forward or back

IT did not think after that kiss in
the road that you would go back on
me this way, Enid" he said quickly.
"The kiss in the road" cried New
bold staring again at the woman.
"You coward" repeated she, with
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 God 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
like the thief and the coward he was
and he tells 1t now like the liar he is.
We were riding side by side, I was
utterly unsuspicious, / thought him a
gentleman, he caught me and kissed
me before / knew ii. ! drove him
from me. That's ALL"
Il believe you," said Newbold gent

Newbold did not leap upon the man
for that mordant insult to the woman;
his approach was slow, relentless, ter
rible. Eight or ten feet separated
them. Armstrong met him half way,
his impetuosity was greater, he sprang
forward, turned about, faced the full
light from the narrow window.
