CHAPTER XVII.
Face Ia tha Lockes

The Face In tho Locket.
Left alone in tho room she sat down
again before the fire and drew from
her pocket the packet OF letters. She
knew them by heart, she had READ and
reread them often when she had been
alone. They had fascinated her.
They were letters from some other
man to this mans wife. They we're
signed by an initial only and the iden-
tity OF the writer was quite unknown
to her. The woman's replies YER
not with the others, but 1t was easy
enough to see what those replies had
been. All the passion OF which tho
woman had been capable he'd evil
IDENTIFY been bestowed upon the writer
OF the letters she had treasured.
Her story was quite plain. She
had married Newbold IN a ft Of
pique He was an eastern man, the
best educated, the most fascinating
and interesting OF the men who frs
Quented the camp. There had been =
quarrel between the letter writer and
the woman; there were always quar-
reis, apparently. but this had been .
serious one and the man had sayagely
flung away and left her. He had not
come back as he usually did. She had
waited for him and then he had come
hack-too latel
He had wanted to kill the other, but
she had prevented, and while Newboid
wss away he had made desperate love
to her. He had besought her to
leave her husband to go away With
him. He had used every argument
that he could to that end and the NO
man had hss!tated and wavered. but
she had not consented: she had not
denied her goys fer him any more than

certain admiration Tor ner gallant.

again and again the requests OF her
lover. she could nos control her
heart. nevertheless she had kept TO
her marriage vows, But the force Of
her resistance had grown weaker and
she had realized that alone she would
perhaps inevitably succumb.
Her lover had been away when her
husband returned prior to the last

heart She could honor her. revsr.
snce her, pity her.
Ene could understand the feeling Of
the man too: she could think much
more clearly than he. He was dis
tracted by two passions, for his pride
and HIS honor and for her: she had as
yet but one, for him. And as there
was less turmoil anu confusion in ner
mind, she was better capable of look
ing the facts in the face and making
the right deduction from them.
She could understand how In the
first frightful rush OF his grief and re-
morDe and love the very fact that
Newbold had been compelled to kill
his wife, of whom he was beginning to
grow a little weary under such circum-
stances, had added immensely to his
remorse and quickened his determin-
alton to expiate his guilt and cherish
her memory. She could understand
why he would do just as he had done,
60 into the wilderness to be alone In
horror of himself and In horror OF his
fellow men to think only. mistakenly,
Of her.
Now he was paying the penalty OF
that isolation. Men were made to
live with one another, and no q
could violate the law natural, or by
30 long an Inheritance as to have 80
become, without paying that penalty.
His ideas of loyalty and fidelity were
warped, his conceptions OF his duty
were narrow. There was something
noble In his determination, it is
true, but there was something also
very foolish. The dividing line be-
tween wisdom and folly Is some
times as indefinite MS that between
comedy and tragedy, between laughter
and teara. II the woman he had
married and killed had only hated
him and he had known IL would have
been different. but since he believed
so ia her love he could do nothing
else.
At that period In her reflections
Enid Maitland saw . great light.
The woman had not loved her hus-
band after all. she had loved anoth-
er. That passion of which hs had
dreamed had not been for him. BY 4
strange chain Of circumstances Enid
Maitland held In her hand the solu-
ton OF the problem. She had hist
to give him these letters to show
him that his golden image had stood
upon feet OF clay. that the love up
on which he had dwelt was not his.

Owens yesterday recognize the pro-
gressive party as second 10 the demo
Gratis in Illinois. The republicans are
relegated to third place.
Under this ruling the progressives

pointments as judges and clerks III
Chicago and the town Of Cicero which
heretofore have gone to republicans.
There are 4 total Of $500 judges and
clerks in the 1900 precincts.
Judge Owens prenouncement came
as a severe blow to the republicans
who will ,ose one of their last bits OF
patronage. The republican county
managers had endeayored to pur
suade the county judge that the repu5
lican party is second in Illinois be
cause of the fact that Governor De
neen ran ahead of Frank H. Funk, pro
gressive gubernatrioal candidate. The
county judge is required to recognize
the two leading parties "of the state
rather than those of the county.
The position of the progressives
which was sustained by Judge Owens
was that the rank OF the parties
should be determined by the order il
which the presidential electors whC
headed the ticket finished. Th'
Roosevelt electors ran ahead Of the
Taft electors.
