secret from her. She had been in
fected by Newbolds quixotic ideas.
the contagion of his perversion of COM
mon sense had fastened itself upon
her. She would not have been human
either If she had not experienced a
thrill of pride and JOY at the possibil-
ity that in some way, of which she yet
swore she would not be the instrument

disclosed which would enable Newbold
to claim her openly and honorably, with

thought unworthy Of her and strove
to fight it down. but with manifest i'm
possibility.
1t has taken time to set these things
down; to speak or to write Is slow
process, and the ratio between outward
expressions and inward is as great as
that between light and sound. Cues

followed as swiftly as thrust and parry
between accomplished. swordsmen, and

would only make him the more des-
perate.
Whether Newbold found out Arm
strongs connection with his past love-
there was sufficient provocation In the
present to evoke all the oppugnation
and resentment of his nature. Enid
felt as she might il 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 I'M
expected arrival Of Armstrong, of all
not to be there. and then the equally
startling arrival of Newbold, of whom
perhaps the same might have been
said. If Newbold had only gone on,
If he had not come back, If she had
been rescued by her uncle or old Kirk
by-But Ifs" were idle, she had to
face the present situation to which
she was utterly unequal
She had entirely repudiated Arm
strong. that was one sure point; she
knew how guilty he had been toward
Newbold's wife, that was another; she
realized how he had deceived her.
that was the third. These eliminated
the man from her affections, but 1t is
one thing to thrust man out of your
heart and another to thrust him out
of your life; he was still there. And
by no means the sport of blind fate
Armstrong intended to have something
TO say as to the course OF events, to
use his own powers to determine the
issue.
OF but one thing beside her hatred
for Armstrong was Enid Maitland alb
solutely certain; she would never dis

that the woman. the memory OF whose
supposed passion he cherished. had
been unfalthful to him In heart II

yet between each demand and reply
they had time to entertain these swift
thoughts-as the drowning compass
life experiences in seconds!
II 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 fulillment."

Newbold sternly and again addressing
the woman rather than the man.

these years.
Well" tauntingly 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 qulckness and
presented it. The newcomer was un.

Still keeping the other covered, New
bold stepped over to the table pulled
out the drawer and drew from 1t the
locket. Enid remembered she had has
tily thrust 1t there when he had hand
ed 1t to her. and there 1t had lain I'M

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?"

Armstrong more explicitly. thinking
to use a spear with a double barb to
pierce the woman's and the mans

dead was OF no moment then. "She

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.

voice rising with the tragic intensity
OF the moment and thrilling with in

thing to say or do about it?"
But Newbold had stopped, appalled,.
He stood staring as if petrified; recog-
milton, recollection rushed over him.
Now and at last he knew the man.
The face that confronted him was the
same face that had stared out at him
from the locket he had taken from the
bruised breast of his dead wife, which

Armstrong confronted Newbold
therefore, lustful of battles; he yearn-
ed to leap upon him, his fingers itched
to grasp him, then trembled slightly as
he rubbed them nervously against his
thumbs; lis face protruded little, his
eyes narrowed.
my name is Armstrong" he said,
determined to precipitate the issue
without further delay and flinging the
words at the other in tone of hec-
rtoring 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 1t 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 woman 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
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
open and which was growing greater
with every passing moment. The
score against Newbold was running up
in the mind of his visitor.
"Ah,"' coolly said the owner of the
cabin to the first of his two guests,
81 do remember you did mention that
name the first day you spent here.
lis he "a friend of yours?"
Not now" answered Enid Maitland.
She too was in a strange state OF
perturbation on account of the diem
ma in which she found herself in
volved. She was determined not to
sbetray the unconscious confidence of
the dead. She hoped fervently that
Newbold would not recognize Arm
strong as the man OF the loclset, but
~ he did she was resolute that he
should not also be recognized as the
man of the letters, at least not by her
act. Newbold was ignorant of the ex-
fstence of those letters and she did
not intend that he should be enlight-
.ened go far as she could prevent II.
