how useless 1t would be to explain
and a little ashamed of her own ILL
defined fears, and thus they rode on in
silence. He did not notice that she
glanced aside at him shyly, marking
the outline of his clear-cut features.
1t was manly face. strong. alive. full
OF character, the well-shaped head
firmly poised. the broad shoulders
squared in spite Of the long night Of
weary exertion. The depths of her
eyes frightened with appreciation.
II believe your story. Mr.. Keith"
she said at last softly
MY story?" questioningly. and turn
ing instantly toward her.
Eyes: all that you have told me
about what happened"
"Oh; | had almost forgotten having
told 1t, but | never felt any doubt but
what you would believe. | don't think
could lie to you"
1t was no compliment, but spoken
with such evident honesty that her
eyes met his with frankness.
There could be no necessity; only
l wanted you to know that I trust
you, and am grateful"
She extended her hand this time,
and he took it within his own. holding
it firmly, yet without knowing what
to answer. There was strong impulse
within him to question her, to learn
then and there her own life story. Yet,
somehow, the reticence of the girl
restrained him; he could not deliber
ately probe beneath the veil she kept
lowered between them. Until she
chose to lift it herself voluntarily, he
possessed no right to intrude. The
gentlemanly instincts OF younger
years held him silent. realizing clear
ly that whatever secret might domi
nate her life, it was hers to conceal
just so long as she pleased. Out OF
this swift struggle Of repression he
managed to say:
II appreciate your confidence. and
mean to prove worthy. Perhaps some
day | can bring you the proofs

word"
"Oh. but possibly you are too easily
convinced; you believed in Hawley."
She looked at him searchingly. her
eyes glowing, her cheeks flushed
YES" she said slowly, convincing

ious to be helped. but-but this is diff

tion with it, and the reason those who
were guilty of the crime were so anx-
ious to get him out of the way. She
listened intently. asking few ques-
tons. until he ended. Then they both
looked up, conscious that dawn was
becoming gray in the east. Keith's
first thought was one of relief-the
bright sky showed him they were rid
