Joe Carson had shouted his con-
fession without a second Of reflec-
ton. But the result must have been
the same had he taken years Of
thought. Between him and her as
the victim Of the law, there could be
no hesitation for choice. Indeed,
just now, he had no heed to his own
fate. The prime necessity was to
save her, Mary, from the tolls Of the
law that We're closing around her
For himself, in the days to come,
there would be a CHASTITY dread. but
there would never be regret over the
cost Of saving her. Perhaps, some
other he might have let suffer in his
stead-not her! Even had he been
innocent and she guilty of the crime,
he would still have saved her from
the waters-he would save her until
the end, as far as the power in him
might lie. 1t was thus that, with
the primitive directness Of his rever-

no sacrifice too great in her behalf

the contrary, he was distinctly an
