A suggestion of color swept her
face, though she answered at once
without hesitation: ITO the Black

The slight form of the Governor
stirred as to the shock of battery

The Governor looked at her; did
not speak.
IL at first did not know who he

Seigneur, saw had learned the truth,
he asked me to promise-not for him
self-but because of this man!-to
say nothing of having met him there,
or the others And l did promise, and
he sent me back-and that is all"
"All!" Did the Governor speak the
word? He sat as if he had hardly
comprehended; a deeper flush dyed
her cheek.
"You-can not blame me-after
what he did He saved me-saved my
life. You are glad of that, mon pere,
are you not? And it must have been
hard doing it, for his clothes were
torn, and his hands were bleeding-he

The Governor looked at her;

brated far and near.

"What?

see you must, mon pere? Must!" she
repeated.
His thin lips drew back disagree

reached among the papers and turned
them over absently. Very WE'LL" he

the door. Near the threshold she
paused; looked back to smile crate

went out.
