Huldah. I was the despised one. A
blur of blood passed before my eyes,
and then
''He is headed for the bridge-he
doesn't know" 1 uttered breath
lessly.
1 started up in wild alarm. In
fash 1 saw that, making short cut
for the town by an unaccustomed
route, Telford had struck into the
road at a point ahead of the block
ade. He had missed the danger sign.
He had no knowledge Of the con-
dition of the bridge. Two days pre-
Vious a horse and wagon had gone
through the rotten plankway, a great
hole gaped in the center Of the
bridge and some of the stringers
were hanging suspended by mere
splinters.
holegaped in the center of the bridge,
and some of the stringers were hang
ing suspended by mere spIinters.
Stop"
The word died in my throat mean
ingless, for the devil had seized me.
What was this man to me, that
should not allow him to go headlong
on his careless way? He had embit-
tered my existence, why should l
seek to save his life? My manhood
cowed. Hatred, cOwardice, guilt, held
me spelIbound beyond the saving
moment.
Crash!-a shrek, a splash, a CUR
gle and all was overall save the
footsteps preceding across the hol-
low, echoing plankway - tramp!
tramp! tramp!
But now all that was human within
me aroused. In horror l regarded my
Wilful act of crime. 1 ran to the
edge of the bridge, 1 shouted wildly.
I tore down the dim shore, calling
madly the name of the man had
murdered.
Only the sound Of the waves, the
roar of the falls below, the night
