Wilkerson had expected and feared
this. He saw his wild efforts going
for nothing. Without her assistance
and her money he was helpless.
And profounder even than his hatred
Of DOrr and his desire for the hidden
wealth was his agony at the thought
of his failure to win this woman whom
he loved.
Love is a noun which conveys to the
| ordinary mortal no definite meaning
without an adjective. There is, indeed,
/ an essence OF love. a complete and all
absorbing passion, before which even
the gods bow and against which the
world is powerless. Too often we
must describe It as lawless.
Yet 1t also exists when it evokes the
reverence Of the most cynical. vii.
| kersOn's love for Jean Darnell was the
very essence of his being.
1t had made a bravo Of a coward
1t had welded a dozen strands Of vi
ciousness. weakness. wickedness and
treacherousness into a strong charac
ter-strong only in its relation to the
woman.
The past few weeks. with their wild
ness. risk. crime and continual plot
: ting, had made the Harry WilkersOn
who was a weakling and sport of cir.
cumstances into personality who
must be dealt with.
Jean Darnell realized something Of
this when he next spoke.
"All this has been disappointing" he
said quietly, his eyes burning steadily
on hers. But the more disappoint-
ments I have to overcome the more
worth while 1t will make you"
"Quite an old time knight" she said
scornfully. but with an effort.
II am going to get that IDOL" he
went on. Il know just two things
there are millions in gold hidden in
the Master Key mine. and the plans
are concealed in that image"
"When will you have themT" she
cried, trying to fight against the mans
evil power.

message in his eyes and shuddered.

He was ready to do murder deliber-

been born in him another physical
