large fortune in a manner of self-sacri-
fee and hardship was thing of which

She. at least. would stand acquitted
OF feudal passion. She stood as lone
fighter for the spirit of all that was
best and most unselfish in Kentucky
ideals and the ideals of civilization.
If she chose to come now as a wit
ness for Anse Havey. she should
have a respectful hearing. The pris-
oner bent forward and fixed eyes blaz-
ing with excitement on the door OF
the witness room. He saw it open and
saw her pause there. pale and rather
perplexed. then she came steadily to

The man had known her always in
