wounded both of them, and sent them
away bleeding and writhing.
The next day when he appeared on
duty all his old friends of the regi-

fellow officers looked all round and
past him, and couldn't see him. No
body responded to his greetings and
people were silent when he asked
questions. He understood it all we'll
enough. His comrades knew that he
was in love with the executioner's
daughter, and he was pariah. For
| many days he endured this ostracism,
and he began to realize what such a
love as his would cost him.
Then the commanding officer sum-
moned him to a conference. The
commanding officer began by telling
him how everybody in the regiment

When the fateful accident happened
Charles was a lieutenant in the army
his regiment being stationed at Dieppe.
He was about thirty years of age, and
handsome and prosperous. His life
had been full of adventure, for he had
spent several years in the wilderness
of America. He was of buoyant spir-
ii and extremely witty. and therefore
q great favorite with his regiment, and
a pet of his commanding officer, the
MARQUIS de Laboissiere. He also
seemed the pet of fortune, and II was
agreed by his comrades that he had a
future.
Then one day he went for horse

he recovered his senses he was being

The man seemed bent beneath some
crushing sorrow. His face was bag

together he would pace the floor OF ms

Alan was pleased to find as he left
their offices that he still had plenty
of time to catch the early train back to
Red Hill. There were only two after
noon trains for that difficult goal.
AS he strolled up the avenue he was
arrested by the sight Of a tall figure
standing on the curb watching the
swirl of the traffic The figure was
dressed in heavy whipcord suit and

saw Alan's face. 81 was jest calcu-

"Where did you come from? Where
are you off to?" cried Alan, and without
waiting for an answer he hailed a cab,
hustled Kemp into 1t and ordered 1t
to his club. He forgot his early train.
In the club lobby Kemp surrendered
his hat reluctantly to the ready attend
ant and followed Alan across soft car
pets to quiet corner where two enor-
nous chairs seemed to be making con-
fidences to each other. One could
imagine them aggrieved at being inter-
rupted and sat upon.

Did Lleber get my cable"
Kemp looked sadly out through the
window. "Lieber's dead"
Dead? Lieber dead?"
Kemp nodded. IL found him with
everything fixed for kcllin' the bucket.
He knew what was the matter. but he
didn't tell me what It was. Said it
had been comm on him for some while
an thet the want no hep for 1t. But
he got your cable. Mr.. Wayne, and he

he was goin' to use it. Said 1t kinder

all the things he said l should tell

Kemp stopped talking and downed
his drink. Alan sat silent and thought
full. Lieber was gone and made a gap
in his life that he never knew had been
filled He wanted to know more. He
turned to Kemp. "Well?"
"You remember the ioa tree at Lie
