his fingers tingled again to grasp
him and to deliver one more we'll
deserved blow. He knew he had
done right in furnishing him. He
wished that the fellow had struck
back, that the struggle might have
lasted longer.
How strong he felt in spite of the
eXertion he had InadeI What a
splendid thing it was to be as vigor-
Gus as he now was! What wonders
the summer here had done for him!
DR.. Wade was a marvellous physi-
clan.
All this while his brain was still
hot with excitement. Then the ex-
citement began to evaporate, and
cold reason reigned in its stead.
Not that he regretted his action.
Not bit OF 1t. He would like to do
the same thing over again.
But the thought of DR.. Wade had
brought back to his mind Clifford
Chapin's accusation. 1t. was all a
foul lie. He would stake his very
life on that
But how had the scoundreI dared
say such a thing? How had he ever
gotten such an idea into his stupid
brain?
Butler knew that Chaplin would
not have dared make this statement
IL he had not fancied he had some
foundation for II. John almost re-
gretted that he had not allowed
the accused to say just little more
so that he could have proved to him
that he was entirety wrong. But
no-he was delighted that VEN
geance had visited the rascal as
swiftly as il had.
Her name was not Lizzie Moore,
and she was not Chapin's cousin.
The Washington times., 1918-08-21
John Butler, Learning That Elizabeth Moore Is an
Assumed Name, Still Keeps His Faith
In the Girl He LOUes
An Absorbing Serial
of East and West

That had been the FIRST statement
the cad had made. That, at least,
Butler wanted to believe, and had
no trouble in believing. A fellow
like Clifford Chaplin could never be
related by blood to such a girl as
the one whom Butler had known as
Lizzie Moore.
But who was she. then?
He shook his head impatiently.
1t was no business of his who she
was. He knew she was pure and
good.
He knew something else now
better than he had ever known it
before. He loved this girl. He had
appreciated all along he was very
fond of her. Now he understood
that nothing else in all the whole
wide world mattered compared with
her
II he had not come to the farm
this summer he would never have
met her. That was another thing,
besides restoration to health, that
he owed to DIR. Wade.
DR.. Wade! And 1t had been Of
him that Clifford Chaplin had ut
tered that foul calumny-of him
and the girl whom John Butler
loved.
He put the thought from his mind
angrily Perhaps she did know
Wade, but what OF that? He simply
would not think about the matter.
This was the resolve that was up
permost in his mind as he climbed
the stairs to his own room.
Elizabeth Wade, lying sleepless,
heard him go softly past her door.
She would have given a great deal
to know what he was thinking.

a vision Of her lost love:
