Presently he spoke thickly. II sup.

'"That's ridiculous. Don't be absurd
Gordon"
"It's the truth. I've seen the woman.
She was pointed out to me-"
"By old Gideon Holt, likely" she
| flashed.
"One could get evidence and show it
to Miss O'Neill," he said aloud, to him
self rather than to her.
Diane put her point Of view before
him with heated candor "You couldn't.
Nobody but cad would rake up old
scandals about the man who has beat
en- him fairly for woman's love-"
"You beg the question. Has he won
fairly?'
"Of course he has. Be good sport,
Gordon. Don't kick on the umpire's
decision. Play the game"
"Thats all very well. But what
about her? Am to sit quiet while
she is sacrificed to code Of honor
that seems to me rooted in dishonor?'
"She is not being sacrificed. Pm
her cousin. I'm very fond Of her. And
I'd trust her with Colby Macdonald"
"Play fair, Diane. Tell her the truth
about this Indian woman and let your
cousin decide for herself. You can't
do less, can your
Mrs. Paget was distinctly annoyed.
"You ought to be ashamed Of yourself,
Gordon Elliot. You take all the gos-
sip Of crack-brained old idiot for
gospel truth just because you want
to believe the worst about Mr.. Mac
donald. Colby Macdonald is too big
and too aggressive not to have made
hundreds of enemies. His life has been
threatened dozens of times. But he
pays no attention to it--goes right on
building up this country. Yet you'd
think he had a cloven hOof to hear
some people talk. I've no patience
with them"
"rhe woman's name is Meteetse,"
Gordon said in an even voice. just as
if he were answering a question. "She
is young and good-looking for an In
dian. Her boy is four or five years old.
Colmac, they call him, and he looks
just like Macdonald"
"People are always tracing resem-
blances. There's nothing to that. But
suppose his life was irregular-years
ago. This isn't Boston. 1t used to be
the fringe Of civilization. Men did as
they pleased IN the early days."
"This wasn't in tho early days. It
was five years ago. when Macdonald
was examining the Kamatlah coal field.
I'm told he sends check down the
river once a month for the woman"
"All the more credit to him If he
does" Diane rose and looked storm.
lily down at her friend. "You're about
as broad as clam, Gordon. Can't you
see that even If it's true, all that Is
done with? 1t is part of his past
and it's finished-trodden underfoot.
It hasn't thing to do with Sheba."
II don't agree with you. A man
can't cut loose entirely from his past.
It is part Of him-and Macdonald's
past isn't good enough for Sheba
O'Neill."
Diane tapped her little foot impa.
tiently on the floor. 'sDo you know
many men whose pasts are good
enough for their wives? Colby Mac.

about the days on Bonanza, and knew
you would tell me more some day
when you wanted to speak about it,"
"YOur father was among the first of
