there was always the refuge of flight
but In Flanders. men learn not IN do
sert Their posts. and HilIiard had
learned that lesson among the first
Loyalty to the cause Of fighting had
grown automatic; flight was simnIv In
conceivable to him.
Yes. he could gather his resources
and place them. together with himself
IN the hands OF his subscribers. and
their vengeance would be twofold :.
once fo' their loss out OF pocket. once
Tor the loss out Of faith. He had do
served no lenlency. and he expected
none. But as for those who. without
the financial entanglement, had re-
spected him. and honored him. as for
Carol Durant and Angela
Well. as for Carol. he was at lea
relieved OF the terrific mental convuI-
sion which would surely have fallen
upon him II he had had reason to be-
lleve That she loved him. As It was.
her shock mt his disaster would be
tempered by Armstrong; sane philoso-
ply; Mt most, she would lose In Hill

man she had wanted to retain as a

that. and no more. This was a conso-

As to ArmStrong-Hiliard marvel

and clean and manly; he had well
merited his victory. AS to Mr.. Cullen
-Hllliard was torn with regret, but
after all. Cullen's gullbility was what
had made the campaign so chidlshly
simple. AS to Angela who had
really loved him
"Oh, the poor little kid :" said Hill
lard softly THE poor little kid.
And perhaps he had never loved
Carol Durant so much as when, at ten
o'clock that sunny morning. he went
up the steps Of Angela's house to de-
stroy a little girls regard for him be-
fore It could be destroyed by others.
On the doorstep he found strength

In way, HilIard felt that he. too.
was giving up his life as Dutout had
given his with smile for the
fate, and a blessing for the future. Be-
cause he was afraid, unnervedly afraid.
that Angela. after all. was in love with
him-and when he put a stop to that.
1t was the beginning Of the end.
The Dolores star., 1920-10-15

In coming up here this afternoon was
to talk to you about this same prop
erty. Mr.. Cullen. had some
rather important things to tell you
about 1t. But in view of this new at
titude of Warnings. I'm going to act
differently. This won't stop here and
i prefer to have somebody look into 1t
before It's any worse. I'm going to put
myself In your hands. Rufus and An
gela. i want you both to witness this.
Mr.. Cullen, I'm going to give
you a check for eight thousand dol
lars; it's my whole balance at the
Trust and Deposit company, less what
