II always loved you, VIII, and it
built up in your mind all that about my
loyalty to Joe. l cared for Joe in a
way, but that was all. If you imagined
all that you did, was l to blame for il?
Sometimes you nearly drove me crazy
with your talk about Joe, about his
work, about my loyalty to him, when
| was hungry for your love.
I'm aShamed-GNl knows how I'm
ashamed to tell you this. You made
me, VIII. While Joe lived was true

Afterward it seemed to Wilton like
dreadful dream. Gently he put her
arms from his neck, and rose to his
feet. And, because the nature Of the
man was of that simplicity that in
stinctively understands, it was not an
ger, but deep pity that filed his
heart.
I'm sorry, Kitty" he said "What
you have told me makes an end Of
much that have planned and dreamed
of. 1t takes the zest out of things. 1t
was my fault. Let us go back"
She looked at him with white face,
set lips and blazing eyes. She rose
without a word, declining his hand,
and without word they went back
along the cleared road in the twilight.
He left her at her door,
He went TO his shack and sat at his
| desk for whole hour, his head rest
ing heavily in his hands. All that he
| had given his life to seemed broken,
his ideals outraged; his love fer Molly
was the lodestOne of his life. but even
love is not all a man has to live for.
After a long time he was aware of
a low tapping at his door. He rose
and opened it. Kitty stood there in the
gathering darkness. She came O. few
steps into the office, and stopped

The heavy cloud that hung about
him partly lifted. Wilton grasEed at
! the hope she gave him as a man, con-
WINGED against his will, turns again to
his accustomed habits of thought, and
will not see.

She answered in the same strained,

CHAPTER VII-Continued.

But she went on without needing
him. until she stood almost at the end
of the shaking structure. 1t was a
dangerous place. The wind blew
strongly, sending her skirts flying
about her, and tumbling her hair upon
her shoulders.
Come back, Kitty. called Wilton,
making his way across the planks I'M
ill he reached her side. He put out his
hand to steady her. Then he saw that
the tears were streaming down her
cheeks.
"Why, Kitty, what is it?" he begged.
Il didn't hurt yOu?"
She shook his hand from her arm
with violent gesture leaning back;
and suddenly she lost her stance and
toppled from the edge of the trestle
into the river below.
A plunge into that viscOuS water was
more dangerous than a fall. Wilton
realized it instinctively He leaped feet
first and found himself struggling in
the gluey swamp, half mud, half wa
ter. Kitty, who had fallen into the
center of the stream, appeared half a
dozen feet away, her white face up
turned, her hands catching for support
as the shallow current carried her to-
ward the lake.
Fighting madly, Wilton detached his
limbs from the sucking mud and man
aged to grasp her skirt as she driftc'l
past him. With a desperate effort he
drew her to him and struggled
through the yielding muskeg until he
was able to catch an upright of the
treStle-wOrk.

catch his breath. She lay passive in
his arms, her eyes closed she seemed

lily, though quickly Her dripping
clothes chung to her tightly, and her
fair hair streamed over his arms.
Then, plOddlng through the yielding
swamp, he struggled on until he
reached the shore. Kitty opened her
eyes and fixed them upon his

There was quick catch of Kitty's
breath. "Oh, VIII, you are so hlnd"

you going to make me tell you, viii?

and tense. Kitty put her arm round
her and sat down on the bed beside
her.
TON BOwyer's a beast, Molly" she
said. But most men are. If you give
them the least bit of encouragement"
Il never encouraged him." cried
Molly, sobbing violently. I've always
hated the sight of him. He has some
power over father"
"He seems very fond of you," sug-
gested Kitty.

Kitty strOked her cheek softly. you
haven't met very many men, dear. Love
doesn't amount to very much, And it
doesn't last very long. l was quite
happy with Joe, after the first month
or two"
Molly looked at her in wonder. "Why,
| thought you and Joe loved each
Other!" she exclaimed.
Il admired Joe and respected him.
And then, there was not the dreadful
specter of poverty with him. Joe was
a man like Will Carruthers, he'd keep
his word, no matter at what cost"
Molly sprang to her feet. What are
you limiting atT' she cried Historically.
what word is viii keeping? Do you
mean his promise to me?"
Kitty drew her down beside her.
Cant you see, Molly, dear-Ieaven

thinking of your happiness as well as
Wills-can't you see that it was only
a passing episode to him, this engage
ment"
Molly sat perfectly silent, fixing her
eyes on Kitty's face.
"If he had meant 1t, wouldn't he
have written oftener from Clayton?'
How long was he i'll, then?" cried
Molly.
He was in bed few days after you
left OF course, he couldn't resume his
work till his arm had healed, but he
wasn't what you could call i'll. At
least, he went to the directors office
every day to work on the plans"
Her blue eyes, tranquil as a child's,
looked into Molly's gray ones. Pres
emily Molly laughed.
ITO think | didn't know" she said.

thought that it was you who had
ceased to love me-"
81, Molly, dear? Welt was pretty
hard, coming here with VIII Carruthers

not daring to speak. But please don't
take my word about the man you're en-
gagged TO- | feel like mischief-maker.
But | love you, dear, and like viii,
and do feel he isn't to blame. That's
why came to you. And I've no doubt
he's honorable enough to say nothing
at all, If you want to"
"Kitty" Molly sprang to her feet,
quivering with Indignation.

"By the end of the year your shares
