ed to him suddenly as though he
might take her in his arms, Is though
she might even want him to. Every
thing in him called out to her. She
represented to him all the sweetness
and gentleness he had longed for all
his life and never had. Before her
he felt the terrible humility of one
who loves with first devotion. Just
because he cared so much he could
see nothing but the barriers between
them. He was a nobody in her
fathers office. He would probably
always be a nobody. He could offer
her nothing. she who had everything.
The Trumans had been American
aristocracy ever since King James
had given Sir Philip Truman of Sus-
sex, England, a grant of land in Vtr-
ginia. Stephen Douglas had been
placed out from the Homo for Or
phans in Des Moines. The whole
thing was incredible.
But even as he renounced her he
leaned toward her. Constance
Suddenly some one appeared on the
terrace, 1t was David Sargent, with
his splendid assurance and his arro-
giant slimness and his excellent
clothes.
Hello" he said. "Kidnapped?'
The look he gave Stephen Douglas
was not intended to put him at his
ease. Then he turned to Constance.
''The Judge sent me to ind you. You
promised him his pipe"
They both rose and the three on
them walked slowly back to the
house. It was midnight by the great
clock on the stairs. Stephen Douglas
said good night and he walked back
to Mrs. Reuben Brooks in q torment
Of dreams.

como rich.
Next morning in the once he found
this letter, postmarked from Green
Mountain. Iowa. The paper was from
one Of the cheap lined tablets they
sold in Guy Hempers emporium and
the handwriting was Hepzibah Pres
