The Secret Told.

Late in the night Madeline fell
asleep. In the morning she was pale
and languid, but in a mental condition
that promised composure.
1t was considerably after her regu-
lar hour that Madeline repaired to her
office. The door was open, and just
outside, tip ed bac., in a chair. sat
Stillwell.
"Mawnin'. Miss Majesty" he said, as
he rose TO greet her with his usual
courtesy. Madeline shrank inwardly,
fearing his old lamentations about
Stewart. Then she saw a dusty. ragged
pony in the yard and a little burro
dropping under a heavy pack. Both
animals bore evidence of long, ardu-
Gus travel.

Madeline.

that betrayed embarrassment.

in sudden curiosity.
The old cattleman nodded gloomily.

She closed her eyes. He rained kisses
upon her face, but no more upon her
mouth. On her closed eyes,, her hair,
her cheeks, her neck he pressed swift
lips-lips that lost their fire and grew
cold. Then he released her, and, lift

She felt something hard and cold
and metallic thrust into her hand. He
made her fingers close over it, hold 1t.
The feel of the thing revived her. She
opened her eyes. Stewart had given
her his gun. He stood with his broad
breast against her knee, and she
looked up to see that old hooking
smile on his face.

News of Stewart.

Blinded, like a wild creature, Made
line Hammond ran to her room. She
felt as If a stroke of lightning had
shattered the shadowy substance of
the dream she had made of real life.
The wonder of Danny Mains story,
the strange regret with which she had
realized her injustice to Stewart, the
astounding secret as revealed by Padre
M~arcos-these were forgotten in the
sudden consciousness of her own love.
She liberated the thought that knocked
at the gates of her mind. With quiv-
ering lips she whispered it. Then she
spoke aloud:
81 will say it-hear it. II love
hint"
In a nature like hers, where strength
of feeling had long been inhibited as
a matter of training, such a trans
forming surprise as sudden conscious
ness of passionate love required time
for its awakening, time for its sway.
