SYNOPSIS

PROLOGUE.-Kenn Gwynne was
ave years old in the spring of 1912
when his father ran away from Ken
lucky with Rachel Carter, a widow.
They took with them Minda Carter,
Racheps baby daughter. In the fall
Kenneth's mother died of a broken
heart His grandparents brought him
up to hate the name of Rachel Carter.
IAN evil woman"
CHAPTER Kenneth, now a young
lawyer, seeks lodging for the night at
the farm of Phineas Striker near
father has recently died and that he Is
on his way to take possession of OK
tensive lands he has inherited. The
Strikers bought their farm of Ken's
father and a mortgage runs to his ia
thers widow-the Rachel Carter. "A
beautiful nineteen-year-old girl, who
rays she knew his father well and
refuses to give her name, ig visiting
the Strikers. Ken Is much interested
in her.
CHAPTER II.--In the morning the
girl is gone. Striker tells Ken she was
planning to elope with Barry Lapelle
and her mother came In the night and
took her home. AS Ken goes on his
way Striker tells him: THAT girl was
Viola Gwvn an she's your half-sister.

ing, over which perhaps half dozen
farmhouses were scattered. Beyond
this open space they entered narrow
strip of wood and, upon emerging, had
their first glimpse Of the Wabash
river
Stopping at the brow of the hill,
they looked long and curiously over
the valley into which they were about
to descend. The panorama was mag
nifcent To the left flowed the swol-
len, turgid river, high among the will
lows and sycamores that guarded the
low-lying bank. Far to the north 1t
could be seen, clayish, ugly mon
ster, crawling down through the heart
of the bowl-like depression.
Presently the travellers came upon
widely separated cabins and gardens,
and then, after passing through lofty
grove, found themselves entering the
town itself. Signs of life and enter
prise greeted them from all sides.
Here, there and everywhere houses
were In process Of erection-log cabins,
frame structures, and even an occa-
sional brick dwelling place. Turning
into what appeared to be well-trav-
eled road Che afterwards found 1t to
be Wabash street), Kenneth came in
the course Of few minutes to the
center Of the town. Here was the lit
tie brick courthouse and the Jail,
standing in the middle Of square
which still contained the stumps of
many of the trees that originally had
fiourished there. AT the southwest cor
ner Of the square was the tavern, q
long story and half log house, and II
was a welcome sight to Gwynne and
his servant, both Of whom were raven
ously hungry by this time.
Half dozen men were standing In
front Of the tavern when the newcom.
efs rode up. Kenneth dismounted and
I threw the reins to his servant. Land
lord Johnson hurried out to greet him

my grandparents when he went off TO
make his fortune in this new country.
1t was not until / was fairly well
grown that we heard that he was mar
ried to a woman named Rachel Car
ter"
Later the young man called at the
Office of Mr. Cornell, the lawyer who
had charge of his affairs. He had
come to Lafayette prepared to de
nounce Rachel Carter, to drive her in
shame and disgrace from the town, if
necessary. Now he was faced by a
most unexpected and staggering stu
alton.
To denounce Rachel Carter would be
to deliberately strike d cruel, devastat-
ing blow at the happiness and peace
of an innocent person-Viola Gwyn, his
own half-sister. A word from him and
that lovely girl, serene in her beliefs,
would be crushed for life The whole
scheme of life had been changed for
him in the twinkling of an eye, as 1t
were. He could not wreak vengeance
upon Rachel Carter without destroying
Viola Gwyn-and the mere thought of
that caused him to turn cold with re-
pugnance. How could he publish Ra-
chel Carter's infamy to the world with
that innocent girl standing beside her
| to receive and sustain the worst of the
shock? Impossible! Viola must be
J spared-and so with 'ier, Rachel Car
| ter!
In the course of his interview with
the lawyer, from whom he had decided
| to withhold much that he had meant
to divulge, he took occasion TO inquire
into the present attitude of Rachel
Carter, or Gwyn, as he reluctantly
spoke of her, toward him, all open and
admitted antagonist

CHAPTER v
The End Of the Long Road.


We've been expecting you, Mr.
Gwynne," he said in his most genial
manner. "Step right In. Dinner'll soon
be ready, and I reckon you must be
hungry. Take the hosses around to
the stable, niger, and put 'em up. Mrs
-er-ahem 1 mean your stepmother
sent word that you were on the way
and to have accommodations ready for
you. Say, I'd like to make you ac-
Quainted with"
MY stepmother sent word to you?"
demt nded Kenneth, incredulously.
"She did. What would you expect
her to do. long as she knew you were
headed this way? admit she isn't
specially given to worryin' about other
peoples comforts, but, when you get
right down to 1t, / guess she considers
you a sort of connection Of hers, spite
Of everything, and 80 she lays herself
out little. But, as was sayin', I'd
like to make you acquainted with some
Of our leadin' citizens. This is Daniel
Bugher, the recorder, and Doctor Da-
wis., Matt Scudder, Tom Benbridge and
John McCorAaick. Before we 60 in
wish you'd take look at the new
courthouse. We're mighty proud of
that building. There isn't finer court
house in the state of Indiana-or may
be I'd better say there won't be if it's
ever finished"
II noticed 1t as came by" said the
newcomer, dismissing the structure
with a glance. "If you will conduct me
to my room, Mr.. Johnson, f."
Just second" broke In the land
lord. his gaze dxed on horSeman who
had turned into the street some dis
tance bellows Here comes Barry La
pelle, down there by that clump of
ty es. He's the most elegant fellow
we've got in town, and you'll want to
know him."
II have met Mr.. Lapslie," interrupt
ed Kenneth. "This morning, out in
the country"
"You don't say sol" exclaimed John
son. The citizens exchanged general
look of surprise.
Thought you said he went down
the river on yesterdays boat" said
Scudder.
That's just what he did," said John
son, puzzled. Packed some Of his
things and said he'd be gone week OF
so. He must have got of at Attica-
but. no, he couldn't have got here this
soon by road. By glory, I hope the
boat didn't strike snag, or a rock, OF
run ashore somewhere. Looks kind OF
serious, boys"
Couldn't he have landed almost
anywhere Ia a skiff?" inquired Gwynne
his eyes on the approaching horseman
Certainly he could; but why? He
had business down at Coyington, he
said"
"He told be this morning he had very
important business here. That is why
he could not ride In with me-" said
Kenneth, affecting Indifference. "By
the way, is he riding his own horsef"
''Yes," said Benbridge. That's his
mare Fancy. He must have landed al

hoofed 1t up to Fell's farm. But wha
do you suppose made him change hi

"Nope. She don't talk much, she

"Yes." said Kenneth briefly. "She
wants me to come to her houseY'

''Well, I thank you Mr.. Stain. You

They were fording a creek some
distance beyond Stains cabin when
Kenneth broke the silence that had
followed the conversation with the
hunter by exploding violently:
"Under no ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that's
