Donna continued rlassurV herlf . that Mndeline ' nld not do such a thing. Through ' Z ddception Madeline -bad won the he loved. From her 1, Uers she .Mioed perfectly content o let an ther take htr place at the farm and ' r to see her relatives &iiiiu Donna regretted that she had de 'itroved tlie letters Mndeline had written, for they would have, supplied oof that the trickery had been of St other irirl's planning. Now all she luil to offer was her own word, for '. .fce doubted that Madeline -would tome forward with any statement that '..i.hi blacken herself. Sometime. ' Bonn, wondered if Con knew the ti-utn. - . ' Mrs. rianter went about her duties widi pinclied lips and a silent dis ipproial that eipressed itself in ' tverytbing she did. Sometimes Donna could fffi the narrow eyes studying itrand the girl determined thnt, once lb, nas Bill's wife, the housekeeper : liould be dismissed. ' TM the days of preparing for the ' weddins were, on the whole, happy ! ml. Imf hours with Bill only in ! ttnsed her love for him. Although his I physical magnetism, obvious good I looks and cheery nature had first won 1 ber admiration, now it was those ster- lm qualities of chnracter his sense j tf binor. unselfishness and high prin t pjpl that each day made htm dear I ii The fact that sho knew Bill to be 1 the soul of integrity himself made ! htt even more afraid to tell him what I ihf bad done. t It ws not ao much her return to the j firm after her injury that made her ' fl guilty as it wa. the first deli- berate deception that hnd brought her there. Looking back at those 24 hours vhen she had led Bill to believe she via his cousin, when .he had taken idrantage of the old man's blindness, Donna's cheeks burned with shame. Loving Bill with every throb of her tart and every breath she drew, find lar hii presence dearer thnn life it Hlf, she could not bring herself to riik the loss cf ber happiness when it Itemed so close within her grasp. The night before the wedding, which vii to take place in the little Motho 4it church Grandfather Siddnl had attended since he was a school boy, Donna wrote to Madeline. "I hope the route . hasn't been tinted-and that this reaches you. It's been so. long since I heard from you that I've wondered if you received my hit letter. For a long time I'v. been wttinr to tell yon that Bill and I re (Sing to be married but I've been afraid to. It's sort of the same feeling you have about an engagement, you know not wanting to tell anyone un. til the contract is signed, for fear it will fall through. "It doesn't seem possible that all I've wanted so much is going to be mine a home, a husband and, I hope, children. I love Bill o. Maybe not any more than you love Con, but it seem, to me that no woman could ever love man a. much as I do Bill. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for fear something will happen be tween now and tomorrow morning to prevent our marriage. Yet what could': I'm sure you wouldn't do anything to hurt me and I know Bill love, me, though it took him a long time to make up his mind to marry me. "Wish me happiness, Madeline. There are going to be some tough days ahead. I know, when I have to make explanations, but I'm trying not to think about them. If you ever de cide to come back here, for heaven's sake let me kn-'w beforehand. "Do write, please. By the way, I have to be married under your name. Do you think it will matter much? Does Con know that I'm supposed to be you? Of course he knows that we aren't sisters and that it's your grand father I'm living with, but does he know the rest? "Heaps of love, Donna.' It was this letter, the first he had ever rend of Donna's tlmt opened Con David's eyes to Madeline's deception. One of the wild west riders had gone to the postoffice and brought the let ter to .Madeline just before her en trance cut. Madeline had opened it, read the signature, and, being in a hurry, bad tossed the letter on her dressing table and left the room. A few minutea later Con entered the room, looking for her.. The sheets of paper attracted his attention as be bent to take a Inst glance at his makeup in the mirror. The name "Donna" brought back &U that the other girl had meant to him, and quite shamelessly be read the letter. He crumpled the message into a little ball and thrust it in his pocket. Then he strode out of the dressing room, black fury in his heart. Madeline, at the entrance, turned to smile at him, and thourb his scowl indicated soihethin. was wrong she had no idea that the situation was so serious. During the act. Con flayed the beasts unmercifully, taking a savage delight as he cracked the great whip in their faces and Baw them cringe in terror.- Once he struck Lucy, the Bengal, across the nose and when a streak of blood mingled with the or ange and black of her fur he laughed insanely. - Madeline cowered against the bar red door, expecting at any moment to see the tortured beasts turn upon him. "Con!" she moaned, "Con! For. God's sake, what', the mntter with yon? Stop it!'' He turned, and -smiled- at her, a smile that was more terrifying than the snarls of the wild alimnls. She fumbled with the catch on the door, opened it and. trembling as she had not trembled since the first time she entered the lion cage, escaped to the arena. There was a sudden rour. followed by another and another. Con, blind with anger, came suddenly to his senses and realized his danger. He leaped, caught the door, jerked it open. and put bars between him and the menace, just as Carlo nnd Sander sprang toward him.
