Then bling. with great tears coursing down her she wrote a letter to Brewster. "I hare been married this day." she said, face, she got her writing materials and wrote a short note, sealed it. addressed it “to a man whom I esteem above all others to "Charles Bam.” the name under which I have ever met.

Bear ster, when he had read the note “Poor in mind that it is I who speak and that you hare nercr known me to speak but the Anna! Poor Anna!" frank truth. I am unutterably glad of all that has happened and hope soon to meet your bride. Owing to the suddenness of my own marriage it must remain secret for a time, blit tf you absurdly doubt my word, I refer you to the Reverend Doctor Allen, who performed the ceremony.” When the minister had gone and the strangely united couple were left in the library it was the woman who first spoke. “I suppose you know,” she said, “that it is possible for you to give me freedom without the sacrifice of your life. I would rather be a divorced woman than have your blood on my hands, as would be the case if I allowed you to die as you pro posed. You can go to some far Western State and there take such steps as are necessary. Promise me that you will do as I say, that you will not commit the crime of self-destruction, and that you will come to say good-bye before you go.” The promise was made and Tyler again sought the presence of the man whose life for a few days had been so strangely bound up with his. He found him in a state of wild excitement and happiness. “You have won! You have won!" he shouted. “We both are going to live. I have a letter from Catherine, and what do you think! Wliat DO you think I She is m arried! Don't know v. ho the lucky chap is ; can't imagine! Anyway, I am now conscience clear and a little ashamed of myself—that’s ail! Now what can I do for you? Want to go into business? Want any sum? Name it! I can't do for you what you have done for me. but I can start you in any money-making business you choose to name, and all the old bank clerkships in the country may go to thunder!” “I would like,” said Tyler, after proper congratulations on Brewster’s new frame of mind, “to undertake gold-seeking in Alaska, on a proper partnership basis. If I win, you win also. If I lose, you can stand it. and the prize is worth the risk.” “Go ahead, my boy! i ’ll back you in anything you undertake!” Brewster was insistent that Tyler should witness his wedding, but the latter per sisted in his desire to arrange matters for an early departure and the business details were soon arranged. Tyler then went to say the words of farewell to the woman who, for the time, was legally his wife. He told her of his arrangement with Brewster. “I studied mining when I was in col lege,” he said. “I believe that 1 shall be successful, and perhaps in a few years may be a rich man. Meantime, I will faithfully carry out your wish in the matter of giving you freedom. But if, after a few years, I have won such a fortune that you will know yours is no temptation to me I will return and, unless you forbid, will offer you courtship with the hope of proving myself worthy of your love." “But if you do not care for the fortune which I have, why should I care for the one you arc going to get?” “I don’t think you would. I do not mean that.” “You mean that you would try by court ship to get me to care for yourself?” “That is what I mean.” “Then why not save time hy undertak ing your courtship at once, without going to Alaska? Alaska is a dreadfully long way off.” “But I promised to give you freedom.” “You promised to do as I wished in that matter. I do not want my freedom. I believe in you and trust you absolutely, f am your wife. Are you going to desert me ? Up to this time Catherine had had a very distant and star-worshipping sort of lover, but in an instant that was past, and she was answered by a whirlw ind of hugs and kisses that would have convinced her had she needed convincing that it was Iter- self and not her money that her husband loved. Brewster was both surprised and pleased when Tyler informed him of his intention to wait until after the wedding, and was somewhat mystified a little liter to leant that the Alaska business was off and that Tyler wanted no financial assistance what soever. But everything was cleared up when, on the evening of his wedding, Catherine begged to introduce her hus band to the newly wedded pair “You were for sending him off to Alaska, to be eaten tip by polar bears.” she said, “but I have persuaded him to stay."
