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

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

Catherine begged to introduce her hus
