by an open window nt the bedside;
a fair perspective of tree chid moun

plain, conveyed nothing to her Intel
ligence A formless sense of some epochal
Change lu the habits and mental proc
esses of a young lifetime, added to
her confusion.
Who wua she herself, this atrango
creature who rested here mo calmly

Judith Trine, how came she to ba
there irreconcilable opposltes In
ever phase of character, the sisters
had sedulously avoided association
With each other ever since childhood
they bad not shared the shelter of
tour walls overnight since time be
yond the bounds of Judith's memorv
What, then, had so Ohanged tin in loth
that they should be found In such
close company
What, indeed, bad becotni of the
wild tfilng. Judith Trine of vonterdiiy
Barely she had little enough In eon
toon with this Judith of today, lu
whose heart was no more room for
cry, hatred, malice or any iiuehiirlt
nbleness, so full vvua-lt of lova which,
though it was focuied upon the ay
of one man. none the lasi embraced
all the world- even bar Sister and
successful rival In thut one man's uf

Without warning She had In n nl

In the course of the last few days
But now that the revolution "as no

hardly knew the world Indeed,,
ao differently did she regard I' not
without something of the wide-eyed
Wonderment of a child to find all
things so new and utrunge and 1" eull-
tat
And this was tin- work of Lova!
Now the chain of memories was
Unite complete, no link lacking In Ha
continuity She recalled clearly ever
Incident that had marked the slow
growth of this great lova "he had for
Alan I.aw, from that first day. not yat
a month old, when be had escaped tin
dery deathtrap she had set for him
and repaid her only by risking his life
anew to save her from destrui tlon,
down to this very morning when the
stream from a hydraulic nozzle had
swept over the brink of a three hundred-foot
precipice a crimson racing
automobile containing two desperate
men bent upon compassing the death
of her beloved
By that act of sheer self-defense
the w'orld was richer for the Joss of
two blackhearted blackguards and
Alan I.aw might now be consider) d
sate from further persecution-glnce
there now remained not one soil loyal
enough to Seneca Trine to prosecute
his private war of vangi ance against
Alan. And though that agi d mono
maniac had means whereby he might
purchase other scoundrels and cor
rupt them to his hideous purposes.
Judith was determined that he should
never again have any opportunity so
to do. Though Alan, she knew, would
never lift his band to hinder her
father's freedom of action, she Judith,
meant to tako such steps as his perse
cution called for If there were any
Justice In the land If there were any
alienists capable of discriminating be

deep-rooted mania -thin surely not
many days more should pass Into his
tory without witnessing IiIh consign

She, Judith, would see to that, und
then . . .
The woman sighed once more
Then Hose and A, an would marry
and live happily ever after.
Hut what of Judith?
Hhe made a small gesture of resig
nation to her destiny What became
of her no longer mattered, so that
Alan were made happy in such hap
piness aa be novated
And now the thought Stirred her
sharply that what was to be done
must be done quickly, If at all
And the almost level rays of tba

open wiudow, oounieledabaite If Judith
ware to accomplish tier Intention of
leaving this place and finding her
father again before nightfall
With the. utmost care she rose from
tbe bed, crept to the door of the room
(now recognized as the quarters of the
foreman of the hydiaulic mining out
fit) and out Into the mom adjoining
And there, pulling the door to geully
behind her, she paused ami for many
minutes stood In taaiestrUBg contem
plation of the ina-i she Ion d Alan
Law, asleep In a chair beside a table,
bis head pillowed on lit folded arms
This was leave tailing between them
and be would never know.
Far better ao Judith felt she could
not trust herself to say farewell to
him without breaking down und con
fessing the utter wretchedness that
threatened to overwhelm hi r each
time she forced herself to face the
thought that this parllug must bo
IJko n thief she stole across the
creaking lloor to Alan side, hesitated,
bent her head to Ills ami touched Her
lips to hi" cheek a caress so light
that he slept on In ignorance of It
Then, as she lifted her head and
stood erect, bosom convulsed with
silent sobs, she looked miuurcly Into
the face of Hose.
CHAPTER LI I.
The Old Adsm.
A long minute elapsed before either
woman moved or spoke
TranstUcd beside Alans chair.
steadying herself with a hand upon Its
hack, Judith stared at the llguie In
the doorway, lu a temper at once dis
comfited and defiant With thin she
suffered a phase of Incredulity, was
scarce able to persuade herself that
this was truly Hose who confronted
her Hose whose sweet and gentle
nature hail ever served as the butt
of Judiths contempt and ruthless
ridicule
Here was revolution with a venge
ance, when Hose threatened and
Judith shrank'
It was as If the women had ex
changed natures while they slept
The countenance that Hose showed
her sUler was a thundercloud rent,
by the lurid lightning of her angry
eyes Her pose was tense and alert,
like the pose of an nnlnnil set to
spring In her hand hung a revolve r.
the same (Judith's hand sought the
holster at her hip and found It emptv
that her sister had worn and for
gotten to remove when she dropped,
half dead with fatigue upon the bed
And slowly toward the end of that
long, mute minute, tin1 girl's grasp
tightened upon the grip of the weapon
and Its mu.'le lifted
Remarking this a flash of her one
time temper quickened Judith Of a
sudden with a start she crossed tin
Boor In a single noiseless stride, and
threw he iself before Ut llili r
Wei ! she demanded hotli ' W h it
nre you wul'lug for" Nobody'l sti p
ping you why don't you si t '"'
The upward imminent pf the hand
was clucked (he weapon hung level
to Judiths breast- as level and mi
equivocal as the (lai that probed
hi r eyes and the tone of Rooe'l voice
as she demand' d
What wein you doing there'''
"If you must know from me what
you already know on 'be evidence ol
your eyes I was bidding good-b) to
the man I lova -kissing him without
his knowledge or conaenl before leai
Ing. him to you for good and all'"
' What do you mean'' '
"That I'm doing away that I can't
stand this situation gfl) longer Murro
phat and Jimmy are dead, my father's
helpless and I mean t" see thai he
remains so Nothing, then stands In
tin- way of yi 11 r marrying Alan but
me And no h being the case and
because he's as di ar to me us In ll
to you I'm going to take myself off
and ki ep out of the way '
"For fear lest be find out that you
hue him'"
Judith's lip Cttrjed Do you think
him so witless he doesn't know th.it
already f
"And so you lsvo him to me out of
your charity' Is that It'"
"Any way you like Hut If It 'a to
Intolerable to you to think lhat I dan
love him and confess It to you If
you begrudge me the humiliation ol
stooping to kiss a man srha doesn't
want my kisses- If you ure so afraid
of losing him while I live and love
him very mil. tlon"
With u passionate gesture Judith
tore open the bosom of her waist,
offering her llesh to the mllgall of the
revolver
A cry broke from the lips of Kose
thut was like the cry of a forlorn child
punished with cruelty that passea Us
understanding Sin- fell back against
the wall The revolver swept up
through the a I r but Its mark was
her own head rather than Judith's
bosom.
Hut before her linger found strength
to pull the trigger the man at the
table, etc. tiled from his sleep by the
sound of angry voices, leaped from
his chair with a violence lhat sent it
cluttering to the lloor, and hurled him
self headlong across the room, Im
prisoning the wrist of bis betrothed
with one hand while tbe other W reeled
Ihe weapon away and passed it to
ludlth
"ROM!" bo cried thickly "what does
this mean'' An- you load? Judith "
Dragging the bosom of bar waist
together. Judith lliiusl tbn weapon
into Its holster and turned away
"Ho kind to her, Alan," she said In
an unceititln voice 'She didn't tiniler
sticud and ami I goaded her beyond
endurance, I'm afraid Forgive me
but be kind lo her always!"
Somehow, blindly, she stumble i! out
of the cabin Into the open, possessed
by a thought whose temptation was
stronger than her powers of resist
am e What Kose hud failed lo ac
complish might now sMrva 10 resolve
Judith's problem . None, she lohl
herself hltierly. would seek to binder
her. Hut she meant so to arrange Ihe
mutter that none should see or sus
pect and be moved to Interfile
Hound the shoulder of Ihe moun
tain, on the road along the edge of the
cliff, she wus sure of freedom from
observation
And yet, such Is the Inconsistency
of ihe human animal, the Instinct for
self preservation was elmngcr than

Jumped aside In ample time to escape

tones In spite of tbe fact Hint thn
subject of their rominunlcutlous could
not possibly have heard them
"I'vn come to tell you something,"
Marcus nutiounced with characteristic
awkwardness, "I've known It for
three days ever since tbe weddlnr.
In fact and kept It to invself, not
knowing whether I ought to tell you
yet or not"
He paused, eyeing her uncertainly,
unhappily
"I am prepared," Judith assured
him calmly .
"You're nothing of the port," be
countered. argumentative, "Von
couldn't In- It's the most amiulng
thing Imaginable. . . Hoe here . "
"Well''"
"You understand, don't you, that
Alan must never know (but Kose wus
killed by that lightning stroke'1
"What do you mean"
"I menu," the man floundered mle
arably, "you see, kg loved her so I

you can bring yourseir lo It to let
Is 1 la go on believing It wasn't Kose
who was killed but .ludlth And that's
skutlng so close to the truth thut It
makes no difference the Judith Alan
knew and the Judith I knew In (he
beginning Is gone as completely us
though she and not Kose bad been
killed
After a long pause the girl naked
him quietly I "I understand Hut Is
It possible von don't iindeiHtand that.
If I were to consent to this proposi
tion, lend invself to a deception which
I must maintain through all my life
to come Alan would consider me his
wife'"
Well, tut vou sees you are bis
wife , . Oh, don't think I'm off mv
but I'm telling vou the Plain unvar
nished truth You are Alan's wife.
. . . No. listen to me You reme-ui-her

to elopo with her. and you word with

"Well?" she demanded hrruthlesslv
Haicus produced a folded felloe pa
per from his mat pocket ami prof
fered it.
"Read that It waa banded to me
us best man. Just before the cere
mony H elug It waa addressed lo

of mind to be bothered hi telegrams.

reaelllig It Hut read It for yourseir"
Tbe typewritten lines of the long
message Marred and ran together al
most linlc -Ipherablv In Judith's vision.
None the less, she contrived to grasp
the substance of Its meaning
"WHY niDN'T YOI' WIKK MR
ROONKR." it ran- "MAItKlAiii: TO

The message was signed with tho
name of Alan's confidential man of j
business In New York
When Judith looked up she wns
alone m the room, but for the silent !
patient on Ills couch.
Slowly, almost fearfully, sh crept
to his bedside and stood looking ,lown
Into the face of her husband.
And while she looked Alans laaheg I
Buttered, his raaptrgltoa quick i g
faint color crept Into his pallid cheek!
mm tils eyes opened wide and
looked Into hers
Ills lips moved and breathed a word
of recognitien:
"Judith!"
With a low cry of tenderness thn
girl sank to her knees and em Ircled
his head with her arms
"Judith." she whispered, hiding her
face lu his bosom, "Judith Is no
more . . ."
A pause; und then the feeble veice:
"Then. If I was mistaken If vou
aren't Judith, you must be Kose mv
Wife1"
Hhe said steadily " fjsj your wlie"
Ills hands fumbled with her fine,

so, looking deep Into the soul of i,
