Strength went from his legs.
“ Why. that's a lie !” he choked.
“ That's a black. Infamous —”
“ W alt a minute!’’
She had risen
now. and stood before him. "W h at."
she asked, as though her voice would
break, “ what is your name?"
“ Why. that part’s all right. I can
explain It. I am John Belknap. I

She whipped a telegram from her

She laughed then, with a wildness
which startled him.
“ R ig h t!

She paused, panting.
“ But. Ellen— ”
