ending in a cliff, at th e foot of which
an unseen riv er m oaned and chuckled.
“I helped you loyally—you have no

shoulder.
"I could never wish a b e tte r com

“T h at is how I hope you will al­

He was not a kind of m an to talk
sentim ent, and I glanced back In sur­
prise. T here w as an expression ol
peace upon him, such as I have never
seen In a hum an countenance, eith­
er before or since. He sm iled, and,
reaching over, gave my h in d a
squeeze.
“You have th e m aking of a good
fellow in you,” he said. “May the
fates forget your follies.”
We drove on In silence for awhile,
and then the old man rose, kneeling
upon the cushions of the back seat.
"H ere comes the sun, Julius Craig,"
he said.
"T he m ists a re scattering,
and the world comes peeping through
to welcome you back to freedom.
Women and wine and cards—does ths
old sp irit s tir w ithin you?"
"And who the devil may you be?’’
asked th e convict, turning upon him.
"H ave five years changed me so

than It was the night you fled with
her to the yacht In Cadiz bay.”
T he convict gave a m ingled cry,
like a beast in pain, shrinking back,
with his face one gray m ask of fear.
"N ot M ortim er?” he w hispered. "It
can 't be M ortim er. He died.”
“You a re quite m istaken," said
H earne politely.
It all happened very sw iftly—In on«
long breath or so, It seem ed to me.
Craig sprang from his se a t and ran
wildly down the slope; but th e old
man w as not five yards behind him. 1

pace of him, but the cliff turned Craig
to th e right, and the next mom ent

upon the edge.
The flicker of a knife, a shrill, pip­
ing cry, and they w ere gone.
I was alone In the g re a t silence,
save for the fain t m urm urs of the
stream as it fought the rocks be­
low.
It took me ten m inutes and m ore to
reach them , for I had to sk irt th e cliff
until a slide of granite boulders gave
me a path to the bottom. Craig was
dead, th e knife had done its w ork;
but th e old m an was alive, though his
grave blue eyes w ere glazing fast. He
recognized me, and sm iled very, very
faintly.
I raised his head upon my
arm and wiped his w rinkled face with
my handkerchief.
“Is he dead?”
“Yes,” I told him.
“I w as—m anager of a mine— In
Spain,” he w hispered. “My daughter

T here w as no vengeance In his face
now; he faltered on as sim ply as a

His head fell back w ith a long sigh,
so th a t I thought all w as over; but
presently he rallied again, in tho last

with a broken back will m ake.
