CHAPTER XXIV (Continued).
"Do you by auy chance belong to tho
.Marjland Ncwbolds, sir?"
"Yes, they aro distantly related to
n most excellent family of tho samo
name in Philadelphia, I believe."
"I have always understood that to
be the truth "
"Ah. a very satisfactory connection
Indeed," said Stephen Maltland with
no Uttlo satisfaction. Proceed, sir"
"There is nothing much else to say
about myself, except that 1 love your
daughter and with jour permission 1
want ber for ray wife"
Mr. Maltland had thought long and
furiously over the state of affairs He
had proposed In his desperation to
give her hand to Armstrong If be
lound ber It hud been Impossible to
keep secret tho story of her adven
ture, her rescue and tho death of Arm
strong It was natural and Inevitable
that gossip should have busied Itself
with her name It would thcrcforo
have been somewhat dltllcult for Mr.
Maltland to have withheld his consent
to her marriage to almost any repu
table man who had been throv.n so In
ttmatel) with her. hut when tne man
was so uneceptlonahly born and bred
as Newbold, what had appeared as a
more or less disagreeable duty, almost
an imperative imposition, became a
pleasure!
Mr Mnltland was no bad Judge of
men when his prejudices were not
rampant, and ho looked with much sat
isfaction on tho line, clean limbed,
clear ejed. vigorous man who was nt
present suing for his daughter's hand.
Newbold had shaved off his beard and
had cropped close his mustache; ho
was dressed In the habits of civiliza
tion and ho was almost metatn
orphosed. Ills slijnees worj away as
be talked and his Inherited case of
manner and his birthright of good
breeding came back to him and sat
easily upon him.
Under tho clreumstnnces tbo very
best thing that could happen wquld
be a marriage between the two. In
deed to be qulto honest, Mr. Stephen
Maltland would havo felt that perhaps
under any circumstances bis duughtor
could do no better tban commit her
telf to a man llko this
"I shall never attempt." he said at
iuH. "to constrain in) daughter. I
thuk 1 have learned something by my
touch wtlli this life here; perhaps we
of Philadelphia need a little broaden
ing In airs moro free I am sure that
she would never give her hand with
out her heart, nnd therefore, she must
decide this matter herself. From ber
own lips you shall have Jour answer."
"Hut jou.slr; I ronless that I should
feel easier and happier If 1 had jour
sanction and approval."
"Steve." said Mr. Itobert Maltland,
as tho other hesitated, not because ha
Intended to refuse, but because be was

be vei concerned would civs bis

"I think jou can trust Now bold; there
nro men who knew him years ago;
there Is abundant evidence and testi
mony ns to his qualities, 1 vouch for
him "
"Hobert," answered his brother, "I

Isolation with her, his present bearing
In short, sir. If n father Is ever glad
to glvo away hla daughter, I might
say 1 should be glad to entrust her to
jou. I believe you to bo a man of
honor and a gentleman; your fatnllj Is
almost as old as my own; as for the
disparity In our fortunes, I can easily
remedy that"
Newbold smiled at Enid's father, but
It was a pleasant smile; albeit with
a trace of mockery and a trace of tri
umph In It.
"Mr. Mnltland, 1 am moro grateful
to jou than 1 can Bay for jour con
rent nnd approval which I shall do
my best to merit I think I may claim
to have won your daughter's heart; to
havo added to that jour sanction com
pletes my happiness. As for the dis
parity in our fortunes, wullo your gen
erosity touches mo profoundly, I hard
ly think that jou need be under any un
easiness as to our material welfare."
"What do you mean?"
"I nm a mining engineer, sir; I didn't
live five j ears alono In tho mountains
of Colorado for nothing."
"Praj-, explain yourself, sir."
"Did jou find gold lu tho hills?"
asked Robert Maltland, quicker to un
derstand. "Tho richest veins on tho continent,"
answered Newbold.
"And nobody knows anything about
it?"
"Not a soul."
"Havo you located the claims?"

"Only one."
"We'll go back as roon as the snow
melts," said the joungcr Maltland,
"and take them up. You aro sure?"
"Absolutely."
"He means," said his brother, "that
he has discovered gold."
"And silver too," Interposed New
bold "In unlimited quantities," continued
the other Maltland.
"Your daughter will have raoie
money than she knows what to do
with fctr," smiled Newbold.
"God bless me," exclaimed the Phil
adelphlan "And that whether she marries mo
or not, for the richest claim of all Is
to bo taken out In her name," added
her lover
Mr Stephen Mallland shook the oth
er by the hand vigorously.
"I congratulate jou," be said, "you
have beaten mo on all points; I must
thcrcforo regard you as the most elig
ible of Buttors. Gold In theso moun
tains, well, well!"
"And may I see your daughter and
plead my cause In person, sir!" asked
NewboUL

G ' &
"Certainly, certnlnly. Itobert. will
you obllgo mo "
In compllanco with hla brother's
gesture, Itobert Maltland touched tho
belt and bade tho nnswerlng servant
ask Miss Maltland to comu to tho li
brary. "Now," said Mr. Stephen Maltland
as tho servant closed tho door, "jou
utid I would leave tie joung people
nlone. Kh, Hobert?"
"Uy all means," answered tho young
er, nnd opening the door again the
two older men went out leaving New
bold nlone.
"Hut I don't qulto understand," quer
ied Air. Stephnn Maltland.
Ho heard n soft step on the stair
In tho hall without; the gentle swish
of a dress as somebody descended
from tho floor nhovo. A vision ap
peared In tho doorway. Without a
movement In opposition, without a
word of remonstrance, without n throb
of hesitation on her part, ho took her
In his arms. Krom the drawing-room
opposite, Mr. Hobert Maltland softly
tiptoed ncross the hall and clofed tho
library door, nolthcr of tho lovers bo
lng avvaro of his action
Often and often they had longed for
each other on the opposlto side of a
door, and now nt last the woman was
In tho man's nnns and no door rose
between thctn, no barrier kept them
npnrt nnj' longer. Thero was no obli
gation of loyalty or honor, leal or Im
agined, to separate them now. They
had drunk deep of tho challco of cour
age, they had drained tho cup to tho
vcrj bottom, thej had shown each
other that though love was the great
est of passions, honor and loyalty wore
the most powerful of forces, and now
they reaped the reward of their abne
gation and devotion
At last the woman gave herself tip
to him In complete and entlro aban
donment without fear and without re
proach; and at last tho man took whnt
vaa his own without the shadow of
a reservation. Sho shrank from no
pressure of his arms, she turned her
face away from no touch of his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender hy their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be
tween them, and it was not for a long
tlmo that coherent words came. Uttlo
murmurs of endearment. Utile pas
slonato whispers of a beloved name
theso wcro enough then.
When he could find strength to deny
himself n Uttlo and to hold her at
arm's length and look nt her, he found
her paler, thinner and more delicate
than when he had Been her In the
mountains She had on some witching

didn't know what It wns; ho didn't

caro It made her only more llko an
angel to blm than ever. Sho found
bltn. too, greatly changed and highly
approved the alterations In bis ap
pearance. "Why, Will," Bhe said at last, "I
never realized what a handsome man
you wcro"
He laughed at her.
"1 alvvajs knew jou wcro the most
beautiful woman on earth."
"Oh. yes, doubtless when I was the
only one"
"And If thore were millions jou
would stilt bo the only one. IJut it
Isn't for jour beauty alone that I love
you. , You knew all the time that my
tight against loving you was bated up
on a misinterpretation, a mistake; jou
didn't tell rue because jou were
thoughtful of a poor woman"
"Should I have told jou?'
"No, 1 have thought It all out. I was
loyal through a mistake, but jou
wouldn't betray a dead sister; you
would save her reputation In the mind
of the one being that remembered her,
at tha expense of your own happiness.
And If there were nothing else I could
love you for that."
"And 1b there anything elsef asked
she who would fain bo loved for other
qualities,
"Kvcrytblng." ho answered, rap
turously drnwlng ber once more to bli
heart.
"1 knew that thero would be some

softly after a Uttlo space; "lovo llko
ours Is not born to fall short of the
complctcst happiness. Oh, how forttt
unto for mo was that Idlo Impulso that

thero would have been no meeting "
Sho stopped middenlj-, her fuco
aflame nt the thought of tho conditions
of that mooting; she must needs hide
her fnco on his. shoulder
Ho laughed gajly

"You took that first." answered the

"I found something far more valua

"This!" answered Newbold as he

Wife Who Nags.
Tho worst thing that the bad fairy

fault-llnding wife. The most savory
