The Man Who Weald
Never Betray
By COSMO HAMILTON ,
ir
(Caprrifkt. ttU, kj l.wU-)
I want you to toll ma. le got my
own Ideas oa the matter. Was Dln-
ton coward or lUr?
There la a woman la the atory, and
Dlnton has a atralxht nose, a fine
muaUcha. and ha atanda alx foot one
la his socks.
Canon Dlnton had one son. Mai.
rurtita on. ri.nrht.r Thair houses
lay near to each other la a village out-
side Gloucester.
Harry Dlnton aad Mary Savernake:
Carbls knew each other by eight before
either waa able to pass the time of
day la words tabulated by Johnson.
For some years they were wheeled out
side by side. For some years they ran
together hand in hand. Then cam
Harrow, and a "school for the daugh
ters of gentlemen" at Brighton. In
the holidays they raced on ponies,
blackberrled and kissed each other in
a brother-and-slster way. Then the
boy entered the "shop," as his father
had wished to do before him, and tht
girl remained at Brighton. In the
holidays they still raced on ponies,
played tennis and golf; but they black
berried and kissed each other no more
in a brother-and-alster way. At 11
they were, very secretly (no one must
know), engaged to be married. Har
ry's mustache could be twisted; Just
half Mary's hair had gone up.
Jove, how time slips oa from chapter
to chapter!
Harry Dlnton grew into a fine young
man, atralght-backed. clean-eysd, hard
of hand. On the great day upon which
he came down to the drawing-room in
hla first uniform he looked every Inch
a soldier.
"Will he do, Dlnton? Will he do?"
said the major, with a slight moisture
In the corners of his eyes, due very
likely to gout
"He's a credit," replied Canon Dln
ton, In the stlffest speech he ever per
petrated, due, very likely, to gout also,
to hla father, to hla friends, and to
the nation."
Eh, Mary my dear, ah?"
Tea, Indeed!" aald Mary, while in
her heart she cried: "He's a man, and
he's mine he's mine." j
And then Harry "Joined," and began
to live aa moat of them live; he bought
things he couldnt afford, and gambled
and paid up with other people's money,
and flirted a little with young married
women. Soon, quite soon, his mental
perspective began to change. The
three figures which hitherto had
dwarfed all others In his sight became,
respectively, "dear old dad," "fuuny
Id chap," "poor little Mary-
Poor little Mary read, and re-read,
and kept hia letters we know the let
tersand laid her flowers, her heart,
her faith, her trust, at the foot of thtJ
pedestal upon which aha had piaceaj
the Image of the man wno wouia never
betray. For you must understand that
Mary was no ordinary girl.
She iu a hero worshiper, an enthu
siast, an optimist, a believer In things;
she wss very simple. So far u she
knew, she bsd never possessed a moth
er, you will remember. Her environ
ment also kept her from becoming as
other girls are. The country was all
she needed. Her garden, her animals,
the management of her father's house,
filled her days. Her dissipations were

failed, to be followed by cut-throat
bridge with them under the green
ahaded lamp. 8he needed no frock..
8he attended no sales. She borrowed
no money. She met no "smart" peo
ple. She aaw no life, but she lived
to her own complete satisfaction In her
dull, stupid village. There were the
letters, yon will remember. (We know
the letters.)
Do not for a moment run away wttn
the notion that Harry did not believe
the high-flown, not badly-worded sen
timents he professed tri-weekly to the
young woman he waa to marry. At
that time he did, although he received
many three-cornered notes from a Mrs.
Tarporley, who kept open house and
posaesaed no available husband. H
aald to himself that the whole thing
waa different: that really ana truly,
M.rr was the only woman In the
world. "One has to be ordinarily civil
dont f see." And so. to the surprlst
of his best paL he stlU continued to
play the game, more or less aceordlns
to rules.
Then came a day when the regiment
waa ordered to India. Harry spent hii
leave at boms. For the first few dayi
the general petting; he received was
very pleasing. Then the crocuet bored
him, and playing bridge for love dldnt
amuse. It was all so quiet so slow,
so off-the-map. There were i many
things he was missing, the opera, with
but that doeant matter: a new play;
a polo ' match at Hartlnghaia. Ol
course, Mary was the most beautiful
girl la the world and an that: but why
dldnt somebody ten her sot to weai
dresses cut In that way? They weren't
worn. And her hair nobody did hair
In that outre manner. Everything Irri
tated him.
"I dunno," he kept saying,, in, as
ashamed way, la the watches 'of tat
night; "I dunno, I'm sure! Dear old
aad need to seem such a grand chap at
one time each a rttstlntn label sua

On the last day of bla leave Mary
took the man who would never betray
to the place where they had flret klaaea

The poor child was on the verge of
a breakdown. Only a very strong will-
effort kept away a great burst of weep.

and full of self pity. They stood si
lently for a minute or two looking Into
the deep, awlft stream, apanned by
rustle brldie declared to be unsafe.
The world waa full of music,

bis arms. "You will write often?

"By every mall. And youf
"Of course."
A tremendous wave of sympathy
came over him, and he klaaed her with
something of the old boylah fire.
Instantly aha flung her arms around
hla neck and told him. Incoherently,
with tears and laughter, what be was
to her, what he had alwaya been, what
he would always be. "I am one of
those queer people,- she said, "who.
having made an Idol, could never see
It shattered and live. If you forgot
me, Harry forgive me, darling, for
auggeatlng such an absolutely absurd
thing I ahould throw myself Into this
river and drown."
"I dont believe you," said Harry,
trying to speak lightly.
"As God Is in Heaven," said Mary.
Not strangelythere ia nothing
atrange In thla world, as we all know-
love took Edltba Tarporley to India,
too. And until his leave came round
again a matter of aonie dozena of
months she and Harry waved aside
the rules of the game.
Remembering the horrible solemnity
and determination in Mary's voice as
they stood by the river, Harry, hero,
continued to write by almost every
mall to the girl he was to marry, hop
ing always, la a feeble kind of way,
that another man would come along
with whom aha would fall In love,
knowing that aha would never In her
life love anyone except himself.
It cannot be aald that Harry was
happy. Mary was. Wasn't she to mar
ry the man who would never betray?
Two days before he left India he
wore to be true to Edltba, and she
hung round his neck much as Mary had
done, telling him that aha waa not
afraid. He would wait till aha was
free, aha knew. I iunk I aald that
hla nose was straight, that hla mous
tach was flue, and that he stood six

His father found In htm a man he
didn't know. A little startled, but not
without pleasure, pride and excitement,
he began at once to cultivate his son's
acquaintance. The major knew the
climate of India, and put the change
down to that Mary welcomed him
quietly and the Canon and her father
noticed for the first time that she, too,
had changed. Here was a woman who

other in saying .lightly cynical thing..
The two oldish men vied with each
with an air about them of knowing a
man of the world when they aaw him.
Mary only looked her remarks.
Presently they found themselvi
Mary and Harry, going instinctively
to the river,
For some time, while the sun set,
they talked commonplaces, but with
aa obvious strain. Then auddenly, as
though she could stand It no longer,
Mary got up and ran to the middle of
the bridge. Its rotten planks creaked
horribly.
"Mary," cried Harry, "come back!"
He made a plunge at the bridge to
take her into safety.
"If you come on the bridge, too, it
WO! break and I shall fall In."
TWhy stand there?" he cried fran-
Lutlly.
Mary spoke very quietly, aa though
saying something she had carefully re
hearsed.
"A week before you came home I re
ceived a letter from aa old school-fellow
who is In India. She la married to
a man In your regiment and knows
you."
"Oh!" said Harry. "Be quick. It's
cracking!"
"She's a woman I hsve never known
to tell aa untruth. She warns me
against you, and tells me that you
aad a Mrs. Tarporley am I to believe
that? Ton know why I am standing
here. I told yon what I should do.
Have yon and Mrs. Tarporley"
For aa Instant Dlnton hesitated; If
he said yea,' there would be no obstacle
la hla way to prevent marriage with
Ediths. If ha said no, he would be
obliged to marry a woman he no longer
loved, no longer eared ahont
"No," he cried. "It's a lie."
. "Oa your honor?" . ' .
- "On my honor as a gentleman."
' With a great cry, Mary made a run,
and, aa the worm-eaten plank gave
way, scrambled up the bank and flung
herself Into the arms of the man who
would never betray. '
