b i* confidence
that he should
succeed in the
business that
had brought him
into the bills.
At the aban

threw himself
down ami gazed
off through a
narrow cut that
afforded a
glimpse of the
Springs, where
the electric
lights gleamed
as oue lamp.

and he smiled with the thought of her,'
for soon—perhaps lu a few hours—he
would be free to go to her, his work
done, anil no mystery or dangerous
task would henceforth lie between
them. He walked quit* to the brink
of the chasm and laid his band upon
the Iron ratle from which swung the
bridge
"I ahall soon be free." he said, with
a deep sigh, and looked across ths star
lighted hills.
Theu the cable under hla hand vt
brateil slightly. At first he thought it
the night wind stealing through the
vale aud swaying the bridge above the
sheer depth But still he felt the
tingle of tlie Iron rojK- In his clasp, and
his hold tightened and he bent forward
to listen. The w hole bridge now audi
bly shook with the pulsation of a step
a soft, furtive step, as of one cautlous
I.' groping a way over the unsubstan
tial flooring. Then through the star
light he distinguished a woman's fig
ure and drew tiaek A loose plank in the
bridge floor rattled, and as she passed
it freed itself, and he heard It strike
the locks faintly far lielow. hut the
figure stole swiftly on. and he tient
forward, vith a cry of warning on his
lips, and snatched away the light bar
ricade that had been nailed across the
opening
When lie looked up his words of re
buke. that hud waited only for the
woman's security, died on his lips.
"Shirley!" he cried and put forth
l»>th hands and llfUsl her to Urm
grou nd.
A Mule sigh of relief broke from her
The bridge still swayed from her
weight, and the cables hummed like
the wires of a harp. Near at hand
the wuterfall tumbled down through
the mystical starlight
“I did not know that dreams really
came true." he said, with an awe in
his voice that the pausing fear had left
behind.
She liegan abruptly, not heeding bis
words.
"Yon must go away at once I came
to tell you that you cannot stay here."
“Hut It Is unfair to accept any warn
ing from you! Y'ou are too generous,
too kind." no liegan
"It is not generosity or kindness, but
this danger that follows you. It Is an
evil tbiug, and It must not find you
here. It Is Impossible that such a
thing eau t>e In America. Hut you
must go. Y'ou must seek the law's
aid.”
“ITow do you know I dare?"
“I don't know that you dnre!"
“1 know that you have a great heart
and that I love you." lie aald.
She turned quickly toward the bridge
as though to retrace her steps
“I can’t he paid for a slight, a eery
alight, service by fair words Mr. Arml
tage. If you knew why I came*'—
“If I dare think or believe or hope"—
“Y'ou will dare nothing of the kind,
Mr Armhagr!" she replied “But I
will (ell you that I came out of or
dinary Christian humanity. The Idea
of friends of even alight acquaint
ances. being a—ml nated In these Vir
ginia hills does not please me.”
-now do yon etas*try me. please—
with friend* or acquaintance*?"
lie laughed; then the gravity of what
she w as doing changed bta tooe.
“I am Joha Arniltage. That la all
yon know, and yet yon hazard your
life to warn me that I am In danger?"
• If you called yourself John Hmllb
I should do exactly the aauie thing. It
makes not the slightest difference to
me w ho or what you are.”
••y.«u are explicit!" he laughed. “I
don't hesitate to tell you that 1 value
your life much bibber than you do.”
••That ta quite unnecessary. It may
amuse you to know that, aa I am ■
person of little curiosity, I am not the
least conr-erited In the solution of of—
what might be called the Ann!tag*

“Oh. I’m a riddle, am IT

at the absurdity of her last words.
“You are amaslngly impersonal. Too

“Not of me. I hope”—
“Certainly not. But it baa occurred

take rather too much pleasure in mys
tifying people a* to your Identity.
“ITiat la unkind that la unkind.”
an 1 be spoke without resentment, but
softly with a falling cadence. He sud
dcnly threw down the hat he had held
In his hand, and extended bia arms to

“Y«u are not unkind or unjuat Too

what I am doing here. It seeoia an

“The day after may he too lata.

“I hare done nothing to l>e ashamed

‘•Whatever tt Is. snd I don’t care
what It ts." she sakl deliberately. ‘It |
ts something quite eerlous. Mr. Arm) ;
tage My brother" —
She hesitated for a moment, then !
s|>oke rapklly.
"My brother has been detailed to |
help in the search for yoa. He is at '
Shvrm Springs now.”
“But lie doesn't understand"—
"Mt brother Is a soldier, and It Is
not necessary for him to understand "
"And you have done this—yon have
come to warn me"—
"It does Uvok pretty had." she said,
changing her tone and laughing a lit- j
tie. "But my brother and 1 we at
ways had very dilTervut ideas about
you. Mr. Annitage. We hold briefs j
for different aides of the case ”
"Oh. I'm a case, aiu IV And he
caught giadiy at the suggestkm of
lightness in her tone "But I'd really .
like to know w hat he has to do with
my affairs."
"Theu you will have to ask him."
‘To l>e sure. But the government
can hardly bare assigned Captain Clai
borne to special duty at M. Chauve
net's ret|nest I swear to you that I’m
as much in the dark as you are.”
“I'm quite sure an officer of the line
would not be taken from his duties
and sent Into the country on any friv
olous errand. But perhaps an am teas
sudor from a great power made the re
quest— perhaps, for example. It was
Baron von Marhof.**
“flood Lord!"
Armltage laughed aloud
“1 t»’g your pardon! I realty beg
your pardon! But to the amhaaaador
looking for me?"
“1 don't know. Mr. Armltage. You
forget that I'in only a traitor and not
a spy."
"You are the noblest woman In the
world," he said boldly, and his heart
lea|>ed In hliu. and he spoke on with n
Serve haste "You ha\e made saort
floes for uie that no woman ever made
before for a man« for a man she did
not know. And my life, whatever It Is
worth, every hour and second of It, I
lay down before you, and It Is yours
to keep or throw away. I followed
you halfway round the world, and I
shall follow you again and ns long as
I live. And tomorrow or the day after
I shall Justify these great kindnesses,
this generous confidence. but tonight I
have a work to do.”
As they stood on the verge of the de
file by the bridge that swung out from
the cliff like a fairy structure they
heard far aud faint the whistle aud
low rumble of the night train south
bound from Washington, and to both
of them the sound urged the very real
and praetleal world from which for a
little time they had stolen away
“1 must go llack,” said Shirley ami
turned to the bridge and put her hand
on its slight Iron frame, hut he seized
her wrists and held them tight.
“Yon have risked muoh for me. hilt
you shall uot risk your life again In
my cause. You cr.nnat venture across
that bridge again.”
She yielded without further parley,
and he drop|»ed her wrists at once.
“Please say no more. You must not
make me sorry I came. I must go. I
should have gone hack Instantly."
"Hut not across that spider’s well
You must go by the long road. I will
give you a horse and ride with you
lulu the valley." ,
”ll is much nearer by the bridge, and
I have my horse over there."
"We shall get the horse without trou
lile." he said, ami she walked lieslile
him through the slarllghted wood As
they crossed the open trnel she said:
"This Is the Port of Missing Men."
“Yes. here the lost legion made Its
last stand. There lie the graves of
some of them. It’s a pretty story I
bojie some ilny to know more of It
from some such authority aa yourself."
“I used to ride here on tuy |M>ny
when I was s little girl and itresm
aliout the gray soldiers who would not
surrender It was as beautiful as an
old ballad. I'll wait here. Fetch the
horse," she said, “and hurry, please."
"If there are eiplanattons to make"—
he began, looking at her gravely.
"I am not a person who makes ei
planattons. Mr Armltage. You may
meet me at the gate."
As he ran toward the house be met
Oscar, who had liecome alarmed at his
alisence and was setting forth In
search of him.

They went together to the barn aud
