t|p
l™
tlio bishop, with the
gJt'.jjU man she suspected, was
speeding toward her—to
pass the vor.v town wherein Hugh
stood for his life—seemed a prearrange
uient of eternal justice. When the tele
gram reached her she had already gone
by Twin Peaks. To proceed would be
to pass the coming train. At a farther
station, however, she was able to lake
a night train back, arriving\igain at
Twin Peaks in the gray dawn of the
next morning.
When the traiu for which she waited
came in, the curtained car at its oml,
she'did not wait for the bishop to lind
her oil the platform, but stepped aboard
am': made her way slowly back. It
started again as she threaded the last
Pullman, to iiud the bishop on its rear
platform pecring^out anxiously at the
rec-iding siatiou.

She wiuced. "Does Aniston know?"

lie answered. "Yesterday's

She put her hand on his arm. "Can
you guess why 1 was coming liomeV"
she asked. "It was to tell Harry San
derson! 1 know of the lire," she went
oil quickly, "and of his injury. 1 can
guess you want Jo spare him strain or
excitement, but I must tell him!''
lie reflected a momeut. lie thought
he guessed what was iu her mind. If
there was any one who had ever had
an intluence over Hugh for good it was
Hurry Sanderson. He himself, he
thought, had none. Perhaps, remem
bering their old comradeship, she was
3o: iving now to have this inllucnco ox
er! to bring Hush to a better mind,
thinking of his eternal welfare, of his
mii'-iiig Ids peace with his Maker.
"Very well," he said. "Come," and
led the way into the car.

fetaud face to face with
Harry. Snnderson tbut
i?
vestige" of color "faded from" her cheek.
She looked at him in a stricken way.
"Last May!" she said faintly. Harry
Sanderson had been in Anistoh, then,
on the'day Dr. Moreau had been mur
dered. Her house of cards fbll. She
had been mistaken! She leaned her
head back against the cushion and
closed her eyes.
Presently she felt a cold glass touch
her lips. "Here 4s some water," the
bishop's voice said. "You are better,
are you not? Poor child! You have
been through a terrible strain. I
would give the world to help you If I
could."
He left her, and she sat dully tryiug
to think. The regular jar of the trucks
had set itself to a* rhythm—no hope, no
hope, no hope! She knew now that
there was none. When the bishop re
entered she did not turn her head. He
sar. beside" her awhile, aud she was
aware again of his voice, speaking
soothingly. At moments thereafter he
was there, at others she knew that she
was alone, but was unconscious of the
flight of time. She knew only that the
day was fadiug. On the chilly whirl
ing landscape she saw only a crowded
room, a jury box, a judge's bench and
Hugh before it, listening to the sen
tence that would take him from her
forever. The bright sunlight was mer
cilessly, satauically cruel and God a
sneering monster turning a crank.
Into her conscious view grew distant
snowy ranges, hills uurolling at their
feet, a straggling town, a staring white
courthouse and a grim low building
beside it. She rose stumblingly, the
train quivering to the brakes, as the
bishop entered.
"This is Smoky Mountain," she said
with numb lips. "That Is the building
where ho is being tried. I am going
there now."
The bishop opened the door and gav^
her his hand to the platform. The
train was to stop but teu minutes. He
stood a moment watching her as she
crossed to the street then, with thcr
sadness deep In his heart, entered the
station to send a telegram.
Hugh's haggard face peered after
them through a rift in a window cer
tain. What could she have suspected?
Not the truth! And only that could be
tray him. Presently the bishop would
return, the train would start again, and
this spot of terror would be behind
him. What had he to do with Harry
Sauderson?
He bethought himself suddenly of
the door. If some one should come in
upon him! With a qualm of fear he
stood up. staggered'to it and turned the
key in the lock. There was not the
wonted buzz about the station. The
place was silent save for the throb of
the halted engine, and the shadow of
the train on the frosty- platform quiv
ered like a criminal. A block away
he saw the courthouse. Knots of peo
ple were standing about its door wait
ing for what? A lit of trembling seiz
ed him.
All his years Hugh had beeu a moral
coward. Life to him had beeu sweet
for the grosser, material pleasures It
held. He had cared for nobody, had
held nothing sacred- He had now ouly
to keep sileiice, let Harry Sanderson
pay the penalty, and he need dread nc
more. Hugh Stires, to the persuasion
of the law, would be dead. As soon as
might be he could disappear, as the
rector of St. James' had disappeared be
fore. He might change his name and
live at ease in some quarter of the
world, his alarm laid forever.
Cut a worse thing would haunt him
to scare his sleep—he would be doubly
blood guilty!
In the awful moment while he clung
to the irou bars of the collapsing rdse
window, with the flames elutchiug at
hiui, Hugh had looked into hell aud
shivered before the judgment, "The
wages of siu is death." In that fiery
ordeal the cheapness and swagger, the
ostentation and self esteem, had burn
ed away, and his soul had stood
naked as a winter wood. Dying had
not then'been the austere terror. What
came after? That had appalled him.
Yet Harry Sanderson was not afraid
of the hereafter. He chose death calm
ly, knowing that he, Hugh, was unfit
to die.
Suppose he told the truth now and
saved Harry. He had never done a
brave deed for the sake of truth or
righteousness or for the love of any
human being, but he could do one now.
For the one red counter that had been
a symbol of a day of evil living he
could render a deed that would make
requital for those unpaid days. He
would not lia.ve played the coward's
part. It would repair the wrong he
had done Jessica. He would have
made expiation. Forgiveness and pity,
not reproaches and shame, would fol
low him, and it would balance perhaps
the one dreadful count that stood
against him. He thought of the scaf
fold and shivered, yet there was a
more terrible thought: It is a fearful
thing to fall into the hands of the liv
ing God!
lie made his way again to the door
and unlocked it. It was only to cross
that space, to speak, and then the
grim brick building and the penalty.
With a hoarse ':ry he slammed the
door and frantically locked it. The
edge of the searching pain was upon
him again. He stumbled back to the
couch and fell across it face down,
dragging the cushions lu frantic haste
over ills head to shut out the sick
throbbing of the steaiu tlmt seemed
shuddering at the fate his cowering
soul dared not face.
The groups outside the courthouse
made way deferentially for Jessica
but she was unconscious of It. Some
one asked a question on the steps, and
she heard the answer, "The state has
just finished, and the judge Is charg
ing."
The narrow hall was filled, and,
though all who saw gave her Instant
place, the space beyond the inner door
was crowded beyond the possibility of
passage. She could see the judge's
bench, with its sedate, gray bearded
figure, the jury box at the left, the
moving, restless faces about it, set like
a living mosaic.
jShe became aware suddenly that the
figure at the high bench was speakiug,
had been speakiug ait along:
"With the prisoner'# later career In
Smoky Mountain ihcv had nothing to
do nor had the hnv. The quoHtioi! 1|
asked—the only question It&sfced—was,
'jpid he kill Moreen?' Tlx*/ jplgbt Jhp
iotrth to fcelieYfe the satrtfe mnb babiMe
of such contradictory acts—the 'cour
ageous saving of a child from death,
for example, nnd the shooting down of
a fellow mortal- in cold blood—btit it
had been truly said that such contrasts
were not impossible—nay. were even
matters of common observation. Prej
udice and bias aside, and sympathy
and liking aside, they constituted a tri
bunal of justice. This the state had a
right to demand, and this they, the
jury, had made solemn oath to give."
The words had no meaning for her
ears. "What did he say?" she whis
pered to herself piteously. She caught
but a glimpse of the prisoner as tho
sheriff touched his arm and led the
way quickly to the door through which
he had been brought
It opened and closed upon them, and
the tension of the packed room broke
all at once in a great respiration of re
lief and a buzz of conversation.
A voice spoke beside her. It was Dr.
Brent "Come with me," he said.
"Felder asked me to watch for you.
We can wait in the judge's room."
Chapter 31J
EANWHILE in the nar
row cell Harry was alone
with his bitterness. His
judicial sense, keenly
alive, from tlie very first
K? had appreciated the woe
Pul weakness, evidential
I ly speakhig, of his posi
tion. He had no illusions on this score.
A little while—after such deliberation
as was decent and seemly—and he
would be a condemned criminal, wait
ing In the shadow of the hempen
noose. In such localities justice was
swift There would be scant time be
tween verdict and penality—not enough,
doubtless, for the problem to' solve It
self. For the only solution possible
was Hugh's dying in the hospital at
Aniston. So long as the other lived
be must play out the role.
And If Hugh did die, but died too
late? What a satire on truth aud jus
tice! The same error which put the*
rope about his own neck would fold
the real Hugh In the odor of sanctity.
He would lie in the little jail yard In
a felon's grave, and Hugh in the ceme
tery on the hill beneath a marble inon
ument erected by St. James' parish to
the Rev. Henry Sanderson. In the
dock or In the ceil, with the death
watch sitting nt its door, It was all one.
He had elected the-patb, and If it led
to the bleak edge of life, to the barren
abyss of shame, he must tread It. He
was powerless to help himself still. He
had given over his life into the keep
ing of a power in which his better
manhood had trusted. If It exacted
the final tribute for those ribald years
of Satan Sanderson the price would be
paid.
A step came in the corridor. A voice
spoke his name. The summons had
come.
Before the opening of the door the
hum of voices In the courtroom sank
to stillness itself. The jury bad taken
their places. Their looks were sober
and downcast. The judge was in his
seat, his hand combing bis beatd. Har
ry faced him calmly. The d&or of a
side room was partly open, and a
girl's white face looked In, but he did
not see.
"Gentlemen of the jury, have you ap
rived at a verdict?"
"We have.**
There was a confusion In ttfe'ball—
abrupt voices and the souud of feet
The crowd stirred, and the Judge
frowningly lifted his gavel.
"What say you, guilty or not guilty?"
The foreman did* not answer. He
was leaning forward, looking over the
heads of the crowd. The judge stood
up. People turned, and the room was
suddenly a-rustle with surprised move
ment. The crowd at the back of the
room parted, and up the center aisle
toward the judge's desk staggered a
figure—a man whose face, ghastly and
convulsed, was partly swathed in band
ages. At the door of the judge's room
a girl stood transfixed and staring.
The crowd gasped. They saw the
familiar profile, a replica of the pris
oner's the mark that slanted across
the brow, the eyes preternaturally
bright and fevered.
A pale faced, breathless man In cler
ical dress pushed forward through the
press as the figure stopped—thrust out
his hands blindly.
"Not—guilty, your honor!" he said.
A cry came from the prisoner at the
bar. He leaped toward him as he fell
and caught him in his arms.
The group in the judge's room was
hushed in awestruck silence. The
door was shut, but through the panels,
from the courtroom, came the mur
mur of many wondering voices By
the sofa on which lay the mah who

had made expiation stood the bishop
and Harry Sanderson. .Jessica knelt
beside it, and the Judge and those who
stood near him lu the background
knew that the curtain was falling upon
a strange and tangled drama of life
and love and death.
After the one long, sobbing cry of
realization, throughout the excitement
and confusion, Jessica bud been
strangely calm. She read the swift
certaluty iu Dr. Breut's face, and she
felt a painful thankfulness. The last
appeal would not be to man's justice,
but to God's mercy! The memories
of the old blind days and the knowl
edge that this man—not the on4 to
whom she had given her love at
Smoky Mountain, at whom she tlarpjd

A picture of the Klondike, a story of the con

rible wrong, heart hunger unsatisfied and love
that sweeps away every barrier. Poleon, the
Great Heart, the character who caught the ar

rowing struKjlle of soul, tbat convul
sive effort of tho Injured body, had
demanded lis price. The direful agony
and Its weakness had seized him. His
stiffening fingers wore slipping from
the ledge of life, and he knew it.
He heard the bishop's earnest voice
speaking from the void, "Love—cover
eth—all—sins." The words seemed to
stand out sharply, with black gulfs of
nothingness between. They roused his
fading senses, called them back to the
outpost of feeling.
"Not because I—loved," he said. "It
—was because—I—was afraid!"
False as his habit of life had been, in
that moment only the bare truth re
mained. With a last effort the dying
man thrust his hand into his pocket,'
drew out a small, battered, red dink
and laid it In the other's hand.
"Satan," be whispered as Harry bent
over him and the flicker of light fell In
tls eyes, "do you—think It will—count
—when I cash In?"
But Harry's answer Hugh did not
hear. He had passed out of the sound
of mortal speech forever.

There came a day when the brown

thickets and the foliaged reaches,
painted with the cardinal nnd bishop's

stirred to the touch- of their golden

.where the dead past of Satan Sander
sou bud been burled forever and the
old remorseful pain of conscience bad
found its surcease. Iu the far distance,
a tender huge softening their outline,
stood the violet silhouette of the end'

Aniston, where waited bis uewer life,
his newer, better work and the hope
that was the A^irli of his dreams.
