dead silence in the
room. Harry's breath

with an attempt at jauutiness. but
with furtive apprehension in every
muscle, for he could not solve the look

David Stires re-entered the" room, went
feebly to his wheel chair and sat down.
I "I have told her," he said presently
, In a broken voice. "Yoo are kind. San

1 "What has God to do with it?" , fell
a voice behind them. Harry faced
about. It was Jessica as be had first
seen her in the upper room with the
: bandage across her eyes.
"What has God to do with it?" she
repeated In a hard tone. "Perhaps Mr.
Sanderson can tell us. It is In bis

"Please" said Harry. .
" He could not have told what he

In .the thoughts that were darling
through Hugh's mind there was none
now of regret or of pity for Jessica.
Ills fear was the fear of the trapped
spoiler who discerns capture and Its
love. It was all he said, for he stopped
suddenly at sight of her face, pain
frosted, white as the folded cloth.
"Oh," she said, turning toward the
voice, "I Temember what you said that
night right here in this very room-
that you sowed your wild oats at col

with a r.urly glance at Harry.

Hugh standing at a carpeted dnis In a
flower hung room, while his own voice
said out of a lurid shadow. "Wilt thou
have this man to be thy wedded husband"-
, "Stay, Sanderson.' said the old man;
then? turning 'to Hugh, "Who advanced
yon money on this aud promised to
"hold it?"
"Dr. Sloreau."
"He profited by it?"
"He got his margin," said Hugh sul
lenly.
"How much margin did he get?" !
"A thousand."
"Where Is the rest?". David Stires'
voice was like a whip of steel.
Hugh hesitated a moment. He had
still a few hundreds In pocket, tut he
; did not mention them.
"I used most of it I had a few
debts." -
"Debts of honor, I presume?"
Hugh's sensibility quivered at the
fierce, grating Irony of the Inquiry.
"If you'd been more deceut with
spending money," he said with a flare
of the old effrontery, "I'd have been
all right! Ever since I came home
you've kept me strapped. I was
ashamed to stick up any more of my
friends. And of course 1 couldn't bor
row from Jessica?"
"Ashamed!" exclaimed the old man
with harsh sternness. "You are with
out the deeejey of shame! If you were
capable of feeling it you would not
mention her name now!"
Hugh thought he saw a glimmer
through the storm cloud. Jessica was
- his anchor to windward. What hurt
him would hurt her. He would pull
through!
"Well," he said, "it's done, and
" there's no good making such a row
about it She's ' my wife and she'll
. stand by me. If nobody else does!"
'No one had ever seen such a look on
' David Stires face as came to it now
a sudden blaze of fury and righteous
scorn that burned It like a brand.
"You impudent blackguard! You
drag my name Jn the gutter and then
try to trade on my self respect and
Jessica's affection. You thought you
would take it up yourself and I would
be none the wiser! And if I did find

his father with hunted, calculating
eyes 33 the old man turned to Harry
Sanderson.
"Sandersou," said David Stires once
mote In his even, deadly voice, "Jessi
ca Is waiting in the room above this.
She will not understand the delay.
Will you go to her? Make some ex
cuseany you can think of till I
come."
Harry nodded aud left the room,
shutting the door carefully behind
him. carrying with him the cowering,
helpless look with which Hugh saw
himself left alone with his Implacable
Judge. What to say to her? How to
say it. He mounted the stair as if a
pack swung from his shoulders. He
paused a moment at the door, then
knocked, turned the knob and entered.
There in the middle of the blue hung
room In her wedding dress, with her
bandaged eyes, and her bridal bouquet
on the table, stood Jessica. Twilight
was near, but even so all the shutters
were drawn save one, through which a
last glow of refracted sunlight sifted
to fall upon his face. Her hands were
clasped before her. lie could hear tier
breathing the full, hurried respiration
of expectancy.
Thou, while his hand closed the door
behind him, a thing unexpected, anom
alous. happened a thing that took him
as utterly by surprise as if the solid
floor had yawned before him. Slim
fingers tore away the broad encircling
bandage. She started forward. Her
arms wre flung about his neck.
"Hugh. Hugh!" she cried. "My hus
band!"
The paleness was stricken suddenly
from Harry's face. An odd, dazed
color, a flush of mortification, of self
reproach, flooded it from chin to brow,
Despite himself he had felt bis lips
molding to an answering kiss beneath
her own. He drew a gasping breath,
his hand nervously caught the bandage.
replaced It over the" eyes and tied It
tightly, putting down her protesting
hands. .
"Oh, Hugh." she pleaded, "not for a
moment not when I am so happy!
Your face Is what I dreamed It must
be! Why did you make me wait so
long? Aud 1 can see, Hugh! I can
really see! Let it stay off, Just for one
little moment more!"
He held her hands by force. "Jes
sica, wait," he said in a broken whis
per. "You must not take it off again
not now!"
An incredible confusion enveloped
him. His tongue cleaved to the roof
of his mouth. Not only had the pain
ful contretemps nonplused and dis
mayed him; not only had It heightened
and horrified the realization of what
she must presently be told It had
laid a careless hand upon his own

gar mockery- It had overthrown in an
instant the barricades he had been pil

cesses of his nature n great wave which
dikes nor locks might ever again forbid.
"What a dear goose you are!" she
said. "The light didn't hurt them in

Your wife will have her sight! Do go
and tell your father. He will be wait
ing to know!"
Harry-made some Incoherent reply.
He was desperately anxious to get
away. His thought was a snarl or tat
ters threaded by one lucid purpose to
spare her coming self abasement. this
sardonic humiliation."

a forger, of my husband!"
The old man groaned. "I didn't
know he had seen her!" he said help
lessly. "Jessica, Hugh's sin is not San
derson's fault!"
In her bitter words was an injustice
as passionate as her pain, but for her
life she could not help it She was a
woman wrenched and torn, tortured
beyond control, numb with anguish.
To Harry Sanderson her words fell
with a wholly disproportionate vio
lence. It had never occurred to him

and actively the cause of Hugh's

David Stires had written the truth.
His heart had gone out with pity for
Jessica, and understanding. The secret
he locked in his own breast, as did
Harry Sanderson, each thinking the
other ignorant of it.
Since that wedding day no shred of
news had come to either. Harry had
wished for none.' To think of. Jessica
was a recurrent pang, and yet the very
combination of the safe in his study
J he had formed of- the letters of her
name! In each memory of her he felt
the fresh assault of a 'new and tireless
foe the love which lie must deny.

conflict shot, throughi-with yet another
pang, for, the waking smart of com

bitter cry, "You helped to make him

That cry had shown 'him in one clarify

of . his : early career reduplicated . as
through the, facets of a crystal, and In
the polarized light of conscience Hugh
loafer, gambler and . thief stood as
tlie type and sign of an enduring ac

But if the recollection of that wed

ways with him if that kiss had seemed
to cling again and again to his lips as
be sat In the quiet'of his study no one
guessed, lie seldom played his violin
now, but he -.had shown, no outward
sign. As time went on he had become
no less brilliant, though more inscruta
ble; not less popular, save perhaps to
the parish heresy hunter, for whom he
had never cared a straw. But beneath
the surface a great change had come to
Harry Sanderson,
Tonight as he wended his way past
the house in the aspens, through the
clatter and commotion of the evening,
there was a. kind of glaze over his
whole face a shell of melancholy.

month's pedestrian outing through the
wide ranch valleys aud the farther
ranges, and ' this should set him up

Now, however, ' as he walked along
he was , bitterly absorbed in thoughts
other than his own needs. He passed
more than one acquaintance with a

was the blsnop.Who tuuned an instant
to look after him. The bishop had seen
that, look frequently of late and had
wondered if it betokened physical ill

At a crossing the sight of a knot of
people on the opposite side of the

on a short pole hung a dripping gaso

bare head, his thin features, his Jong

vehement gestures. A small melodeon

on its front was painted in glaring

zeal of the socialist In bis thinking

inextricably in the great chastisement
ne was preaching now from- his fa
vorite text: "Woe to them th;-' are at

Harry smiled grimly. He had al
ways been "at ease in Zlon." ne wore
sumptuous clothes. The ruby in his
ring would bring what this plodding
exhorter would call a fortune. At this
moment Hede. his dapper Finn chauf
feur. was polishing the motor car for
him to take his cool evening spin. That

transport his audience to the heavenly

Two, three verses of an old fashioned

more of the bystanders, some in real

"Palms of victory! "

Ton once could eat anything you I
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things
which your stomach won't digest.
Your stomach absolutely refuses to
accommodate you when you eat
certain food so you have been
forced by your stomach to eat food
which you detested, and pass up
those delicacies that you would
have really enjoyed.
There is a way now to eat any
thing you like, if you will let Ko
dol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead with its work and di
gest all the food you eat. Kodol
will let you eat anything you like
and all you want, and you won't
suffer with that dull feeling, that
fullness, and wish you hadn't eaten
so much. -
You will not have that heart-burn.
which is so annoying a times. If
you will let Kodol digest your food
a while.
You don't have to use Kodol long
only for a little while Just long
enough for your stomach to rest
a little. It gets tired sometimes.
too Just the same as anybody or
part of your body that works.
Kodol will do exactly what your
stomach does, when your stomach
is well and strong, and more, when
it Is tired or out of order.
Kodol is composed of exactly
