old Indifference, so well as,-uii'.i:u
while we were In the jirearnce of

anxious yet Impetuous questioning.
"Captain Wayne," she exclnlmed,
her eyes never once leaving my fuce,
"what does this mean? this tnfiiier
ade? this wearing of the Federal uni
form? this tHklng of another's name?
this being here at all? '
"If I should y that I came hoping
to see you again," I answered, scarce
knowing how best to proceed or how
tar to put confidence In her., "what
would you think?"
"If that Is true, that you were ex
tremely foollxli to take such a risk for
so small a reward," she returned calm
ly. "Nor, under these circumstances,
would I remain here so much an a
moment to encourage you. Hut It Is
not true. This It no light set: your
vory life must He tn the balance, or
you could never assume such risk."
"I would trust you gladly with my
life or my honor," t replied soberly,
'if I had less faith in yon I should

"Shot? On what- authority? Who
