"I aik but one thing,** be said quick
ly.
"And what la that?"
But again he checked himself.
"No," he said, "I am not free to aak
anything of you."
And that answer to Enid Maltland
waa like a knife thrust in the heart
The two had been standing confront'
Ing each other. Her heart grew
faint within her. She atretched out
her hand vaguely as if for support.
!He stepped toward her, but before be
reached her, she caught the back of
the chair and sank down weakly.
That he should be bound and not free
had never once occurred to her: she
ihad quite misinterpreted the meaning
of his remark.
The man did not help her, he coald
tot help her. He Just stood and
looked at her. She fought valiantly
for self-control a moment or two and
then, utterly obllvloua to the betrayal
9t her feelings involved In the ques
tion—the moments were too great for
consideration of such trivial matters
•—she faltered.
"TON mean there is some other wo
man?"
He shook his head In negation.
1 don't understand. ftaere waa
•ome othar woman?**
"Yes."
"Where Is she now?"
"Dead."
"But you said you were not free."
He nodded.
"Did you care so much for her that
low—that now—"
"Enid," he cried desperately. "Be
lieve me, I never knew what love
was until I met you."
The secret was out now It had
Wen known to her long since, but
now it waa publicly proclaimed.
Even a man as blind, as obsessed, as
he could not mistake the joy that il
luminated her face at this announce
ment. That very joy and satisfaction
produced upon him. however, a very
different effect than might have been
anticipated. Had be been free, In
deed, he would have swept her to his
breast and covered her sweet face
With kisses broken by whispered
Vords of passionate endearment. In
stead of that he shrank back from her
and tt waa she who was forced to
take up the burden of the conversa
tion.
"Ton say that ahe la dead," aha b*
gan In sweet appealing bewilderment,
"and that you care so much for me
and yet you—"
"I am a murderer." he broke out
iarahly. "There Is blood upon my
hands, the blood of a woman who
loved me and whom, boy as I was, I
thought that I loved. She was my
Wife, I killed her."
"Great God," cried the girl amased
beyond measure or expectation by
this sudden avowal which she had
once auspected, and her hand instinct
trely went to the bosom of her dress
where she kept that soiled, water
stained packet of lettera, "are you
feat man?"
"I am the man that did that thing,
but what do you know?" he aaked
fUlckly, amased in his turn.
"Old Klrkby, my uncle Robert Malt
land, told me your story they said
that you had disappeared from the
Haunts of men—"
"And they were right. What elae
tfas there for me to doT Although In
accent of crime, I was blood guilty.
I was mad. No punlahment could be
tlslted upon me like that Imposed by
the stern, awful, appalling fact I
•wore to prison myself, to have noth
tag more forever to do with mankind
or womankind with whom I waa un
worthy to so associate, to live alone
until God took me. To cherlah my
memorlea, to make such expiation as
I oould, to pray dally for forgiveness,
I eaae here to the wildest, the most
taaooeaalble, the loneliest, spot In the
range. No one ever would come here

you. I waa happy after a faahlon, or

stretched out his hand as he asked
that last question, almost as If he had
offered It to her. She made the best
answer possible to his demand, for be
fore he could divine what she would
be at, she had aeised his hand and
klased It and this time It was the man
whoae knees gave way. He sank
down In the chair and buried his face
in his hands.
"Oh, God! Oh, God!" he cried In
his humiliation and shame, "if I had
only met you first, or if my wife had
died as others die, and not by my
hand In that awful hour. I can see
her now, broken, bruised, bleeding,
torn. I can hear the report of that
weapon her last glance at me In the
mldat of her Indescribable agony was
one of thankfulness and gratitude. I
cant stand It, 1 am uaworthy even of
her."
"But you could not help It, It was

happy over my departure she clung
to me, pleaded with me, implored me
to take ber with me, insisted on go
ing wherever I went, would not be
left behind. She couldn't bear me out
Of her sight, it seemed. I don't know
what there was in me to have in
spired such devotion, but I must
speak tbe truth, however it may
sound. 8he seemed wild, crazy about
me. I didn't understand it, frankly 1
didn't know what such love was—then
—but I took her along. Shall I not be
honest with yon? In spite of the at
traction physical, I had begun to feel
even then that she was not the mate
for me. I don't deserve it, and it
Shames me to say it of course, but 1
wanted a better mind, a higher soul
That made it harder—what 1 had to
do, you know."
"Yes, I know."
"The oniy thing I could dc
when I came to my senses was
to sacrifice myself to her mem
ory because Bhe had loved me so at
it was she gave up her life for me
I could do no less than be true and
loyal to the remembrance. It wasn't
a sacrifice either until you came, but
as soon as you opened your eyes and
looked into mine In the rain and the
storm upon the rock to which I had
carried you after I had fought for you
I knew that I loved you. I knew that
the love that had come into my heart
was the love of which I had dreamed,
that everything that had gone before
was nothing, that I had found the one
woman whose soul should mate with
mine."
"And this before I had said a word
to you?"
"What are words? The heart
•peaks to the heart, the soul whis
pers to the soul. And so it was with
us. I had fought for you, you were
mine, mine. My heart sang it as I
panted and struggled over the rocks
carrying you. It said the words again
and again as I laid you down here in
this cabin. It repeated them over and
over: mine, mine! It says that every
day and hour. And yet honor and
fidelity bid me stay. 1 am free, yet
bound free to love you, but not to
take you. My heart says yes, my con
science no. I should despise myself
If I were false to the love which
my wife bore me, and how could I
offer you a blood stained hand!"
