for a long moment the man
struggled with the mounting pas

he tamed quietly, without mak

control himself.
“Come with me now,” he said
coldly. "I’ve taken rooms at the
hotel here, close by. You need
rest—1 can see that—and I must
talk to you.”
Something In his tone stung
her; suddenly she remembered.
She had begged his help and
pledged herself. It was her do
ing, not his, and she was begging
off! Even now, married to him,
she was longing to escape, to
break her word. Had h© found It

who watched the lain of man

Troopeir Charles Slononky, who
investigated the'attack, on the
girl, "arrested" the dogs and took
them to court; Fred H. Cookjutd
James J. Splllane, both news

After injection of the needle
in each dog, an anesthetic'':: was

death. Dr. Moore, who received
scores of snggestitms from towns
people on how to “execute” thb
animals, said his method was ap
proved by the Cortland S. P. C.

The church was almost empty
but there wer© some roses in the
white marble font, a little way
from the group of witnesses,
strangers, two women and a man
—the church sexton.
"In the face of this company,
to join together this man and
this woman—”
Nancy’s mind staggered back
from it. She lifted her white face
and looked full into the min

their look, their odd, questioning

her.

•Her ears were ringing now and
her lips were dry. She had said
it, she had repeated it after him,
chokingly, meaninglessly, like a
parrot. She would see him all her
life with that l>ook in hla hands
and bis spectacles slipping down
hb nose. Bat she had beard her

street with blank unseeing eyes.
All her senses seemed alive to
but one thing, Richard’s presence
and the sharper consciousness
that they were alone together in
a strange place.
To him it was a moment of in
tolerable complexity. He saw the
girl he loved, his wife at last,
young, lovely, appealing In her
evident distress. Yet this, which
should have been a moment of
exultation and joy, was one of
bitterness. How perfect she was,
and she was his. The thought
surged through him and kindled
him like a flame. He forgot the
way of getting her for an instant,
because she was actually his!
