She gave a quick gasp, and the last vestige of color faded from her cheek She looked at him ill a stricken way ?"Last May!" she said faintly Ilarry Sanderson bad been In Aulstou. then, on the day Dr. Moreau bad been mur dered. Her house of cards fell. She bad been mistaken! She leaned her bead back against the cushion and closed her eyes. Presently she felt a cold glass touch ber lips "Here is some water." the bishop's voice said. "You are belter, ure you notV I'oor child! You have been through a terrible strain 1 would give the world to beip you if I could." He left her. and she sat dull.v trying to think. The regular jar of the trucks bad set iiself to a rhythm?no hope, no hope, no hope! She knew now that there was none When I lie bishop re entered she did not turn ber head. He sat beside her awhile, and she was aware again of his voice, speaking soothingly. At moments thereafter he was there, at others she knew that she was alone, but r.as unconscious of the flight of time. She knew ouly that the day was fading 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. satanically cruel and God a sneering monster turning a crank. Into ber conscious view grew distant snowy ranges, hills unrolling at their feet a straggling town, a staring white courthouse and a grim low building beside it She rose stumbllngly, the train quivering to the brakes, as the "This is Smoky Mountain," she said with numb lips. "That is the building where he is being tried I am going there now " The bishop opened the door and save her his hand to the platform. The train was to stop Imt ten minutes He stood a moment watching tier as she crossed 10 the street: then, with the sadness deep in nis heart, entered the station to send a telegram. ? ??*??? Hugh's haggard tace peered after them througli i lift in a window cur tain. What could she l..i>e suspected? Not the truth: And oniv that could lie tray him Presently the bishop would return, the train would start again, and this spot of terror would lie behind him. What had he to do with Harry Sanderson'/ 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 net the wonted buzz about the station The place was silent snve 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 be saw the courthouse. Knots of peo ple were standing about its door wait ing for what? A fit of trembling seiz ed him. All his years nugh had been a moral coward. Life to him had been sweet for the grosser, material pleasures It held. He had cared for nobody, had held nothing sacred. He had now only to keep silence, let Harry Sanderson pay the penalty, and he need dread no more. Hugh Stires, to the persuasion of the law, would bo 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 Jive at ease in some quarter of the world, his alarm laid forever. Hnt n wnrsp thin? wffllM hnnnt him to scare his sleep?he would be doubly blood guilty! In the awful moment while he clung to the Iron bars of the collapsing rose window, with the flames clutching at him, Hugh had looked into hell and shivered before the judgment, "The wages of sin 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. Vet Harry Sanderson was not afraid t>f 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 have played the coward's part. U would repair the wrong he had done Jessica. He would have made expiation. Forgiveness and pity, pot 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 fearfu thing to fall Into the hands of the liv ing God! He made his way again to the dooi and unlocked It It was only to crost that space, to speak, and then the grim brick building and the penalty. With a hoarse cry he slammed the door and frantically locked It The edge of the searching pain was upon him again. He stumbled back to tht couch and fell across it face down, dragging the cushions In frantic haste over his h_-ad to shut out the sick throbbing of the steam that seemed shuddering at the Tate tils cowering soul dared not face. ? ????? ? The grou|w outside the courthouse made way deferentially for Jessica but she was unconscious of It Some oue asked a question ou the steps. uuJ she heard the answer. "The state has Just fluisbed. aud the judge Is charg lug." The narrow hall was tilled, 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 tile Judge's beuch. with Its sedate, gray bearded figure, the Jury t>oi at the left, the moving, restless faces about it. set like a living mosaic. She became aware suddenly that the figure at the high bench was speaking, had been speaking all along: "With the prisoner's later career In Smoky Mountain they had nothing to do nor had the law. The question it asked?the only question It asked ?was. 'Did he kill Moreau?" They might he loath to believe the same man capable of such contradictory acts?the cour ageous saving of a child from death for example, and the shooting down of a fellow mortal In cold blood?but It bad beeu truly said that such contrasts were not Impossible?nay. ware even matters of common observation I'rej udice aud bias aside, and sympathy and liking aside, they constituted a tri bunal of Justice. This the state bad 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 the sheriff touched his arm aud led the way quickly to the door through which he had ijeen brought. It opened and closed upon tb?n>. and the tension of the packed room broke all at once in n great respiration of re lief and a buzz of conversation A voice spoke beside bar It was Dr I! rent "Come with me." be said "Felder asked me to watch for yon We can wait In the Judge's room " ( Chapter 31 j MliANWHILE iu the uar 1 row cell Harry was alone ' with his bitterness. HI* 1 judicial sense, keenly i , j alive, from the very first ? had appreciated the woe ful weakness, evidential ly speaking, of his posi tion. He had uo 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 1 swift There would be scant time be fween verdict and penality?not enough, 1 doubtless, for the problem to solve it- ' self. For the only solution possible was Hugh's dying in the hospital at 1 ?\niston. So long as the otlier lived 1 he must play out the role. And if Hugh did die, but (lied too late? What a satire on truth und jus tice! The same error which put the rope about his own neck would fold the real Hugh In the odor of sanctity. 1 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 mon ument erected by St. James' parish to ' the Rev. Henry Sanderson. In the dock or In the cell, with the death ' watch sitting at its door. It was all one. ' ? He had elected the path, and if it led 1 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 1 of Satan Sanderson the price would be paid. A step came la 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 had taken their places. Their looks were sober and downcast. The judge was in his seat, his hand combing his beard. Har ry faced him calmly. The door 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 ar rived at a verdict?" "We have." There was a confusion In the hall abrupt voices and the sound of feet The crowd stirred, and the judge 1 frownlngly lifted his gavel. "What say you, guilty or not guilty?" The foreman did not answer. lie i was leaning forward, looking over the 1 heads of the crowd. The judge stood i up. People turned, and the rooni was suddenly a-rustle with surprised move ment The crowd at the back of the i room parted, and up the center aisle I toward the judge's desk staggered a figure?a man whose face, ghastly and i convulsed, was partly swathed in band I 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 i oner's: the mark that slanted across ? the brow, the eyes preteroaturally bright p.nd fevered. A pale faced, breathless man In cler > leal dress pushed forward through the i press as the figure stopped?thrust out > bis hands blindly. "Not?gulltj. your honor!" he said I A cry came from the prisoner at the bar. He leaped toward hfm as he fell I and caught him In Unarms. t 1 ne group lu tin' judges cotlui was hushed In ?we?truck sllem-e The loor was shut. but tbruugli the panel*, 'roni the courtroom, came the uiur uur of uiany wondering voices By ho sofa on which lay the man who lad 111:1 do expiation stood the bishop ilid Harry Sanderson Jessica knelt x?side It. and the judge aud those who stood near 111m lu the background tuew that the curtain was falling upon i strange aud tangled drama of life ind love and death. After the one long, sobbing cry of ?eallzatlon, throughout the excitement ind confusion, Jessica bad been itrangely calm She read the swift certainty in Dr. Itreut'a face, aud she 'elt a painful thankfulness. The last ippeal would not be to man's Justice, jut to Cod's mercy! The memories >f the old blind days and the knowl edge that this man?not the one to ivhom she had glveu her love at Smoky Mountain, at whom she dared lot look?had been her lover, was now n very truth her husband, rolled about ler In a stinging mist But as she cnelt by the sofa the band that chafed lie nerveless one was firui, and she ivlped the cold lips deftly and ten lerlv. Hugh's eyes were filming That har ?owing struggle of soul, that convul ilve effort of the Injured body, had lemunded Its price The direful agony i ind its weakness hail seized him (lis ' itlffenlug fingers were slipping from he ledge of life, and he knew It. He heard the bishop's earnest voice | speaking from the void. "I.ovp?cover i ?tb?all?sins " The words seemed to stand out sharply, with black gulfs of i iothlugness between They roused his 'ading senses, called them back to the lutpost of feeling "Not because I ?loved." he said "It -was because? 1-was afraid!" False as his habit of life bad been. In :hat moment only the bare truth re J nalned. With a last effort the dying naii thrust ms nana into nis pocket, Irew out a 6mali. battered. rt??l disk ind laid it Id the other's hand "Satan." he whispered as Harry bent )ver him and the flicker of light fell In his eyes, "do jou?think It will?count ?when I cash In?" Rut 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 ravines of Smoky Mountain laughed In genial sunshine, when the tangled thickets and the foliaged reaches, painted with the cardinal and bishop's purple of late autumu, flushed and stirred to the touch of their golden lover and the silver water gushing thrcfugh the flumes sang to a quicker melody. There was no wind. Every where save for the breathing life of the forest was dreamy beauty and waiting peace. In the soft stillness Harry stood on the doorstep of the hillside cabin for the last time. Below him In the gulch the light glanced and sparkled from the ruunlng Hume, and beyond glim mered the long street of the town where the dead past of Satan Sander son had been buried forever and the old remorseful pain of conscience had found its surcease. In the far distance, 11 tender haze softening their outline, stood the violet silhouette of the end ing ranges, nnd far beyond them lay Aniston, where waited his newer life, his newer, better work and the hope that was the April of his dreams. Since that tragic day in the court room he had seen Jessica once only? iu the hour when the bishop's solemn dust to dust" had been spoken above i. >? man who had been her husband. Uue thought had comforted him?the town of Smoky Mountain had never known, need never know, the secret of her wifehood. And Aniston was far away. About the coming of Hugh in jured and dying to his rescue would be thrown a glamour of knight errantry that would bespeak charity of judg ment. When Jessica went back to the white house In the aspens she would mont r*nlr tnniloPnnca nml crmtiutln And that was well. lie shut the door of bis cablu and. whistling to his dog, climbed the steep path where the wrinkled creeper flung its splash of scarlet and along the trail to the Knob, under the needled song of the redwoods. There In the dappled shade stood .lessica's rock statue, and now it looked upon two mounds. The prodigal had returned at last, father and sou rested side by side, and that, loo, was well. He went slowly through the brown hollows to the winding mountain road, crossed It and entered the denser for est. lie wanted to see once more the dear spot where he and Jessica had met?that deep, sweet day before the rude awakening. He walked on In a reverie; his thoughts were very far away. He stopped suddenly. There before him was the little knoll where she bad stood waiting on the threshold of bis palace of enchantment that one roseate morning. And she was there today? not standing with parted lips and eager eyes under the twittering trees, but ly ing face down on the moss, her red bronze balr shaming the gold of the fallen leaves. * There was a gesture In the out stretched arms that caught at his heart. He stepped forward, and at the sound she looked up, startled. He saw the creeping color that mounted to her brow, the proud yet passionate hunger of her eyes. He dropped on his knees and took ber hands and kissed them. "My dear love that Is!" he whispered. "My dearer wife that Is to be!"

C. \V. Edgerton Kenly, N. C., Jan. 7, 1909. A Positive Cure for Indigestion. If you have indigestion, your food ferments in the stomach and bowels. It does more; it decays, and the nu tritious matter which should go to make new blood decays with it, and this leads to an impoverished condi tion of the blood, to nervousness, billiousness, constipation, sick head ache, bad breath which disgusts your friends, and other disagreeable and unpleasant conditions. And all this trouble is caused by the food that doesn't digest, but fer ments and oftimes rots in the stom ach. And fermentation is caused by the stomach not being strong enough and energetic enough to thoroughly mix the food with the digestive juices. MI-O-NA is rebponsible for tens of thousands of cures. In fact, is is such a positive cure for indigestion and all stomach troubles that it is guaranteed by Hood Bros to cure or money back. The price of a large box of Mi-o-na tablets is 50 cents, and they are sure to promptly re lieve the worst case of indigestion or gastritis. Try them. HYOME| ?
