And if he stayed there long enough he would —die It was a scheme so simple and so hideous that it appealed at once to his ferocious passion for revenge It would be easy too if only he could get Stenhart by himself ivith all his wily skill In shielding himself at the expense of others all his bravado Stenhart was at heart a coward Ah how well Sherwin knew that! How the shifty eye had cringed away from his cousin’s when he took the oath in court and— bed Lied a young man into prison for life —for what? So that there might be no one to dispute that will the will that the old uncle meant to change in Sherwin’s favor To secure himself In that he had sworn to a lie He stood in the full glory of the morning The far off heights were shorn of their shadows and melted like peaks of gold Into the golden sky By contrast the nearer hills were darkly wooded glancing with lights and shadows and far up an eagle soared Something new and mighty swept into his soul he seemed to hear the voices of the wilderness crying to him: "Vengeance is Mine!” For a single instant his very soul was shaken then he turned and walked to the far edge of the little clearing There through a window in the foliage he glimpsed the lower road running like a white ribbon far beyond the ravine As he glanced down at it he saw a man riding slowly across his vista and he gasped for breath The uplifted moment plunged deep down of his hate —It Into the chasm was Stenhart! He did not question why he came he knew that thus Instinctively the man was on an errand of betrayal but his own heart leaped fiercely he had seen him first he was alone Holding the rope upon his arm he felt for the pistol in knew it to be his loaded and ready With a kind of savage joy he turned and began to descend the dangerous path on the ledge of the ravine and its very danger thrilled him How easy to thrust a man over here— in a struggle! He glanced down at the boiling water far below and smiled grimly either way his weapons were ready to his hand He did not walk fast he took time to order his thoughts the man should have his chance a chance he had never given him to fight for his life Sherwin scorned to stab In the dark as the other did to kill wifti lies! Imprisonment for life — He and he was so young then! thought of the cavern its gloom its dripping walls and he laid a caressing hand on the coll of rope upon his arm Torn with the evil forces sure that revenge of his passions was near he turned the comer of the ledge and saw a figure coming toward him Not Stenhart so soon! a slighter No younger figure a white face clear eyes—Jane! in that reach of Jane looking at his hardened Her face his grim lips wavered courage — which had been high — went down in sheer terror of him felt she her— it suddenly he hated Then having come so far she would not be utterly dismayed She came on weakly catching at the trailing limbs of nearby trees & ‘I guessed where Mae had taken you I’ve come to— ask you one question" she faltered "I—” She could not go on and be would not help her He stood there looking at her and ahe saw only hit Inexorable eyea At last she could she lifted her not endure them shaking hands and hid her face I came to ask you to—” Her voice broke and then rose almost to a cry of pain— "to tell mo that It isn’t true!” "To what purpose?" he asked hoarsely "You don’t believe me I know you sea that Ask Stenhart he’ a with you!” "With me?” She lifted her flushed face and looked at him amazed "What can you mean? I'm alone Sherwin could not doubt her honesty she did not know that aha wa followed "He' behind you” he tald grave"he dismounted on the lower ly road I saw him Just now" She gasped casting a frightened “I never look over her shoulder thought he could ride so far He'll— she shivered— "he’ll betray youl" "It laughed discordantly be new he began that long Sherwin wouldn’t ago— with a lie!” She caught at that trembling "It was UeT Please tell me that tell me the truth- -I want to believe itl” "So you can Convince him?” Sherwin mocked her "He Isn't here I tell you I came alone!” the girl cried excitedly "You came alone? Then come here and I'll show you the horse he rode” §herwin turned as he spoke toward that vista walking back through the trees The girl half dazed by his manner unbelieving that It could be true that Stenhart was with her followed him They turned the shoulder of the cliff and saw the one clear vista of the lower road seen over the cedar that thrust itself out below them said Sher"There’s the horse” win “and there he is! You sec? He followed you he's going back now— he knows where I am ” little cry of "Oh!” Jane gave "He — oh I can’t think he’ll horror ten the sheriff Sherwin’s tone was “Can't you?’ “You led him here" bitter The girl recoiled at that not with the horror she had recoiled before a ?’ NU "She went on horseback— long while ago” Teresa told him Jim thought of the rustlers He shot the Mac?” "Where’s In question at Jose who had come from the stables with a message corrals th’ “Gone down to Meester Keller” "Did you see Miss Jane go?" “Si senor” “You saddled for her I suppose to tell Hadn’t you sense enough aboutl" Mac? Jordan's somewhere "Meester Stcnhar’ go after her ” That Stenhart was Jim stared able to ride at all surprised him but it was a relief to have him with the Jane Lately Jim had felt that with girl was playing fast and loose his friend She would never marry But this news was Max he thought if Jane — a daredevil ridreassuring er— would slow her pace to suit a half sick man she must be glad of Jim walked out on his company towards the veranda and looked the bridge they might be coming home by now The sunshine was for a him it dazzled wonderful moment then he saw Stenhart coming across the bridge urging Jim He was alone! his horse went half way down the slope to meet him "Hello Max” he shouted "where’s Jane’’” Stenhart made no reply he swung himself down from the saddle looking haggard “Come into the house” he said "too many men about out thickly here!” he had a strange Jim whitened Without a word he foreboding toward the turned with Stenhart house and once he had to steady the man on his feet he was so exhausted They entered the dim old hall and Stenhart flung himself into a chair gasping Jim stood In front of him with a set face “For God’s sake speak out Max!” “What’s up? Where's he exclaimed my sister?” with “She’s up the mountainside Sherwin” Jim drew furious but Gently almost in his arms reverently he took Her blue her but with a flush of pride eyes shone “I did not lead him here’’ she said coldly and turned away tumult how dared She was in She he accuse her of treachery? started rapidly retracing her steps "Jane!” would She not turn she stumbled on But he overtook her he said brokenly "Speak to — I thought I was me "Forgive strong but I’m weak I’m a beggar for a word of kindness You came here— tell me Jane you knew It wasn't true of me?” She stood still looking down pale and shaken "You wouldn’t answer me Tell me that you’re Innocent — he lifted her eyes to his— “tell me ou!” and— I’ll believe her strangely He loooked he was still Iron In his will to kill the perjurer “I am Innocent of that crime” he me’ at said She leaned back against the cliff behind her panting her face flushed and her lips trembled “Do you believe me Jane?” he "Had I been guilty asked hoarsely of that— I would never have told you that I loved you” She looked up and their eyes held each other "I believe you John" she said simply For one long moment they looked at each other thus and a strange change swept over the man He felt it without knowing it without recognizing this hidden thing that took possession of him but suddenly the world seemed flooded with light and in it he saw only the face of the girl Gently almost reverently he took her In hla arms Jim Keller ready for breakfast found no one about He shouted to Ah Ling "Get me some coffee! 1 wonder where in mischief Jane is?” he added to himself testily Then his mind went back to yesterday and he remembered her face the had said "Conlittle but he knew her welL found it" be thought soberly "she’s got a fancy for that fellow My fault too I’d no business to have a stranger about a man without cre- dentials” He drank his coffee hastily and ate little Fanny Sewell had spoken the day before of going away Stenhart he tald waa well Jim did not mean to let her go but ahe waa he wanted her to marry hesitating him but she wanted to work two more years "Ridiculous Ideal” Jim ”1 need you more than growled She had not these sick people!” yet appeared and it angered him to feel that perhaps fche did not want a tete Just now He rose from the table thrusting his hands into his puckets and walked to and fro in the hall He began to be more and more puzzled by bit aister’s absence a hard breath He was himself he controlled sat down on the edge of his desk and It at Stenhart looked attentively man to that him occurred might the be in a fever from undue exertion and not responsible your“Will you kindly explain self?” he said gravely “you’re speaking of my sister” "I’m telling you nothing but the truth” Stenhart replied stubbornly "She and I had a quarrel this morning She left me to go out on horseI followed— I had it in mind back to overtake her to try to make It up — you understand?” he stopped his lips and Jim made an biting Impatient gesture of assent "Go on!” he exclaimed Stenhart did not look at him He stared at the bright rectangle of the open door and his Angers drummed on the arms of hlsChair "She was a long way ahead riding fast I followed she didn’t know it Presently she turned into a I mountain trail and dismounted could see her through the trees I got dowm off my horse and followed I thought to overtake her on foot more easily The trail is difficult It I found it bard ascends sharply and she got far ahead climbing heard voices and Half way up stood still — I wasn’t an intentional eavesdropper” He drew a hard breath "I saw them —Sherwin had met her!” "You mean that Jim stiffened my sister going out alone as she chanced to meet this— often does this convict?” Stenhart lifted a gray face there was no doubt now of the misery In “She loves him Jiml” his eyes Jim struck his open hand on the desk "That’s an Intolerable thing for even an old friend to say Maxi” Max met his eyes steadily ‘‘It's the truth Jim!” And then he add”1 know!” ed chokingly: The sheer passion of that cry Its Its bitterness defeat carried conviction For an Instant Jim usustared at ally so even tempered him then be swore softly and seized the Stenhart snatched at his srm “What are you going to do?"
