Then Enid Maitland found it in her heart to urge Newbold to kill him where he stood, but she had no time if! she could have carried out her de- sign, for Newbold flung the weapon from him and the next moment the two men. leaped upon each other, straining, struggling, daring, battling like savage beasts, each seeking to clasp his fingers around the throat of the other and then twist and crush un. til life was gone. Saying nothing, fighting in a grim silence that was terrible, they reeled crashing about the little room. No two men on earth could have been bet- ter matched, yet Newbold had a slight 'advantage in height and strength, as he had also the advantage in simple life and splendid condition. Arm- strong's hate and fierce temper coun- terbalanced these at first, and with arms locked and legs twined, with teeth clenched and eyes blinded and pulses throbbing and hearts beating, they strove together. The girl shrank back against the wall and stared frightened: She feared for her lover, she feared for herself. 3 Strange primitive feelings. throbbed in her veins. It was an old situation, when two male animals fought for su- premacy and the ownership of a fe male, whose destiny was entirely re- moved from her own hands. Armstrong had shown himself in his true colors at last. She would have nothing to hope from him if he was the victor; and she even wondered in terror what might happen to her if the n she loved triumphed after the Passions arotised in such a battle? She grew sick and giddy, her bosom tose and fell, her breath came fast as she followed the panting, struggling, cling- Ing grinding, figures about the room. At first there had been no advantage to either, but now after five minutes-- or was it hours?'--of fierce fighting. the strength and superior condition of her lover began to tell. He was fore: ing the other backward. Slowly, inch J by inch, foot by foot, step by' step, he mastered him. The two interwin. Ang figures were broadside to her now. fhe could see their faces inflamed by the lust of the battle, engorged, blood red with hate and fury, but there was & look of exultation on one and the shadow of approaching disaster on the , Other. But the consciousness that he was being mastered ever so little only increased Armstrong's determinatioc: and he fought back with the frenzy the strength of a maddened gorilla and again for a space the issue was'ii doubt. But not for long. The table, a heavy cumbersome four-legged affair, solid almost as rock, stood in the way. Newbold : last backed Armetrong up against and by superhuman effort bent hi over it, held him with one arm ar using the table as a support, wrenc hes his left hand free, and sunk his ih gers around the other's throat all up with Armst mg. It & question of time now "Now," Newbold puttered oy hoargely, "You slandered the dead we man I married, and yu insulted the living: one 1 loxe. Take back wha You sald before you die" "I forgive him." cried land. "Oh, him before my eyes." Armstrong was past speech. The inveteracy of his hatred could be seen even fn his fast glazing eves, the indo mitableness of his purpose yet spok in the negative shake of his head. Fe could die, but he would die in his hate and in his purpose. Enid ran to the two, she grappled Newbold's arm with both her ow n and 8trove with all her mighi to tear: it away from the other's throat. Her lover paid ne more attention to her than If a summer breeze had touched him. Armstrong grew black in the face, his limbs relaxed, another second Or two it would have been over with him; ' Once more the door 'was thrown open; through jt two snow-covered men entered.

Indeed the latter It wa was oml; Enid sake Mait for God' don't Kil table to the floor unconscious, choking, almost dying. It was Enid Maitland whe received his head in her arms and helped bring him back to life while the panting Newbold stood staring dully at the woman he loved and the man he hated on the floor at his feet. - § CHAPTER XXIII.

"No," answered Newbold for her, re- membering the struggle; "you fought like a man." * Singular perversion of language and thought there! If two struggled like wild beasts that was fighting like men! KLE It Was the Womah Who Broke the Silence. "But let that pass," continued the woman. "I don't deny your physical courage, but I am going td appeal to another kind of a courage which I be- lieve you possess. You have showed your evil side here in this room, but I don't believe that's the only side you have, else I couldn't have liked you in the past. You have made a charge against two women; one dead and one living. It makes little difference what you say about me. I need no defense and no justification, in the eyes of those here who love me, aiid for the rest of the world I don't care. But you have slain this man's confidence in. a woman he once loved, and who he thought loved him. As you are a man, tell him that it was a lie and that she was innocent of anything else although she did love you." What a singular situation, an obser- ver who knew all might have reflect- ed! Here was Enid Maitland pleading for the good name of the woman who had married the man she now loved, and whom by rights she should have Jealously hated. '&ou ask me more than I can , faltered Armstrong yet greatly moved by this touching appeal to his better self. "Let him speak no word," protested Newbold quickly. "I wouldn't believe him on his oath." "Steady now, steady," interposed Kirkby with his frontier instinct for fair play, "the man's down, Newbold, don't hit him now." "Give him a chance," added Mait- land earnestly. "You would 'not believe me, eh?" laughed Armstrong horribly, "well then this is what I say, whether it is true or a lie you can he the judge." What was he about to say? They all recognized instinctively that his forthcoming deliverance would be a final one. Would good or evil domin- ate him now? Enid Maitland had made her plea and it had been a pow- erful one; the man did truly love the woman who urged him; there was nothing left for him but a chance that she should think better of him than he merited; he had come to the end of his resources. And Enid Maitland spoke again as he hesitated. "0, think, think before you speak," she cried : (To be continued.) Actors to Fore in Movies How irrepressible is personality in the theatrical world!
