""He had been telling mie nothing. I did not know that Karl Shepard was in the city until I heard a voice excaim: 'Don't be foolish," and two strong hands jerked me back.

I have tried to explain that he hadn't intended me to know that he. was here until he part in your fight over Bess More- land: He thought he couid help me a little in some way to féel right toward you as well as toward him- pelt." "1 doen't understand how he thought he could help you. You are my wife, not his. The only thing he can decently do, if he wants to be a friend to either of us, is to keep away."

There was not one word of sympathy for me, not a pitying question as to the cause of my des palr. Instead there was only black rage against his friend and a stub born reiteration that I was either lying to him or was telling him a story of something that I thought I could possibly carry out, but in which I would have suwely failed in the last moment. * For all the many times that I have told John that I consider- ed courage the gredtest of all virtues I can see that he has always denied both moral and physical courage to me, / No Poaching Allowed, "Well, I'll tell you once for all I will not have any man poaching on 4. my preserves and I ¢an't understand why you should think that Karl Shepard's habit of following you around like a }ittle dog has nothing of great import in it.

"Keep 'it among your treasures," he sneered, do you?!" "Yes," 1 answered, suddenly flar- ing into quick decision, "this letter is one of my greatest treasures for it tells me of a fact of which I had almost despaired---that there is in this world a man who can be unself- ishly sympathetic and if by any pos. sibility he finds hifmselr having undue interest in a woman that can not return it, he tells her so frankly and bids her goodbye.

"1 do not care more for anyone on earth than I do for you, John, but I must tell you honestly that I wish I did not care for you.
