CHAPTER vn.
A CHOICE BETWEEN WEDLOCK AND THE
GALLOWS.
“Wait a moment. I must speak to
you.”
It was Amabel who was holding
Frederick back. She had caught him
by the arm as he was about leaving
the room with Ids father, and he felt
himself obliged to stop and listen.
“I start for Spriuglield today,” she
announced. “I have another relative
there living at the house. When
shall I have the pleasure of seeing you
iu my new home?”
“Never.” It was said regretfully and
yet with a certain brusqueness occa
sioned perhaps by overexcited feeling.
“Hard as it is for me to sny it, Ama
bel, It Is but just for me to tell you that
after our parting here today we will
meet only as strangers. Friendship
between us would be mockery, and any
closer relationship has become Impos
sible.”
It bad cost him an immense effort to
say these words, and he expected, fond
ly expected, I must admit, to sec her
color change and her head droop. But
Instead of this she looked at him stead
ily for a moment, then slipped her
hand down bis arm till she reached his
palm, which she pressed with sudden
warmth, drawing him into the room as
she did so and shutting the door behind
them. He was speechless, for she nev
er had looked so handsome or so glow
ing. Instead of showing depression or
humiliation even she confronted him
with a smile more dangerous than any
display of grief could have been, for It
contained what it bad hitherto lacked,
positive and Irresistible admiration.
Her words were equally dangerous.
“1 kiss your hand, as the Spaniards
say.” And she almost did so, with u
bend of her head which Just allowed
him to catch a glimpse of two startling
dimples.
He was astounded. He thought he
knew this woman well, hut at this mo
ment she was as incomprehensible to
bim as if he had never made a study of
her caprices and ever shifting expres
sions.
“I am sensible of the honor,” said he,
“hut hardly understand how 1 have
earned it.”
Still that Incomprehensible look of
admiration continued to Illumine her
fare.
“I did not know I could ever think so
well of you,” she declared. “If you do
not take care, 1 shall end by loving you
some day.”
“Ah,” he ejaculated, his face con
tracting with sudden pain, “your love,
then, is but a potentiality! Very well,
Amabel, keep It so and you will be
spared much misery. As for me, wbo
have not been as wise as you”—
“Frederick!” She had come so near
he did uot have the strength to finish.
Her face, with its indefinable charm,
was raised to his, as she dropped these
words one by one from her lips In lin
gering cadence, “Frederick—do you
love me, then, so very much?”
lie was angry; possibly because he
felt his resolution falling him. “You
know!” he hotly began, stepping back.
Then with a sudden burst of feeling
that was almost like prayer he re
sumed: “Do uot tempt me, Amabel. 1
have trouble enough without lament
ing the failure of my first steadfast
purpose.”
“Ah,” she said, stopping where she
was, but drawing him toward her by
every witchery of which her mobile
features were capable, “your generous
Impulse has strengthened into a pur
pose, has It? Well, I’m not worth It.
Frederick.”
More and more astounded, under
standing her less than ever, but charm
ed by looks that would have moved an
anehorlte, be turned bis bead away In
a vain attempt to escape an influence
that was so rapidly undermining bis
determination.
She saw the movement, recognized
the weakness It bespoke, and In the
triumph of her heart allowed a low
laugh to escape her.
Her voice, as I have before said, was
uumuslcal though effective, but her
laugh was deliciously sweet, especially
when It was restrained to a mere rip
ple, ns uow.
“You will come to Springfield soon,”
she avowed, slipping from before him
so ns to leave tbo way to the door
open.
“Amabel!” His voice was strangely
husky, and the Involuntary opening
and shutting of his hands revealed the
emotion under which he was laboring.
“Do you love me? You have acknowl
edged It now and then, but always as
If you did not mean It. Now you ac
knowledge that you may some day and
this time ns If you did mean It. What
Is the truthf Tell me without coquet
ry or dissembling, for I am In dead ear
nest, and”— He paused, choked and
turned toward the window, where but
a few minutes before he had taken
that solemn oath. The remembrance
of It seemed to come back with the
movement Flushing with a new agi
tation, he wheeled upon her sharply.
“No, no," he prayed; “say nothing. If
you swore you did not love me, I
should not believe It, and If you swore
that you did I should only find It hard
er to repeat what must again be said,
that a union between us can never take
place. 1 have given my solemn prom
ise to”—
“Well, well! Why do you stop? Am
I so hard to talk to that the words will
not leave your lips?”
”1 have promised my father I will
never marry you. He feels that he has
grounds of complaint against you, and
ns I owe him everything”—
He stopped, amazed. Hhe was look- 1
lug at him Intently, that same low
laugh still on her lips.
’Tell the truth," she whispered. “I
know to what extent you consider your
father's wishes. You think you ought
not to marry after what took place last
night. Frederick, I like you for this
evidence of consideration on your part,
but (hi not struggle too relentlessly
with your conscience. I can forgive
much more In you than you think, and
if you really love mo”—
- “Ptpp! Unt u# uoder'tfrBd HCJ) j)Ui-
tr." TTe luiT tin tu n moiTiuTy pnTe ami
met her eyes with something akin to
alarm. "What do you allude to In
speaking of last night? 1 did not know
there was anything said by us In our
talk together”—
“I do not allude to our talk.”
"Or—or in the one dance we had”—
“Frederick, a dance is innocent.”
The word seemed to strike bhn with
the force of a blow.
“Innocent,” he repeated, “Innocent.”
becoming paler still as the full weight
of her meaning broke gradually upon
him.
“I followed you into town,” she whis
pered, coming closer and breathing the
words into Ids ear. “But what I saw
you do there will not keep me from
obeying you if you say: ‘Follow me
wherever I go, Amabel. Henceforth
our lives are one.’ ”
“My God!”
It was all he said, but it seemed to
create a gulf between them, lu the si
lence that followed the evil spirit la
tent beneath her beauty began to make
Itself evident even lu the smile which
no longer called Into view the dimples
which belong to guileless mirth, while
upon Ids face after the first paralyzing
effect of her words had passed there
appeared an expression of manly re
sistance that betrayed a virtue which
as yet had never appeared In his selfish
and altogether reckless life.
That this was more than a passing
Impulse he presently made evident by
lifting his hand and pushing her slow
ly back.
“1 do not know what you saw me
do,” said he, “hut whatever it was It
can make no difference In our rela
tions.”
Her whisper, which had been but a
breath before, became scarcely audi
ble.
“1 did not pause at the gate you en
tered,” she said. “I went In after you.”
A gasp of irresistible feeling escaped
him. but he did uot take his eyes from
her face.
“It was a long time before you came
out.” she went on, “but before that
time the shade of a certain window
was thrust aside and”—
"Hush!” be commanded, in uncon
trollable passion, pressing his hand
with Impulsive energy against her
mouth. “Not another word of that or
I shall forget you are a woman or that
I have ever loved you.”
Her eyes, which were all she had re
maining to plead with, took on a pecul
iar look of quiet salisfuctlou and pow
er. Seeing It, he lot Ills band fall and
for the first time began to regard her
with anything but a lover’s eyes.
“I was the ouly person In sight at
that time,” she continued. “You have
nothing to fear from the world at
large.”
“Fear?"
The word made Its own echo. She
had no need to emphasize it even by a
smile. But she watched him as It
sunk Into his consciousness with an
lutentness It took all his strength to
sustain. Suddenly her bearing and ex
pression changed. The few remains of
sweetness lu her face vanished, and
even the allurement which often lasts
when the sweetness Is gone disappear
ed In the energy which now took pos
session of her whole threatening and
inflexible personality.
“Marry me,” she cried, “or I will
proclaim you to be the murderer of
Agatha Webb!”
She had seen tliu death of love In
his eyes.
CHAPTER VTII.
THE HOLLOW TREE.
Frederick Sutherland was a man of
finer mental balance than ho himself
perhaps had ever realized. After the
first few moments of stupefaction fol
lowing the astounding alternative
which had been given hbn be broke
out with the last sentence she probably
expected to hear.
“What do you hope from a marriage
with me that to attain your wishes you
thus sacrifice every womanly Instinct?”
She met him on his own ground.
“What do I hope?” She actually
glowed with the force of her secret de
sire. “Can you ask a poor girl like me,
born In a tenement house, but with
tastes and ambitions such as are usual
ly only given to those who can gratify
them? I want to be the rich Mr. Suth
erland’s daughter, acknowledged or un
acknowledged the wife of one who can
enter any house In Boston as an equal.
With a position like that 1 can rise to
anything. 1 feel that l have the natu
ral power and aptitude. 1 have felt it>
since 1 was n small child.” >
“And for that”— he begaft.
"And for that,” she broke In, “I am
quite willing to overlook any dark spot
on your record. Confident that you will
never repeat the risk of lust night, L
am ready to share the burden of your
secret through life. If you treat me
well, 1 am sure 1 can make It light for
you.”
With a quick flush an increase of
self assertion she had probably not an
ticipated, be faced her with a desper
ate resolution that showed how hand
some he could be If bis soul once got
control of his body.
“Woman,” he cried, “they were right.
You are little less than a devil.”
Did she regard It us a compliment?
Her smile would seem to say so.
“A devil that understands men,” she
answered with that slow dip of her
dimples that made her smile so danger
ous. “You will not hesitate long over
this matter; a week perhaps.”
”1 shall not hesitate at all. Seeing
’ou as you are makes my course easy.
You will never share any burden with
me as my wife.”
Still she was not abashed.
“It lu a pity.” she whispered. “It
would have saved you such unnecessa
ry struggle. But a week Is not long to
wait. 1 am certain of you then. This
day week at 12 o’clock, Frederick.”
He seized her by the arm and, lost to
everything but his rage, shook her with
a desperate hand.
“Do you mean It?” he cried, a sudden
horror showing itself lu his face, not-
(wlthutandlng his efforts to conceal It.
“I mean It so much,” she assured
him, “that before I came homo Just
now I paid a visit to the copse over the
way. A certain hollow tree where
you and I have held more than one
tryst conceals within Its depths a pack
age containing over $1,000. Frederick,
I hold your life lu my bands.”
The grasp with which he held her re-
A mortal despair settled upon
l.is features, and recognizing the im
possibility of further concealing the ef
fect of her words upon him, he sank In
to u chair and covered his face with
h!u hands. Hhe viewed him with au air
o' iflumph, whU't) brought back some
(
of her beauty. “When she spoke, 11 wa's
to sny:
“If you wish to join me In Springfield
before the time 1 have set, well and
good. 1 am willing that the time of out
separation should be shortened, but It
must, uot he lengthened by so much as
u day. Now, if you will excuse me, I
will go and pack my trunks.”
He shuddered. Her voice seemed to
cut through him like a kuife.
Drawing herself no, she looked down
on him with a strange mixture of pas
sion and elation.
“You need fear no indiscretion on my
part so long as our armistice lasts,”
said she. “No one can drag the truth
from in ■ while any hone remains of
your doing your duty by uie in the
way I have suggested.”
And still he did not move.
“Frederick.”
Was It her voice that wns thus mur
muring his name? Can the tiger snarl
one moment and coo the next?
"Frederick, I have u final word to
say, a last farewell. Up to this hour I
have endured your attentions, or, let
us say, accepted them, for I always
found you handsome and agreeable, if
^ Woman, they were right; you arc little
less than a tievil,”
not the master of my heart. T»ut now,
uow It Is love that I feel, love. And
love with me Is no fancy, but a pas
sion. Do you bear? A passion which
will make life a heaven or hell for the
man who has Inspired It. You should
have thought of this when you opposed
me.”
And with a look In which was blend
ed something of the light and dark
ness of the two alternatives she had
promised him she bent am! imprinted
a kiss upon bis forehead. The next
moment she was gone.
Or so lie thought. But when, after
an Interval of nameless recoil, he rose
and attempted to stagger from the
place, he discovered that she had been
detained lu the hall by two or three
men who had just come In by the front
door.
“Is this Miss Page?” they were ask
ing.
“Yes, I am Mins Page—Amabel
Page,” she replied, with suave polite
ness. “If you have any business with
me, state It quickly, for I am about to
leave town.”
“That is what we wish to prevent,”
declared a tall, thin young man who
seemed to take the lend. “Until the
Inouest has boon held over the remains
of Mrs. Webb, Coroner Talbot wishes
you to regard yourself as *i possible
witness.”
"Me?” she cried, with an admirable
gesture of surprise and a wide opening
of her brown eyes, that made her look
like an astonished child. “What have
I got to do with it?”
“You pointed out a certain snot of
blood on the grass, and—well, the coro
ner’s orders have to be obeyed, miss.
You cannot leave the town without
running the risk of arrest.”
“Then I will stay in It,” she wmiled.
“I have no liking for arrests,” and the
glint of her eye rested for a moment ou
Frederick. “Mr. Sutherland,” she con
tinued as that gentleman appeared at
the dining room door, “1 shall have to
Impose upon your hospitality for a few
days longer. These men here Inform
me that my Innocent Interest In point
ing out to you that spot of blood on
Mrs. Webb’s lawn has awakened some
curiosity and that 1 am wanted us a
witness by flie coroner."
Mr. Sutherland with a quick stride
lessened the distance between himself
and these unwelcome intruders. “The
coroner’s wishes are paramount just
now,” said he, but the look bo gave his
son was not soon forgotten by the spec
tators.

ColummA, August (J.—Tno average
temperature during the week ending
8 a.m., Monday, August 5*h, was
about normal, with a maximum of
102 at Tillers Ferry, and u minimum
of 04 at Gheruw and Spartanburg.
There was nearly the normal amount
of sunshine.
Beneficial and quite general rains
occurred over portions of the central
and lower Savannah valley and ad
jacent counties, and there were widely
scattered showers over the remainder
of the State, some of which were
heavy and were accompanied by
damaging hail, in narrow paths, in
Fairfield, Richland, Sumter Orange
burg, Florence, Kershaw and Marion
counties. There were also damaging
high winds at a few points. A
general rain is needed, especially for
young corn that in places is suffering
from lack of moi&ture.
Cotton continues to improve and
looks healthy, but generally remains
small, is late; and has very few grown
bolls. A few localities report the
plants growing too much to weed
and not fruiting well, although
generally cotton is moderately well
fruited. A little^ shedding is report
ed, and some fields are infested with
lice and rust. On light sandy soils
growth has stopped and the plants
are blooming to the top. Sea-island
is doing well, but is dwarfed and late.
Corn barely held its previous
week’s condition, except that in
places young corn made some improve
ment, and in others lias deteriorated
for want of moisture. A worm
known ns the corn stalk-borer is
doing much damagn over the south
eastern and central counties. Fod
der is being stripped from old corn.
Tobacco cutting and curing still
progressing favorably, and is near
ing completion in localities. The
early crop is poor, hut late tobacco
is doing well, except that worms are
numerous.
Rice looks promising and is head
ing. Sweet potatoes are the most
promising of all the minor crops; the
earliest are about ready to market.
Home white potatoes are being plant
ed. Some peus have been cut for
forage; peas are poor in places and
fine in others. Turnips being sown.
Reaches are worthless in many
places, and generally rotting exten
sively. Apples continue to drop.

I prescribed for her proved ineffectual
and she was growing worse every
hour. Her parents were sure she
would die. She had become so weak
that she could not turn over in the
bed. What to do at this critical
moment was a study for mo, hut I
thought of Chamberlain’s Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
as a lust resort prescribed it. The
most wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she was feeding
much belter; inside of three days
she was upon her feet and at the end
of one week was entirely well.” For
sale by Cherokee Drug Company.

ALL WOMEN
Wine of Cardiff is the guardian
of a woman’s health and happi
ness from youth to old age. It
helps her safely into womanhood.
It sustains her during the trials
of pregnancy, childbirth and
.motherhood, making labor easy
I and preventing flooding and mis
carriage. It gently leads her
through the dangerous period
I known as the change of life.
WINE 0 'CARDUI
cures leucorrlnea, falling of the
womb, and menstrual irregularity
in every form. It is valuable in
every trying period of a woman's
life. It reinforces the nervous
system, ai ls directly on tin; geni
tal organs ami is the finest tonic
for women known. Ask your
druggist for a #1.00 bottle of
Mine of Cardiff.
