He Said With Bit ter Hatred. paroxysm of passion; "don't you even speak her namine! If you do, I'll kill you!" So fierce was her leap that he fell back a step In slicer surprise. Then he laughed loudly.

It was Major Bristow, his spruce white hat on the back of his head, his unsullied waistcoat dappled with the leaf-shadows. He stepped out briskly toward Damory court, swinging his stick, all unconscious of the fierce scrutiny bent on him from behind the dogwoods. Greef King did not withdraw his hand till the steps had died in the dis tance. When he did, he clenched his flt and shook it in the air. "There he goes!" he said with bitter hatred. "Yer noble friend that sent me up for six years ' break my heart on th' rock-pile! Oh, he's a top-notcher, he is! But he's got Greef King to reckon with yit!" lie looked at, bei balefully and shook her. "Look-a-yere," he said in a hissing voice. "Ye remember me. I'm a bad one ter fool with. Yer maw foun' that out, I reckon. Now ye'll promise me ye'll tell nobody who ye've seen.

"Ye snivelin' brat, ye!" he snarled. "I'll show yer!" lIe began to drag her after him through the bushes. A few yardls arid they were on tihe br-ink of the heaudlonrg ugly chasm of Love'rs' Leap.

The child's face was paper-white andl she had begun to tremrble like a leaf, but her eyes recmainedl closed. "One-t wo-" lie counted deliber ately. 11er eyes openedl. She turned one shuddering glance below, then her resolution broke. She clutched hils arm anid broke into wild supplications. "I promise, I promise!" she cried. "Oh, don't let go! I promise!"
