stood concealed near by held her breath and burled her mills In her palms Why did IIP hcsltnte Would he never speak I It seemed not for he swung botween diverse emotions anger that this outsider should question him on so Intlnuto a mil Iter chagrin at the knowledge nf hnvlng Injuns Necla and rage blind rage at till thought of Its becoming a barroom topic Gradually the conviction grew that It was not a question of Idle curiosity with Doret and the nnns history recurred to him No wonder he was Interested In the girl no Yonder he wished to I Runrd her he had been a brother Indeed even as ho said and he could have no motive save an honorable one It never occurred to the soldier that this Frenchman I could harbor feelings akin to his ova TCa mA nu rough and forelfo his thoughts had been couched In harsher language perhaps than he Intended I moreover the fellows high sense of I honor was a byword and of a sudden the desire to set himself right In this mans eyes dictated his answer I am amazed at myself for listening to you ho said at last and qllle shocked In fact at my answering your questions hut perhaps Id better after all First however let me say that the little girl Is Just as pure now as she was before she knew me Poleon threw up his hand Msleu tints moro elMer to dc Insult clan wat you call me Jus now You don need for spoke it Youre rlgth Theres no Med to I tell you that As for showing her certain I attentionswell I admit that I I have as you know but thank nOl I I can ray Ive been gentleman nnd addressed i her as I would the fairest lady Ive known II An you mean for marry eh probed the other i Now no man could have answered such a direct question easily and In I this ens It wan especially bard for the Kentueklar who was torn between Ills ungovernable desire and that decision I which cold reason had thrust upon him He wanted to tny Yes Ill I marry her tomorrow but something bade him pause before hP sacrlflc upon this altar of a yoiithft lose his llfp his

what I would say This life of yours Is different from mine and It would be useless for me to explain the reason why I cannot marry to you Leaving out ill question of my sentiment there are Insurmountable obstacles to inch union I but as to this tnlk I think that can be stopped without annoyance to her and as for the rest we must trust to time to bring about proper adjustment A low discordant sound of laughter arrested his words and turning he beheld Necla standing revealed In the dimness What an nmuslne person you are she said Ive had hard work holding In all this time while you were torturing your mind and twisting the honest English language out of shape and meaning I knew I should have laugh sooner or later What IE the meaning of this 1 he demanded Is It ft Joke Indeed It Is die declared laughing afresh and the best Ive ever enjoyed Wasnt it funny Poleoniihe turned gayly to Iho Frenchman but he stood like one petrllledti see him debatlrm coolly whether he cared for

stammered the man The bottom of things seemed suddenly to slide from under him he was like one sinking In some hideous quagmire Ho felt as If he were choking Why of course she cried scornfully Just as you took me up tor amusement You were such a fine well dressed Immaculate mound of conceit that I couldnt resist the temptation and you hid your condescension so poorly that I thought you ought to betaken down a peg I knew I was a squaw but I wanted to see It I were I not like other women after all and If you were not like other men Kit was talking rapidly now almost shrilly for I she had never attempted to act before while he stood dazed and speechless I fumbling at ills throat while she railed at him You neednt wistu time debating I whether Im good fnough for you because Im nut decidedly Im not your kind and you are a Joke to me I He uttered nn Inarticulate cry but she ran on unheeding her eyes wide and Blowing like coals her lips chalk white You see Its time I stopped such fool
