He turned and was she-bed. He
knew the thought that was running
in her mind.

her anguish in her brother's dentb.
"You false deceiverl" she cried.
“There are those who hesrd you
vow his death. Your very words
have been reported to me. And
from where he lay they found a
trail of blood upon the snow um
ran to your own door. Will you
still lie?"
They saw the color lenve his
fate. They saw his mus drop
limply to his sides, and his eyes
dilate with obvious. sudden fear.
“A—c trail of blood?” he faltered
stupidly.
“Aye. answer tint!” cut in Sir
John. fetched suddenly from out
his doubt: by that reminder.
Sir Oliver turned upon Killignw
again.
"I can not answer it," he said.
but very firmly. in a tone tint
brushed adds nil implications. ”If
you say it was so. so it must hsve
been. Yet when ell is said, wbnt
does it prove? Does it set it be-
yond doubt that it wns I who
killed him? Does it instib' the
woman who loved me to believe me
a murderer and something worse?"
He paused. and looked at her
again, d world of reproach in his
glance.
"Can you suggest what else it
proves. sir?” quoth Sir John. and
there was doubt in his voice.
Sir Oliver caught the note of it.
and a sob broke from him.
"0 God of pity!" he cried out.
"There is doubt in your voice. and
there is none in hers. You were
my enemy once. And have since
been in a. mistrustful truce with
me. yet you can doubt that I did
this thing. But she—she who loved
me has no room for any doubt!"
“Have done with that} air

his great fist upon the table.”
"Sir Oliver,” she answered him.
“the thing you bnvo done has
broken quite my heart. Yet know-

were brought to such a. deed I could
hsve forgiven it. I think. even
though I could no longer be your
wife; I could have forgiven if. I
say. but for the baseness of your
present deninl.”
He looked It her. white-faced on
instant. then Otnrned on his heel
and made for the door. There he
paused.
"Your meaning is quite plain.”
slid he. "It is your wish that I
shall take my trial for this deed.”
Ho hushed.
"Who will scent. me to the ins-

“11 Mistress Rosamund I0 desiro-
