TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
“I am her father. Chief Dempster,
and I ain District Attorney.” said
Graham, fighting as man will ever do
for his own. But the unasked, un
answered question was how fur this
proud father would fight when he
learned the full measure of guilt that
he would never believe until it was
confessed as the black truth. A man
who will defend his woman against
the world until she is driven to con
fess the truth—a man who must be
lieve that what he loves is‘pure and
innocent until she convicts herself
out of her own mouth—may find that
guilt confessed rruth—has the power
to puenoh the flame of love that the
world's suspicion has only fanned
higher. Justice and duty v/ere Gor
don Graham s fetish; his oath to his
country bound him; what would he,
what must he do, when he found how-
far his daughter had brought herself
under the displeasure of the laws of
his land?
"That won t atop me now. I’ll take
this case over your head to the At
torney General. * 0 • f arrest
them both." said Dempster, with cold
allegiance to duty as he saw it.
‘‘What can you gain by her at st
to-night?” risked Graham.
‘‘By a proper examination IM! gst
something from him or her."
While the father and the law fought
for the girl. Holbrook had stood pas
sively by—watching, watching keen
ly for h ray of light through some
chink in the armor of the law. Now
he threw up his head with a motion
of strength he might have learn* <1
from some stag in the fores when
that creature tossed its head in ani
mal supplication to the power of some
god of the wild.
‘‘Aline.’’ he said in a lone of quiet
conviction and power that sent a wave
of new strength to the girl who had
been cowering against the heavy ta
ble where her father fought for lv'r
.against the merciless enem- she had
evoked. "Aline, there is a law thi*t
will prtoert—us! ”
The Way Out.
.."US"—how that word carried com
fort to th« girl! He was offering lim
an absolute partnership—to which he
brought everything of faith and loy
alty and i lever determination. He
was quietly sharing her burden her©
before them all. And in another mo
ment she would know how absolutely
he was sharing what might befall h?r
for weal or woe!
“Let me ask Father Shannon one
question, gentlemen? Only one, m nd
you—no more——”
"FATHER SHANNON, HAS NOT
THIS LADY CONFESSED TO YOU
HER SECRET MARRIAGE?"
Holbrook's eyes flamed with domi
nant purpose. The priest faced him
for a moment. There wa,s a moment’s
pause—a moment linked with toe
great mystery of one man’s Impelling
influence* over his fellows. At last
Father Shannon turned his eyes from
the Captain to the girl.
J “Mav I speak?”
Aline nodded her head. * *
“Yes,” ahe murmured.
"She has confessed to me —hiv
| prieat HER SECRET MARRIAGE.”
There was an absolute hush of
waiting in the room. Amazement was
written on Graham's face—and a
ayptic smile played about the Chiefs
lips—the game moved fast, indeed!
Defying the world for her if ne *d
be. in exalted triumph Holbrook took
Aline !n‘o his arms. She crept into
their sanctuary—and watched with
trustful Joy, the while he threw up
hja head in challenge—and cried in
joyous triumph:
THERE Irf A LAW THAT PRO
TECTS EITHER HUSBAND OR
WIFE FROM TESTIFYING
AGAINST THE OTHER—IS THERE
NOT?”
The other men slowly nodded.
“WELL, THE... GENTLEMEN,
YOU’LL GET NOTHING FROM
EITHER OF US, FOR THIS LADY
IS MY WIFE!"
Gordon Graham felt in a flash that
i this was why he had not liked Alin * s
world man”—because he had felt in
Holbrook ;he possibility for just such
.clandestine sneaking of what lie
| wanted. And (Thief Dempster hard
ened in his conviction that these two
were a clever pair who would bear
watching and watching apart.
Aline Paroled.
And Father Shannon wondered if
over a lie had been told in 90 noble a
cause.
For Just one joyous moment Aline
staved close and warm in the aan* - -
! tuary of her lever’s arms—and then
in a tone that f imbled through her
1 consciousness with the irresistible
| power of a car of steel on a track of
steel, came Chief Dempster s voice:
"You may take the girl home with
| v6«. Graham—but she is—my pris-
! oner. Your parole that you will keep
! her so.”
In unspeakable agony the father
! bowed his shamed head.
"As for Captain Holbrook—he may
come with me.”
"Where? Where? Oh, no—it isn’t
fair—not him—I——”
Aline’s voice rose in the shrill stac
cato of onrushing hysteria.
"Aline!” commanded Holbrook
sternly, whi e his arms tightened
their strength-giving, tender hold.
"They are to get nothing from either
cf us. You are to say no word. Re
member—I command y ou to be* si
lent."
"I will—my vow—oh. Larry, Lar
ry.” she murmured, weakly, lying
snent and inert in his arms.

1 Daysey Mayme Appleton had put on
all her special scenery. There was a
big easy chair which would make a man
long to stay forever; a lamp with a
pink shade that reflected a becoming
tint on Daysey Mayme’s face, her most
becoming dress, her hair as fluffy as if
she had combed it with an egg beater,
and a plate of fudge in a melting mood
of stickiness.
The stage was set for 7:30, and Day
sey Mayme with a set smile on her face
sat waiting for the audience and the
performance to begin.
He had not appea’red when the clock
struck eight, no word had been received
from him when the clock struck nine,
and at ten Daysey Mayme, with her
hair beginning to show need of the egg
beater and the squares of fudge melt
ing into a sticky mass, turned out the
light, retired to her room and look off
her special scenery with eyes filled wit a
