rible aa ordeal seemed Uke a purifi-
cation of her dishonor. If she died
she would die unstaiaed; If she lived
it would be after such a bridal that
would obliterate her tie to the sot
below. Then on th eve of her giv-

drooped as though to find a resting
place oa the breast of the man she
loved she suddenly called up all her
resolution and tore herself free.
"I'm Joe's wife!" she said.
Gregory faltered as he tried again
to plead with her; but In his mind's
eye ha saw that stiffening corpse be-
low lying stark and cold oa the cabin
floor.
"You gave me to him." she burst
out "I'm his Greg. I will not be-
tray my husband for any man."
Agaia h besought her to so with.
