The thought of her roused in him all his bitter sense of hurt and injury. North had trampled on his confidence and friendship! The lines of his face grew hard.

She gave a little shiver of horror as if at the mere idea. This was for the gambler, but her real feeling was far deeper than he, suspicious as he was, could possibly know. "Why do you 'poor Jack' him to me?" said Gilmore sullenly. Evelyn opened her fine eyes in apparent astonishment. "He is one of my oldest friends. I have known him all my life!" she said.

Then there were some words, much quieter than those preceding them, between Mr.

"What has Andy Gilmore to do with whether you go home or not?" inquired the judge. "It's him and Marsh," said the handy-man.

"Why should Mr. Gilmore or my son wish to keep you away from your wife?"
