And in his heart, he knew that it would require but a tiny spark to turn his hatred for Canler into the blood lust of the killer. Early the next morning Canler set out for town.

About noon Jane started off for a walk.
To add to my distress, I learned that he had borrowed ten thousand dollars more from Robert Canler, and had given his notes for the amount. Mr. Canler had asked for no security, and you know, dearie, what that will mean for me if papa cannot meet them. Oh, how I detest that man! We all tried to look on the bright side of things, but Mr. Philander, and Mr.
I don't know that Jane cares for him; but beside his title they say he has inherited a very considerable estate from his father, and it might not be strange, if he finally won her, unless " and Canler paused. "Tut tut, Mr. Canler; unless what?" "Unless, you see fit to request that Jane and I be married at once," said Canler, slowly and distinctly.
"If your father had not lost the treasure you would not feel forced to keep your promise to this man Canler?" "I could ask him to release me." "And if he refused?" "I have given my promise." He was silent for a moment.
As they drove along, he said: "Then when you said in your note to Tarzan of the Apes that you loved another you might have meant me?" "I might have," she answered, simply. "But in Baltimore Oh, how I have searched for you they told me you would possibly be married by now. That a man named Canler had come up here to wed you. Is that true?" "Yes." "Do you love him?"

"Do you release her from her promise?" he asked. "It is the price of your life." Canler, gasping for breath, nodded. "Will you go away and never molest her further?"
I have been through so much today." Canler felt the hostility that emanated from each member of the party. It made him angry. "We have waited as long as I intend to wait," he said roughly. "You have promised to marry me. I shall be played with no longer. I have the license and here is the preacher. Come Mr. Tousley; come Jane.
In any other man I should have thought that the prompting of a magnanimous and noble character. But you are deep, Mr. Robert Canler. I know you better than you think I know you. "I shall certainly marry you if there is no other way, but let us understand each other once and for all."
I don't care for any fuss or feathers, and I'm sure you don't either." The girl turned cold, but she held her head bravely. "Your father wishes it, you know," added Canler. "Yes, I know." She spoke scarcely above a whisper. "Do you realize that you are buying me, Mr. Canler?" she said finally, and in a cold, level voice. "Buying me for a few paltry dollars?
