Rosalind Benham had written about you to Ruth Gresham a friend of hers in New York. Ruth Gresham told me. I went directly from Manti to Benham's ranch. Then I came here about dusk, last night. There was a man here your foreman, he said. I explained, and he let me in. Trev won't you welcome me?" "It isn't the first time I've been in trouble."
He dropped her hands, and she felt of the fingers where he had gripped them. She veiled the quick, savage leap in her eyes by drooping the lids. "You love Rosalind Benham," she said, quietly, looking at him with a mirthless smile. He started, and her lips grew a trifle stiff. "You poor boy!" "Why the pity?" he said grimly. "Because she doesn't care for you, Trev.
You must have captivated the little sneak completely to make him lose his head like that!" "I did it for you, Trev for you. Don't you see? Oh, I despise the little beast! But he dropped a hint one day when I was in the bank, and I deliberately snared him, hoping I might be able to gain information that would benefit you.
If there had been a time when he had loved her, its potence could not leap the lapse of years and overcome his repugnance for her kind, and he looked at her coldly, barring her progress with a hand, which caught her two and held them in a grip that made her wince. "What are you doing here? How did you get in? When did you come?" He fired the questions at her roughly, brutally. "Why, Trev."
"Well, I'm doing some good in the world, after all." "Trev," Hester moved toward him again, "don't talk like that it makes me shiver. I've been through the fire, boy we've both been through it. I wasted myself on Harvey you'll do the same with Rosalind Benham. Ten years, boy think of it! I've loved you for that long. Doesn't that make you understand "
"I expected you last night," she said as she met Hester at the door. "You were delayed I presume. Has anything happened?" "Nothing, dearie." Only the bold significance of Hester's smile hid its deliberate maliciousness. "Trev was so glad to see me that he simply wouldn't let me go. And it was daylight before we realized it." The girl gasped.
And I don't blame you a bit I deserve it all. But don't send me away. Why, I love you, Trev; I've loved you all these years; I loved you when I sent you away while I was married to Harvey; and more afterwards and now, deeper than ever; and " He shook his head and looked at her steadily cynicism, bald derision in his gaze. "I'm sorry; but it can't be you're too late."
And I have, Trev!" she added, trembling with a hope that his hasty judgment might result to her advantage. And how near she had come to mentioning Carson's name! If Trevison had waited for just another second before interrupting her! Fortune had played favorably into her hands tonight!
Passing an open space between two buildings he became aware of the figure of a woman, and he wheeled as she stepped forward and grasped his arm. He recognized her and tried to pass on, but she clung to him. "Trev!" she said, appealingly; "I want to talk with you. It's very important really. Just a minute, Trev. Won't you talk that long! Come to my room where "
The woman seemed to realize at last, for she gave a little shiver and looked up at Trevison with a wan smile. "I I think I understand, Trev. Oh, I am so sorry! But I am not going away. I am going to stay in Manti, to be near you if you want me. And you will want me, some day." She went close to him. "Won't you kiss me once, Trev? For the sake of old times?"
