Weary, disheartened by the fate that seemed ever against her, she sank into the chair he had just vacated. For a time she did not heed or scarcely hear Sibley's characteristic flatteries, but at last he said plainly: "Miss Ida, do you know that you are the one woman of all the world to me?" "Oh, hush!" she replied, rising.
I have to make my own medicine and take it. You say John Sibley is vicious. He has only got one vice." "Isn't it enough? Gambling " "That isn't a vice; it's a sport. It's the same as Mr. Crozier had. Mr. Crozier did it with horses only, the other does it with cards and horses. The only vice John Sibley's got is me." "Is you?" asked her mother bewilderedly.
He, in sudden revulsion, began to realize what he had attempted, and his flushed face became very pale. "Let them leave me alone," he growled sullenly, "and I'll leave them alone." "For Heaven's sake, Mr. Van Berg," cried Sibley's companions, "let the matter end here, lest worse come of it."
