"Mr. Armstrong." cried Enid Mait-
land, interposing at this juncture. "Not
very long ago I told you 1 liked yon
better than any man I had aver seen.
I thought perhaps I might have loved
you, and that was true. You have
played the coward's part and the liar's
part in this rood-"
Did I fight him like a coward?'
asked Armstrong.
'No,' answered Newbold for her, re-
membering the struggle; 'You fought
like a man."
Singular perversion of language and
thought there! If two struggled like
wild beasts that was fighting like men!
"But let that pass. continued the
woman. "I don't deny your physical
courage, but I am going to #ppeal to
another kind of a courage which I be-
lieve you possess- You have showed
your evil side here in thta room, but
I don't believe that's the only side you
have, else I couldn't have liked you in
the past You have made a charge
against two women; one dead and one
living. It makes little difference what
you say about me. I need no dente*
and no justification in the eyes et
those hero who love me, and for the
rest of the world I don't care. But you
have slain this man's confidence in a
woman he once loved, and who he
'thought loved him. As you are a man,
tell him that It was a Ile and that she,.
was innocent of anything else although
she did love you."
What a singular situation, an obser-
ver who knew all talgbt have reflect-
ed! Here was Enid Maitland pleading
for the good name of the woman who
had married the man she now loved,
esti whom by rights she should have
