"No. It must Inc for a term of free

"You are very confident, my dear,

"I have the confidence of a desper-

"And Carlotta?" said Judy with a
little wistfal note in her voice.
"Carlotta understands. But go and
see her, Judy."
"I will. Perhaps 1 shell' go to-

'Very late that night, after she bad
gone upstairs to hor room, but not to
sleep, Judy was disturbed by the sound
of footsteps on the gravel beneath her
window. Looking clown, she discerned
easily in the clear moonlight the figure
of her brother pacing to and fro bare-
headed. Al tete end of the terrace he
made pause, and stood looking towards
the spur of Barassie Hill.
Then quite slowly he raised his arm,
as a man might do to emphasize a
vow. As he turned, and the moons
light fell full upon his face, Judy's
momentary horror was stiiled; for it
was no vow of vengeance he had
token, vengeance to be wreaked upon
The Lees, but merely the vow a man
takes upon himself when all the
pulses of his being are stirred, and
he knows that itis manhood is a
heaven-sent heritage given for the
highest and the holiest use.
