' ‘‘ He said he had not seen him for years; did not know whether he was alive or dead; that he could never go back to the old home, and never expected to ever meet one of his kindred again, But he made me solemnly swear that if I ever met a young man called Al Penningcon, ' to treat him white in memory of my old pard. I did swear, and I repeated the vow when I knelt over the grave where Poker was buried, ** Now you know why I took such a deep in- terest in your cousin, Alva Pennington, child. I believed him the brother of my old pard, and when he came to me and claimed me as his long- lost brother—when he begged of me to see you and refuse the offer which you had sworn to make—when he solemnly swore that he would blow his brains out if any other man ever wed- ded you—you can see the motive which led me to permitting you to believe me Lloyd Penning- n, ‘*T declined your hand, lying when I said I was married; I meant to refuse all share in the fortune, simply urging as a reward that you smile upon Alva—but that is all over now. ‘*T could see no harm in taking that name for -a little while, for if this was the brother of my dead pard, Poker must bave been the Lloyd you sought, and he was dead. So I was not cheat- ing anybody out of their rights—and I had sworn I’d serve little Al if it ever layin my wer—and I was a Black Sheep, anyway—a ie or two more wouldn’t hurt my morals— Play fair, Curly! One card at a time, if you please!” A painful sob broke from Medea, and Rice chastened to hold the glass to the lips of the card- sharp, whose mind was beginning to wander. But Monte Jim feebly motioned it away. **T’ve told all—and it can’t do me any more ood. The game is about ended—and she caught e turn on me, sure!” Sobbing bitterly, Medea Pennington knelt ‘beside him. He gently—almost reverently— -touched her hair with one white hand, then swiftly raised it to his lips, laughing faintly as he caught the moist eye of Will Rice. ‘Don’t begrudge me that little, old fellow. If you only knew what a terrible temptation it was—when she said those words—and her hand in mine—her eyes looking so bravely up at me —when I knew that [ had only to break my word and accept her offer! But I didn’t say it. I kept my faith to the lad—I didn’t go back on the word I gave my old pard! You can set that down to my credit, anyway. ‘* But—somehow I can’t catch the words I want—they dodge me, and I find I’m saying something else. **Give me your hands—as a favor—so!” and ether, holding them thus wi both of his. ‘* Treat her white, old fellow, aie or Tl come back and haunt you till your hair .. “turns gray! loves you—you love her—I saw it all, last Poor Al won't object now—she And now—lady—if you wouldn’t mind,” he ae gasped, painfully, wistfully. ‘* Nobody but us three need ever know—and you could soon rub the stain off—after I'm , fedea Pennington bent but repeatedly.
