Ho had been accused of murder, and the proof was so i-reat against ht-n that there waa no oorlhly hope thai ho could mako his Innocence manifest ' Still he had stoutly declared that ho was not guilty, lut Ihcie were nono who believed that he spoko tho truth, The evuleoco against him wasToo strong. Even his father believed him guilty. It was this terrible trial which had bronght the wiluklcs upon his face, and inulo U)ui look bo old beyond hlstltno. sterp Justice, he felt, would have senthls son to luo gallows i but tula ho cook! not do. Ills own flesh and blooa must be saved, If possible, tbiadlsgtace. Therefore be bad couulred at his escape, and by extreme good fortune had got him outran the country. Binco he had beau assured ot this, no living soul had ever beard him mention his son's liaiuo. From him one would never have known but what he had Lc?n childless all his life. Friends ho had but few. He was nut a man, In these days, who Would attract people to lu:n, Those old ones who still lived near by, ncyer mentioned his sou's name to him. Thcro was pot one who bad the courage to do It, Had they doue so, it would probably have beeu an eu4 to all f utther Intercourse between them. Thus it was tliut Uo days ot Hugh Allan's lif e- camo aud went. Ouly one other Inmate was there of the Orange, save the servants. This was a distant relative, Dora Adams.

And they wero right. Hutu Allan did not ku iw tho tato of his son. Ho might bo llvla or he might be dead. At anr I ate, ho was dead to him toivcr. At the time our story opens, Dora Adams was a beautiful woman. None of tho many fair ladles ot that section eclipsed hor. Bbo was tho acknowledged bello and beauty ot all that region of country. Snltoi she had In scores, but as yet her heart was f roe. rf ono had managed to win It from her own keeping. Hugh Allah sruarded hcrjeil. ously.
