smile flashed over his dark face as he
encountered Philip's glance.
"It is true, M'slcur," he said. "I
know of no other woman who would
have stood up under such a thing as
Jeanne has done. Molt Dlcti, when I
found a part of tho canoe wreckage
far below I thought that both ..f ou
were dead!"
Philip began to feel that he dad
foolishly overestimated his strength

"You have warned me to ask no

But you have not forbidden tno to tell

Pierre's dark e.ves flashed
"M'sieur "
"Listen:" demanded Philip. "I ek

Quickly, without mov !nc his ejes
from Pierre's face, Philip told his own
story of lord Kltshush Lee. And as
he continued a strange change came
over the half-breed.

convulsively, something rose in his

had done he hurled his face in his
hands. For a few moments he re-
mained thus, nnd then suddenly looked
up. Livid spots burned in his ehe-eks,
and he fairly bUsed at Philip.
"M'sieur, If this Is not the truth- if
this Is a lie "
Ho stopped. Something In Philip's
eyes told him to go no further. He
wns fearless, and he saw more than
fearlessness In Philip's face. Such
men believe, when they come to
Eether.
"It is the truth." said Philip.
With 11 low. strained laugh Pierre
held out his hand ns a pledge of his
faith.
"I believe in you. M'sieur." ho said,
and It seemed an effort for him to
speak. "Do you know what I would
