"Oh, I am glad," she sighed. "I am _glad_! Even at the height of my love the thought of Jim Blair tugged at my heart. It hurt me to hurt him. He had wound his life so closely with mine that I couldn't drag them apart. And a bit of me loved him still, went on loving, and wanting his love. After having accepted so much, I could never have been really satisfied to throw him over, even for--_Jim_! I was going to say for `_you_' but you _are_ Jim, and I can have you both! There's no one to throw over; no one to be unhappy--" Katrine paused; in her deep eyes a gleam of laughter awoke and danced. "There's only one drawback, Captain Bedford--Blair--Jim--John--whatever you chose to call yourself, and for _that_ you have yourself to blame!" "I'll bear it. I'll bear anything! What is it now?" asked Jim, smiling. "I shall always," replied Katrine demurely, "I shall always feel that I am married to _two_ men!" The End.
