"Oh, Belle! I'd do anything for you. I'd give my life for you."
"You would? Anything?"
"Only try me."
"Would you give up the ministry if I asked you?"
"If—if—you thought it was right—I know it would be right. Yes, I'd do it."
"Then I won't ask that. I'll put you to a smaller test. Will you face it?"
"I'll promise now; I give you my word before you name it."
"Then this is what I ask—that you sell Blazing Star to Colonel Waller right now, this very day."
"Oh, oh, Belle!" he said, feebly; "Blazing Star!"
"Yes, Jim, that is the condition. I love you, Jim; but you must choose now between us. Is it Belle or Blazing Star?"
