Her lonliness appealed to his sympathies as no
child's had ever done before and as she suddenly
swept back the tanges of hair and looked at him,
not boldly, but earnestly, searchiugly, the young
man noticed for the first time the strange, bright
deepness Of her eyes and that there was thought
in them. = e rF &, /. q g

they were numerous enough, for he passed his white
hand softly over tho tangled hair, and said very
tcnderly, " Poor child, ami sorry for you !"

asked at last in a low soothing voice, when the
sobs had grown fewer.

Every word she spoke revealed more and more
of her half stilied il-directei undcvclopcd nature
The young man felt there re great beauty and
great strength under the little brown homcly
face. .,. ... ..
