"You are in Monsieur Dufaurs acad-
envy. Madame here was at the circus,
and when you were hurt, or fell, she
made the surgeon, whom she knows,
bring you here. Ben wouldn't let Won
stay in the mems tent, and II was so far
to my hotel"
"And is this where-where the young
lady lives?"
Mrs Brown and madame exchanged
chances.
"Nhat young lady?"

$50 you wcre-a young lady who went
to the circus with Monsieur Dufaur.
Do you wish to see her? When you get
up you will see her."
Mrs Brown then withdrew, Madame
Dufaur saw her to the door, and Dick
speedily dressed himself Then he
| locked out on the street
1t was a very quiet, respectable street.
Such fine houses on all sides, and some
had spacious grounds about them.
Dick did not know they were public in
situations. They looked like palaces in
his eyes.
Presently a servant brought him q
breakfast that was like nothing he had
ever dreamed Of The dishes were beauti-
full He could rot help admirimg them
The eggs were cooked in way new to
him. There vas something that might
be potatoes; he never tasted anything as
good. The cakes-thoy melted in his
mouth, and there was enough for three
people.
He felt ashamed of himself when he
In hot i,,fp
He was so hungry, and everything was
30 delicious. that before he thought OF
how it would look" he had ate to his
satisfaction.
Dick never forgot that breakfast.
After tho servant came in and took
the things away, a very handsome
man, with bright, piercing, black eyes,
came in.
$50, | see you are Yourself. Well,
my brave boy. | am proud to make your
acquaintance. You have the courage,
the will, tho determination. SO, so,
You are as sound as my watch, which

dollars. And so you did think you were
in heaven. Iia. ha. Well, | wish Cou d
show to you what place | was bred in
France: then you would he in heaven, as
much as man can make here on earth. :"
Madame Dufaur came in while her
. husband was talking, and behind her
stood a Young lady, the side of whose
head was turned to Dick. When Madame
! Dufaur came forward the Young lady
glanced Shyly toward Dick. Dick was
looking at Madame Dufaur, who spoke
to him, when Monsieur Dufaur heard an
exclamation.
He turned quickly, as did his wife,
Dick looked, too. The young lady was
staring with open mouth at him.
Dick"
".Ioe."
Dick caught her hands quickly, his
eyes dancing with 10y.
at was you al the timc."
IL was not sure it was you. Not
until"
Dick looked ashamed. and Joe held her
head down and bluShel.
Now, | suppose, said Dick.
Joe nodded PRETTY.
How different ,he looked. Her hair
was ARIA grd SO lovely: it d splayrd the
contour II one of the prctticst heads
ever placed on woman's shoulders. And
her eyes were 50 different. They sh0ne
with Il soft light-they used to snap with
fire at I'm.
And then her dress. 1t was 50 neat
so prcttily worn. EVERYTHING suited
hnr-seemed made for her She was
part aud parcel with the material, or,
rather, her dress seemed part of her.
As for Dick, he had a brand-ncw suit
on-the suit the clown hal bought him
the day previous. lie looked like a
young prince. Certainty no person to
look at Dick that moment would believe
that boy was raised in poorhouse
"What. you know each other" said
Madame Dufaur.
I'VE were ia. sed together" said Dick.
"What." said Monsieur Dufaur, "you
too come from that horrible placer"
yes sir, said Dick modestly.
"So-so. So 50. And you ran away?
Eli. Is that it,"
/ 81 did, sir"
81 take your hand"
! Monsieur Dufaur actually treated him
like prince
! ANY boy who would fight for Joe
here"-Joe was bluShing furiously-" eh,
i little one She has talked Of you thou
| sand times. How You always took her
! part-lici to save her beatings. The
! lies are recorded to Your favor in heaven.
That beast Capcr. He should be
boiled in oil. Bah! Caper. l should
j like myself to do it."
] why. it is quito a little romance, ~
said Madame Dufaur. "Nell, you two
! can go out in the garden and tell all that
yOu have to tell | give you one hour.
The hour seemed half flown only,
. when Joe discovered how time had sped.
ooh, Dick, | haven't told You half,
. nor tenth Of all I've to tell"
+ Then, seeing him smile, she cried in
a arm: ooh, aud you've never said q
word-oniy listen, | don't know a
blessed thing-not a thing-that's hap
pcned to You"
"Never mind; now | know where you
live, I'll come back and tell you what a
precious Jolly time I've hall"

said, clapping her hands "to hear it. >"
Then, after rejecting minute:
"An't it upside-down, every way?

you-you ought to be assisting Monsieur
Dufaur."
"Yes.o said Dick signing; "but Rcn's

to ride with thousands aFplanding you:
My. but I'd like t. ride that way"
"You mustn't Joe. | II make lots o.
money for you-yoU Il sec"
And Dick meant it
