she knew him we'll enough to realize
that wherever she went he would fol-
low her. He had demanded an ex-
planation, and perhaps the quickest
way to get rid of him would be to
grant it.
Several hours later, when dinner
was served, Jack was one Of the party
of three at table, and most merry
party it was.
Explanations had been given and
accepted on both sides, and Aelle;
aided considerably by Jack, had made
Mrs. Ottway familiar with the quarrel
that had separated two young lovers,
who had both been a triae too fond OF
having their own way in everything.

"Please don't go now, Jack, urged
Zelie, and Robbie failed to see his new

But, in the days that followed, Jack
and Master Robbie became the Stanch-
est Of friends, for the boy was soon
made to realize that Gaylor's threats
of the vengeance of the law had been
insincere.
Early in September there was quiet
little wedding at Mrs. Ottway's house.
Master Robbie wGs one of the in'

inst before the bridal couple left the
house Jack led him to one ri the rooms

States Prison?"
.'Don'tl please DON'T" howled the
small boy.
'He really ought to go to prison.
said the woman, entering into the
spirit of the affair.
The prospective young felon
screamed more loudly than ever, and
wriggled like an eel, only to find him
self in O clutch fr rom which there was
no escaping.
81 didn't mean nothing--l don't

"Ah |" replied the man, "but those
who don't want to 60 to prison
shouldn't attempt to set fire to

The noise made by the small boy
brought to the door the young lady
whose singing had been interrupted
by the sudden advent of the tirecrack-
ers.
She caught sight first of the boy.
"Why, Robbie Appleton, she ex-
claimed; "aren't you ashamed of
yourself? What do you suppose your
mother would say to you, if she were
to hear what you have been doingY

howled the miserable Robbie. "Don't
let this man send me there!"
But the small boy was now in very
little danger, even from his own point
of view, for, at the sound OF thai
voice the man had let go of his cap
tive and was now utterly oblivious ol
the fact that there was any suct
youngster us Robbie in existence.
"Zelie I" he cried, springing into
the hallway.
"Jack!" gasped the young lady
turning very pale.
Then, recovering her composur'
somewhat, she hurriedly added:
"Mr. Gaylor, 1 didn't know that
