ladies in Kcnwood have taken small
store near the institution and there
they take turns at noon every day in
dealing out onc-cent lunches to the
ragged children of the ncigiborhood.
The soup is bought from the Hull
house and served to the hungry young
sters after they have been made to
wash their faces and hands. The ven
ture has been very successful and scores
of fnmished children patroni2e the
place every day with their pennies, in
spite of the washing regulations They
are so hungry for the steaming soup
and coffee that they willingly use the
soap and water first. Occasionally the
young lady in charge saperintends
these ablutions, but oftener the big

traitorous to all the traditions of 1872
or any Jther date in the history of the
two countries. At times, wild IDEAS of
getting blind full and going home to
break every brcakable thing in the
house rose in his mind, but prudence
whispered that he had to live all the
rest of his life with his wife, and he
realized that his scheme of vengeance
had its drawbacks. Finally he united
his patient team, after paying his bill,
and drove silently home, not having re-
turned, even by a nod, any OF the salu-
tations rendered to him that day. He
was somewhat relieved to find no qucs-
tions were asked, and that his wife
recognized the fact that he was passing
through a crisis. Nevertheless there
was steely glitter in the eye he un-
easily quailed under which told him a
line had been reached which it would
not be well for him to cross. She for
gave, but it mustn't go any further.
When Yates kissed Kitty good night
at the gate he asked her, with some
trepidation, whether she had told any

And he finished his sentence with a
practical illustration of his frame of
mind.
As he walked alone down the road
he reflected that Margaret had acted
very handsomely. and he resolved to
drop in and wish her good-by. But as

showing the negro type, even in her
small features. Her black eyes We're

logged, but with the obstinacy of half
conscious stupidity. Brant felt not only
disappointed, but had a singular lnI
preston that she was not the same
woman that he had first seen. Yet there
was the tall, graceful figure, the dark
profile and the turbaned head that he
had once followed down the passage by
his room.
Her story was stupidity simple. She
had known missy" from chile. She
had just trapsed over to see her that

turned in his saddle to look at it. There
it was-the largest and most dominant
window in that part of the building

hours ago removed. restored to its
original position. He smiled. The hur-
ried entrance and CONSERVATION of Miss
Faulkner WAS now fully explained. He
had interrupted some impassioned mes
sage. perhaps even countermanded
some affectionate rendezvous beyond
the lines. And it settled the fact that
it was she who had done the signaling
But would not this also make her cog
infant of the taking of the dispatch
box? He reflected, however. that the
room was apparently occupied by the
mulatto woman; he remembered the
calico dresses and turban on the bed:
and it was possible that Miss Faulkner
had only visited it for the purpose of
signaling to her lover. But the circum-
stance did not tend to make his mind
easier. 1t was, however, presently di-
verted by an unlooked-for incident.

some equally specious order from Wash

the fact that she was nearer the lines

He had no idea that he was making eX-

mitigate her offense. She would be

But as to the real intruder-spy or

quickly settled. He gave an order to
the officer of the day peremptorily for
bidding the entrance of alien servants

headquarters. Anyone thus trespass-

officer looked surprised-he even fan

mulatto woman's figure had evidently
been not thrown away upon his sub
