The month passed, and even Aun

stuff" in that girl. Matte had her bap

they were bad ones, and crockery few

her hands behind her back and locked
her up till Kenneth returned. Never IN
Sally's life had she shown what it was
to blush, but when he saw those discred-
liable bonds food of shame and con-
triton dyed her young cheeks. This w9q
the last of her outbreaks. When the
month was over, she was sent to Nurse
Brown and the nearest boarding school.
Every Sunday afternoon she went to
Bedford Lodge, and soon Aunt Hannah
owned that Sally was growing quite a
decent looking girl She was indeed rap
idly changing in everything but in
what was unchangeable-her fidelity to
Kenneth and her love for him.

bic fight there was no little commotion
IN Cow court one afternoon, for Biddy
announced her intention of "looking up
that gell. " Out Of dirty receptacle she
produced Kenneth S card. 1t had chang
ed to dull yellow, for whenever the
famous tale was told of how the young
swell licked Tim" the card was handed
round to finish off the story. The call
was TO be made in style. So at 8 O'Clock
q costermonger's barrow with donkey
harnessed to it was drawn up at the en-
trance to the court. In the barrow was
placed an npturncd fruit basket, and on
to this Bidly was hoisted. The crutch
went, too, as a sign of her temporal
power in Cow court and to be handy to
belabor the donkey with. According to
the tradition of the court, the best fe-
male headgear was shawl thrown over
the head, and thus attired Biddy drove
through the stately streets Of the west.

seat on the basket with increasing diff

was so astorished that her vigilance re.

cook to keep watch and ran to Aunt
Hannah.
"A dreadful woman in the hallv'
cried she. "I'll see to her." And, like
hawk sweeping down on its quarry
she bore down on Biddy. "Be Off al

"Stow your jaw!" said Biddy, un.

card and thrust it aggressively under

meth, when he returned, ushered Biddy
into his study and was closeted with her
for half an hour. Biddy explained that
as Tim was dead she considered herself
Sally's guardian, and Cow court entire
ly ratified this view. Before leaving
Biddy reminded Kenneth that there was
an ancient and laudable custom of drink
ing one's hcst's health. Kenneth ran
somed himself from this obligation by
a cash payment Of half crown.
The aunts never knew what had taken
place at this interview. He merely said
that Biddy had something to tell him
about Sally's early life.
Nothing creditable, I'll warrant, 81
said Hannah, and he made no reply.

in:

assurance that she felt her anger melt.

Sally, my darling, see it in your
eyes-I hear it in your voice. Love has

'Of course you know il. :" And her
voice took those thrilling tones which
had moved his heart so when she sang.

the strength of my life. If you had never
spoken, should have gone on loving

grave single for your sake; but, oh, my
love, / shall never wed you-neyer be

Kenneth would once more have flung
his arms around her, but she composed
herself by great effort and said:
"Wait just moment, and will tell
you ALL"

from yourself and from me" He inter-
rupted her with an impatient gesture,
but she persisted: "You know what I
was when you found me. You think
you know all, but no one ever told you
that had been in prison for theft; that
| had my hair cut short, wore prison
dress and ate prison food, and"- Her
voice failed her, her face grew deadly
white. her hungry eyes searched his face
TO see if he shrank from her. To her joy,
the brightness of his eyes never clouded
for moment. He took her hand, with
a sweet gesture Of love and reverence,
and holding it steadfastly between his
own he spoke:
Dear, know it-have known it for
years. Biddy came and told me long
ago. And, knowing all, still ask you
to be my wife. "
Sally's blood slowly came back to her
pale cheeks, slowly flooded her fair face
with its tender rose. Slowly the sweet
light mingled with the tears in her eyes
and conquered them. 1t was so doubly
sweet that he should know all and yet
love on. Her joy at first was too great
for words. She moved little closer to
him; then with swift, sweet abandon
ment she flung her arms round his neck
and drew his face down to hers.
"But, DEAR" she whispered, "the
world will know" AS their lips met he
answered.:

BOwliUg Club Notes.

As is usually the case, interest in bowl
ing begins TO revive in the fall and there
promises to be some good games atsome
Of the local alleys this comitg winter.
There are now several good alleys here
and three or four clubs who can put up
good game and there is already some
talk in'bowliDg circles OF the formation
OF sort OF league and arranging for a
number, of games between each OF the
clubs. This could be easily done and it
would serve to keep up the interest in the
game during the winter.
There was an interesting game at Will
mer's alley last evening between mem.
Der OF the Columbian club and member
of the English American club. Twenty
five innings were played and at the end
OF that time the score stood 1S9 to 17S
in favor OF the Columbian, he winning
the game by eleven points, This ia a
good score and the contest was a close
one all the way through, it being impos-
sible to tell who would WIN until the last
inning was over.
The Columbians are anxious to arrange
a game with the English American club.
They say that they will claim the champ
ionship of the county il the latter club
does not agree to play them game
soon. The both clubs are in excellent
condition having all good players and
many old hands. It is likely that a
game will be arranged between the two
rival cubs within few weeks.
