Steve Fiske was a very handsome

worth preserving, but the material Of

This idol of her girlhood had never
made love to her. He was always
ioking. He treated her like child.
and she was often angry with him for
doing so, She particularly remembered
one of his jokes which was made on
the evening when he bade her goodby.

Ia LONE in a wild part of the woods
IVA on the outskirts of Charleston,
"a S. c., deformed negro boy was
playing with a little squirrel.
From time to time he would put the
little animal on his shoulder and scram-
BILE into the bushes. as IL In search of
something. Soon his woolly head would

on berries which he had gathered. SIM
liar occurrences might have been seen
at almost any time for several weeks
past, day and night being alike to this
little creature, who appeared to have
no want beyond life of freedom.
One day while apparently playing
gleefully no laugh or word issued from
his lips, though the squirrel was full of
pranks. After some time the boy jumped
to his feet and as noiselessly as an
animal sealed the nearest tree and
quickly concealed himself in the thick
foliage Of the topmost branches. This
peculiar conduct was soon explained by
the appearance OF some negroes. The
sound of their approaching footsteps
had sent the frightened child into hid
ing. AS it was growing late the route
through the woods was taken by many
returning home from their days work
I'm the fields, and this knowledge kept
the boy safe in his retreat. Soon par.
ty of men and women appeared. Among
them was negro of middle age. armed
with thick stick.
Looking around eagerly. he said: "You
lemme ketch um. I'll tan his black hide
fur um."

l When all was ence more quiet, the
little wanderer crept cautiously from
the tree and made sort Of bed Of the
leaves and branches. When about to
lie down. a sudden thought seemed to
strike him. Kneeling down. he clasped
his hands and raised his eyes IN prayer:
PLEASE. good Lord, bless me an doan'

He sought his bed and was soon In q

upon her in the evening. but he did not
come. and she shed tears OF disappoint-
ment as she lay down to sleep.
The next morning as soon as she
reached the office she telephoned vainly
TO the hotel Then she sat idle for near
ly two hours. Neither Iiarburg nor
Wrenn had appeared, but the former
came in about IL o'clock and immedi-
ately called for Carol. He was I'm an

Carol trembled at the thought of leav-
ing the office when II might cost her
the chance of seeing Stephen Fiske.
and yet she could not refuse the er-
rand. After all. IL he came for her he
could follow her TO the ship. She left
word where she was gone with the
small boy who opened and closed the
outer door. and she bribed him liber-
ally for both fidelity and secrecy.
