at the door to say:

The girl laughed In a pleased way.
Excellent public sympathizer is

many people fail from lack OF SYM
pathy and encouragemen as from lack
OF ability"
She had grown suddenly earnest, and
her eyes filed with tears. Hazard
leaned toward her in real distress.
80 silly of me-" she began, with a
little shake in her voice. But there
have been some rough places-places
where Mrs. Lofty, for instance, has
looked on from her luxurious life and
said: 4 hope you'n get on all right.

began her description once more.

comfortable. are less luxurious. In

An unmistakable chuckle escaped
from the old gentleman, and Hazard
and Miss Sherwin turned in his direc-
ton In surprise. But he was bowling
to the occupant Of belated carriage,
all unconscious apparently Of their ex-
istence.
II shall entertain good deal for my
poor friends-give them a chance to
meet interesting people and get out Of

sherwin resumed. But the rich ones
her eyes were dancing mischievously
-"I shall ask only on ordinary occa-

some dinners that won't make them
discontented with their lot"
They looked at each other and broke
into long and merry laughter. Haz-
ards worlaliness had vanished like q
cloud.

said softly. "and I'd like to work to

But the blushes were 50 violent this

with a bow he continued whimsically
II should very much like the pleasure
Of your company at dinner"-and he
made a gesture toward the Millionaires'

may come when I shall want to enter
that quiet little door on Fifty-eightt
street" And he glanced with kindly
eyes at the future mistress Of the
House Of the Loving Heart.
