across the street to explain to Miss Grace
that Fla Eye was not well.
Fla Eye waited until she heard Aunt Lou
moving the dishes In the dining room and
then slid quietly from the chair and stole
on tiptoe from the room. She glanced
across the street as she passed the front
dorr and shuddered, for Uncle Chad was
sitting by the angel, quite as IL there was
no danger. But then the angel had said
Uncle Chad was not good. No doubt he
was safe. Fla Eye turned quickly from the
horrifying sight
Quietly she climbed the front stairs and
ghded along the upper hall until she came
to the door of Uncle Chad's own room 1t
was just bit ajar, and she widened the
crack very quietly until she could lust sim

the dresser lay the case of razors she ba d
so often been forbidden to touch. She
opened 1t and ran her hand over them. She
even took one out. Surely that was a sin.
But that was not what she came for on
the other end of the dresser stood an OBJ

surrounded by little gold medals. Fla Eve
knew the box well. She kept her dearest
treasures in SIMILAR box Uncle Chad had
given her.
Now she raised the lid of the box ana
listened. Aunt Lou was still getting tea,
for the sound of the dishes came up the
back stairs. Fla Eye took from the box

stories, and gave them pretty cards to take
home and let them ask questions Fla Eye
asked great many and when she came
away she had learned something very i'm

girl some day the angel would come and
take her away: but If she was bad little
girl the angel would never, never take her
TO DO had was TO sin, and the angel never
took sinners.
Uncle Chad led the singing at Sunday
School and he always walked home with
Miss Grace. except when she walked with
Billy Webster. and today he and Miss
Grace seemed 10 have a great many things
10 talk about, so Fla Eye had nothing to
distupb her thoughts on the way home. 1t
was clear she had been making a great
mistake; she had been inviting the angel TO
carry her Off Instead Of being as good as
possible it was necessary for her TO be as
bad as she could. She must sin.
At Miss Graces gate Uncle Chad paused.
He was clearly not half through with the
interesting things he had to talk over with
Miss Grace.
Now. Fla Eye" he said, you run across
home, like a good little girl
Fla Eye stood and looked at Uncle Chad
She did not move. Her heart beat fast
with brave Righteousness. She was shock
ed by her temerity. but glad to be SHINING
1t was triumph over the angel.
Miss Grace smiled. Let her stay, Chad, +"
she said.
"All right You may stay" said Uncle
Chad. and Fla Eye felt her sinfulness pass
away. She was sorry. How could person
