kathereen had been spending I'M
afternoon At the art exhibition. Whei
she was leaving she pushed her wal
through the hall. and near the dool
passed the same gay group who had
caught her attention once before
They did mot see her this tine. she
was sure; Louisa wns eagerly crifi
cising picture with . tall young lady
and her brother was leaning over his
pretty blonde companion with some
laughing remark. No. they did mot
see her; she ran down the stairs. and
walked quickly along. the crowded
thoroughfare. trying not to think.
Why did she feel 20 hurt and angry.
and 30 inclined to cry? Why should
they have cared to recognize her--a
girl In shabby gowns II was more
than . year since they had seen her.
and then only for . few weeks-but
they had been such good friends dur
Ing that short time. True. II was In
q country village. where there was no
fashionable society. and boarding at
the same farm house. they were
thrown much together: and she was a
very pleasant companion and had the
knack Of finding the Smallest rides.
and the hooks where the blackberries
grew thickest
II II had been anyone but Louisa
and-and DR.. Leigh, She checked .
rising SOB. and turned into . side
street. II was almost deserted. and
hardly half square away was q tall
young man. coming toward her. She
recognized him instantly. and her
first impulse was TO turn back. But
no, he might have seen her-she
would not run away. She threw her
head proudly up. and looked straight
before her. He might recognize her
now-he was alone; but she would
not see him. He vas quite near now.
and her heart was beating fast Would
he pass her by!
Miss Graydon!" The joyful sur
prise In his tone sounded very scn-
uine. but she would not notice II.
How do you do. DR.. Leigh?" she
said ccldly. ignoring his cutstretch-
ed hand. Her expression changed.
Are you not going to shake hands
with me. Miss Kafherine?"
She put her hand unwillingly into
his.

In South Benton street" She took &C.
pecial satisfaction In naming the un-
fashionable quarter.
Katherine was IN orphan and was
trying hard 10 cultivate her voice. She
managed to make ends meet by tax
ing pupils Of her own.
They walked on In silence . few
minutes. They had turned into .
street where the houses were tall and
shabby and built close together.
And you are living down herey
he said. indicating the seemingly end
less row Of houses. alone. Miss
Katherine?"
