 she didn't leave no kind of word of any
 kind at all. Law mel I don't know her
 address; never heard of it-only t she lived in the city an taught school"
 and the next evening Stannard was
 back at his home in the city laying
 plans for the retrieving of Ellen Kem-
 ble, the missing.
 The telegram suggested that she had
 not fled from him, but 1t also suggested that she must be in trouble. In any event he was compelled to make haste to reach her. If she should be in need there was reason for hurry. and if she
 sh ould not be in any need that he could
 answer there was still reason enough, in the wording of David's note, why
 he mould yet hurry.
 But whther was he to hurry? He had no idea of her address, and no clue
 to her beyond the fact that she had reach ed the city.
 out of Kembles and Kimballs in plen- ty the city directory yielded only four Ellen Kembles, and inside of day he had traced three of tn em to a negative conclusion. But the fourth address, which he believed to have been hers, had given place to an excavation for a u.w building, and no one knew any
 thing of her.
 She had been in the movement for the Kane place playground, and he knew she had been a teacher in one of the schools, but which one? The teach
 ers' register told him 1t was the Ninth avenue school and 1t was the only thing that told him anything. The opening of school was five days away, so he could not walt for that. He hunted up the principal of that school. only to be staggered by the news that while for two years Miss Ellen Kemble had been one of his best teachers, she had not been re-elected- why he did not know-and he could tell nothing of her whereabouts or her friends There was no question of her identity. for as he described her, a slender. pretty girl, whose brown eyes lent wonderful charm to sweet face, and who was devoted to a younger brother. there could be no doubt. Then he remembered David as q pos sible cine. If she were not in sch ool it was probable that David was She might have gone into some other work. hut she would not take him from his lessons. So he began a systematic combing of the grammar rooms of the

Miss Kemble, it seems to me that 1t is a fine thing for one to interfere, even at the cost of blows, in defense of weaker one who is unable to defend himself; but it seems to me an elemental necessity that one must defend himself against tyranny and insult and imposition, at any cost-or else lose all there is in him that has value in life and character

 No, but in my dealings with men. There was a case in town that you may have heard of-the struggle for block of Kerwin street for playground for the Kane place school?"

 "Yes. l know"

Nothing else. And it won!' ri umph shone from her face as she said It..
 Kindness, forgiveness and gentle per suasion against such a monstrosity as Martin Reepl And she believed she had conquered that animal with kindness! And here he was misunderstanding her small brother for battle with Bub Lutes.
 It had been a ticklish and intricate task to arouse Davids dormant power of resistance to the fighting point. If there had not been certain show of manliness under his almost girlish ex- terior, it Is probable that Stannard would not have tried to awaken him. But that awakening had been Weftly and delicately accomplished; piece of work comparable in fineness with some of the manipulations that had made Stannard a power and almost wonder ir his world of large activities.
 They walked one afternoon, he and the meadow to the old country grave yard that Stannard so well remem- bered. By the side of a sunken grave he sat down in the shade of tree and called the boy to him.
 It was a rather long but very inter- esting story that Stannard told his young friend while they rested there, and 1t was all about that Andrew Win ker, country school master, beside whose grave they sat and talked: about him, and Stannard's first days Of school ing, and another Bub Lutes, who was low minded bully with special de- light in troubling Philip Stannard, who was smaller and loved peace.
 He drove me around David" said Stannard, till I was the coward of the school. Worst of all, I know myself that l was a coward. Any boy who chose could impose on me or do me harm, and be safe There was no fight in me-till the evening Andrew Film

 You do pretty well with the gloves, David. but you want more practice in your footwork. You will need to be live ly in getting away, you know and you want to watch your wind closer. Draw the other fellow on to do the rushing. but you simply stand him off till his breath is gone. You know you must take good care of yourself. And you want to get little more steam into your blows. They fall a little short. We want to work them up next time until they land just right. Now, let us go and hunt up your sister and see what she is doing ,"

 Stannard accepted the gracious invita- ton but David had other enterprise awaiting his attention. He fingered. half shy and hestant, near his friend. but at last he drew near and asked with ex- treme boyish respectfulness, the loan of Stannard's knife. Stannard paused in his talk surveyed the boy Tn leisurely way. and, with much deliberation, drew from his pocket small buckskin case with bright clasps. From this he slipped the finest pocketknife David had ever seen. He turned it over and over inspecting 1t with critical approval, while the boy

He told me of brave men by the dozen, from the old times on down, men who were as gen tie as women till they were reused by some wrong. some cruel. cowardly, hateful deed such as Bub delights to do to you--and lions to fight when they were aroused In this way.
 And then, David" staid Stannard, his voice tender with sympathy, after this good friend of mine had shown me that I must whip this bully he taught me how to do it-he was a clever box er-and 1 went in one day and did it; and that night my Bub Lutes sneaked his books from the school house. and that was the last l ever saw of him till he came up again to torment you"
 "To torment me?' The boys eyes grew large with the wonder of his ques- tion.
 Yes, to torment you That Bub Lutes I fought was the father of your Bub Lutes-and just as great a bully and Just as great coward
 But, MT. Stanard-do you believe 1 could?' The boy fairly trembled with eagerness and excitement as he spoke.

 And so the coming king of the leather trade became a coach and tutor 10 a young gladiator whose enemy had left him no choice but to fight; and thus was he placed, after more than two weeks of hard training, when he learned from the sister of his protege that he was likely to fall into utter disgrace with her and lose that which he had begun to see he must

At last he said: David this knife has your name engraved on the handle, and l am inclined to think 1t be- longs to you-if you like it" He passed it, with pleasant smile, into the eager hand of the boy, accepted his stammer- ing thanks with all the courtesy of dis claimer he could have shown if David had been a man and the obligation thousandfold grea ter and smiled delight edly when the boy bounded away, Tn sheer happiness with his new treasure
 They sat in silence a few moments. and then Stannard said: 'I fear that some of David's adventures here have not been exactly pleasing to him, and, from what you say l imagine that they must nave been about as dlsagreeable to you.
 "You mean-that boy?
 "Yes. that young ruffian, Bub Lutes.' '

 Stanndard sat very still. Something In her communication had sent a chill all through him and set him thinking so busily he could not gather his words for speech; but presently he smiled, a little grimly, and said: And for me, tooi'
