CHAPTER VIII.
A Last Revolt.

II proved a restless day, and a suf-
ficiently unpleasant one, for Mr.. Hamp-
ton. For a number of years he had
been diligently training himself in the
school of cynicism, endeavoring to per-
suade himself that he did not in the
least care what others thought, nor
how his own career ended; impelliuS
himself to constant reclllessness in life
and thought. He had thus successfully
built up a wall between the present
and that past which long haunted his
lonely moments. and had finally de-
cided that it was Theoretically sealed.
Yet now, this odd chit of girl. this
waif whom he had plucked from the
jaws of death, had overturned this
carefully constructed barrier as if it
had been originally built of mere card
board and he was compelled again to
see himself, loathe himself. just as he
had in those past years.
One thing he grasped clearly,-the
girl should be given her chance moth
ing in his life must ever again soil her
or lower her ideals. Mrs. Herndon
was right, and he realized it; neither
his presence nor his money were fit to
influence her future. He swore be-
tween his clinched teeth, his face
grown haggard. The suns rays bridged
the slowly darkening valley with cords
of red gold, and the man pulled him.
self to his feet by gripping the root
of a tree. He realized that he had
been sitting there for hours, and that
he was hungry.
Down beneath, amid the fast awak-
ening noise and hustle of early even
ing, the long discipline of the gambler
reasserted itself-he got back his
nerve. 1t was Bob Hampton, cool, re-
sourceful sarcastic of speech. quick of
temper, who greeted the loungers
about the hotel, and who sat, with his
back to the wall, in the little dining
room, watchful of all others present.
And it was Bob Hampton who strolled
carelessly out upon the darkened porch
an hour later, leaving a roar of laugh
ter behind him, and an enemy as well.
Little he cared for that, however, in
his present mood, and he stood there,
amid the black shadows. looking con-
temptuously down upon the stream OF
coatless humanity trooping past on
pleasure bent, the blue smoke circling
his head, his gray eyes glowing half
angrily. Suddenly he leaned forward,
clutching the rail in quick surprise.
kid" he exclaimed. harshly, what
does this mean? What are you doing
alone here?"
She stopped instantly and glanced
up, her face flushing in the light
streaming forth from the open door
of the Occidental.
II reckon I'm alone here because l
want to be-" she returned. defiantly.
Il amt no slave. How do you get up
there?"

The man smiled slightly, not In the
least Disconnected by her plain speech.
Probably we departed from the hotel
somewhat earlier than the minister
anticipated he explained, quietly, his
old ease of manner returning in face
of such open opposition. Il greatly re-,
greet your evident prejudice. madam,
and can only say that have more con-
fidence in you than you appear to have
in me. l shall certainly discover some
means by which | may do my part in
shaping this girls future, but in the
meanwhile will relieve you of my I'M
desired presence"
He stepped without into the glare
of the sunlight, feeling utterly care
less as to the woman who had affront-
ed him, yet somewhat hurt on seeing
that the girl had not once lifted her
downcast eyes to his face. Yet he had
scarcely taken three steps toward the
road before she was beside him, her
hand upon his sleeve.
Il won't stay" she exclaimed, fierce
ly, Il won't, Bob Hampton. I'd rather

His sensitive face flushed with de-
light, but he looked gravely down into
her indignant eyes. "Oh, yes, you will,
Kid" and his hand touched her rough
ened hair caressingly She's a good,
kind woman, all right, and l don't
blame her for not liking my style"
"Do-do you really want me TO stick
it out here, Bob?"
1t was no small struggle for him to
say so, for he was beginning to com
prehend just what this separation
meant. She was more TO him than he
had eyer supposed, more to him than
she had even been an hour before, and
now he understood clearly that from
this moment they must ever run far
Their apart-her life tending upward,
his down. Yet there was but one de-
cision possible Then he answered,
This is your best chance, little girl.
and | want you to stay and fight it
out"
Their eyes met, each dimly realiz.
ing, although in totally different way,
that here was a moment of important
decision. Mrs. Herndon darkened the
doorway and stood looking out.
We'll, Mr.. Bob Hampton" she ques-
toned, plainly, what is this going TO
be-"
He glanced toward her, slightly lift
ing his hat, and promptly releasing
the girls clinging hand.
Miss ellis consents to remain" he
announced shortly, and, denying him
self so much as another glance at his
companion, strobe down the narrow
path to the road A moment the girls
eyes followed him through the dust
cloud, a single tear stealing down her
cheek. Only short week ago she had
utterly despised this man, now he had
become truly more to her than any
one else in the wide, wide. world
Then Mrs. Herndon came forth quietly
and led the girl, now sobbing bitterly,
within the cool shadows of the house.

which felt the greater uneasiness at

steps they approached that tall, home
ly yellow house-outwardly the most
pretentious in Glencaid.
They were so completely opposite,
these two, that more than one chance
passerby glanced curiously toward
them as they picked their way onward
through the red dust. Hampton, sleu-
der yet firmly knit, his body held erect
as though trained to the profession of
arms, his features finely chiselled with
threads Of gray hair beginning to shoe
conspicuously about the temples. His
attire of fashionable cut black cloth,
and his immaculate linen, while neat
and unobtrusive, yet appeared eX-
tremely unusual in that careless land
of clay-baked overalls and dingy
woolens. Beside him, in vivid con-

shoes and bedraggled skirts, her sullen
eyes fastened doggedly on the road,
her hair showing ragged and disreg-
utable in the brilliant sunshine.
Hampton himself could not remain al
together Indifferent to the contrast.
You look a little rough, Kid, for a
society call" he said. IF there was
any shebang in this mud-hole of a
town that kept any women's things on
sale fit to look at, I'd be tempted to fix
you up a bit"

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.


The following colloquy is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry,
under orders to support section OF
Capt. Reillys battery, were halted for
quite a while on a perfectly fiat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. OF course, to
lie fat ON the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. AS a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were ''plopping" down the
road and kicking UP the gravel, a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike, what do the British SOL
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as a flash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
SORT"
After a full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:

the girl, sullenly. That is, if like it,"
The woman continued to gaze at her

the pleasant blue eyes hardened as
their vision swept beyond toward
Hampton.

The girl backed partially off the
