CHAPTER xIII.-contInued.

Here, as they warm themselves be-
fore the fire. .Tomasso remarks: Il
have little to offer you, dear mistress,
but some dried sleeps fiesh."
"Pish! hunger is nothing. You
are alive, dear old Tomasso." re-
peats the girl. as he again
mumbles her hand. Still the
young lady's eyes seem happier
when Barnes, opening his haversack,
throws out cans of preserved meats,
potted chicken and timed biscuits;
also tea and coffee and tin cups and
plates. These being followed by box
OF cigars, the American emits a snor
Of joy. and remarks: Little Leboet
is genius"
Immediately all together they go to
work to make a mountain supper.
Soon after, as they eat. Barnes re-
marks: This is a mighty curious CO.
incidence. Do you know. old Tomasso,
that Saliceti, the young politician
here, the one who is to marry your
daughter, Etheria, has sworn a ven
delta against me for putting the troops
on your track and getting you shot to
death?"
"A vendetta against you? Well. it
was his duty, seeing he is to marry my
daughter. had your soldiers killed me" !"
returns the old Corsican, In his simple
way.
A moment after, however. he chuck
les to himself: Per Dio, that was
what Rochini and Romano wanted me
to do today was to kill YOU"
Those awful monsters" shudders
Marina.
What makes you think that, Mon
aldi?" asks Barnes, surprise upon his
face.
We'll, this Rochini and his mate,
have been run out of Rotondo, the
farmers there having got tired of their
sheep disappearing too rapidly, and
have come over to this mountain. To-
day these two approached me some
four hours ago and said: Brothes
bandit out of job. join us. A mes
senger has been sent ahead and we
are going down to help Saliceti make
votes for himself by killing the Amer
icano down in the vale toward Gu
agno.'"
Hum! then you did not accept" re-
marks Barnes. lighting his cigar.

gold with him. cried Rochini. For

no. and the two went on their way.
They are down the valley now"
That is not all Of It," says Barnes
earnestly. Your loved mistress-her

Whatever is the cause, the plain shirt

Z IT1ATIENTLY enough the family
1,5 ~ had endured Frank Framely's
l fads until he became q vege-
tartan: An overindulgence in
turkey at the Thanksgiving feast had
been followed by fasting, repentance
and the adoption Of the vegetarian
i cult Steaks gave place to salads and
lamb to lentils. wherefore the spare
pennies Of the Framely youngsters
were invested In ham sandwiches and
smoked beef instead OF cake and
candy. .
It had been bad enough when Frame
" had adopted the thorough mastica-
ton fad and the entire family had col
emnly chewed its food to the loud
click of the metronome. It had been
worse when all hands slept in tent in
the back yard because Framely had a
cold and feared consumption, but even
with an approved vegetarian kitchen
| within half a mile it was difficult to
give variety to the menu with only
| vegetables as foundation. i
j The younger Framelys refused to re-
gard nut ragouts as fit substitutespfor
their mothers savory steWs, and the
hospitable soul of Mrs. Framely was
tried by the evasive excuses of those
who were invited to dinner. The poor
little woman considered It necessary to
explain that they were now vegeta-
rians, and so anticipatory smiles faded
from expectant faces as the owners
thereof mentioned transparent previ-
GUS engagements suddenly recalled.
Finally she pleaded with her hus-
band for a turkey for Christmas, to his
, great horror.
"Just for one day." he repeated aft
er her. "My dear, would you plead
with me to feed my innocent children
on diet of poisons for Just one day?'
No. have ordered beautiful mock
turkey from the vegetarian kitchen.
They assure me that it tastes exactly
like the bird. and it is nodded into the
same shape. The children will not
know the difference if they shut their
eyes,"
"But they can't eat their dinner with
their eyes shut" protested Mrs. Frame
ly feebly. Her husband regarded her
with mild sorrow.
"If only they might eat with their
eyes truly open.' he lamented, "open
to the danger that turks within the
dead flesh they would stuff their stom-
achs with. Some day they will thank
me for saving them from the evils and
miseries Of the flesh EATERS

fore his wife could find an answer to

pretty things that please children al
ways and especially so at Christmas.
Presently from darker, poorer
street tiny slip of girl came timid-
ly around the corner. and, glancing
about anxiously to see that no one
was in sight, she stole up to the win
dow of the little shop and began
feasting her hungry eyes upon it's
beautiful treasures. She was very,
very thin and pale, and her clothes
were but shreds and patches, yet her
eyes sparkled, and there was the joy
of Christmas in her heart just to look
at the good things.
For a minute or more she stood with
her wan little face pressed close
against the glass, and then she drop
ped to her knees before this shrine of
Santa Claus and clasped her hands to-
gether as we see pictures of children
at prayer. Her upturned eyes were
closed, and the light fell upon her
face very softly.
In the shadow of the houses across
ing Now he came stealthily over to-
ward the shrine, with the child on
her knees before it. AS he reached
the curb he heard her voice, trem-
bling and uncertain:
z"NOw ! lay me down to sleep !
pray the Lord my soul to keep. If ]
should die before wake, pray the
Lord my soul to take. And, oh, Sanity
Claus, l do want dolly and some
candy for Christmas! Amen!''
She had said the only prayer she
knew, and as she rose to her feet
again the policeman touched her on
the shoulder She started suddenly
and would have run away, for these
street waits fear the big policemen
but he held her.
"Come with me;'' he said. and she
began to cry.
He took her into the little shop. and
when she came out again she held q
yellow haired doll. fiercely to her thin
little breast with one hand and in the
other she carried two bags Of candy.
As she looked up to the big police
man be saw in her face what he had
seen as she knelt before the shrine ,o1
Santa Claus, and he bent down and
kissed her. good night, - William J
