Of II. though | don't quite know how
you have done IT,"
eagle had turned away his head, and
4 look that mingled pleasure and pain
passed over his features.
Within a few months after Brewster
had entered upon his duties he was
recognized as coming business man
OF the highest qualifications. eagle
had dropped back Into the old ruts, a
game here and game there for the
sake OF the sport, phll0sophlzing quiet
ly and watching with half hearted In
terest the procession OF humanity. Oc-
casionally he would pass the home
where Brewster lived and glance at the
name on the doorplate. Occasionally
Brewster thought OF eagle. and he rec
ognized the tremendous service the lat
ter had done him. And 1t was not
strange that he should think Of eagle
as he lay one day on his back at hos
pital crushed and bleeding form, the
result Of trolley accident.
He sent for eagle. but no one could
find man of that name. The dlrec-
tory did not give IT, No one among
the haunts that Brewster named knew
II. He then described the man minute
ly, and messenger was sent out. A
man answering the description was
found. and the messenger approached
him
'iAre you Dent CagleY was asked.
"Why do you ask?'
"A man named Brewster, who Is Sc
riously hurt
"You may call me eagle. Where is

a"I will take you to him."
Al eagle entered the ward where
Brewster lay he paused at sight OF a
woman who sat beside the cot. Deeply
concerned, her eyes were watching the
face OF her son. But the patient had
caught sight OF the visitor, and he
murmured eagerly:
"Caglep
Margaret Brewster arose quickly and
turned TO meet the man who had done
~ much for her son. Then, suddenly,
she bowed her head and held out her
hand gently toward the visitor.
"NOt Cagle," she said, "but Hugh
Hugh Morrison"
eagle, or Morrison, took the hand
that was offered him and covered 1t
gently with his free hand, too full for
utterance with the emotion OF an old
love that still burned In his heart.
aR"You saved me from a pretty bad
life. eagle" began Brewster from the
cot, "and just wanted to thank you
for it, What! Why, you two seem
to know each other How is thisi"
Allowing Morrison TO keep his hold
of her hand, she leaned forward and
whispered
" loved. him. son. before met your
father"
Aasleam Of satisfaction shot from the
boys eyes, preceding an expression Of
agony which came as he sought to turn
himself.

young mans forehead and said:
