1t was past eight when Katharine
woke up. Mile. de samarie was stand.
ing before her.
I-I-I-~hes~~your PARDON said
Katharine, Il have been asleep"
you've slept for three hours and
more, Miss. Pretty tired you must
have been to sleep in all this racket" !"
"Fye been walking about all night
because 1 had no nioneI.H1s :. :. =
"Have you, now? All night? Just
think! And a lady. l should say-Mell,
now, miss,.df' you'd like to brush your
hair and Wasf your face and make
yourself tidy upstairs, you can" = :
Was there eter-a better Samaritan?
Katharine followed her She would
have cried again, but, that she was
stronger, being no longer hungry. But
she kissed that woman of Samaria
when she game away, and when For
tune smiled 'Hpoa her once more; she
sought her out, and shed tears when
she found hat the good creature was
gone, and that no one knew where she
was to be found.
Thea. refreshed Z and strengthened
ind with renewed hope, and with six
pence out of the policeh1an's shilling
n.s.her band,y Katharine went forth
again for the third days tramp.
She Thought that perhaps if She VENT
back. TO. St. James Park she might.
find Lily waiting there for her, or per-
haps DittlefrB6ck. ~ :. s@'f -
Katharine walked slowly up and
down the whole length of the walk.
Dittmer Book, she now remembered,
must be in the. cit: at his office. If
she only knew where that office was!
There was no sign of Lily anywhere.
She left the walk and went into the
park. There she sat down, and tried
to think What was to- be done next.
She thought that she would go to
Doughty street and see her old friend
Mrs. Emptage again. Perhaps there
might be some help even from that
poverty stricken household. - -..-.
She walked all the way from st.
James Park to Doug lty street. It is
q good step. You go along Long Acre
and Great Queen street and Lincoln's
Inn Fields and through Gray's Inn.
For a girl who has been walking about
all night it is. longish walk. For
tlfnateIy she had eaten a good break
fast, but it was at five in the morning.
When Katharine arrived in. Doughty
street she found. that the <Emptage:
family had gone away, and they had
left no address.
1t was about eleven o'clock. Kath-
arine turned away wearily. BY this
time she had fallen into that strange
state of mind when nothing seems
to matter. The Emptages were. gone
and they had left no address. !. This,
intelligence affected her very slightly.
She saw that there was a gate on
the left hand side of Gray's Inn open,
and that it led info q Garden where
there were trees and grassland seats.
She turned IN, took sfhe first bench,
and sank down upon II. AT the other
end of the bench sat a young lady
dressed in deep mourning.>
'Y5u. +I6Rafired;"' :saidc. the young
lady, presently; :.syou look ill-are you
i'll? Can be of any service to you?"
Katharine turned upon her in reply
eyes so haggard, facezszso worn, so
full of despair and migerg; that this
young ladE>.started and shuddered.
'Tell me-, She sliid, ,..s 3 y Hat ii. means:
Tell me wiiiss stasy d1. 1I.'' { :
Katharine ffed to speak, but. She,
was past speaking. Her head dropped.
and she would haye fallen feTWard
