breakfast. You must be starving. Let
me in!"
rs it safe?'
Perfectly. The man is fast asleep"
Minna unlocked the door, held 1t as
little ajar as possible, while Brenda
squeezed through, then turned the key
in the lock and took it out, and before
her sister realized what she was doing
she raised the sash of the window and
flung the key far out upon the ground.
"Minna!" Brenda's face was scarlet,
her eyes flashed and she stamped her
foot, nearly upsetting the tray. You
cruel, heartless, selfish girl! How could
you? How could your"
Minna laughed, a little frightened,
but triumphant. I've saved you-yes
and that's all the thanks 1 get! But
1 know father will say 1 was right.
OF all the silly, quixotic, mad things
you've ever done, Brenda, this is the
worst!"
Brenda regained her self-command.
She turned toward her sister and said
quietly, "You had better eat some food,
now I've brought it; but l would never
have come near you If l had guessed
you would have behaved so meanly."
st shall eat nothing unless you do"
da, who was already busy Matching
plan of escape, and recognized the
necessity of being fortified for her en-
deavor, began to eat and drink.
Had Brenda been able to observe
what was going on below she might
perhaps have forgiven her sister more
readily. In the kitchen a man was
engaged in divesting himself of tattered
raiment and assuming with great sat-
isfaction the comfortable garments the
hostess of the Sea Gull had placed 50
conveniently ready. Spying a pair of
shooting boots standing on trees, he
put one on his right foot and then he
tried the left one; but evidently it
caused pain, and he took it off and
looked about for some easier footgear.
A pair of wide and rather worn Bal
morals, belonging, in fact, to Nat,
seemed to offer greater comfort, and
the man discarded his first choice in
favor of these. Then he attacked the
tempting meal, quaffing the good sher-
ry with relish. and making no scruple
about accepting charity transferred
the coins on the table to his pockets.
Having swallowed hearty meal with
all possible speed, he appropriated the
sandwiches, and then rolled his dis
carded garments into a bundle and
thrust them into the bottom of cup
board, not needing that a sock fell

some loose silVer-and placed them in
little piles upon the table. Then she
cut more of the fowl, and set out lit
tie meal, with wine for drink, deter
mined to feed the fugitive well before
she sped him on his way.
Brenda next went upstairs to find her
sister and reassure her. Surely the
most timid of girls could have no fear
of this manned man, too weak and ex-
hausted to kill a fly.
She knocked at Minna's door, at first
softly, and afterwards more and more
loudly.
"Minna! Minna!"
No answer.
'Minna, answer mel"
The reply came in an angry voice:
IF you choose to harbor a ruffian and
behave like a perfect idiot, / can't pre-
vent you. l warned you against this
man. He killed a gentleman on the
moor last night. If you slip in quickly
I'll open the door"

man you'd know that there is nothing
terrible about him."
Il have seen him. He's an awful
looking manageable of any violence.
Oh, Brenda, stop being so sillyI He'll
murder you," she sobbed.
Brenda laughed gently. Hes fast
asleep in fathers chair Come and I'll
show you" She ratified the door handle
but Minnas only reply was an angry
exclamation, and Brenda went to her
own bedroom to perform her neglected
duties and remove her working garb.
AS she moved about her thoughts were
full of her protege. That small sum
would last him but a little while. Was
there anything elese she could give him
that he could turn into money? She
took off her brooch and her gold watch
and chain, and laid them on the table,
then added two gold bracelets from her
jewel case to the heap. The only trou-
BILE was, how could he get rid of them
without endnagering his liberty?
The hands of the watch marked 10,
and a wave of remorse passed over
Brenda. Her poor little frightened sis
ter, who had taken that long tramp to
the farm, and had no breakfast! How
dreadful of her to forget, and-why-
she had had none either!
She went downstairs, tripping at the
bottom over the broom which she had
left standing in the passage, and as
she picked herself up she fancied she
heard a slight movement in the house.
The clatter had perhaps disturbed her
patient and she peeped into the par
lor to see if he had moved; but the
heavy breathing told of unbroken
sleep, and she went on to the pantry,

Boston Sculptor Tells How Femal,
Form Is Being Ruined.
mat woman's figure ilas been ruined

OF Hugh Gains. the Boston sculptor
He says:
Woman's figure is getting. poorer
and poorer every year. The women Of
today are getting further and farther
away from the Greek figure of 1000
years ago.
As one instance Of this, those who
determine what Is fashionable are try
ing to bring the waist line farther
down all the time. At present an eff
fort is being made to get 1t down as
low as the hips. This is all wrong. Of
course, for nature long ago determined
that 1t should be just below the breast,
allowing soft, graceful line from hip
to armpit. So long as fashion dictates
that the waist shall be close to the
hips. SO long will we have women with
bulgings lumpy hips and other defornl.

II women would have just such
waist as they seek-the beautiful that
we see In classic paintings and sculp-
Iure, the waist that characterized the
