 Y ORD LOVELAND's habit was to give wide berth to common
 people if chance, the democrat, 4A threw him near them. with the exception of '"Tommies,' who for him as a soldier were a class by them selves, a class in which he recognized humanity that touched his own. He did not love ugliness or shabbiness which as like as not meant microbes But he had come down so near to the depths of reality tonight that he had no sense of his own superiority or in- clination to shrink away when the mans hands touched his as they took the rescued animal

 The shabby one laughed "I ain't paid for my lodgin's,'' said he, ''and if I had you'd be welcome after what you done You can have me for doormat if you like.''

 Under the big tree that roofed the seat moon rays dripped between branches like water that trickles slow Iy through holes in old netting. A man who had been huddled asleep on one corner of the bench was on his feet holding out eager hands to take the dog from Loveland, shabby figure even in the dim light with a hatchet face thin as a new moon. that glim- nered pale between the black blot of a frowsy hat and the tnky blur of a turned up coat collar.

 Miss Milton is a child,'' answered Miss Milton's father. "She daren't say her souls her own if her mother says it isn't. and Mrs. Milton has reasons over and above what any one else may have for not wanting to know you in front of me-"
 "Over and above what any one else may have?" Val repeated, lost in sur prise at this turning. 'fWhy should she or any one have reasons for not wanting to know me? That's the thing I should like to find out. Per haps you'll be good enough to explain the mystery-if you can- What has Major CadwalIader Hunter been doing to put all New York against me?"
 ''So far as I can see, it wasn't the major who set the ball rolling, though, of course, he'd like people to think he was on to it from the first. And it seems he heard you give yourself away a bit to a girl one day on ship board, or says he did. But let's not discuss that now. What you are or what you did before you stepped on board the Mauretania is nothing to me. The game you and I are in together. as it's up to me to show you, is this: You're in pretty bad scrape, and you
