ly pretty bad weather. 1 think l had
better put on my sweater If I am going
into the city with master this morning.
And SNOWFALL was right; it was bad
weather, for. neither showing or rain
ing, it was doing a little of both, and
everything was covered with a glare
OF slippery. treacherous, ice, and it was
unusually cold. Kit and Puff looked
with amazement when SNOWFALL came
out with the red collar of his sweater
drawn as far as IT would go up around
his neck. completely covering his con-
lar and partly covering his face.
You are not going in town a morn
ing like this?" they asked as SNOWFALL
started toward where the team was
standing. 20 yes said SNOWFALL. "Tn'

the old tabbies around here. When

ice and a little cold weather drive NE
under the stove," and, flirting his tail
saucily, he jumped up on the seat of
the wagon to wait for his master.
In town there were a number of long
waits while goods were being bought or
delivered, and one of the longest of them
was in a part of the town where Snow

How dare you talk of insult? What
have you done to your sex? You have
insulted It. You have degraded It. You
have made of the most sacred contract
a garment to cover the nakedness of
your soul. You have sold yourself
for money, and dared to use the mar

find words for the feelings that rushed
up from his heart. But before he could
speak she said abruptly, Good night"
and, very pale, marched out of the
room.
The following afternoon. as David was
helping Rogers with the last of the
packing for the Western trip, which
was to be begun that night, a messenger
brought him a letter. Before opening
it, he looked with some surprise at the
st. Johns Hospital printed in one
corner of the envelope. 1t read:
Dear Sir-There has just been

wagon, woman whose name
seems to be Lillian Drew, judging
from a packet of old letters found
on her person. AS your address

name cleared. himself winning his
way unhampered into honor, free to
marry Helen-he saw a long stretch
of happiness in work and love.
On reaching the hospital, he was led
