Again the papers faunted their bold

soon ended. Hargreaves, the invin-
chile, had won another victory.
1t was not in a victorious frame of
mind, however. that he approached the
hotel dining room. In fact, his heart
was hammering away in great fear
that the girl whose very name was un-
known to him might not be there. Fof
an instant the lights and flowers dane
ed before him in confused crimson
blur, and then through 1t all her face
shone out white and radiant. AS her
eyes met his she arose, one hand out
stretched in greeting, while across her
face there flashed joyous welcoming
smile. The waiter looked up in as
tonishment at the jubilant sound Of the
lawyers voice.

The Azoons were dumfounded when
they learned on landing in the me-
tropolis from Syria that they would
be obliged to work for a living. The
steamship company's agent had given
them the impression before they sailed
that America was longing for the op-
pOrtunity to entertain them, that treas
uries from one end of the land to the
other were wide open and that they
would be welcome to help themselves
unstintedly and without cost to the
best the country had to offer.
When the first shock of the denoue-
ment had passed and conditions in the
new world appeared very much as
they were at home Father Azoon
found employment in big factory
where they made antique oriental
rugs, the little Azoons were bundled

amount to anything and altogether too
pretty to be left to stroll around the
Syrian quarters or anywhere else. for
that matter, In whilom idleness. Be-
sides, she ought to work-her father
and mother did.
Josef Tahan knew what he would do
about the disposition Of Sofie If he had
his way. He had known it from the
first moment he set eyes on her when
she came laughing into his store one
day with her mother shortly after the
Azoons landed The first flash Of her
dark beauty turned the world to pink
hue for Josef, and it continued to grow
pinker and pinker until at the end OF
month of nightly visits at the stufry
little Azoon fat. Of boat trips to Coney
Island, Of street car rides and OF recre-
