Then it came again, still low but

knocking continued. Should he ig-

nod and turned away.

found Oswald sitting with face buried

The Hut CHANCES Its Name.

the Hut Changes ltS NAME
That night Oswald was taken very
i'll. For three days his life hung in
the balance, then youth and healthy
living triumphed over shock and be
reavement, and he came slowly back
to his sad and crippled existence.
He had been conscious for a week
or more OF his surroundings, and OF
his bitter sorrows as we'll, when one
morning he asked Doris whose face
ii was he had seen bending over him
so often during the last week: Have
you a new doctor? A man with white
hair and a comforting smile? Or have
| dreamed this face? l have had so
many fancies this might easily be one
of them"
mo, it is not a fancy" was the
quiet reply. Nor is 1t the face OF
a doctor. 1t is that of friend. One
whose heart is bound up in your re-
covery; one for whom you must live,
Mr.. Brotherson."
81 don't know him, Doris. It's q
strange face TO me. And yet, it's not
altogether strange. Who is this man
and why should he care for me so
deeply?"

Il will do 1t alone;" but he knew
even then that he could not. Two
hands were necessary TO start the
car; afterwards, he might manage It
alone. Descent was even possible, but
to give the contrivance it's first lift
required a second mechanician. Where
was he to find one to please him7 And
what was he to do II he did not?
Conquer his prejudices against such
men as he had seen, or delay the
attempt, as Oswald had suggested, till
he could get one OF his old cronies
on from New York. He could do mel

such as to offer an invincible barrier
against either suggestion. One alter
