Abbott crimsoned. Was she right?
was he not something very nice plus
his vocation? He found himself des-
perately wishing that she might think
so.
Fran, after one long glowing look at
him, turned to the lad in disgrace. and
placed her hand upon his stubborn
arm. ''Have you a mother?" she
asked wistfully.
"Yeh," mumbled the lad, astonished
at finding himself addressed, not as
an ink-stained husk of humanity, but
as an understanding soul.

presence of two listening men, "but

EnaIand's Oldest Bowling Green.


Which is our oldest recreation?
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However.
when 1t comes to actual records. the
fine old English game Of bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton. Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
greens was in existence in 1899.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer fire jack"
competition Is held. and an order Of
knighthood is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels In the center of the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with a sword and dubs him sir"

mustn't DO anything human here. you
must be an oyster at school,"
"Aw-right," said Jakey, with glim-
mering of comprehension. He seemed
coming to life, as if sap were trucking
from winter-congealment.
Bob Clinton, too, felt the fresh
breeze or early spring in his face. He
removed his spectacles.
"The first thing knew" Fran said.

my birth he deserted mother. Uncle

"Lemme stay" Jakey pleaded. not

Fran lifted her face above the
tousled head to look at Abbott; she
sucked in her cheeks and made a
triumphant oval of her mouth. Then
she seemed to forget the young mans
presence.
"But when mother died, real trouble
began. It was always hard work, while

Fran now completed her work. She
rose from the immovable Jakey and
came over to Abbott Ashton, with
meekly folded hands.

that Fran's subjugation might take

"Waitin' to be whipped" was the de-

She darted toward the door, then
looked back. Sadness had vanished
from her face, to give place to sud-
den glow. The late afternoon sun
shone full upon her, and she held her
lashes apart, quite unblinded By Its
intensity. She seemed suddenly IL.

squeezed his cap in an agitated hand.
All four hurried out into the hall as II

Unluckily, as they passed the hall

were caught by group seated on the
veranda of the Clinton boarding house.

Fran had grasped the plot. That cloud
