could be supported. All in all, he is a
changed man"
Then will he acknowledge you?-
but no, no :"
You see? He can't, on account OF
Mrs. Gregory. There's no future for
him, or for her, except to go on living
as man and wife-without the secre-
tary. We imagines it would be a sort
of reparation to present me to the
world as his daughter, he thinks it
would give him happiness-but 1t can't
be. Grace Noir has found it all out"
Then she will tell" Abbott ex-
claimed, in dismay.
She would have told but for one
thing. She doesn't dare, and It's on
her own accounted course. She has
been terribly-well, indiscreet. You
can't think OF what lengths she was
willing to go--not from coldly making
UP her mind, but because she lost grip
on herself, from always thinking she

doesn't bear upon the main question"
Abbott, you don't know why went
to that show to act. You thought l
was caring for sick friend. What do
you think of such deceptions?"
Il think / understand. Simon JEFF
ferson told me of girl falling from a
trapeze; it was possibly La GoniZetti's
daughter. Mrs. jefferson told me that
Mrs. Gregory Is nursing some one.
The same one, imagine. And La Con-
iZetti was a friend Of yours, and you
took her place. so the mother could
stay with the injured daughter"
You're a wonder, yourself!" Fran
declared, dropping her hands to stare
at him. Yes, that's it. All these
show-people are friends OF mine.

what carnival company they'd have

Fran's face was a dimpled sea OF
pink and crimson waves, with starry
lights in her black eyes for signal
lights. "Oh. you king OF hearts!" she
exclaimed. And shall we have

Abbott laughed boyishly. "No-you
must remember that your connection
with show-life is at an end"
"But--and~ then-and So" cried
Fran rapturously, I'm to have home

carpets and things-a sure-enough

Abbott was inexpressibly touched.

Fran slipped her arms about his
neck. "And what somebody! To be-

Abbott, with a sober sense of his
unworthiness. embraced her silently.
