 Well, I rather guess not!" cried Bob. Think I'll refuse Fran's first re- quest?" He sped upstairs, uncom- monly light of foot.
 Now" whispered Fran wickedly. Tets run of and leave him"
 I'm with you!" Abbott whispered boyishIy.
 They burst from the building like a storm, Fran laughing musically, Ab- bolt laughing joyously, Jakey laugh ing loudest of all. They sallied down the front walk under the artillery fire of hostile eyes from the green veranda. They continued merry. Jakey even swaggered, fancying himself part of it; he regretted his short trousers.
 When Robert Clinton overlook them, he was red and breathless, but Fran's beribboned hat was clutched triumph antly in his hand. It was he who first discovered the ambuscade. He sud denly remembered, looked across the street, then fell, desperately wounded. The shots would have passed unheed- ed over Abbott's head, had not Fran called his attention to the ambuscade.
 Its a good thing" she said inno- gently, that you're not holding my hand" and she nodded toward the boarding house. Abbott looked, and turned for one despairing glance at Bob; the latter was without sign of life.
 What shall we do?" inquired Fran, as they halted ridiculously. 'If we run for it, it'll make things worse."
 "Oh. Lord yes!" groaned Bob; don't make bolt!"
 Abbott pretended not to understand. Come on, Fran, shall go home with you" His fighting blood was up. In his face was no surrender, no, not even to Grace Noir. Come" he per sisted, with dignity.

 No" Abbott returned definitely. He had done nothing wrong, and he re- sented the accusing glances from across the way. No, I'm going with Fran"

CHAPTER xI.
The New Bridge at Midnluht.

The New Bridge at Midnight.
 It was almost time for summer va cation. Like all conscientious superin- tendents of public schools, Abbott Ash ton found the closing week especially fatiguing. Examinations were nerve testing, and correction of examination papers called for late hours over the lamp. Ashton had fallen into the reprehensible habit of bolting from the boarding house, after the last paper had been graded, no matter how late the night, and making his way rapidly from town as if to- bathe his soul in country solitude. Like all reprehens- ible habits this one was presently to revenge itself by getting the "profes- sor" into trouble.
 One beautiful moonlight night, he was nearing the suburbs, when he made a discovery. The discovery was twofold: First, that the real cause of his nightly wanderings was not alto gether a weariness of mental toll; sec ond, that he had, for some time, been trying to escape from the thought of Fran. He had not known this. He had simply run, asking no questions. It was when he suddenly discovered Fran in the flesh, as she slipped along a crooked alley, gliding in shadows, that the cause of much sleeplessness was made tangible.
 Abbott was greatly disturbed Why should Fran be stealthily darting down side-alleys at midnight? The wonder suggested its corollary-why was he running as from some intangible ene- my? But now was no time for intro spection, and he set himself the task of solving the new mystery. As Fran merged from the mouth of the alley, Abbott dived into it's bowels, but when he reached the next street, no Fran was to be seen.
 Had she darted into one of the scat tered cabins that composed the fringe of Littleburg? At the mere thought, he felt nameless shrinking of the heart. Surely not. But could she pos sibly, however fleet of foot, have rounded the next corner before his along the street that he might know the truth, though he realized that the less he saw of Fran the better. How ever, the thought of her being alone in the outskirts of the village, most as- suredly without her guardians knowl- edge, seemed to call him to duty. Call or no call, he went.
 It seemed to him a long time before he reached the corner. He darted around it--yonder sped Fran like thin shadow racing before the moon. She ran. Abbott ran. It was like a foot-race without spectators.
 At last she reached the bridge span ming ravine in whose far depths murmured little stream. The bridge was new, built to replace the foot bridge upon which Abbott and Fran had stood on the night of the tent meeting Was it possible that the su- perintendent of instruction was about to venture a second time across this ravine with the same girl. under the same danger of misunderstanding. re- vealed by similar glory of moonlight? Conscience whispered that it would not be enough simply to warn; he
