country solitude. Like all reprehens-
ible habits this one was presently to
revenge itself by getting the 'profes-

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 WEAKNESS 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.
1t was when he suddenly discovered
Fran in the flesh, as she slipped along
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 enc
my? But now was no time for intro
spection, and he set himself the task
of solving the new mystery. AS Fran

Abbott dived into its bowels. but when
he reached the next street, no Fran

he felt nameless shrinking of the
heart, Surely not. But could she DOS
sibly, however feet of foot, have
rounded the next corner before his
coming into the light? Abbott sped
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.
1t seemed to him a long time before
he reached the corner He darted
around it-yonder sped Fran like a
thin shadow racing before the moon.
She ran. Abbott ran. 1t was like a
foot-race without spectators.
At last she reached the bridge span
