she tried to laugh, but it was no use.
Suddenly it came to Abbott Ashton
that he understood the language of
moon, watching woods, meadow-lands,
even the gathering rain-clouds; all
spoke of the universal brotherhood of
man with nature; BROTHERHOOD in
Guiding the most ambitious superin-
tendent of schools and homeless
Nonpareil; a brotherhood to be con-
firmed by the clasping of sincere
hands. There was danger in such a
confirmation, for it carried Abbott be-
yond the limits that mark a superin-
tendent's confines.
AS he stood on the bridge, holding
Fran's hand In a warm and sympa-
thetic pressure, he was not unlike one
on picket-service who slips over the
trenches to hold friendly parley with
the enemy. Abbott did not know there
was any danger in this brotherly
handclasp; but that was because he
could not see a f1eshy and elderly lady

evening, Professor Ashton"
Fran whistled.
The lady heard, but she swept on
without once glancing back. There
was in her none of that saline ten
dency that made of Lot widower;
the lady desired to see no more.
Fran opened her eyes at Abbott to

The young man did not betray I'M
easiness, though he was really
alarmed, for his knowledge of the
fleshy lady enabled him to foresee
gathering clouds more sinister than
those overhead. The obvious thing
to be done was to release the slender
hand; he did so rather hastily.

CHAPTER ~.
The Woman Who Was Not Mrs. Gre

The Woman Who Was Not Mrs. Greg
Dry.
Hardly had Abbott Ashton disap-
peared down the village vista of moon
light and shadow-patches, before
Fran's mood changed. Instead of
seeking to carry out her threat of
boarding the lion in the den, she sank
down on the porch-steps, gathered her
knees in her arms, and stared straight
before her.
Though of skillful resources, of i'm
pregnable resolution, Fran could be
respondent to the bluest degree; and
though competent at the clash, she
often found herself purpling on the
eve of the crisis. The moment had
come to test her fighting qualities, yet
she dropped despondently.
Hamilton Gregory was coming
through the gate. AS he halted in sur
prise, a black shadow rose slowly,
YEARLY. He, little dreaming that he
was confronted by a shadow from the
past, saw in her only the girl who
had been publicly expelled from the
tent.
The choir-leader had expected his
homecoming to be crowned by a
vision very different. He came up
the walk slowly not knowing what to
say. She waited, outwardly calm, in
wardly gathering power. White-hot
action from Fran, when the iron was
to be welded. Out of the deepening
shadows her will leaped keen as a
blade.
She addressed him, Good evening,
Mr.. Gregory"
He halted. When he spoke, his tone
expressed not only general disap-
prevail of all girls who wander away
from their homes in the night. but an
especial repugnance to one who could
laugh during religious services. do
you want to speak to me, child?"
Eyes" The word was almost a
whisper The sound of his voice had
weakened her.
What do you want?. He stepped
up on the porch. The moon had van
ished behind the rising masses of
storm clouds, not to appear again, but
the light through the glass door re-
vealed his poetic features. Flashes of
lightning as yet faint but rapid in re-
currence, showed his beauty as that
of young man. Fran remained ST.
lent, moved more than she could have
thought possible. He stared intently,
but under that preposterous hat she
was practically invisible, save as a
black shadow. He added again, with
growing Impotence, what do you
want?"
His anfriendliness gave her the spur
| she needed. II want a home" she
said decidedly.
Hamilton Gregory was seriously dis
turbed. However evil-disposed, the
waif should not be left to wander aim
lessly about the streets. OF the three
hotels in Littleburg, the cheapest was
not overly particular. He would take
her there. do you mean to tell me"
he temporized, that you are abso-
lutely alone"
Fran's tone was little hard, not
because she felt bitter, but lest she
betray too great feeling, Absolutely
alone in the world"

Fran was gleeful. "All right" she
cried in one of her childish tones,
shrill, fresh, vibratory with the mu-
sic of innocence.
BY this time they had reached the
foot-bridge that spanned the deep ra-
vine. Here the wagon-road made its
crossing of tiny stream, by slipping
under the foot-bridge, some fifteen
feet below. On the left lay struggling
Littleburg with it's four or five hun
dred houses, family twinkling, and be-
yond the meadows on the right, a
fringe of woods started, UP as If 1t did
not belong there, but had come to be
SEEN. while above the woods swung
the big moon with Fran on the foot
bridge to shine for.
Fran's hat dangled idly in her hand
as she drew herself with backward
movement upon the railing. The moon
light was full upon her face; SO was
the young mans gaze. One of her
feet found, after leisurely exploration,
a devastating board upon the edge
of which she pressed her heel for sup
port The other foot swayed to and
fro above the flooring, while little
hand on either side of her gripped the
top rail.

rebellious hair
Abbott Ashton studied her with
grave deliberation-it is doubtful If he
had ever before so thoroughly en-
joyed his duties as usher. He pro-
nounced judicially, you are older
than you look"

rience accounts for that. I've had

rying back to the telt, showed how

perience, for instance-are divided

smile-"And l don't think you are SO

aged to reduce diet to very simple

familiar as Mr.. Mopes in Charles
Dickens tom Tiddler's Ground"
Lucas lived mainly upon bread and
penny buns, though to these were
added at times eggs and herrings and
gin. A basket slung from the roof
out of reach of the rats served him as
a larder, and he abjured washing, all
furniture and clothes, wrapping him.

A generosity with gin made him the
friend of all the tramps in the king
