GETTING AROUND IT NEATLY
Peculiarly Subtle Way in Which Girl
Softened the Force of Her
Stern Reouke.

Foolishly he asked her for a kiss;
naturally she said mo-" bravely he
took it, anyway; angrily she put him
away; scornfully she told him what
she thought Of such action, and meek
ly he stood for the same old bluff.
Il am surprised and mad at you'll"
she said, and she looked every bit of
1t. Il don't. think a gentleman would
do such a thing; and now, if you are
going to stay here this evening, /
don't want you even to touch me, but
let us sit here and talk like sensible
people"
Thoroughly cowed, he agreed.
Seeing, however, that she had
ried her little bluff too far and he
was taking her seriously, . she made
use of a bright idea.
will you promise to be good
now?" she asked.
yes"
well, let's shake on it"
Solemnly they shook hands.
Now" she said, with a cunning
and meaning little twinkle in her eye,
you have touched me already and
broken your promise. So, being as
you have gone that far, you might as
well go ahead and break the rest Of
your agreement."-Judge.

CHAPTER ~.
The Woman Who Was Not Mrs. Greg.

The Woman Who Was Not Mrs. Greg.
DRY.
Hardly had Abbott Ashton disap-
peared down the village vista Of noon
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. sl.
%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 cam 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 a 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?"
yes" The word was almost a
whisper. The sound Of his voice had
weakened her.
What do you want?" He stepped
