Franz" he cried reproachfully as
the heart to run away from me after
I've been lost for weeks? Nobody
knew I'd ever be found"
Fran gave up flight, and stopped to
look at him. A smile slipped from the
corner of one eye, to get caught at the
corner of her demure mouth. when
you disappeared, you left me yourself,
A friend always does. I've had you all
the time"
Abbott glowed. Still, it isn't exact
ly the same as If l had been able to
touch your hand. Suppose we shake
hands, little friend; what do you
say?"
Il don't say anything" Fran retort-
ed; Il just shake"
Her handclasp was SO hearty that
he was slightly disconnected. Was her
friendship SO great that 1t left no room
in her heart for something greater.
81 want to talk to you, Fran, talk
and talk, oh, just about all the long
night through! Come, let me take
you back home"
Home? Me? Ridiculous! But I'll
tell you the best place that ever was,
for the kind Of talking you and l
want to do to each other. Abbott, it
won't matter to you-will it?-at what
place l say to meet me, at about half
past nine?"
Why Fran! It's not eight O'clock"
Abbott demonstrated, ~glancing toward
the courthouse clock to find it stopped,
and then consulting his watch. DO
you think l am going to wait till"
"Till half-past nine," said Fran, non
chalantly. Very well, then"
But what will we do in the mean
time, if we're not to talk till"
WEI" she Knocked him. Listen,
Abbott, don't look so cross. I've a
friend in town with a sick daughter,
and she's a real friend so | must go
to help her, a while"
He was both mystiied and disap-
pointed. 81 didn't know you had any
such friends in Littleburg," he remon
strated, remembering how unkind
tongues had set the village against
her.
Fran threw back her head, and her
gesture was full of pride and conf
dence. "Oh!" she cried, "the town is
full of my friends"
He could only stare at her in dumb
amaZement.
"All right, then" she said with the
greatest cheerfulness, "at half-past
nine. You understand the date-nine-
thirty. OF course you wouldn't have
me desert a friend in trouble. Where
shall We meet, Abbott-at nine-thirty?
Shall we say, at the Snake-Eater's?"

But we are hiding" Grace said def

about, and he will go away"
why should we hide, anyhow ?" de-
manded Gregory, with sudden show of
spirit.
To that, she made no reply. If he
didn't know, what was the use to tell
him?
