Two Meetings.


Next morning Pedro awoke with a
sense of strangeness upon him, and
instinctively stretched out his hand
to touch Mr.. Jones, who always slept
beside him. Bit the bear was missing.
Instead of a rough, warm coat that
heaved sleepily beneath his hand, he
touched a coverlet soft as silk At
this. his sense of uneasiness increased,
and with an effort he opened his eyes
and sat up. All, yes! He remembered
now. Mr.. Jones was gone. Gone with
1.-THE sanction Of his master, gone per-
haps never to return! One by one
the events of the preceding evening
came back to his mind. His hesitancy,
Hills arguing with him, the details
of their compact, and his final agree
ment to the extraordinary proposal.
All, yes! and Hills writing Of the two
letters, one of which gave him, Pedro,
possession of the apartment in which
he now found himself. The other to a
friend Of Hills to be delivered on the
morrow-that was today-today.
Slowly he let his gaze travel about
the comfortable little bedroom in
which he lay. It's furnishings were
simple in the extreme, yet adequate.
Opposite him stood chest of draw
ers, mahogany, and old. There were
brushes on it and a few simple ebony
toilet necessities. At the foot of the
bed was a door, half closed. The

teeth when young.
I'm reply ne told me that his people
in Sweden considered bread unfit for
food il less than three weeks old.
There is no doubt that the use OF the
jaws in vigorous mastication is the
source of stimulation toward their de-
velopment and the source Of the pres
ervation Of the teeth after they erupt.

pendent on the stimulation Of exercise

several pages, and handing the oper

For another little space Hill was
silent, turning over the sheets in his
hand. There were perhaps twenty
sketches in the pad. From his scru

Pedro. Could the boy be telling the
truth? Had he actually drawn these
things? They were remarkable. Surely
such a one as had done them would
be famous, for work like this was not
to be hid easily. Indeed, it was amaz'
ingly good. 1t was the work OF born
craftsman. But Pedros face showed
no signs Of uneasiness. On the con-
trary, his eyes were alight as he ex'
planned who the people were.
DO you like my drawings?" asked
Pedro, suddenly self-conscious, deep
flush spreading over his face and neck.
Like them!" was all Hill replied,
but at the tone of his voice Pedro's
eyes sparkled.

That Which Ie No Robbery.


Meanwhile Sam Hill had flung him
self into the street, and into state
of mind which was the reverse Of en-.
viable. Reason was suddenly impos-
sible. The arguments which he had
advanced to Iris but q moment since
now failed him, and his one master.
ing, overwhelming thought was that
he had lost her.
1t had all happened SO suddenly that
the shock left him gasping. Probably
she had never really cared from the
first, he thought, for had she ever
been in love with him she could not
have dismissed him on SO fimsy a
pretext.
While this passed through his brain.
he had been walking rapidly, and after
a few moments, coming upon Wash
ington square, he flung himself upon
one of the benches near the center,
stretching his legs out straight in
front of him, folding his arms, and.
frowning under the tilted brim of his
hat, he sat modify staring into space.
Darkness had not quite fallen yet,
and all about him poured the home
ward-bound crowds from the neigh bor-
ing shops, factories and offices-an IN
ceasing stream, varied as the nations
of the earth.
Quieter and yet more quiet grew
the square. At this hour the virtuous
were eating in their homes, while the
wicked fed in luxury over there to the
northwest, where already the white
flare of middle Broadway was flung
against the darkened sky, Over all
hung the indef1nable yet definite
spirit of the city! intricate, throbbing,
fraught with the joys and horrors OF
civilization.
And Sam Hill still sat glowering out
upon the scene.
"Oh, the wonder of it," said q low
voice at his elbow.
With an effort Hill aroused himself.
the aching trouble in his heart pulsing
painfully at the return to conscious
ness Of his own personality. Had some
one spoken to him? 1t was only his
fancy, perhaps! Suddenly something
cool and damp and Enthusiastically alive
thrust itself into the relaxed palm OF
his hand, ca1sing him to start up.
Then the cool thing shot forward, leav-
ing his hand upon a rough coat OF
fur. An animal! What could 1t be?
Great Scott" he exclaimed, all
alert. In the darkness beside him
