but at that moment she moved on again,
There is a point, near the lie de la
Cite, where the Seine projects an elbow.
The girl followed the elbow round, and
stopped at the angle of it. She leaned her
arms on the coping and gazed down at
the quiet, still water below
SHE was looking at it with such preoc-
cupation that Raleigh was able to come
close to her before he spoke. He, too, put
an arm on the parapet at her side.
Looks peaceful, doesn't it?" he said.
The girls head rose with a jerk, and
she stared at him, startled. She failed to
recognize in this tall young man the
sprawling figure in the Tuieries gardens.
"I-I-who are you?" she stammered.
"What do you want?"
He answered in tones of careful con-
ventionality.
I'm afraid | startled you," he said
"Pm sorry. l shouldn't have ventured to
speak to you at all if you hadn't" He
paused. "You don't happen to remember
me at ALP he asked.
"No, said Annette. "If hadn't what?'
He slipped hand into his pocket and
drew forth the five-franc piece.
"I happened to fall asleep in the Tui-
leries gardens this afternoon he said.
"Idiotic thing to do, but
"Oh" The color leaped to her face.
"Was that-you?"
Raleigh nodded. "You had hardly
moved away when a man who had been
watching you tried to pick my pocket, and
woke me. He pointed you out"
Annette gazed at him in tired per-
plexity. Now that he was on his feet, the
condition of his clothes and hands and
the absurd black patch on his chin were
noticeable only as incongruities; there
was nothing to suggest the pauper or the
outcast in this big youth with the pleasant
voice and the strongly tanned face.

where like that-you'd be so surprised
and glad when you found it." She sighed.
However, l was wrong; I'm sorry"
I'm not!' Raleigh put the money
back in his pocket swiftly ats the most
splendid thing that ever happened to me.

you're no good to anybody. but if the
worst comes to the worst, you sha'n't

Annette shook her head.
"I didn't say that she answered.

"Please," said Raleigh. He saw that

to me, at any rate. But there is one

She did not answer. gazing over her
clasped hands at the water.
"It was while l was following you here,"
he continued. al was watching you as
you went, and it seemed to me that you
were-well, unhappy; in trouble or some
thing. And then | saw you open your
purse and throw it into the river"
"There was hole in it, said Annette
shortly, without turning her head.
But he spoke very quietly. "You
are in trouble? Yes, know I'm intruding
upon you'-she had moved her shoulders
impatiently-4but haven't you given me
Just the shadow of a right? Your gift
it might have saved my life if I'd been
what you thought; l might have fetched

Her fingers upon the parapet loosened
and clasped again at that.
"You can't bind me with such an obli-
CATION as that and leave me plante ld."
"Oh!" Annette sighed aIf you want so
much to know-I'm a typist; I'm out of
work; I've been looking for it all day,
and I'm disappointed and very tired"
3And that's really ALP he demanded.
"All!" She turned to look at him at
last meeting his steady and penetrating
eyes quietly. She had an impulse to tell
him what was comprehended in that "all."
But, even while she hesitated, there came
to her a sense that he knew that the
gray eyes in the red-browp face had read
more of her than she was willing to show.
"Yes, that's all, she said.
He nodded, quick and businesslike
little jerk of the head.
81 see. I've been worrying you, I'm
afraid, but I'm glad l made you tell.
Because can put that all right for you
at once, as it happens
THE girl leaning on the wall drew in a
harsh breath and turned to him. Young
Raleigh, who had written a monograph
on engineering stresses, had still much to
learn about the stresses that comfort and
warp the souls of men and women. He
learned some of it then, when he saw the
girls pale face deaden to a blanker white
and the flame of hungry hope leap into
her eyes. He looked away quickly.

He hushed her with his brisk little nod.
Il mean can find you situation in

plicitly. wasn't that what you wanted?'
"Yes, yes" She was trembling; he put
one large grimy hand upon her sleeve to
steady her. "Oh, please, where is the
Office? I'll go there at once, before" /,

well, it's more than that he smiled.
"A typist with Raleigh & Son at her back

A taxicab drifted on to thequay. Raleigh
beckoned with a long arm.

carefully she leaned forward and let the
foroad coin slip into the pocket among the
papers. Then, with an end of smile on
her lips, she turned again and departed.
Among the trees, the lean youth in the
j black cotton cap watched her go.
A DAY that eliminates in sleep upon a
F. = bench in a public place is commonly
a day that has begun badly and main
tanned it's character. In this case, it may
be said to have begun soon after 8 A. M,
when young Raleigh, junior member of
Raleigh & Son, stepped from train and
into the nearest drug store to have his
chin-cut in trying to shave on the train
patched up with two inches of black
court plaster. On the train the night
before Raleigh had planned his day: he
would arrive in Paris at eight-thirty, call
on several business houses, and get back
to the station at two for the Calais train.
But, in the first place, the train was late,
| ndfrom that time onh his plans went wrong.
His first visit, on the manager of foun-
dry, did not have the results he had
Phoped for, and took too much of his
precious time. The next was on some
machine-tool people on the other side of
Paris. Finding a little difficulty with some
of the new steels, Raleigh went into the
shop to demonstrate his idea, standing
to the machine in his tweed clothes while
the swift betting Slated at his elbow and
fragments of shaved steel and fine spray
of oil welcomed him back to his trade.
1t was not till it was finished that he
looked at his watch and realized that he
had missed the two o'clock train.
He paid off his return cab in the Place
de la Concorde, and stood doubtfully on
the curb, watching it skate away into the
traffic. His baggage had gone on by the
. two o'clock train; he was committed now
to an afternoon in those ancient clothes
with the oily stigma of the workshop upon
them. His hands. too, We're black from
his work; and he had slept badly in the
train, and done without bath,
"Tll wander up to the Meurice and get
a wash, anyhow" he decided, and turned
to stroll through the Tuileries gardens.
He went slowly-it was pleasant among
the trees; and when seat in the shadow
offered itself he sank down into it, crossed
one leg over the other, and his eyes
closed restfully.
sTHE touch that reused him was very

his eyes noted the amused contempt on
Raleighs face, and he paused an instant
like man taking aim,-"and when l saw
the lady slip the money into Monsieur's
pocket while he slept. and reflected that
he would never know he had lost it"
"Eh?' Raleigh sat up. "What lady?
What are you talking about"
"It's not minute ago." replied the
youth, discarding the whine "See she is
perhaps not out of sight yet, if Monsieur
will look along the path. She approached
Monsieur cautiously, while he slept, and
slipped the money into his pocket. Yes,
Monsieur, that was the pocket.
He smiled as Raleigh plunged hand
into the pocket and drew out the coin
"She is going out of the gate now,
Monsieur he said.
Raleigh turned. At the farther end of
the path the woman pointed out to him was
close to the exit; in few seconds more
she would be gone. He could see of her
nothing save her back-that and certain
quality of carriage, gait measured and
deliberate. He threw a word to the thief.
"All right; you can CO." he said, and
started after the secret bestower of aims.
"And me?" the outraged thief cried.
"And me? get nothing, them"
The serge-clad back was disappearing
through the gate into the welter of sun
light without. Raleigh sprinted along the
tree-shaded path. He picked upa view of
the serge-cad back again, walking toward
the bridge, fastened after it, and slowed
down to it's own pace when he was still
some ten yards behind.
why, it's grill"
Somehow, he had counted upon finding
an elderly woman, some charitable &C.
centric who acquired merit by secret gifts.
He saw, instead, a slim girl, neatly and
quietly clad, whose profile, as she glanced
across the parapet of the bridge, showed
pearl-pale in the shadow of her hat, with
a simple and almost chldlike prettiness
of feature. There was something else too,
"a quality of the whole which Raleigh had
no words to describe. But he saw it,
nevertheless gravity, character of
sad and tragic composure, that look of
defeat which is prouder than any victory.
Something wrong!" he said to himself
vaguely, and continued to follow

leigh, keeping well be-
hind, his wits acutely
at work, wondered what
it reminded him of, that
slow trudge over the
pavements. A little
farther on an incident
enlightened him.
She stopped for a
minute andleanedupon
the parapet. He crossed
the road to be out of
sight in case she should
look back. She had
been carrying in her
hand a purse, and now
he saw her open it and
apparently search its
interior, but as if she
knew already what to
expect of it. Then she
closed it and tossed it
over the parapet into
the river.
"Ah!" He knew now
what that slow, aimless
gait suggested to him.
He recalled evenings in
London when he walked
or drove through the
lighted streets, and
