"Yes, Mr. Blaine. And whatever
money is necessary for the investiga-
ton, will, OF course, be forthcoming
from this source"
Let me strongly advise you to
make no mention OF 1t to anyone else;

Thus 1t was. that when two days
later, President Mallowe of the Street
Railways, called upon his new ward,
she received him with downcast eyes,
and a charming deferential manner.
His long-nosed, heavy-jowled face,
with the bristling gray side-whiskers,
flushed darkly when she placed her
trembling little hand in his and shyly
voiced her gratitude for his great
kindness to her.

She is darling-but a great re-
sponsibility." sighed Julia as she
walked along Then she caught her
breath with a gasp of surprise, and
stopped short
For there, on the corner, right in
front of her, stood Kelley Delane, his
hat in his hand, smiling and evidently
waiting for her.
For a second after she saw him, Jul
liza felt strong impulse to turn and has
ten in the opposite direction. Calmer,
second thought told. her such move
would be foolish. Delaine had seen
her and knew she had recognized
him. She walked on, and, when she
came abreast of him, tried to pass
him with slight inclination of the
head, but he was not so easily snubbed.
He lifted his hat, and, making no eff
fort to stop her, fell into step at her
side. His first words, and the embar-
rassed maner in which he spoke them,
checked Julia's rising indignation.

Marvin, or l should not have taken

rudeness. Ill am not a-well, a

that they are not especially willing to
talk to me. You must believe that
won't you?"
There was a boyish appeal in his
voice, and Julia's tone was kinder
than she had meant it to be when she
replied.
"Of course I believe you, Mr.. De
laine," she answered him. "'What

Until Julia was sure he had not

her and Caryl, she would postpone
her decision against him. OF course,
II he had planned a little surprise for
both sisters, he could hardly retract
his invitation to the younger one

with the other girls at her counter,

could not join in the light laughter
Of her companions.

Already it had escaped the braid
and fell about her face in straight,
clinging whisps.
And she could not curl it tomorrow.
There was no way to attach her cleo
trio curler. She pictured the blonde
woman, at breakfast in the dining car,
expuisitely coiffuered. Then she pic
tured her own hair brushed unbecom-
ingly straight under her hat
She had no kiL curriers', but she
could do it up on hairpins- The next
moment she was cropping in her hand
bag for comb and pins. When again
she lay back on the pillow, or1stling
row edged her forehead.
A creaking sound from above, and
Warrens stockinged feet and pajam-
ased legs dangled from the upper
berth.
"Stuffy as the duce up there" as
he dropped down beside her. Why
in thunder don't they ventiiate those
upper berths? Room enough for us
both down here?"
Why, yes, dear-of course. Do you
want to lie next to the window"
NO, this's all right, only don't root
me out. Hello, what's here"
That's my satchel. Just shove 1t
down to the foot"
Helen lay with her face to the win
dow, staring out at the flying poles
and treetops, obscured at times by
the trailing smoke from the engine.
Where are we now" demanded
Warren, as with kissing steam and
grinding brakes the train slowed
down.
Raising on her elbow, Helen gazed
out on a long, dimly-lit platform.
It's big station. They're putting
on a lot of trunks"
Must be Brattleboro. We're in
Vermont by this time"
A flash of light from swinging
lantern, shouting voices, tolline
bell, a shuddering lurch - and they
pulled out with gathering speed.
But the swaying motion of the train
failed to lull Helen to sleep. She was
still thinking of her hair. Had she
been doing it too hurriedly in the
morning? Was that the. picture War
rem always had of her?
Restlessly she turned, goaded by
her ranking thoughts.
What's the matter-can't get tc
sleep?" This roads pretty rough
along here"
"Oh, no, it isn't that love the

his shoulder.

Polly saw him disappear down the

her father, who was a Confederate
officer, was back at home. and this
Union man might take him prisoner.
She glanced at the saddle-hags slung
across the saddle-they might con-
tain just the information her father
wished to take back to his lines.
Polly did not hesitate; running to
the top of the we'll, she grasped the
ladder and had dragged it up out of

what was happening.

And with that Polly was gone. Lead

own front yard, and was greeted by
her surprised father with shout.

Polly's father.

When the ladder was let down the
young man lost no time in running UP
quickly.
