the straightforward smile of the Lucky

around his mouth that she could not

she said, not quite so simply as before.
"I amt had no friends since been mar

He hesitated and stopped abruptly, as
he became conscious that the woman was
paying no attention to his catalogue of
diseases, but that her eyes We're fastened
on his face with the warm glow in them
that comes only for good friends.
Lucky" she cried. "Why, Lucky!"
He looked at her in astonishment 1t
was the nickname given him in his school
days; but he had almost forgotten it.
"Why-why, where'd you get that"
He had no recollection of this tall, tired
looking woman.

tome, Lorna Doone Matthew'S"
She put her baby down and brushed her
little girl aside in order to stand more
clearly away from the present.
"You--Lorna Matthews!"
He looked from her to her rosy-cheeked
daughter as if searching in the child and
the woman for the fourteen-year-old girl
who had been the first heroine of his boy
dreams. And suddenly he found her
found her in the fresh radiance of the child
and the sweetly gentle eyes of the woman.
"Why, of course; | know you now,
Lorna. You are her, amt you? And
gee! what memory for faces you got,
to remember me spite of the years and
the way | must of changed! Because |
have changed-ain't |, Lorna?"
He asked the question fearfully like
man wasted with illness and afraid of the
effect on his friends.
Her frank brown eyes searched his face
"Well you-you don't exactly look like
the President of the United States |
thought once you was going to be that,
Lucky" she said, with the smile that had
remained bashful in spite of the years.
"And somehow you-you seem older than
you ought to be at thirty. But guess the
cowboy lifes pretty hard on fellow"
she added in quick apology.
"Pretty hard, he replied
And he looked so care-worn and tired
as he said it that she invited him in
immediately, and made him sit at the
table while she hurried out into the
kitchen and got him some cookies and
cold milk.
HE followed her with eager eyes while
she put shining tumbler and red
and-white fringed napkin before him, and
he wondered how he could ever have for
gotten how pretty she was, with her face
as gently beautiful as some woodland
flower, and her yellow hair that lay about
it in soft, sunny tendris.
"This is some sweet little home you
got, Lorna. 1t was poor and very tiny
but it breathed a revivifying wholesome
ness and peace that put it as far away
from the lodging-houses he had lived in
as she was far away from the women he
had known. "And-and that's some cute

girl to her little brother.

He moved his chair back from the table
and regarded her with suddenly steadied
eyes.
"You amt the kind it's easy to forget,
Luck" And she colored as if at an un-
intentional confession, and all of her
youth came back with the blush.
"Now tell me about your family,
Lucky" she changed the subject abruptly
-"your wife and children.
81 amt got none, Lorna"
"They dead?"
She looked at him quickly-she had
"No," he laughed grimly; "I never had
none
"That's pity" she said; and all of
the sympathy that she had lavished on
him in his minor school-boy troubles, but
deepened now, welled to her face dts
hard to lose 'em-but it's worse, | guess,
if they've never been.'
"You amt lost nobody Lorna"
Her eyes We're on the distant hills, and
there was mist in them that made him
realize that his schoolgirl sweetheart had
known her tragedies. too.
"NIy man, Lucky" she told him. "Not
dead-but he's in the State asylum over
there. They say he might never get well.
She drew her little girl impulsvely to
her, and deep shadow darkened her
face and of sudden made it seem old.
THE man was awkwardly silent before
her suffering. He glanced furtively
toward Lorna Her arms were still around
the little girls shoulders, but the shadow
had gone from her face as if she had driven
it off by sheer force of will and there was
that in her eyes now which dozens of
prison chaplains he knew would have given
worlds to have been able to put into their
sermons. 1t was a look that got to his
heart and made him want to drop down
on his knees before her and pour out the
whole story of his sins and offer to begin
life anew. Only-with her-with her

"And things have been harder and lone

table-cloth.

"But amt you got your own work,

leather bag.
He shrugged his shoulders.

these many years, looking at him with
clear, unfinching eyes and steady lips and
that in his face which meant to conquer
the universe. Then slowly, as he looked,
the boys ruddy cheeks grew sallow, and
his mouth dropped weakly at the corners,
and into his eyes there stole the restless,
shifting glance of one who has lived too
long beneath the surface of the world.
Hell, said the man to himself, you
was never like that kid; you had the
devil in you to start with"
But he knew that he was lying to him
self. A sudden impulse, so benevolent
that he felt ashamed of it, came over him
to reach out and save the boy Rush from
fate like his. 1t would be a simple
matter to find him.
But he fought the impulse as another
man might have fought the impulse to
evil. And at last he won out.

himself. "Let them big-wigs up at Hart
ford pass a few laws to make this night
work a mans job. And let 'em see that
their officers enforce 'em. Thatll save
Rush and plenty like him."
And he rose from the bench, and with
furtive glance around to make sure that
nobody was following him, he slouched
out of the little park.
AT his lodging-house he found letter
from Nell:

The big social event of the sea-

Friday evening at the opera
house. The committee in charge
of the event had been working
hard and when the guests began
to arrive they found the hall ar.
tistically decorated with fes.

scheme being lavender and
white. Numerous coy corners
were placed about the hall and
amply provided with cushions.
AS ladies arrived with their
gentleman friends they were
provided with with a small bow
of lavender ribbon while those
in attendance pinned to the lapel
of the gentleman's coat a dainty
bouquet of violtes. Shortly after
eight thirty o'clock the Grand

dancing continued, except for a
