thought Of himself by that name
awoke TO full consciousness at eight
O'clock the next morning. He was in
the room he had occupied before In
Santoine's house; the sunlight, re-
Iected from the lake, was playing on
the ceiling. His wounds had been
dressed his body was comfortable
and without fever.
He saw and recognized, against the
lighted square Of the window, a man
standing looking out at the lake.

The man turned and came toward
the bed. Eyes, Hugh"
Eaton raised himself eXcitedly upon
his pillows. Lawrence, that was he

Lawrence-you at least will. They
got away on a boat-they must be fol-
lowed" With the first return Of
consciousness he had taken up again
that battle against circumstances
which had been his only thought for
five years.
But suddenly he was aware that his
sister was also in the room, sitting
upon the opposite side OF the bed. Her
hand came forward and clasped his f;
she bent over him, holding him and
fondling him.
1T is all right, Hugh she wills

SO now he is very angry he says no

most wonderfully-that it must have
been Latron in the study. He has
been working all night-they have al

1t true?'
"Yes; quite true, Hugh" Hillward
chOked and turned away.
Eaton sank back against his pill

still with questioning for a time, as
he tried to appreciate what he just
had heard and all that 1t meant TO
him-dampened suddenly as he real
lied that it was over now, that long
struggle to clear his name from the
charge Of murder-the fight which had

you were smiling all over yourself.
And, house, I've seen YOU said, oh, 50

when you were afraid. House, you've

"Oh yes" said the house, "and oh,

1T is sickness that makes me afraid,

Gnome.
"Oh, it was so wonderful when that

seemed so hopeless. He could not
realize 1t to the full as yet; conceal
ment. fear, the sense of monstrous
injustice done him had marked so
deeply all. his thoughts and feelings
that he could not sense the fact that
they were gone for good. So what
came to him most strongly now was
only realization that he had been set
right with Santoine-Santoine, whom
he himself had m~isjudged and mis-
trusted. And Harriet? He had not
needed to be set right with her; she
had believed and trusted him from the
first, In spite Of all that had seemed
against him. Gratitude warmed him
as he thought of her-and that other
feeling, deeper, stronger far than
gratitude. OF than anything else he
ever had felt toward anyone but her,
surged up in him and set his pulses
wildly beating, as his thought strained
toward the future.
"Where is-Miss SantoineT" he
asked.
His sister answered. "She has been
helping her father. They left word
they were to be sent for as soon as
you woke up, and I've just sent for
them"
Eaton lay silent till he heard them
coming. The blind nan was unfa.
miliar with this room; his daughter
led him In. Her eyes were very
bright, her cheeks, which had been
pale, flushed as she met Eaton's look,
but she did not look away. He kept
his gaze upon her.
Santoine, under her guidance. took
the chair Hillward set beside the bed
for him. The blind man was very
quiet; he felt for and found Eaton's
hand and pressed 1t. Eaton choked
as he returned the pressure. Then
Santoinc released him.

NOT REALLY BAD DEFINITION
Small Girls Comprehensive Statement
of What Constitutes "Queer" Peo-
Pile Had Germ of Truth. I

When DR.. James NJ. Nicol, q mis-
sionary in Syria, was in this country,
he was addressing a Sunday school on
the subject Of the country where he
lived. He was e~ndeavoring to make
the small listeners of his American
audience understand something of the
strange land and the strange people Of
Syria. He said that the Syrians were
queer people. Realizing that some OF
his smaller hearers might not under
stand what he meant by queer" pcO-
pie, he asked:
"Do you boys and girls understand
what | mean by queer people? What
sort of people are queer people?"
Then he waited expectantly for an
