versation was giving.
AS lad. at the South. he had
often gone hunting. and he knew
it was a mistake to flush ones
game. The birds might take
fright and fly too soon.
The same rule applied to girls
and women. He must move
warily.
So he did not betray the sud-
den selfish interest that Wini-
fred's words aroused. Instead he
asked
What kind Of occupation do
you want? Do you-lIle myself

''Yes-you told me. 1t il won

UP from purely unselfish motives.
1t is an inspiration to know Of
any mans sacrificing himself for
his sister. and then for work that
cannot be congenial. such work
as you do" she ended Iamely.
She had too vague an idea Of
this mans work to be more
explicit in referring to It. She
was ignorant OF the needs Of the
laboring classes. A sudden sense
of this ignorance made her
change the subject by asking:
Don't you ever hope to take
up painting later?''
He shook his head with a wisu.

anyway. And then I may be
too old to accomplish anything"
Winifred's impulsive nature
made her oblivious Of discretion.
This handsome man. his dark
eyes, his rich voice and Southern
intonations, moved her deeply.
She leaned forward and laid her
hand on his arm.
You and I are both lonely"
she said softly. May we not
help each other by our friend
ship? Wouldn't 1t make you a
little less lonely II you could talk
to me of yourself-of the great
work you are trying to do?"
Again Richard Rankin was
wise. A less cautious man might
have seized the hand lying lightly
on his arm, might have spoken

Then Kestner sould stand it no
longer. He felt. that his moment
had come. and he made ready
for 1t.
Yet he did not spring into the
room. Every tense chord sud-
denly relaxed, for. quick Is
thought the scene had taken on q
new and quite unexpected aspect.
The door just beyond the screen
Of rose and gold had quickly open

reminded Kestner Of the opened
back window below stairs, for In
one hand this figure held a bur-
glars billy. One glance at that
roughly clad interloper, with his
narrow and rat-like brow, his
weak and vicious mouth, told only
too plainly what was coming.

But this mans father had been

correct thing at this juncture.
Agaln-he must not flush his

So he laid his hand on the
small white one for only an in

keep it secret for a while.
Were certain supporters Of the
conventional institutions for the
improvement Of conditions to
suspect what am aiming at,
they would block my plans. They
do things In their own way, ne.

to help the masses. They may
give people dry bread for their
stonachs, but they ignore the
fact that those people are heart

greater than the demands OF the
