too?" questioned the little boy as he climbed into her lap.
 "It's L,ut, daddy" said. Joan, Out promise me you'll be brave boy when tell you," and as a questioning look appeared in Sonnys eyes, Joan has. tened on, Hast night your daddy was at a fire when he tried to save MT. Wynne's cows, he got hurt"
 "Oh, my poor daddy exclaimed the little fellow as he tried to choke back his tears. Is he going to die, Miss Fairy?'
 "Oh, mo-" answered Joan as she held the little boy closely in her arms. He'll soon be alright but his arm is hurt and his poor head is aching so you mu=t be very. quiet today"
 Can't I see my daddy now?" he whimpered.
 "No, dear, not yet. Your aunt is taking care of him, but after the doctor sees him think you'll be allowed to go into his room for a. minute. You must be brave boy for daddy's sake, so come and we'll go down to Mrs. Jones' and you can play with the boys. Then the minute the doctor says you may see your daddy, I'll send for you," duu JOdu hlSScu tuC AAtNC DOy FcEy tenderly.
 "All right, Mis- Fairy, but are you sure I can't see him now?" asked Sonny as he looked steadfastly into loans eyes.
 Not just yet, dear,' answered Joan as she arose.
 Have you seen him?" questioned Sonny as Joan walked with him to the farmers house.
 "No, I didn't know he was at the fire until last night" she replied. On her return Joan entered the kitch- en to learn from Rosanna that Ru- pert was conscious again and that he seemed to be in less pain. Noticing the shadows in loans eyes, she said i: Just wait till the doctor comes. Maybe he'u order a change of nurses"
 Joan smiled and then grew serious as she wondered whether Rupert would think she was purposely avoiding the sick room.

 w ySonny was washing his hands,


 l<InH, ROSANNA, said Joan, while lss DSonny was washing his hands, r has Mir. Ransome come home yet? I guess he'll be surprised to learn about the fire"
 "Oh, Miss Joan, my dear," said Ros- anna, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes, "Mr. Rupert was at the fire"
 "Nothing's happened to him.? ques- toned Joan eagerly as she grasped Ros- anna's arm.
 ls'Yes, Miss Joan," answered Ros- anna, striving to choke back the sobs.
 "He's not and Joan's eyes re- vealed her fear.
 No. no my lamb. He's badly burned and his arms hurt, but he's here and he'll be all right" answered Rosanna. "Oh--and I never knew and 1 made such a noise when came in,' whispered Joan tensely.
 "That wouldn't disturb him-he's un- conscious. But don't take on 80. The doctor says he'll be all right. He's coming back again just as soon as he can get away from Wynne's. The shock of the fire upset the old man, for they say they cannot find his son." and Ros- anna put her arm about Joan.
 "Oh, dear! Can't I see Mir. Ran some now?" asked Joan as she looked upstairs. Isn't there anything l can do for him."
 q guess not. Mrs. Loves with him and she says she'll look after him." re- piled Rosanna, tossing her head in dis approval.
 @Then I'd better look after Sonny. Poor little chap he'll feel terrible about his father"
 "Why don't you get your supper, Miss Fairy" questioned Sonny a few minutes afterwards. Don't you like it or did Rosanna give you some cookies?" f
 "I'm not very hungry tonight, but wait until tomorrow" she said while her ears were alert for any sound that might reach them from upstairs. In the evening after Joan had tucked the small boy into his cot Joan went to the door of Rupert's room and asked if there was anything she could do. Mrs. Love very suavely assured her that her services were not required. For a mo- ment she felt mortified as she realized that Mrs. Love wished to emphasize the fact that she was merely the house. keeper. She wondered then if she had been mistaken in Rupert's kindness to her. Wearied with the incessant ques- tionings that arose within her heart she sighed as she flung herself upon her bed
 Next morning she arose early and ar rived in the hall just in time to prevent Sonny from entering his fathers room. Hurrying him downstairs she said, "Now, Sonny, we're going to have breakfast all alone this morning."
 Didn't Daddy come home?" ques- toned the little boy unconcernedly, for his fathers comings and goings were often uncertain.
 "Yes, dear. Now eat your breakfast and then Pm going to tell you some thing" promised Joan.
 "Now, Miss Fairy, I've finished and I'm ready to hear your story. Is it a secret or are you going to tell Daddy,

 But that wasn't an old tunnel; it was a new one. Miner himself might come along any minute. So Danny kept his ears open for any suspicious sounds By and by he came to a place where another tunnel branched off. He hesi- tated a minute, then kept straight on. He had gone but a little way when he heard sound behind him which made him stop and listen. Some one was coming behind him It was Miner the Molei He must have come out of that other tunnel just after Danny had passed it. Danny didn't wait second He took to his heels and ran with all his might. Behind him he could hear Miner and he knew by the. sound that Miner was in terrible rage. He had discovered that some one was in his tunnel With all his might Danny hoped that there was an opening at the end of the tunnel, for if he had to stop to dig his way out Miner surely would catch him and that would be the end of him.
