She came straight to Elossie and

Upsher one day last spring missed
a train from Washington He had
thereby a claim for SO against the
Pullman Company. He filed the
claim. Weeks went by and his 50
didn't arrive.
He wrote again. The Pullman
Company replied that it had paid
the money by check and that the
check had been cashed at the Union
Station in Washington bearing this
double endorsement:
Hon. j. w. Upsher.'
"W. ID. Upshaw."
Then it was clear to Upsher. Up
shaw had got his check. Not only
that. but he had cashed it-had in
dorsed it with both names and re-
ceived the money That seems to
have aroused a strain of ironic an

NOW GO on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVIII

Afterward when she looked back
upon it, Mary Rose was surprised at
her w 'calmness as she went down
the stairs with their faded carpet
and picked Flossie's little figure up
in her arms.
"She's been d%rinking!" was her
first thought, as the sickish smell
of gin came to her nostriis from
F1ossie's half-opened lips with thelr
smearing of lipstick.
But she looked up at her mother
who was standing at the head OF
the stairs, with a ~reassuring smile.
"She's all right, Mums-Just banged
her head when she fell, I guess,
she said, forcing her voice to a quiet
thai she was far from feeling.
Then, with an inner gasp of re-
lief, she saw that Flossie's blue eyes
were fluttering open. She raised one
of e little hands, pushed off her
hat, and began to rub the top of
her head. =
Hurts like the devil" she num-
bled, in a thick, drowsy voice.
FLUSH. Don't talk like that" Mary
Rose said sharply and raised her eyes
to- her mother, who still stood, in
puzzled silence in the upper hall.
"Open her bed, Nuns, and I'll bring
her up. She's dazed by the fall"
She put one arm around F1ossie's
shoulders and with the other on the
bannisters, managed to pull the dead
weight of her up the stairs. 1t
seemed as If they never would reach
the top.
In the little bedroom, Mrs. Mid
Gleton had opened F1ossie's bed, and
laid her-frivolous pink nightie over
the foot. She stood now beside the
dresser and there was a white,
drawn look on her face that Mary
Rose had seer there only once be-
fore In all her life. That had been
the night a few years before when
her father had died.
Mary Rose" she said, and her
voice was at taut as a violin string
that is ready to break, that child
has had liquor to drink. Somebody
has given my baby liquor. Oh, what
a SIM"
She stood for, a moment more
looking at Flossie's flushed face, her
swollen lips, her little figure in it's
black crepe dress sagging down on
the bed where Mary Rose had
dropped her. And FTossie looked
back at her with glazed, half-closed
eyes,.
Then she came across the room
and took the girl in her arms; and
the folds of her gray flannel kimono
fell all about her like the protect
ing wings of some great mother bird.
"Oh, my baby my baby, my baby!'
she kept OIL saying over an dover.
ITO think Of any one giving a child
like this, liquor! Look at the state
she's in. Oh, it's wicked, wicked,
wicked. Flossie, where have you
been? Try to remember, and tell
mother"
But most of it went into one OF
Flossie's little pink ears, and came
out at the other. She seemed only
to catch a word here and there. A
silly smile spread itself slowly over
her lovely face.
why yes" she began, and then
she laughed foolishly.
Yes, since you ask, we had a lii

of her fingers, and beat a slow meas
ure with it. "See lii bit of poetry

She drew herself out Of her moth
er's arms, and teetered over to the
dresser. Holding on to it with one
hand. she began to unhook her
