HARD PHILOSOPHY

Jacqueline wandering among dark and dreary streets, without tho slightest knowledge of where shc was or what she intended to do.
 She was so weakened by lack of food and her illness that she was dazed, and hardly knew what she was doing. In sheer weariness she leaned against railing and caught at it for support.
 A shadowy form came up, silent footed. Police again. A tall burly man with cape over his shoulders. But she was friends with the police now. The man laid hand gently on her shoulder.
 sWhat's the matter, missy? Feel ing queer?"
 He flashed the light of his lantern on her face.

 "I-can walk" murmured Jac- queline. "And-t hank you very much"
 She hardly remembered anything more until she found herself in a cozy little room, warming herself before a bright fire.
 A bright-faced young woman, who was a delight to look at, mothered her with welcome attentions, and P. c. Rogers beamed on them both
 When Jacqueline had drunk a cup of tea and eaten some toast her brain began to function again She tried to thank the kind, pleas ant-faced young woman, and then looking at P. c. Rogers, suddenly recognized him.
 "Why-why you are the kino policeman who helped me to gei into Byrams late one nightl i seems years and years ago.
