But. by God, I don't need you, or
any one else, to act as go-between
or plead my cause. And mark me,
sir Ill find her yet. I swear to
you I'll never rest until I find her
again. And now, sir, once and for
all, I have the honor to wish you a

ViScount bowed, and, having re-
settled his arm in its sling, walked
away down the corridor, very up
right as to back, yet little uncer-
tain in his stride nevertheless, and
so was gone.
Then Barnabas, becoming aware
of the polite letters, and cards, en-
bOssed, gilt-edged and otherwise,
swept them incontinent to the floor
and, sinking into a chair. set his
elbows upon the table, and leaning
his head upon his hands fell into a

Suddenly Charity threw her arms
around the old Irishman and gave him
2 tight squeeze, saying, "Oh. Pat
don't you know me?"
He stepped back and looked at her
closely, shaking his head. That do
not. but your voice sounds a little
familiar. "Glory-be! Tits Miss
Jones"
Charity had never seen Pat so nus
tered. She laughed and tried to put
MIN at ease. Its the hair cut, Pat.
l hardly know myself. How have you
been?"
"Foine, Miss Jones-or, I mean Mrs.
Temple. Sure and I'm glad to set eyes
on you"
He stepped back to survey her the
better, shaking his head. Don't YOU
look grand, now! Sure I never would
have known you in million years all
fixed up like posy."
Charity grinned when he bent over
to whisper loudly. Come in and burn
the tabby cats up-Miss Jones. Just
let 'em get look at the new riggin'."
That was an ordeal Charity dreaded.
But she knew she could not appear at
the bank without going around and
speaking to the people she had worked
with SO long. Pat led the way, not
wanting to miss word OF what was
said to the new Mrs. Temple.
Charity had worn ashes Of roses. her
most becoming color. It gave her cheeks

carelessly over her little rose hat. There
were long black gloves against the milk
white Of her arms. The Wall Street
Trust Co. had never seen a more smart
ly dressed lady within its rich walls.
No one recognized Charity until she
spoke to them. Their obvious en-
barrassment and amazement gave Char
ity the advantage, so that she went
| through the greetings with a great deal
more ease than she had hoped. Once
she had been plain Miss Jones-the
drab little girl who looked after old
Temples affairs. Now, like Cinderella,
she had been transformed into beau-
tiful lady with gay smile and clothes
ut for princess.
It was Pat who walked with Charity
to the private elevator that led to Sim
mons ONCE and rang the bell for her.
He could scarcely wait for the door to
close SO that he might hear what the
girls had to say.
Miss Randall, who had taken Char
ity's place in the office. was surround
ed by a group Of babbling girls. Pat
joined them in time to hear her say
dramatically, 1T can't be Charity

A little blonde shrugged her shoulders
'Well, who couldn't look swell with all
that money! It's no credit to her"
Every one agreed except Pat. He
could not let the former Miss Jones
go undefended. He joined the group,
to say hotly. Sure. and ye're jealous

INSTALLMENT XIX.

TT was after 8 o'clock when Charity,
breathless from hurrying back to
keep her date with Doug, let her
i self into the penthouse:
"Sylvia," she called to the maid
as she ran through the living room,
tell Mr.. Temple III be ready in q
few minutes"
"Mr. Temple has gone out" Sylvia
followed her into the bedroom wonder
ing why Charity stopped and looked so
distressed. He waited until after 8
o'clock Then a young lady called, and
I believe he said he was going to Long
Island, madame"
"Oh!" Charity sat down on her bed,
feeling suddenly sick with disappoint-
ment and worry. She wanted to ask
the maid if her husband had seemed
angry. But OF course that wouldn't DO.
Naturally he would be angry. How
could he understand her standing him
up the first time he asked to take her
out? Yanner had called again, and
he'd gone out to make up with her
after their quarrel!
Charity had not realized how ex-
hausted she was after her ordeal at the
Browns. She dismissed Sylvia and
slipped into a neglige and her old
comfortable bedroom slippers. They
were blessed relief after her new h1gh
heels. Then she threw herself across
the bed to think.
First her thoughts were Of Doug.
How could she possibly explain to him9
She didn't want him to know what she
had been doing. He might not Like IT.
Or he might laugh at her-Wh1ch
would be worse.
Then Charity's thoughts turned to
the events of the afternoon. or her
newly acquired charges-And the
misery and poverty Of the people from
whom a great deal Of the Temple
money had been made. Having been
the senior Temples private secretary,
she knew, of course. that a great deal
of his money was invested in real
estate. But she didn't realize he owned
such large part of New Yorks slums.
The building In which the Browns
lived was ready to fall down. 1t was
unbelievably insanitary and lacking In
conveniences Little children should not
live in such places. She decided she
would 20 to see Simmons, the Temple
lawyer, and have . talk with him the
next day. Then, exhausted, she fell
asleep.
Charity awakened TO ind she had

slept all night lying across her bed
It was too early to see Malcolm Sim
mons. He seldom appeared at his Of
nee before noon, having great many
outside things to do In connection with
the Temple interests
So Charity decided to visit the East
Side tenements ON . tour Of inspection.
To see for herself whether the building
the Browns lived In was an exception,
or If there were others like 1t owned
by the Temples.
, It was q morning Charity was not
to forget till the longest day she lived.
She spent three hours walking in and
out Of buildings-one more ghastly
than the other. A nightmare OF
hungry little children, disheartened
mothers, broken fathers. Stories OF sui
eide; people too Ill to move being taken
from their beds and put into the street
starving, deserted babies.
BY the time Charity arrived at the
Browns to see the mother and the new
baby so great was her compassion that
she wanted to take the whole miserable
little world under her wing and mother
it. Before she left to 60 to Simmons
Charity had changed the black uni
verse of the Brown family into place
of sunshine.
Mrs. Brown and the new baby were
safe in the care of a nurse. The five
older children were installed in a day
nursery and the heel-chair-ridden
father was on his way to the hospital,
where he could receive treatment Tor
his back.
Charity's first impulse was to scatter
money from one end of the block to
the other. But she was q business
woman and knew a practical way would
have to be worked out to help those
deserving of aid and sympathy. Sew
eral families received baskets Of gro
ceries after the tall grave-eyed girl in
the lovely gray-green gown and hat
had visited them. They didn't know
her name But, like Mrs. Brown, they
said an angel must have been sent to
them from heaven.
1t was after lunch before Charity
could bring herself to leave her fami-
lies. She had been in and out of so
many filthy Railways and ill-kept flats
that she'd have to go home and bathe
and dress before she went to see Mr..
Simmons
At home she learned Doug had not
into her tub and hurried into her
clothes. She didn't feel like eating.
but made herself take little tea and
toast. She asked Sylvia to call and
make sure Mr.. Simmons would be in,
and was relieved to hear that the
lawyer would be delighted to see her
about 4 o'clock
Charity smiled to herself when she
found she had automatically gone to
the side door Of the Wall Street Trust
Co. Building, marked Employees Only"
She had gone in that way so many
hundreds Of times that 1t seemed the
natural thing to do: OF course she did
not have her old key. When she
knocked it was old Pat, the janitor, who
opened the door and barred the way
with his corpulent figure.

waiting to learn Charity's business. We
