I've heard you talk many's the

as pleased as he, in her quieter
way.
He wiped his forehead, blew his
nose. His blue eyes were brim-
ming.
"'Twas God sint this child our
way" he said, clearing his throat.
II hope it was. indeed" said his
wife.

ter, that is"
He was talking along easily to
cover any possible awkwardness on
the visitors part and, unversed as
she was in social usages, Sheila felt
the kindliness Of it.
"Yes, sir, Gertie lost her mamma
and her papa when she was no big
ger than Veronica here" Judge Nc
Cam went on. "And now she's to
marry my second son, Peter. And
his mother and I are well pleased
with it."
"And Franks going to be married,

half-bold.
"Yes," the father said, Franks S

went on Hospitality, sitting down
himself, with the little girl on his
knee. "And it's a bitter night out,
isn't it? This is my baby Veronica;
she's no baby at all, she's grown a
monsther on me"
He drew Veronica forward-with
that obvious pride in a thin, gawky
crowlike little girl that only father
can display. Immediately he turned
his attention to the purse.

II didn't find it, exactly" Sheila
explained. She felt ashamed of her

muttered, "all of you, here in this
city, needin' help, and l not knowin'

I'll stand to you. I'll stand to all
of ye."
He was walking about again, agi-
tated, impatient. Sheila was all but
crying; there were tears in Mrs. Nc
Cams sympathetic eyes.
"Well, she'll want some supper"
he said. "Mamie said she'd look
out for her. Cons ger'rl, and the
spit of his sister Julia. She'd a fine,
coarse head of red hair on her. too.

"Pn do it tomorrow, Paul, Mrs.
Nc Cam rose, held out her hand.
Come with me, Sheila," she said.
"We'n get something to eat, and
then I'll take you upstairs, and see
if we can't find little hat and coat
of Gertrude's that'n fit you. You're
a real big girl, but she wears bigger
clothes than you'd think"
Talking comfortably, she went
with Sheila through a very confu-
sion of big, dark, richly furnished
rooms toward a dining-room and
into bright clean pantry beyond
it. And here, true to her promise,
Mamie had indeed arranged a meal
of coffee and salad, a little baked
custard, chocolate eclair.
Sheila, who had dined heartily on
fish-balls and prune shortcake only
an hour before, realized wretchedly
that she must appear to be raven
Gus. When providentially Mrs. Nc
Cam and Mamie left the pantry for
few minutes, she seized the oppor-
tunity to pour the custard and the
coffee down the sink drain, and bury
most Of the salad in the little white
enamel-ware garbage tin that was
already half filled with dead flowers
and lemon peels. She was eating
