If for the next hour or two there was anything to be done at MacFar- lane's, Peter was ready to do it, but this accomplished, he would shoulder his bag and Camp out fur the night beside the boy's bed. He had come, indeed, to tell Felicia so, and he meant to sleep there whatever her protests. He was preparing himself for her objections, when she re-entered the room. "How is young Breen?" Mlss Fel- icia asked in a whisper, closing the door behind her. She had put Ruth to bed, where she had again given way to an uncontrollable fit of weep- ing. Pretty weak. The doctor is with him now." "What did the fool get up for?" She did not mean to surrender too quickly about Jack despite her hero- ism -not to Peter, at any rate. Then again, she half suspected that Ruth's tears were equally divided between the rescuer and the rescued. "He couldn't help it, 1 suppose," answered Peter, with a gleam in his eyes -"he was born that way." "Born! What stuff, Peter -no man of any common sense would have-" "I quite agree with you, my dear -no man except n gentleman. There is no telling what one of that kind might do under such circumstances." And with a wave of his hand and a twinkle in his merry scotch -terrier eyes, the old fellow disappeared be- low the hand -rail. Miss Felicia leaned over the ban- isters: "Peter, Peter," she called after him, "where are you going?" "To stay all night with Jack." "Well, that's the most sensible thing 1 have heard of yet. Will you take him a message from me?" Peter looked up: "Yes, Felicia, what is it?" "Give him my love." CHAPTER XVI Miss Felicia kept her promise to Ruth. Before that young woman, in- deed, tired out with anxiety, hail op- ened her beautiful eyes the next mdrning and pushed hack her beauti- ful hair from her beautiful face - and it was still beautiful, despite all the storms it had met and weathered, the energetic, old lady had present- ed herself at the front door of Mrs. Iiicks's Boarding Hotel (it was but a step from MacFarlane'.) and had sent her name to the young man in the third floor back. A stout person with a head of ad- justable hair held in place by a band of black velvet skewered by a gold pin, the whole surmounted by a flar- ing mob -cap of various hues and dyes, looked Miss Felicia all over and replied in a dubious tone: "He's had a bad mash -up, and I don't think—" "1 am quite aware of it, my dear madam, or I would not be here. Now, please show me the way to Mr. Breen's room -my brother was here 1•,:1 night and---" "Oh, the bald-headed gentleman?" exclaimed Mrs. Hicks. "Such a dear kind man; and it was as much as I could do to get him to bed and he a—" But Miss Felicia was already in- side the sitting -room, her critical eyes noting its bare, forbidding fur- nishing and appointment -she had not yet let down her skirts, the floor not being inviting. As each article passed in review -the unsteady rock- ing chairs upholstered in haircloth and protected by stringy tidies, the disconsolate, almost bottomless lounge, fly -specked brass clock and mantel ornaments, she could not but recall the palatial entrance, drawing room, and boudoir into which Par- kins had ushered her on that mem- orable afternoon when she had paid a visit to Mrs. Arthur Breen -(her "last visit" the old lady would say with a sly grimace at Holter, who had never forgotten "that pirate, Breen," for robbing Gilbert of his house.) "And this is what this idiot has j,ot in exchange." she said to herself as she peered into the dining room beyond, with its bespattered table- cloth flanked by cheap china plates and ivory napkin rings -the castors mounting guard at either end. The entrance of the lady with the transferable hair cut. short her revery. "Mr. Brenn says come tel, ma'am," she said is a subdued voice. it was astonishing how little time it, took for Miss Felicia's personality to have its effect. Up the uncarpeted stairs marched the great lady, down an equally bare hall lined on either side by bed -room doors, some marked by unblocked shoes others by tin trays holding fragments of late or early breakfasts the flaring cap nhsequiously pointing the way until the two had reached a door at the end of the corridor. "Now 1 won't. bother you any more," said Miss Felicia. "Thank you very much. Are you in here Mr. Breen?" she called in a cheery voice as she pushed open the door, and advanced to his bedside: -"Oh, you poor fellow! Oh, 1 am so sorry!" The boy lay on a cot -bed pushed close to the wall. His face was like chalk; his eyes deep set in his head; his ecalp one criss-cross of bandages and his right hand and wrist a miss- hapen lump of cotton wadding and ra "ttpKlex the, ye hind; the tone Qf cAlsatal way in whtgh g4e N devouring glance, Slie Iliac hint; never bad loved' him; W01040`. ever love him.

No one who met him and looked into his fresh, rosy face, or caught the merry twinkle of his eyes, would ever' have supposed he had been pouring lini- ment over broken arms and bandag ed fingers until two o'clock in the morning of the night before. It had only been when Bolton's sister had discovered an empty "Gell," as Jack called the bedroom next to his, that he had abandoned his intention of camping out on Jack's disheartened lounge, and had retired like a gentle- man carrying with him all his toilet articles, ready to be set out in the morning. Long before that time he had cap- tured everybody in the place: from Mrs. Hicks, who never dreamed that such a well of tenderness over suf- fering could exist in an old fellow's heart, down to the freckled -face boy who came for his muddy shoes and who, after a moment's talk with Peter as to how they should be pol- ished, retired later in the firm be- lief that they belonged to "a gent way up in G," as he expressed it, he never having waited on "the likes of him before." As to Bolton, he thought he was the "best ever," and as to his prim, patient sister who had closed her school o be near her brother -she declared to Mrs. Hicks she had laid her five minutes after a eyes on him, that Mr. Breen's uncle dear for anything," - to n hie '- was "just too yt g,' to which the lady with the movable hair anti mob -cap not only agreed, but added the remark of her own, "that folks like him with a sight better than the kind she was a-get- tnt ." All these happenings of the night and early hours of this bright, beau- tiful morning -and it was bright and sunny overhead despite the old fel- low's precautionary umbrella -had helped turn- out the spick and span gentleman who was now making his way carefully over the unpaved road which stood for Corklesville's prin- cipal street. Miss Felicia saw him first. "Oh! there you are!" she cried be- fore he could raise his eyes. "Did you ever see. anything so disgraceful as this crossing -not a plank -noth- ing. No -get out of my way, Peter; you will just upset me, and I would Lather help myself." In reply Peter, promptly ignoring. het protest, stepped in front of her, piled into several fraudulent solidi - ties covering unfathomable depths, found one hard enough to bear the weight of Miss Felicia's dainty shoe -it was about as long as a baby's hand -and holding out his own said, in his most courtly manner: "Be very careful now, my dear: put your foot on mine; so! now give me your hand and jump. There - that's it." To see Peter help a lady across a muddy street, Hoiker Mor- ris always said, was a lesson in all the finer virtues. Sir Walter was a bungler beside him. But then Miss Felicia could also have passed muster as the gay gallant's companion. And just here the Scribe remarks, parenthetically, that there is nothing that shows a woman's refinement more clearly than the way she cross- es a street.
