Dave Henderson. with a final wave of his hand to the old Italian, turned and walked slowly along the hall. He heard the porch door ahead of him being opened. He reached it, and halted, looking around him. It was dark. as it always was here, and he vould see nothing—not even a faint blurred outline of Ter- esa’s form. Surprised, he called her name softly. There was no answer— only the door stood wide open. He stepped out into the poreh. There was still no sign of her. It was very strange! He called her again—he only wanted to say good-bye, to thank her, to tell her, as he had told her father. that he would not forget. And. yes, to tell her, too, if he could find the words, that some day he hoped that he might see her again. But there was no answer. He was frowning now, piqued, and involved. 1 thought jt was just to| help him get away from the Police who were hounding him even afte: his sentence had been served, and also | to protect him from that gang who trled to get him in Vinetto's place—and that we were doing it for Tony's sake. And then it all seemed to come upon me in a . flash, as I went toward the door to let him out tonight—that there was the stolen money, and that I was help- ing him, and had been helping him in everything that was done here. to steal it again. I know what I should have done. It would have done no good, it would have been ut- terly useless; I realized that—but I would have been honest with my- self. 1 should have protested there and then. But I shrank from the position I was in. I shrank from having him asking me what T had to do with honesty, I, who—and you said it yourself a moment ago—I, who was Nicolo Capriano’s daughter; I, who, even if I protested on one score, had knowingly and voluntarily done my share in hoodwinking the police | on another. He would have had the right to think me mad, to think me irresponsible—and ~ worse. Il shrank from having him laugh in my| face. And so I let him go, because I must say that to him or nothing; for I could not be hypocrite enough to wish him a smiling good-bve. to wish him good fortune and success— I couldn't—I tell you. I couldn’t— and so—and so I stepped behind the panel, and let him pas: Nicolo Capriano's two hands were outthrust and clenched, his lips had widened until the red gums showed 15 JUST EMERGING TRAMP THROWS LEMOMN MERINGUE PIE i FACE OF .CHEF, MAKES HIS ESCAPE THROUGH COAL HOLE, [iTTLE STORIES BAND CONCERT.

Greed and Relfishness are twins Who lead the wi to- greater sini -—Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy had been so intent on watching Buster Bear after his discovery of his pail of berrles that he hadn't given the second pail a thought. That pail, brimming over with big, sweet blueberries, had been left some distance from the first pail. It was the pail he had filled just befor: the Bears had frightened him gut of the berry patch the afternoon before. Now-that Buster Bear had emptied the first pafl, Farmer Brown's Boy in his trectop perch bethought him of the xecond pail, and turned to look at the place where he had left it. He was just in time to see Woof-Woof, the cub in brown, discover it. Sure that this time the berry patch was cntifely safe, Mother Bear had - him, lows. In an instant Teresa was bending over him anxiously. He pushed her away, and struggled upward again, and for a moment he shook his fists again at his daugh- ter—and then his eyes were half veiled, and his hands opened, and he began to pat the girl's arm. and his volce held a soft, purring note. “Listen! You are not a fool, my little one. I have not brought you up to be a fool—eh? Well, then. listen! We have a little money, but it is not much. And he will get that hundred thousand dollars. Do you understand? He is clever. and he has the courage. Do you think that I would have tricked the police for him, otherwise? Eh—do you think old Nicolo Capriano does mot know what he is about" She stared at him, a sort of dawn- ing dismay in her eyes. “You mean.” she said. and the words seemed to come in a hard. forced way from her lips, “you mean that if he gets that money agaln, you are to have a share?” ‘A share! Ha, ha!” The old Itallan was rocking backward and forward in ‘No. my little one, not a share | Nicolo .Capriano does not deal in shares any more. All—my little one| —all!
