Leslie decides to make another trip and invites Mrs. Min tum, wife of a prominent attorney, to accompany her. On their retarn Mr. Minturn breaks all relations with hla wife and Mrs. Minturn disappears. Douglas Bruce and Leslie W Inton are stunned by the happening and center their attention on Mickey whom they have de termined to adopt. (Continued fram Ynterda/.) “Shut up!’’ said Mickey In despera tion. "Now mind this, Miss! You belong to me! I’m taking care of you. You answer what he says to you pretty or you'll not get any sup per this night, and look at them bundles he got. Sit up and be nice! This is a party!” Mickey darted around arranging the room, then he flung the door wide and called: “Ready!” Douglas Bruce climbed the stairs and entered the door As Mickey ex pected, his gaze centered and stopped. Mickey began taking packages from his hands; still gazing Douglas yield ed them. Then he stepped forward when Mickey placed the chair, and said: "Mr. Douglas Bruce, this is Lily. This is Lily Peaches O'Halloran. Will you have a chair?” II# turned to Peaches, put his arm around her, drawing her to him as he bent to kiss her. "He’s all right, Flowersy-girl,” he said, "We like to have him come. He's our friend. Our big, nice friend who won't let a soul on earth get us. He doesn't even want us himself, 'cause he’s got one girl. His girl is the Moonshine Ijidy that sent you the doll. Maybe she will come some day too. and maybe she'll make the Pre cious Child a new dress. Where is she?" Peaches clunk to Mickey and past him peered at her visitor, and the visitor smiled his most winning smile. He recognized Leslie's ribbon, and noted the wondrous beauty of the small white face, now slowly flushing the faintest pink with excitement. Still clinging she smiled back. Word less, Douglas reached over to pick up the doll. Then the right thought came at last. "Has the Precious Child been good today?” he asked. Peaches released Mickey, dropping hack against her pillows, her smile now dazzling. "Jus’ as good!" she said. "Fine!" said Douglas, straighten ing the long dress. "An’ that's my slate and lesson.” said Peaches. "Fine!" he said again as if It were the only adjective he knew. Mickey glanced at him, grinning sympatheti cally, "She does sort of knock you out!" he said. " ‘Sort’ Is rather poor. Completely, would be better." said Douglas. She's the loveliest little sister in all the world, Miekey, hut she doesn't re semble you. Is she like your mother?” “Lily isn't my sister, only as you wanted me for a brother,” said Mic key. "She was left and nobody was taking care of her. She's my find and you bet your life I'm going to always keep her!" "Oh! And how long have you had her. Mickey?” "Now that's Just what the Orphlngs' 1 Home dame asked me.” said Mickey with finality, "and we are nix on those dames and their asking*. Lily Is mine, I tell you. My family. Now you visit with her, while I get sup per." Mickey pushed up the table, then began opening packages and setting forth their contents. Watchclng him as he moved swiftly and with as surance, his head high, his lips even, a slow deep respect for the big soul in the little body began to dawn in the heart of Douglas Bruce. Under standing of Mickey cam# in rivers swift and strong, so while he won dered and while he watcheed en tranced. over and over in his head went the line: "Fools rush In where angeia fear to tread.” With every gentle act of Mickey for ths child -GnajEms# Fifth Floor Jaunty HATS for little Miss Omaha Creations as clever as one might ask for, and A P®! priced so reasonable ff W that every mother will A find it advantageous to * _____ buy Saturday.

When he went over the supper and with the Judgment of a nurse selected the most delicate and suitable food for her, or each uplift of her adoring eyes to Mickey’s responsivs face. In the heart of the Scotsman swelled the marvel and the miracle that silenced criti cism. CHAPTER XI. The Advent of Nancy and Peter. When Leslie began the actual work of closing her home, and loading what would be wanted for the country, she found the task too big for the time allotted, so wisely telephoned Douglas that ahe would be compelled to post pone seeing him until the following day. ''Leslie,” laughed Douglas over the telephone, "did you ever hear of the man who cut off his dog's tall an inch at a time, so it wouldn't hurt so badly?" “I have heard of that particular dog.” “Well this process of cutting me out of seeing you a day at a time reminds me of 'that particular dog,' and evokes my sympathy for the canine as never before.” "It’s a surprise I am getting ready for you Douglas:" i, “It Is a surprise all right,” an swered Douglas, "and 'Bearer of Morning.' 1 have got a surprise for you too." "Oh goody!" cried Leslie. "1 adore surprise*." "You'll adore this one!” "You might give me a hint!" she suggested. "Very well!” he laughed. "Since last 1 saw you I have seen the love liest girl of my experience.” "Delightful: Am 1 to see her also?” "Undoubtedly!” explained Douglas. “And you'll suctumb to her charms Just a* I did.” "When may I meet her?” asked Leslie eagerly. | “I can’t say; but soon now.” "All right!” agreed the girl. "Be ready at 4 tomorrow." Leslie sat in frowning thought a moment, before the telephone; then her ever-ready laugh bubbled. “Why didn’t I think of It while I was talk ing?" she wondered. "Of course Mickey has taken him to visit his Lily. I must see about that wrong back before bone and muscle harden.” Then she began her task. By eve ning she had a gasoline Move set up, the kitchen provisioned, her father's room ready and arrangements suf ficiently completed that she sent the car to bring him to his dinner of cornbread and bacon under an apple tree scattering pink petals beside the kitchen door, with every lake breeze. Then they went fishing and landed three black teas. Douglas Bruce did not mind one day so much, hut he resented two. When he greeted Mickey that morn ing it was not with the usual saluta tion of his friends, so the boy knew there was something not exactly right. He was not feeling precisely jovial himself. He was under sus pended judgment. He knew that when Mr. Bruce had time to think, and talk over the situation with Miss Winton, both of them might very probably agree with the woman who said the law would take* Idly from him and send her to a charity home for children. Mickey, with his careful drilling on the subject, was in rebellion. How could the law take Idly from hint? Did the law know anything about her? Was she in the care of the law when he found her? Wouldn’t the law have allowed her to die grovelling In filth and rags, Inside a few more hours? He had not Infringed on the law In any way; he had merely Baved a life the law had forgotten to save. Now when he had it in his possession and In far better condition than he found It. how had the law power to step In and rob hint? Mickey did not understand, while there was nothing in his heart that could teach him. He had found her: he would keep her. The Orphans’ Home should not have her. The law should not have her. Only one possi bility had any weight with Mickey: if some one like Mr. Bruce or Miss Winton wanted to give her a home of luxury, could pro\lde care at once, for which he would be forced to wait years to earn the money; If they wanted her and the Carrel man of many miracles would come for them, did he dare leave her lying an hour, when there was even hope she might be on her feet? There was only one answer to that with Mickey, but it pained his heart. So his greeting lacked Its customary spontaneity. By noon Bruce was irritable, while Mickey was as nearly sullen as it was in hi* nature to be. At 2 o’clock Bruce surrendered, summoned the car, and started to the golf grounds. He had played tlffee holes when he overtook a. man who said a word that arrested bis attention, so both of them stopped, and with notebooks and pencils, under the shade of a hig tree began discussing the question that meant more to Douglas than anything save Leslie. He dismissed Mickey for the afternoon, promising him that If he would be ready by 6. he should be driven back to the city. Mickey wanted to be alone to con centrate on his problem, but people were everywhere and more coming by the carload. He could see no place that Was then, or would be. undis turbed. The long road with grassy Hides gave big promises of leading somewhere to the quiet sides gave big promises of leading somewhere to the quiet retreat he sought. Telling the driver that if he were not back by S. he would be waiting down the road, Mickey started on foot, in thought so deep he scarcely appre ciated the grasses he trod, the per fume in his nostrils, the concert in SATURDAY SALES and a Showing of New Apparel Coats of Fur Trim Think of these coats as being “different,” think of them as being superlatively beautiful—of the soft est, richest pile fabrics that the most exclusive mills turn out, including Moussyne, Lucette, Marvella and Gerona—topped off with choicest fur collars—some fur cuffed—Viatka, Fox and Wolf.

What did at last arouse him was the fact that he was very thirsty. That made him realize that this was the warmest day of the sea son. Instantly his mind flew to the mite of a girl, lying so patiently, watching the clock for his coming, living for the sound of his feet. Mickey stopped, studying the land "•ape. A cool gentle breeae crossed the clover field beside the way, re freshing him in its passing. He sucked his lungs full, then lifted his cap. shaking the hair from his fore heed. He stuffed the cap into his pocket, walking slowly along. Intend ing to stop at the nearest farmhouse to ask for water. But the first home was not to Mickey's liking. He went on, passing another and another. Then he ranie to land that attracted him. The fences were so straight. The corners so clean wtoere they were empty, so delightful where they were filled with alder, wild plum, hawthorn; attractive locations for birds of the bushes that were field and orchard feeders. Then the barn and outbuild ings looked so neat and prosperous: grazing cattle In rank meadows were so sleek; then a big white house be gan to peep from the screen of vines, bushes and trees. “Well If the water here gives you fever, it will anywhere," said Mickey, and turning In at the open gate start ed up a walk having flower beds on each side. There was a wide grass' lawn where the big trees scattered around afforded almost complete shade. Mickey never had seen a hon e like It closely. He scarcely could realize ^hat there were places in the world where families lived alone like this. He tried to think how he would feel if he belonged there. When he reached the place where he say Lily on a comfort under a big blootn-laden pear tree, his throat grew hard, his eyes dry and his feet heavy. Then the screen to the front door swung back as a smiling woman in a tidy gingham dress came through and stood awaiting Mickey. "I just told Peter when he came back alone, I bet a penny you'd got off at the wrong stop:’’ she cried. “I’m so glad you found your way by your self. But you must be tired and hot walking Come right in and have a glass of milk, then strip your feet and I'll ring for Junior.” (Continued In Morning Bee. tomorrow.)
