A MODERN SLAVE TRADE ,
ft. Ixnils Olobc-lVmocrat.
Tlio Clilnoso quarter in San Francisco Is ,
nt midnight , a sinister locality. The tntifjlcd
network of narrow streets and narrow alleys ,
IIMIghtiKl nnd foul of atmosphere , tlio reek-
InR cellars , wherein the hollow-cheeked vo
taries of oilnm | seek oblivion , from whoso
polluted depth * there occasionally lloats tha
raucous chatter of thn female slaves , all com
bined to produce an Intricate Jungle of crime
nncl squalor nbovo whlcli there ecms to
hover that constant menace , the skulking ,
yet murderous highbinder. Hut an Inad
vertent Indulgence In the vinous aftermath
of n banquet will sometimes lead , and had
led Mr. Ulchard Meredith Into strange Ji.iths.
Dick was Intoxicated , unmistakably so.
His step , while not particularly unsteady.
Was of that airy , Roaring character familiar
lo all ; his tall form , fashionably clad , had
been denuded of Its overcoat , which trailed
over his shoulder suspended from the neb of
his cane ; his oneo glossy hat was tipped
carelessly back from bis face , flushfd , yet
not tinhandsomn , and when not Industriously
striiRKlIni : with a c ar , IOIIK since extin
guished , there came from his lips the words
of some popular song. Slight , however ,
was the possibility that he would encounter
cither censure , pity or ridicule , for the only
living creature who seemed to dispute his
somewhat liberal possession of the sidewalk
was n cat fawning ngalnst the Iron standard
of n street lamp.
It was only a kitten , and Dick's require
ment at that moment was a cab , neverthe
less ho supped beneath the light and raised
It In Ills arms.
" 'S hungry , " ho said alter a pause , and
with a drunken gravity. " 'S hungry an'
's too bad. I've had 's much m'self I
can't smoke , an' cat's hungry. I'oor cat ! "
Then laboriously donning his overcoat , lie
dropped the llttlo creature Into a pocket.
As he tnove < l away there was n shullllng
footstep behind , and a hand was laid on hU
shoulder.
"You takes my cat sabe ? You gib ' 1m
back. "
The voice and figure was unmistakably
that of n Chinaman , and lrk ! looked down
nt htm with an air of maudlin amusement.
"Nope , " ho returned with n charming
effrontery. "Seen no cats f'r two days
want cabs , not cats. "
The Chinaman scowled. "You no sabe , "
he said , stolidly. "You tiikco my cat allee
same kittle ; you gib 'Im back. "
" 'S a dream you're drenmln' , " Dick re
turned again with the smiling assurance of
Inebriation. Then ho stopped.
Another figure , that of a woman , had
glided from an adjoining doorway nnd was
standing behind the man. She was clad In
the showy garments of a young Chinese
girl , but to Dick , even In his muddled state ,
her features appeared vastly unlike those
of her race.
"Won't you give mo the klttnn ? " slin
asked In n soft and not unmusical "voice.
"It Is my only pet. "
"Jlos1 certainly , " was the prompt reply.
"Dut cat's hungry an' mils' be fed. "
Ills words , however , were lost In a harsh
and seemingly an angry tirade with which
the man greeted this new arrival , whose
presence ho now appeared to notice for the
flrst time. From his gesticulations It was
evident that he desired her to return to the
building from which she had emerged , but
this she appeared loth to do.
"Won't you please give me the kitten ? "
she asked Dick again In a pleasing lone.
At this the. man grasped her uhouhtcr and
raised his hand as If to strike her. lint the
blow was not given. Ills words were un
intelligible , but their Import was rellectcd
on the girl's face , and with a spontaneity
rather startling for out1 In his condition
Dick's clenched (1st ( shot out from the shoul
der and , catching the man fairly on tlio
chin , stretched him senseless on the clamp
pavement.
The young girl uttered n slight scream ;
then she clutched Dick's arm.
"Take rue ; take me with you ! " she ejacu
lated eagerly. "It's my last chance. "
Dick made no reply , but clasping his ami
about her waist he drew her rapidly along
the street , and , turning the first corner , hur
ried toward a more brilliantly lighted sec
tion of the city. The energy with which
he had Invested his blow seemed , In a
way ; to have 'ovcrcbmo tlio fumes of the
liquor , and , hailing a passing cab , he placed
the girl Inside.
Seated opposite , however , and rattling over
the rough cobbles , lie regarded her with an
expression of mingled perplevlty and an
noyance. The readiness with which she had
cast her lot with a stranger In no way astin-
Ished him , but he was not of that Individual
ity from which are developed our mlsslon-
aries , and there was gradually being forced
upon him the conviction that Ills position
was far from pleasant. At best lie had
usurped the power of those religious societies
who seek to rescue the Chinese slave women
from their masters , ami , In doing so , had lie
not also been guilty of abduction ? lie
shuddered as tlio thought occurred to him.
By occupation a speculator In real estate , ho
had found the law n _ very useful ally.but an
exceedingly troublesome foe. And yet , as
his glance again wandered over her features ,
ho did not altogether regret his notion. She
appeared to have nothing In common with
those creatures , who , among the Chinese in
America , arc morally , nnd perhaps mentally ,
interior 10 me ordinary domestic animals.
Suddenly n change came over his face and
ho shifted uneasily on the seat. Then ho
drew the skirts of his coat from beneath
him nnd plunging his hands into Its pocket
brought forth the wriggling cause of his pre
dicament. As he held the kitten aloft a
smile crept slowly over his face and the girl
laughed outright. It was like some bond of
sympathy between them , nnd bending for
ward he placed It In her arms.
"I needn't ask you It there Is any place to
which I can take you , " ho said , pleasantly ,
"but are you C'llnese or what ? "
"I am Chinese , " was the reply. low and
half reluctant. "I was born In China and
my father was a Chinaman but my mother
was a native of this country. "
Dick nodded ; then ho leaned from the cab
window and addressed a few words to the
driver.
As ho sat down she grasped his hand.
"Don't take mo back ! " she pleaded , with a
scared look. "Oh , don't take me back !
This la my last chance tomorrow I shall ba
sold. "
Dick smiled reassuringly. "I have no In
tention of taking you back , " ho returned.
"I was merely directing the cabman where
to drive. "
A slch of relief followed his words : then
both relapsed Into silence. Some ten min
utes later the carriage drew up before a
iarge Juitcl and Dick at once assisted his
strange companion to alight , but they did
not enter. Deyond the first portal he
Baited until the cab had roiled away , then
led the girl around a corner tn n lodging
house situated on a small street In the rear.
The house they entered was not attractive ,
however ; It broke the chain of their ( light.
The attendant stared somewhat pointedly at
the Incongruous disparity of their attire.
IJut , In one of the two rooms which he se
cured , Dick banished oil outward manlfestn-
tjlon of curiosity by producing a yellow coin.
"Ilctweon now nnd mornlni ; I want some
Clothes for this lady , " ho paid , toying sig
nificantly with the coin. " .Something black ,
and with one of those sorrowful vulls. I
also want to shut your mouth , and I'll pay
for both. She lost her wraps nt n masquer
ade , but wo don't propose to publish that
fact understand ? "
Presumably the man did "understand , "
for he nodded , accepted the coin nnd van-
Ishod. 'Whereat Dick Ignited a cigarette ,
and for a brlof Interval ho appeared to study
Its curling rings -of smoke. At last ho
looked up.
"I can't , think , " ho said with n slight
laugh. "As you saw I was rather gleeful
when wo mot , ami I'm not much bettor now.
Hut who was the man I struck ? "
"Ho was my father's brother , " was the
reply , "but don't take mo back to him. "
Dick blow a cloud of smoke nnd through
It ho HUilled somewhat quizzically.
"Did yon suppose 1 was sending for
clothc.s to donate to your uncle ? " ho nuked
lightly. "Hut whore Is your father , your
mother and all the rest ? "
"They ore both dead , " the young girl re
turned sadly. " My mother died In China
two months ago , mid I was sent hero by
my uncle. IJut ho was going to sell mo
tomorrow. "
"I haven't a doubt of It , " Dick observed
coolly. "IJo'd probably sell his mother If
ho hud one. "
Nevertheless hla face brightened. From
her words It was evident that this had been
a sort of chlvnlrlc act rather than that of a
missionary ; that ho had. In fact , rvKcuod her
before the services of n missionary were re
quired. It must bo confessed , howeicr. that
us yet he waa by no means very sanguine
concerning the result. Knotting tlu vuluu
which < i girl of her appearance would repre
sent among the Chinese slave owners , to
gether with the potent legal Influence which
tlieso Chlne.ie pnso.i3. ho nntlclpatd trouble
of no ordinary character.
"Do you know If your uncle belonged to
nny of the tongs the highbinders ? " ho
asked , after n pause.
"He pays them , " was the reply , "but I
don't know which one. "
"There's little difference , " Dick returned ,
gravely ; "ono advocates the pistol , another
the hntchct. However , won't you tell mo
your name ? "
"Yuen Kl 7"
Dick winced. "Xot that one , " ho Inter-
poseO ; your mother's. "
"My mother's name was Lillian D.tnton.
but can I tue that here ? They told ma I
could not ; Hint I was legally u Chinese
woman , nnd that my uncle was my guar
dian. "
A tap on the door precluded nny reply , nnd
the attendant , who had received them , en
tered with a large parcel. When he had been
properly dismissed Dick carelessly tossed the
bundle cm the table.
"I'm not much of n lawyer , Miss D.inton , "
ho said cheerfully , "but from n common-
sen e point of view you will not be a Chlneso
woman In the morning nnd , let us hope ,
never imnln. But now I'll lenvo you. Mlmi
Is the next room , so If you want anything
knock , but don't lese nny sleep worrying ,
for their only chance to get ynu b.ick Is
through the law , nnd my attorney seems
pretty well acquainted with the glorious
cllmato of our courts. "
When , however , Dick awoke on the follow
ing morning , his feelings , together with hl
remarks addressed to himself wore of n
much less buoyant character. N'ot particu
larly strange , pcrhapa. *
On Knocking ho received permission to
enter I ho room beyond. The young girl was
chid In the garments previously procured
ami had he met her elsewhere ho would
have passed her without recognition. Tlio
gown , of softest material , and of a dull somber -
bor bluck , was admirably fitted to her nlen-
der figure ; her dark hair waa neatly nnd be
comingly arranged above her brow nnd her
face , bereft of Its onnmel-llke scale of pink
nnd white , was possessed of more than ordi
nary beauty a beauty In which the lire of
n southern clime had laid Its magic wand
upon the cold , regular features of the north.
She was standing at the window when lie
appeared , and , with her upraised arm part
ing the heavy curtains , her attitude was in
finitely graceful.
"Do I look well1 she asked , with a smllo
of welcome. "I have tried to make myself
look like the ladles In thestreet. . "
Dick was slow to reply. She was like
some charming picture , but before his mind
there was passing another scene. Therein
her face seemed crusted nnd lifeless , and
her dark hair glossy and solidly matted
with grease , while the delicately rounded
curves of her youthful figurewera lost be
neath a loose blous.0 and wide , flapping
pantaloons , which left exposed only her
shapely yet hideously clad ankles.
"Miss Danton , " ho said .at last. Im
petuously , extending his hand , "I said yc-u
would no longer be a Chinese woman , and
you ne-.er will , while I've got money
enough to keep mo on speaking terms with
a judge. "
The girl paled. With his words the first
exhibition of freedom was swept away , and
a tear glistened beneath her long lashes.
"Do yon think you will have much
trouble ? " she asked tremulously. " .My
mother always taught me that they did
right that there was justice here. "
"Lots of it , " was the prompt rejoinder.
"In almost every trade 1 consummate I have
to buy a little. There's lots of trouble ,
too. However , we'll have breakfast first ,
and the trouble will not bo long in finding
mo out. "
Nor was he wrong. After partaking of a
meal which was brought to thi'lr rooms he
left the young girl , and passing through an
alley in the rear entered the hotel lu-foro
which they had alighted on the previous
night , nnd wherein he had apartments. A
cab was standing before the door when ,
later on , ho emerged , and a man seated
beside the driver leaped to the sidewalk and
tendered him a folded document. Dick took
It , smiled and walked away.
It was a writ of habeas corpus , command
ing him to produce his lately acquired pro
tegee In court nt'2 o'clock of that dny ; nnd ,
some ten minutes later , ho spread It out on
the desk of one Mr. Samuel Wilton , a friend ,
also an aUornoy-at-law.
Mr. Wilson glanced over It casually , then
at his client.
"Well ? " he said , laconically.
"I don't propose to produce , " Dick re
plied ; ns If completing the sentence. "Hut
what will be the bail ? "
"It's not bail ; it's contempt of court , nnd
that's jail , " was thu terse reply.
Dick lighted a cigarette , drew a line
across the paper with the burned match and
smiled.
"You're foggy , this morning. Sam , " ho re
turned , lightly. "When we were booming
the Dosworth land they asked us to file cer
tain deeds In court , but we didn't. I was
arrested for era.nd larceny , gavo'ball , and
when the deeds at last turned up was , of
course , shown to bo an injured Innocent. "
"And you want to bo arrested again ? "
"I don't see any other way out of it. Hut
listen. "
Mr. Wilson clld listen , and with an ex
pression of surprise , not unmingled with
amusement , until Dick finished his narra
tive. Then he leaned back In his chair
with a laugh.
"And what in the devil will yon do with
a Chlnawolnari when she's yours ? " ho
queried.
Dick Unshod angrily.
"She Is Chinese only by birth , and I don't
Intend she , shall bo mine , " he returned ,
spiritedly. "Hut that's not the question ,
Sam ; It's how I'm going to keep her from
belonging to some ono else. Why , confound
It ! if I had floated a few I 0 U's nt poker
last night I should have redeemed them
this morning without a murmur ? do yon
think I'll repudiate my agreement with this
girl ? "
"But the law "
"Blow the law ! " was the Impetuous In
terruption. "All the law I want Is to get
arrested and get out on bull , BO that I nan
hide the girl away In the country proba
bly In that crib I bought last week. Then
I will enlist the sympathy of the newspapers ,
and once that Is assured 1 can laugh at all
the law and Chinese in the .state. "
The lawyer smiled. "I was merely going
to ask , " ho returned , "If | t would not bo
pleasanler to comply with this writ and lot
the court place her In proper custody , pend
ing some settlement ? "
"It might Imbecility Is generally pleas
ant , " Dick observed dryly. "Why , Sam ,
wltli the girl once In court , the Mongolians
would swear me off my feet and waft me
over the Sierras. "
Mr. WIlton'.H smllo broadened , nnd , bondIng -
Ing over his desk he appeared to bo making
a rapid arithmetical calculation.
"Well , " ho said finally , ' 'it's abduction ,
nnrl that means heavy ball. However , I'll
be on hand , Dick ; KO get out. ( .tut don't go
near the girl , for you'll In- followed , sure. "
Dick laughed ; of this ho was well aware.
But up'on descending to the street ho c.islly
avoided all pursuit by entering the Stock
exchange , through whose doors only a mem.
bcr might pass , and from which thnrc were
mimorntm prlvato exits.
In the court room , some three bom's later ,
ho found a scare of Chinese assembled , and
at their blank looks , when he appeared
alone , ho could not repress a tmlle. ; The
proceedings , however , worn of the briefest ,
"May It please your honor , " he said ,
blandly , when called lo the slam ) , "It Is not
permitted that I shouM comply with this
writ , and , with all duo rc&pect to yourself ,
I must decline to answer all questions. On
the ground , " ho added , with an air of gcmtlo
deprecation , "that 1 might Incriminate my
self. "
An angry buzz from the body of the- court ,
room , not unlike the snarl of some beast ,
followed that decision : then liu was
promptly arrested and almost an promptly
released.
On thu street ho paused for a moment ,
accosted by one of the ladies from thu
Chinese mission , who 'requested that the
young lady should bo placed In their charge.
"Madam , " he returned gravely , albeit
with a smile , "your motives uro excellent ,
but you lack the peculiar ability to Hiicccfcx-
fully cope with the Chinese. They h.ivo
money and can lie ; yon have none and tell
the truth. In my place you would have
been compelled to produce the girl in court ,
tind when next you saw her oho would cer
tainly have required your mlnlstniHonu.
As It Is , I ran assure you that nlio do not ,
In fact there is no legal reason why she
should be lukun from her countrymen , and
1 don't propose there shall bo. But , " ho
uddod , aa ho noticed a Chinaman lounging
near , "tho girl IN no longer in the city. uc > !
ull questions aru solvud except my o'vn trial
for abduction. "
The v.-cman fchook her head dubiously , but
the Uiilc KU.I uiiaiiHuurublu and. sin ; mt < le
no reply.
As biuk moved away one of the
IMt Its ptnen In the line. Sonu > .
along It DRaln drew near the curb , ns If
awaiting his approach The door swung
ullently open ns ho passed nnd a loosely cl.iil
flgurn glided from within. Then them wna
n rush ; frcm beneath that flapping blousci
n short hatchet rose then foil. And with
the rattling of wheels the highbinder * had
once more appeased their Clod of Justice.
\ \ hen Dick
regained consciousness he was
amid strange urroiindlng . nnd for brief In
tervals his eyes wandered aimlessly over
quaintly papered walls , n well worn c.irpot ,
nn ancient piano nnd more ancient furniture ,
then to the face of his friend nnd attorney ,
who was seated beside thu bed.
"What whnt tlmo Is II , Sam ? " ho asked
feebly. " 1 fi-t-l '
us If I'd been dead ten
yearn. "
"It's nlRht , Dick. " wnx the reply , accom
panied by n long breath of relief. Hut
don't talk ; yoti'vn got n highbinder's souv < -
nlr on your skull thai would Imvo killed nny
nno but n blockhead. "
"I thought 1 had run against n boom "
Dlek returned with n faint smile. "Urn I
must talk , Aim " ho
, added gravely : " (111 v
first tell me what has happened an-l
whether It's today , tonight or torn irrow
wight. "
Mr. Wilton appeared rather amused nt thin
rather Celtic Inquiry. Ills smile , ton. was
Indicative , In some slight degree , of hla feel
Ings , for a physician had stated that with
reason restored no further danger need bo
anticipated.
"It's tonight. Sam , " he returned , "and
nothing much has happened , The China
man nonsuited you with n hatchet , but the
blow glanced , Inflicting n slight fracture < f
the right parietal , shattered the clavldo
and "
"Bother the clavicles ! " Dick Interpose !
with something of his old strength. "Am I
going to llvo or die ? "
"Die , I think. The doctor said you'd llvo
If you didn't talk , but I told him there was
no hope of that , " was the Imperturbable re
sponse. "But , seriously , old boy , you should
not talk. You are twenty miles from China
town , In the crib you bought last week , nnd
Miss Danton Is In the next room asleep 1
hope. So now drop olt yourself. "
With this Information a marked and
peaceful change came over Dick's faceho
endeavored to stretch out his hand , but it
fell helplessly on the coverlet , then his
eyelids drooped.
"Sam , " lie murmured drearily , "wc'n
pretty tough , but wo pay our debts of
honor.
The "crib , " ns Jt had been termed , w s
worthy of a better name ; an ancient adniw
dwelling which boiuc Spaniards of an earl'er
clay had left on the shores of a littleIny
south of llio city , It was both plcturesqi.o
and homelike. On one sldn a broad

llcjlils all about sinpcd Roiitly to ( lie \\ntor ,
and wlic-ii Dick awokp on the follomii

liencli with a intirintir that was Inllnitoly
traiuiitillizini ; to his inliiil.
AH he snuKlit to turn a dull pain souiuol to
rack his whole franiL1 ; and yet ho smiled
The young girl whom , tluia far , ho had
shluitltMl from Inirin , waa ix'atocl npsldu tliu
lii-cl , and her hanil
, rcstltiK llgiitly on the
pillow , Iiad Imt at that moment been witli-
clrav.il from his brow.
"Don't Mop because ) my eyes arc open , "
ho said plaintively. "I have bc-c-n nwako
for a long tinu , but your hands full ao IIT/U
and cool that I kept cjulet. "
The youiiK Klrl colored and once morn
smoothed back his. tangled hair.
"I can't lull you how sorry I am , " she
said gorily , "but can't I do something to
show "
"I wouldn't talk like that , " he interposed ,
wearily. "I Is now how you feel , but when
we're llle that we only Rpt mixed tip If w < i

" .Mr. Wilton brought us In n cab. Ho
found you in a hospital , and when H was
dark ho brought us both here. This morn
ing he went luck to the city , but lie nske-l
ino to tall you that there wail no further
danger at present. "
Dielc made no reply. Hla eyes were fifed
drcfwsily on "the young girl's f.u-o , and pres
ently they rlo'cil.
It was afternoon when lie again awoke ,
and an appetizing lunch was awaiting besldo
tlio bed. After partaking of its dellrue us
Ills face brightened , but lie made no effort
lo rise. Nor won ho able In reaeli Muit
broad veranda until a wool ; had rolled by ,
albeit the conllncmrntvns not particularly
Irksome. The young girl was almost con
stantly at his side , and , asldo from an nse.l
Spanish woman In tlio kitchen , half blind
and wholly deaf , they were nlone.
Seated ono evening beneath the clinging
vines of tlio veranda DicU heard the suj'i
tones of the piano. For. an Instant it ular-
tlecl him , then lie stepped lightly to the win
dow. The young girl was seated before an
ancient Instrument , anil from beneath tier
fingers welled the strains of some oratorio.
AH the last noto-died away her eyes were
lifted and a tear coursed silently 'down ' liar
cheek , *
Dick stepped Inblilo.
"I' did not know that you could play ,
Lillian , " ho Bald notlly.
"My mother taught mo , " was the tremu
lous reply. Then she stopped and her head
bent slowly forward : the Hood of awakening
recollection found vent in tears.
When at last her fobbing became less violent
lent she yielded up the story of her pnBt. A
sad talc , but by no mean's strange. Her
mother hail been tlio daughter of n mission
ary nnd Dick felt ills own eyes grow moist ns
ho listened to the simple narration of their
home life In tlio far-off land. With her
mother's death she had been left without
means or friends and n Chinese woman.
" 1 wouldn't cry any more , Lillian , " he Kald
In a kindly tone. "While you wore playing
just now 1 hit on nn excellent scheme , one
that will bring us both out of all trouble and
danger. "
" 1 wlsll you could end It , " was the earnest
response. "Wo can't llvo this way always * ,
you are very kind , but I can't accept your
charity forever. 1 can work , und surely there
must bo some law to "
"Tho law , Lillian , " Dick gravely Inter
posed. "You are not of ago , therefore your
undo lias the nearest legal claim on you.
Hut I can fix It , and baforo tomorrow night.
So now dry these tears and forgot all about
It. "
The girl made no reply , but there was ; i
certain buoyancy In his words which ap
peared lo Inspire her with n hopeful euinl-
clencu , and the subject was dropped.
When she had retired fur the night Dlek
indited a long letter to ills irleml In the city ,
and , notwithstanding thn I.ULMICH.I of tlio
hour , carried It to the nnirc.it village , somu
two miles distant. A reply was rceolved on
thn following evening.
Dinner was being served when It arrlvi. " ! ,
nnd after rending It Diclc'lald il citn-li i ly
bc.sldo his plate. Later , when they ruse Horn
the table , ho diew the young girl into ihI I t-
llo room beyond.
"It's all over , Lllllmi , " ho said , ex.Utiugly ,
tendc'rlng her themessage. . "You're us ireo
as air as free as the American uaule. "
The girl drew a long hnmth , and her bund
trembled violently as she unfolded the paprr.
Then , us Nho glanced at Its coninnia , o
ptu/.lcd expression swept across her fnc <
It was brief only a slngln line : "Sl > u a
yours ; two thousand charged to your nr-
coiint. "
"What-- what docs U mean ? " lihu asked ,
with a falturlng perplexity.
"That ynu are free , " Dick coolly returned.
"That I have er havu sullied with your
uneie. "
Tlio ycjiing girl drew back , and every tr.u'i }
of color vanished from her face.
"That yon havu bought me ? " she njiuu-
Inli-d with an Incredulous horror. "That I
am yours. "
Dick colored ; manifestly ho WUH ( llsc-n-i-
ccrtud.
"Hut , l.llllan , " ho Ktmmnered ccmftibcdiy ,
"I don't want you--that Is , I don't ii.-
toml "
Hut thb girl had turned uwuy , and < ta
walking Kluwly toward the window.
Kor u brief Interval Dick stared after lirr
with an air of IndcclMnn , then ho followc-d.
"Lillian , " liu suld gently , " 1 ially ; don't
mean to buy you ; only lo "
"Ilut you have , " she Interposed In a dull
fcort ot smothered tuna. "Your kindness i
mlKlit huve tepulil , hut thlh money 1 rn > v 'r

Dick lent over her ahouldcr. Her fue
was still palo anil thuro wvro learn In bcr
dark eyes. It Is to bo fi-nrud , though , i ! .it
ho fiiiw moro there , fur hla arm at onou
encircled her Mini \valia.
"You might Lillian , " ho said tciuli-rlv.
"Ilut for fear you'll fall , don't you thlnit
