"Yon nre the best friend I ever hnd," sobbed the girl, nnd the lovely tlntei fiice looked striinirely out of pliui framed In an lr:egulnrly bobbed of iend of hnlr with o certain boyltd tinge now mlded. "I'm not much of a friend to cut ot thnt Intnt'h of loveliness," spoke llnri ey Austin. "You look no more ns you did than a Inmb does nfter a shearing." That's Just how I want to look." nsserted Ivjna, eyes defiant J'But do you think I'm willing to "sacrifice what ve been so proud of ns if It was nothing at all? I've got to get' away from those tyrants, the Mnrlows. But where will you go. Edna?" aNked Bart ley solicitously. "No matter where I go, .yon will be the only one of tlu people In this town I ever want to see again. Maybe after all I may be the grent actress you sny I have the talent to be, nnd If ever do I shall send for you. nod tnnke our fortune writing some wonderful piny for me As soon as it's dnrk I'll put on T.e suit of c lothes you brought me, and I nin sure no one will recog nize me ns a ruimwny girl when Setli Mnrlow and his family get after me." "I'll snve this one prettiest curl of hem nil." said Burtley, "nnd I'll keep next to my heart until I get rich and marry you some day. Good-by.H And there wns nn embrace, a kiss, nnd those two young, Innocent souls drifted apart. Kdnn wns an orphan nnd hnd found a home with the family of a step-broth er of her mother, n hnrd. bnrsh. cruel slave driver. His daughters envied their drudge lier pretty refined face and rnre wenlth of golden hnlr. Edna felt nil ambition nnd hope being crush ed out of her. SI e had but one true frleiid In whom she could trust. Bnrt- ey Austin, poor nnd lonely as her self. Going awny Into the unknown, his chivalry, his sympathy were nil thnt made her have faith In the future. Four years Inter Hartley left for a near city, and cast his lot In with a struggling, ambitious group of young fellows longing to develop their abil ity with brush, pen nnd pencil. A strange destiny had come to Edna. By the merest i hnnee she came across strolling band of players. They eared for her kindly and trained her In some minor parts In their repertoire. The eompnny broke up, but their aged mannger, John Brand, had taken q fatherly Interest In Edna. He had some practical Idens in the moving pie- ure line, woine capital, and at the end of several years, her beautiful heaif ol hair restored and more beautiful thaa ever, her expressive face tdmwlnjr new nnd more mature loveliness, flilf man ndopted her nnd made her nn ihs knowledged queen In rfassle plays of fhe screen. . At eighteen Kdnn found herself the Idolized daughter of tfu successful Brand and capable of earn ng a small fortune yearry. With his wife and Kdmr. Mr. Bran resided In a beautiful home- In a select part of the city. One day Edna, on Itf rear porch, chancing to glance wheii blind fane extended behind the house noticed a young man who had corat suddenly from the street, sought thtt shelter of the garage shed, quic&l) stripped off his coat and vest and re placed them with a ' thin, thread bare summer coat altogether too fral! for the cool autumn breeze. Tb young inni wrapped up hla discarded garments. At that moment hi fae came Into full View. Almost with a scream Kdnn run to the next room. aroused Mr. Brand from a plensnnt reverie. She seized his arm and rush ed him to the porch. Father, quick !" she spoke breath lessly. "Follow that man. find out where he lives. Oh. hurry" hurry! If means everything for me." The amazed Brand hastened to exe cute his mission, lie retnrnea in an hour to find Edna In a transport of excitement and suspense. "I followed the young man to a pawnshop where he raised a pittance on some clothing, then to a restaurant. where he ate like a famished man." ex plained Brand. "I managed to get Into his confidence. He Is an author In nam lines, has been earning a little money bv writing scenarios, has nn ambitious one he wishes me to read and 1 am to see him again tomorrow. .What Is this mystery, Edna. Why. as you say, does It mean so much to you!" She told him. and her big-hearted benefactor fell In with her plan at once. It was only after through his co-operation Bartley Austin had been put in touch with a promising literary future that Edna was revealed to Bartley. And together, soul to soul, they laughed, and then Tied, and then loved over the golden curl that Bartley Aus tin had retained aa a cherished nieiueu to through all the years of struggle and faith.
