It would be necessary for some one to s> to Springfield to make iatrestigat us Grace1 had for ever alienated Abbott • Ashton, but there was always Robert j Clinton. He wouid obey her very i wish: Robert Clinton should go. And when Robert had returned with a fall ' history- of Hamilton Gregory's school- i days at Spriugtield. and those of Greg ory's intimate friends. Fran, with the proofs of her conspiracy spread before her. should be driven forth, never again to darken the home of the phik J anthropist. CHAPTER XIII. Alliance With Abbott. For the most part, that was a s.ieat j walk to Hamilton Gregory's Abbott Ashton pushed the wheel-chair. and it was only Mrs. Jefferson, ignorant o: ! •chat had taken place, who commented ' on the bright moon, and the relief of rose-scented breeies after the musty auditor.un> of Walnut Street church. "They were bent and determined on Fran going to choir practice." *b’ old lady told Abbott, "so Lucy and t went along to encourage her. for they say she has a fine voice, and they wan: aii the good singing they can havt at j Undo Tobe Fuller's funeral. 1 despise j big doings at funerals, but I expect to go. and as 1 can't hear the solos. r.or i the preacher working up feelings, all ' FU have to do will be to sit art5 look at the coffin " "Mother." said Mrs. Gregory, ‘‘you ' are not cheerful tonight." No.” the other responded. "I think it's from sitting so long by the Whited j Sepulcher.” Mrs. Gregory spoke into the trum pet. with real distress—"Mother, moth er! Abbott won't understand you: he doesn't know you are using a figure of speech." Yes." said the old lady, "number thirteen, if there's anything unlucky in figures. " Abbott effected diversion. ' Mrs. ! Gregory. I'm glad Miss Noir agre-ni to say nothing about h“r discover.-'?. for . the only harm in them is what people might imagine. 1 was pretty uneasy, at first, of course 1 knew that if she felt she ought to tell it. she would ! never knew anybody so conscientious.'' There was a pause, then Mrs. Greg ory responded "She will cot te Abbott had seen them safely into the house, and hai reached the gate on his departure, when Fran cac run ning up la pleased surprts he opened the gate for her. but she stopped in the outside shadow, atd he paused withm the yard. "Fran!" he exclaimed wirh pleasure. Is the practice ended*" She made no response "Fran, want's the maturf Silence. Abbott v as both perplexed and hart. “Remember what we said on the ne bridge,” he urged: “weVe triads 'while we're together and after we part:’” “Somebody ought :© barn that new i bridge." said FTaa is a muffled tone; . “it's no goat’ mu.i.g wishes '.cm* j trae.” "Why lo you say that? AreaY we the best of friends *" 1 Ftan collected herself, and spoke with cool distinctness “l have a pret ty hard fight.

"You are Grace Noir's friend—that | explains it." "I am your friend, too. Kras.” "My t'riead, Coo!" she echoed bit ter!.- “Oh. thanks—also!” Abbott caute through the gate, and tried to%rerd her face. "Hoes th. fact that ! am her frioud condemn me?" No — just classifies you. You couldn't be' her friend if you were not a mirror in which she sees herself: her conscience is so sure, that she hasn't use for anything but a faithful reflector ot her opinions." Her friends are mere puppets, it a: r< ..:s." Abbott said, smiling. "But that's rather to her credit, isn't It? Would you mind to explain your imagi nation of her character?" H!s jesting tone made her impa tient I don't think her character has ever sad a chance to develop: sh-> s too fixed on thinking herself what she isn't. Her opinion of what she ought to be is so sure, tha; she has never discovered v. hat she really is. And you can't possibly hold a se cret from her. if you're her friend: she takes it from you as one snatches a toy front a little child." Abbott w as still amused. "Has she emptied rn£ of all she wants?" 'Yes You have given her strong weapons against me. and you may be sure she'll use them to her advantage.” "Fran, step back into the light—let me see your face; are y ou in earnest ? Y'our eyes are smoldering—Oh. Frau, those eyes! What weapons have l given her?” Fran set her back against the fence, and looked at him darkly. "The secret of my age and the secret of ns> past. " "1 told her neither." “As soon as you and Mrs. Gregory wheeled away Mrs. Jefferson." said Fran. “1 went right down from the choir loft, and straight over l> her. 1 looked her ia the eye. and 1 asked what you had been telling abcu* me Why. you told her everything. ev--u that 1 was trying to Srd out whether you and I would ever—won id ever get married! 1 might as well say it, it came pa: enough from her—and you told! Nobody else knew And you dropped vour King of Hearts o-*-' the fence—you told her that! And when we were standing there at the sate, you even tried—but no. Ill leave you and Miss Grace to discuss such sub jects. Here we are at the same gate, ba: l guess there's no- much dagger, now!" "Fran!” cried Abbot: with burning cheeks "I didn't tell her. ujfco my Fran Set Her Sack Aga ns: the Fence and Looiied at Him Darkly hoc or I didn't- I had to admit drop ping the card, to keep her from think ing you oat here a: midnight with a stranger.

'What have you been saying about ate. Miss Xoir!" She said—"I understand front Professor Ashton that you are not a young girl at ^all. but a masquerader of at least j eighteen years.' I answered—'Being ■ a masquerade: of at least thirty-five, you should have found that out, your self' I hardly think she's thirty-five; it wasn't a fair blow, but you have to fight Indians in the brush. Then your friend said. Professor Ashton informs me that you are a circus-girl. Don't ; you think you've strayed too far from the tent?' she asked. I said—Oh. 1 , brought the show with me; Professor . Ashton ;s my advance advertising ' agent.’ Then she said that if I’d leave. Mr. Gregory need never know j that I'm an impostor. But I told her no tickets are going to be returned. 1 said—‘This show absolutely takes place, rain or shine.’” "Frau." said Abbott in distress. “I want to talk this over—come here in ! the yard where you're not so con spicuous." "Show-girls ought to be conspicu- : ous. No, sir. I stay right here in the glaring moonlight. It doesn't call for i darkness to tell me anything tnat is j | on your mind.

"You’re a weak brother, but here—" And she slipped her hand into bis. • If she'd been in conversation with i me. I wouldn't have let her have any | presentiments. It takes talent to keep ; from telling what you know, but gen ius to keep the other fellow from guessing. What I hate about it is. that the very next time you fall into her | hands, you'll be at her mercy. If I j told you a scheme I've been devising, j she’d take it from you in broad day ; light. She «.ar. always prove she's right, because she has the Terse for It—and to deny her is to deny Inspira tion. And if she had her way—she thinks I'm a son of dissipation— there d be a national prohibition of Fran." "If there were a national prohibition of Fran. I'd be the first to smuggle you in somehow, little Nonpareil, isn’t it something for me to have tak en you on trust as I have, from the very beginning*" j His brows eyes were so earnest that i Fran stepped into the shadow, “it’s 1 more than something. Abbott. Your j trust is about all I have. It's just j like me to be wanting more than I • have. I'm going to confide in yon my scheme.
