There was one ghastly moment when a brief scrutiny was made
of our faces with the help of an uplifted lantern. Out it was low
ered, a grunt came from behind it, and e were passed through.
"Do you want lo ko or nt?" ho'
nnked. "No doubt they'll be a hit little,
still ye may have bserved that Bailors

Behind the trucks I changed Into An

though there was little need of thnt as
the night was nltch black and the r.iln

the dock. Duff was delighted with my
appearance.
"Come on noo," he snld "You nnd
mo will go bans throiiRh like a pair of
reciprocating cylinders."
So we pushed forward. There were
no signs of any passenKers proceedlnK
to the vessel: probably, according to
frequent practice, nil were aboard early,
and already asleep. Ahead of us
stretched the long row of lamps that
marked the edge of the quay wall, but
gae little light by which to walk.
Through the squalls of rain there came
from the distant boat the noise of hiss
ing steam, nnd tho hurried rattle of the
derrick, busy lifting In the heavy goods
"Dod." said Duff at length, "It'll no
do to slink up like this, as If we were
afraid. We'll Just have to tune up, and
give them notice of what to expect."
There was good peno In this sug
gestion: It would prepare their minds
before they saw us, to believe ua to be
what we pretended, and we should get
the readier entrance. Duff chose the
song, and I Joined In.
"Oh ye'll tak' the high road.
And I'll tak' the low road,
And I'll bo In Scotland afore jc."
"Just Jolly," Duff warned mc "Not
too drunken-like."
And so we went on, arm In arm,
stressing all tho unimportant syllables,
nnd holding on the final notes of each
line to a grotesque length, as la the man
ner of street ocallsts.
I dreaded the barrier horribly.

MY ItOOM at tho Y. W. C. A., though
somewhat smaller than tho one I
had occupied at grandfather's, was much
more comfortable and more sightly, too.
It looked out on the lake and In the
distance I could glimpse the Adirondack
Mountains. Keenly appreciative of the
beauty of the scenery, endowed with
youth's buoyancy and tho glow of per-
rect nealth, had my expectation of Im
mediate employment been fulfilled, with
out doubt I should have been a very
happy girl. But In debt nnd out of

thermore, the room In which I read a
welcome the evening I arrived now
wore a forbidding air and the setting
sun. Instead of going down In clorv
jusx Deyona tne lane, now typined the
sinking of the cargo of fond hopes.
Indeed, the procession ot tho days
became a tragedy; In the rules and
regulations which were tacked up on
the door there was a notice to? tho effect
that no girl waa permitted to remain

mado In passing us' Duff, It seemed,
wax n chnracler very well known to the
ofllclal usually In charge I heard him
say something to the others as we came
up. Kor all that, there was one ghastly
moment, which was when it brief scrutiny
was made of our faces with the help of
an uplifted lnntern. I blinked fonllbhty
Into the lantern, whistling the Ming, for

"Sing, yo daft goat," he whispered.
"Sing on Ye'll mnko them supeecloua

resumed our Interrupted song.
"I'll be In Scotland afore ye
Before ye, be foro e."
Duff inarert It out.
"And I'll be In Scotland be fore ye,"
I shouted back. And most devoutly did
t hope It!
When we got round the corner of the
sheds and ofllces, there lay the Kcnclla,
with the ganguny steeply reaching up
her side, and lights hurrying to nnd fro
In the last haste of Immediate departure.
Onro vi o were on board I was very
anxious to find out whether Miss Thomp
son was also there I told Huff, nnd he
said It would be easy to get a steward
to loolc at the passenger list to hup If
my sweetheart was aboard. And I had
to tell him that her nnnio would not bo
entered In tho list, nnd also that the
l.idv was not mv sweetheart.
"Well nwell," he said lmperturbably,
"don't get so heated. 1 Just wanted to
find out."
Ho conducted me to tho safety of the
stokehole, to reach which we descended
Innumerable iron-iutiged ladders, nmld
smells of oil and hjt metnl, Down there
I felt In perfict security against .til
search. Duff Introduced me to some of
his mates ns one who had to flee the
country because ho had clouted a bobby
nnd bowled over Billy the Knyser.

at the Y. W. C. A. longer than two
weeks at a time. Conscious that my
funds were low and that If their pres
ent rate of dwindling was maintained
and no Income secured, I should boon
lack the means to pay for board and
lodging anywhere, I discovered that no
matter where I turned that notice on
the door stared mo out of countenance.
In an effort to divert my mind 1 went
downstairs and In tho reading room
searched through' the flies of Belllngton's
two dally newspapers, but found them
devoid of interest from the .instant I
espied hi the columns devoted to the
news of the adjoining village an Item
stating that .Doctor Blake vvas taking
a vacation for the Ilrst time In fifteen
years, and with Mrs. Blake and their
little daughter Babara had gono to the
Yellowstone and would perhaps visit
Alaska before returning home.
It now seems strango that I did not
sooner Investigate tho situation nt the
library; but grandfather and Aunt Jane
had trained me to obey explicitly the
spoken word. The president had said
"Walt." Walt I must. After ten days,
however, I mustered up courage for
what appeared to be to be a heinous act
of disobedience. I presented myself at
tho library and In a low tone asked It
I might pleaso see the librarian.
The tone wns eo low that the attend,
ant, a spectacled young woman with red
hair, couldn't make out what I said.
"What do you want?" she Inquired In
a brisk, unpleasant manner, as she took
me In from head to foot. I vvas small
even for fifteen, and something In her
glance Implied that this was no place
for me. Whereupon I drew myself up
to my full height and announced with
dignity, "I should like to see Mr.

"Harold, please, grandfather!"
"What"' cried the doctor, Jumping out
cf his chair.
He had destined his ron for his own
profession, but folly had succeeded
folly, and nl last there had beeu a
scene nt the end of which the doctor
ordered his ron from his presence,
never to enter It again. Harold had
compiled twelve years ago.
Perhaps If his wife had been living
the old man's henrt would have yielded

and often nnd often he had deplored
the loss of his only child Hut his pio

The Utile Meoenuer
Now nnd again, at Intervals nf years,
he had had news nf Harold, He knew
that, after roaming In tho Avest, he
had returned to dwell In an obscure
part of the same town. Ho had heard
that ho had ii position vth a manufac
turing company nnd was ntonlng for
tho wlldness of his early years But
the old man was too proud to seek him,
and his son vvas a replica nf tho father.
Now he looked down with an emo
tion which left him Hieechless at the
little bov who claimed his name nnd,
npproach'lng, slipped his hand confid
ingly Into his. ,
"Well, who sent you here?" Doctor
Carter demanded.
"Nobody. I corned." answered the
little fellow, climbing upon the doctor s
knee You fee, I nlwavs wanted a

said cverjbody knowed whern Doctor
Carter lived, only she wouldn't let me

Doctor Carter looked down nt the

machine through the suburban streets.
It was five In the afternoon, nnd he made
a detour to nvold the shopping crouds.
It was only nfterwaid that It occurred
lo him that he took his main dliectlon
from the child by telepathy, though the
hoy guided him nlong the last street and
up to tho cottage door
"Is this your father's house?" nsked
the doctor. .... .,.
"Yes, g'anfather." answered the child.
But It was tint Thi .voting woman who

brought him home.
The Mrk Son
"Mr. Carter and I have a room on the
top floor," she said, looking at the doctor
dubiously. Tho resemblance to some
photograph that she had seen seemed to
strike her.
"I am Doctor warier, manam, sam
tho old man gravely. "And you arc, 1

It was a beautiful face that looked
Into his, the ejes swam with tears and
the voice was tremulous. "Oh. sir. I
do hope you don't think I sent sent

"To see mo? No, I haven't dared to
hope that," answered the doctor. "I

Silently tho girl opened the house door
and tho doctor nscended tho stairs until
he came to the room In which his son
was lying, racked with fever and deliri
ous, upon n bed
"He must be moved nt once," said the
doctor. "I am going to tako him away

painful one. For yeara her husband had
been working for the company; he had
started at the bottom and was Just get
ting a fair salary when he waa attacked
by a mysterious disease, After a month's
absence he had lost his position; that
was two months ngo, and the disease,
which no doctor could diagnose, had
made Inroads qpon his system until his
life seemed about ended.
"But this Isn't the way to the hos
pltnl!" she exclaimed, as the machine
turned Into n pretty lane nnd stopped
before a comfortable-looking house.
"It Is my house my private hospital,"
answered the doctor.
I'lrst Words
And half nn hour later Harold was
comfortable In bed and feebly conscious.
He looked up and recognized the face
of his father. Now. according to all
rules of literature, father and son ought
to have fallen Into each other's arms.
But, oddly enough, tho moment his son
recognized him tho doctor felt the old
pride tie his tongue and restrained the
hands that were so nnxlous to enfold the
young man's.
"You told me never lo let you see me
again," said Harold weakly, "'and I tried
lo keep my promise."
"You nre hero ns a patient, Mr. Cnr
ter," answered the doctor. "You owe
mo no grntltudo; It Is my duty to heal
with all the means In my power."
The young man averted his face. He,
too. had pride.
Nevertheless, In the daya that fol
lowed the doctor found It dlltlcult to
tonceal tho lovo that came Into his heart.
Mildred vvas Just the llttlo daughter-in-law
that ho had always pictured to him
self. And little Harold, blissfully un
conscious of anything but loving kind
ness, vvas creeping Into his heart dally
more and more until It seemed Impossible
that ho could ever let him go.
And, detplto his years of practice, the
doctor was unablo to diagnose hla son's
disease until tho famous physician ror
whom he had sent to New York camo
down and saw him.
It was a very lare disease, hardly
known In America, nnd, until recently,
Incurable. There wns a remedy now;
It consisted In nn extremely difficult
operation Only five cases were on
record where tho operation had been
performed: three had died, two had
lecovered completely,
Mildred, standing dry-eyed beside the
fnmous physician, listened to his ex
planation. Doctor Caiter turned to her.
"My dear," he said softly ho had
never called her that before "the de
cision rests with you "
"Operate," said Mildred firmly.
The Operation
And nn hour later the house was
filled with the fumes of the anesthetic.
Doctor Cnrter could not bring hlmelf
nt tho last moment to assist. He had
sent Instead for an anesthetist from the
city hospital.
I.lttle Harold, dimly conscious that
some terrlblo Issue was at stake, clung
to hla mother, whimpering, In the doc
tor's office Doctor Cnrter paced to and
fro distractedly. An hour had passed
since tho operation began, nnd still tho
house was filled with those nauseating
fumes. At last lie entereu tne room

Nobody knew tho effort It cost him

CHAPTER III
In the Giant's Grasp
(Previous chapters have told how
I'cooi), made invisible by Camouflage
Perfume, has gone to liirdland to at.
tempt to reform the Giant of the
Woods and enlist him In patriotic
farm work. There she saves the
Giant's life by attacking a rattle
snake that is about to strike him.)
THE Giant pave a great Jump to
one side as lie whirled nround and
saw the rattlesnake vvi lining on the
ground. Peggy navv that the snake
was not dead nnd gave It another blow
on the head ns It colled again. She
wns not strong enough to kill It.
The tllant was astonished nt seeing
the cluli apparently leap out of the
nlr nnd lilt tho snake for Peggy was
Invisible to lilm. Nevertheless, he wns
not too much nmazed to leap forward,
seize the rlub from Peggy's hand, nnd
glvo tho rattler a smash that finished
It.
The fisli that Peggv had nulled from
tho water was flopping arnunil In the
grass. Tho nolso staitled the Giant
nnd ho gave such a Jump that he
slipped down the bank, und. wott
splash Into the liver. He was up a'.'d
out ngnln 111 a second, but he looked
so surprised and funny that Peggy
couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hearing the laugh, the Giant bound
ed up tho bank nnd looked all around.
Peggy hid behind a tiee until she
remembered that she vvas Invisible and
then she camo out boldly. The Giant
looked fco nmazed at not finding nny
one nbout that Peggy laughed again.
The Giant In his perplexity whirled
arunod nnd nround like a top, trying
to find her.
Then suddenly, to Tcggy's surprise,
tho Giant sat down on a stump nnd
hurled his face In his hands, tho pic
liim of desnalr.
"It's no use." he muttered. "I've
trot 'em ncatn. I'm a goner."
Peggy's heart vvas moved by quick
pity.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Giant. It's
onlv me," she said.
Tho Giant Jumped up and glared
wildly around. Peggy scurried out of
his reuch.
"I'm seeing things nnd I'm hearing
things," he muttered, "I'm sure crazy
this time!"
"Of courso you'ro seeing things and
hearing things, but there's no harm
In thnt," t-ald Peggy reassuringly.
"Who are ou7" asked the Giant In
such n liumblo voice that Peggy
laughed ngaln. It vvas really funny
to have this great big chap so tame
nnd so hcared. And all because of a
tlnv llttlo girl whom he could not see.
"I nm Princess Peggy." she answer
ed. "You dori't know that you know
me, but you do. I'm the one who
freed all our bird captives."
"Oh." said the Giant. "You'ro tho
witch."
"Indeed I'm not a witch," protested
Peggy Indignantly.
"I've heard your voice before," went
on the Giant, "And I couldn't see you

a patriot of you."
"Why, I'm a patriot now," declared
tho Giant. "I den't eat nny meat,

adopted a Belgian orphan. Doesn't

"Well, If you can't fight in tho fields
of Fiance you can fight In the fields
of the United States." declared Peggy,
quoting from a speech In the news

"And In tho winter you could cut
up fallen trees In this forest, sell the

"To be sure I could. There are
plenty of chances to help our country
and also to mako money. And here
I've been worrying myself almost Into
a drunkard's gravo becauso you set
my birds free and robbed me of the
poor kind of living I'd been making
for myself and my Belgian orphan."
"Is that what was the matter when
you were acting so crazy before we

The Giant stretched out his hand
toward Peggy, and Impulsively she put
her hand In his. Instantly his fingers
closed down tight upon her, and she
felt herself the Giant's pilsoner.
"Why, you're ical," he ciled. "And

Peggy was dismayed. She was In
