two hungry children. It was whtn
sho turned him out a tecond cup of

"If Pierre was heio wo would be

"There tlute was no time to talk
over plans," nnswervd Philip, inwardlj
embarrastsid foi a motntnt b the un
c.pectcdness of Jeanne's tiuestlon A
vision of Pierre, bleeding and uncon
sclous on the cliff, leaped into his
mind, and the thought thnt he had
lied to Jeanne and mus,t still make her
believe what was htlf false slckintd
him. Their was, uftei all. a chance
that Pierre would never again come
up tho Chui chill "Pei haps Pleiif

ho went on, seeing no escape from the
demand in tho gill's eves, 'In thit
event It would bo best for mo to get

was thinking of ou. He can cire for
himself. It raij tako him two or

"He was wounded In the arm?"
"And on the head," Mild Philip. "It
was onlv a scalp wound, however
nothing at all, escept that It iHzed him
a little at the time."
Jeanne pointed to the reflection of.
the fire on the river.
'If we should he puisued?" she sug
Bested.

an exquisite ttndein'ss, a pride that

uf her words of a fvv minutes before

The other was tho tutor, tho man who
