"Infernal young fool I" ha said sav
agely, after a moment j but whether he
referred to a youth who Was just -at
that moment passing or to Jimmy Chat
loner seemed uncertain.
Sangster took Christine to a llttlo
out-of-the-way restaurant, where he
knew thero would not bo many people.
He carofully avoided referring again
to Jimmy; ho talked of anything and
everything under tha sun to trv to din.
tract her attention. Sho had declared
that sho was not hungry ; but, to his de
light, he ato quite a good lunch. She
liked tho restaurant ; she had never been
In Bohemia before. She was much In
terested In nn old table Sangster showed
her. which was carved nil over with thn
signatures of well-known patrono of tho
house. A llttlo flush crept Into her palo
cheeks; presently sho waa smiling.
Sangster was cheered; he -told himself
mac biio only needed understanding. Ho
believed that If Jimmy chose ho could
convince) her that everything wns going
to be all right In the futuro ; ho believed
that with a llttlo tact and patience Jim
my could entirely regain her lost confl
uence, uui patience ana Jimmy seemed
somehow irreconcilable; Jimmy waa too
young too selfish. He sighed Involun
tarily ob ho looked at Christine.
When they had left the restaurant
again, and wero walking toward the
park, ho deliberately began to talk about
Jimmy.
"I euppoio Jimmy never told you how
ho and I first met, did ho?" he asked.
"No," Her-sensltlvo llttlo faco flushed.
She lookod up at him eagerly.
"It isn't a bit romantic really," ho
said. "At least, not from my point of
view; but I daro Bay you would bo In
terested, becauso It shows what a fine
chap Jimmy really Is." Ho took It for
granted inai sne was listening. Ho went
on; "It was some years ago now, of
course five years, I think; and I wan
broke broke to the wide, if you know
wnai mat means I" ho glanced down
at her wnlllngly. "I'm by the way of
being a struggling journalist, you
know," ho explained. "More of the
struggling than tho Journalist. I'm not
a bit of good at the job, to bo qulto can
did; but it's a llfo I like and latoly
I've managed to scrape along qulto de
cently. Anyhow, at thn thru T mil
Jimmy I was down and out.
Fleet street would havo none of me, and
a vrn nau .o pawn my waicn.
"Oh!" said ChriBtlnn with soft sym
pathy.
Sangster laughed. .
"That's nothing; Ii'h been pawned
fifty times slnco It first camo Into my
possession, I should think. D6n't think
I m asking for sympathy I'm not. It's
mo sort or life that buUb me, nnd I
wouldn't change It for another oven If
I had tho ohanco. But tho night I ran
across Jimmy I was fairly up against
It I hadn't had a square meal for a
weok, nnd I wns 111, to odd to the
troublo. Jimmy waa coming along Pall
Mall In evening dress. He was smoking
a cigar that smollcd good, nnd I won
dered as he passed me, If I dared go
up and nsk him for a shilling."
"Oh, Mr. Sangster 1" Ho looked down
hearing the d'stress In her voice.
"Don't look bo sorry!" ho said vory
gently. "It's all In a day's march for
mo. I've had my good times, and I'vo
had my bad ; and when I como to wrlto
the story of my life when I'm a bloat
ed millionaire, that Is I" ho added In
laughing parenthesis "it will mako flno
reading to know that I waa onco so hard
up. that I cadged a Bhllllng off a swell
n ovenlng dross I"
But Christine did not laugh; her eyes
were almost traglo as she looked up
wondering at Sangstcr'B honest faco.
"And and did you ask him?" eho
questioned.
"Did I not!" said Sangster heartily.
"I went up to him Jimmy Btopped dead.
I bellevo ho thought I was going to pinch
his watch and I said, 'Will you be a
sport nnd lend mo a bob?" Not a bit
romantic, you seo I"
Christine caught her breath.
"And did he did her' she asked
eagerly. Sang3ter laughed romlnlscent-
iy.
"You'll never guoss what ho said.. He
asked no questions, ho took tho cigar
from hla lips and looked at me, and he
said. 'I haven't got a bob In the world
till my brother, tho Great Horatio, sends
my monthly allowanco along; but If
ii 11 como as far as tho next street, I
know a chirp I can borrow a sovereign
rom.' wasn't mat lust Jlmmv nil
oor?"
ChriBtlno was laughing, too. now.
'Oli, I can just Jiear him saying It!
un Just see him!" Bho cried. "And
lien what did you do?"
"Well, wo wont along to this pal of
'Immy'u, and Jimmy borrowed a fiver.
o gao mo throe pounds, and took mo
ilong to have a dinner. And well, we've
oen pais over since. A bit of luck for
no, wasn't It?"
"I was thinking," said llttlo Chrlstlno
xcry earnestly, "that It wus a bit of luck
or Jimmy."
Sangstor grew furiously rod. For a
moment he could think of nothing to
"ay; ho had only told tho story In order
to soften her toward Jimmy, and In a
mensure ho had succeeded.
Christine walked besdo him without
speaking for somo time ; her brown eyes
were vory thoughtful.
Sangster talked no more of Jimmy ;
hu was too tactful to overdo things
Jimmy was not mentioned between them
'gain till he took her back to the hotel.
Then:
"I don't know how to thank you for
bclncr so kind to me." shb Hnld onrnAlv.
Her brown eyes were lifted confidingly
to his face. "But I've been happier th s
afternoon than than I'vo aver been
ilnco my mother died."
Sangster gripped her hand hard for a
moment
"And you will bo happy alwuyti If
you're just a llttlo patient," ho said
rather huskily. "Jimmy's a spoiled boy,
and and It a tho women who hnvn m
dhow nil of us oh? It's the women who
ire our guardian angels; remember
that I"
Ho hated himself for having had to
blame her, oven mildly, when the fault
waa so utterly and entirely Jimmy's
It seemed a monstrous, thing that Chrls
rlmi should havo to teach Jimmy un
lelflshncBa; ho hoped ho had not said
too muclL
But Christine was really much hap
pier, had he known It. She went up to
her room and changed hor frock for one
of tho few simple ones she had had new
when sho waa married. She did her hair
In a wny sho thought Jimmy would llko ;
she sent one of the servants out for
flowers to brighten the llttlo sitting
room: sho timidly ordered what she
thought would be nn xtra nice dinner
o please him. The waiter lookod at her
luestlonlngly.
"For for two, madam?" ho asked
hesitatingly.
"Yes, pleaso. Mr. Challoner nnd I will
Jlno up hero this evening."
Ah a rule, Jimmy dined downstairs
alone, and Christine had something sent
JP to her. Sho was vaguely beginning
o realize now how foolish sho had been,
Tho little time she had spent with Sang
stor had been like the opening of a door
.i) her poor llttlo heart, letting In fresh
air and common sense. Aftor all, how
could. she hopo to win Jimmy by tears
and recriminations? She had heard tho

moment In which to apply It to herself

ns he turned to leave the room.
"And and will you find out what

as a rule; and and serve tho same this

The man hosltated, then :
'Mr. Challoner told me ho should
not be dining In this evening, madam,"
he said reluctantly. "Ho came In about
:Llfe? o dock and went out again; I
think there woo a messago for htm. He
told mo to tell you If you came In." Ho
averted his .eyes from Christine's
blanching face as her spoke. "I am sure

quite still in the empty room when ho
had gone ; It seemed all the more lonely
and empty now that once again sho had
