Mui waa apparently no nearer the nac
i - Hoe of her social position than when
.in had made that the test of her love.
Hut non the. less certain waa It that
she resented, aa the bad a right to do,
the suggestion that John Gordon might
glre bia lore to some other woman,
possibly to this one whom sbe bad
never seen, whom she waa going to see
now, why she did not know, aside from
t certain curiosity that longed to be
satisfied.
At the carriage entered Bowen street
all three of them looked with different
degrees of luterest at the sight of the
double decker. Heaps of rubbish still
covered the entire burned area, and the
same melancholy groups of children
were scattered about playing over the
ruins. At the farther end of the nren
some men were inking iiienNurcmeiita
and talked earnestly. Among the
men I.uellu thought she saw John Gor
don. Going lu through the nreliwny which
had bent over so much human trouble
and snerllh-e, they were greeted in the
broad hull by .Miss Andrews herself,
who was Just passing through to the
library nnd stopped to greet the vis
itors ns she saw (hem coming In.
"I am very glud to siv you," she suld
simply as she shook hands w ith III. 'in
all. "Will you come Into the library?
Our little front parlor has boon turned
Into a hospital w aid since the lire."
They nil went lu and sat down, w hile
Miss Andrews thanked l.uclln for her
gift, saying. "I ought perhaps to have
enlltM Instead of aeknow leilulng jour
kindness by letter, but my excuse for
not doing so has been the work here."
"Oh. I did not oxpvt nut Ihlug more "
l.uelhi tnurmiiivil. What was tho se
cret of Ibaee Andrews' power? She
felt something more than common In
this woman at once. While she was
silently trying to analyze the matter
Mrs. Penrose was asking uitlons.
"Rut yoji have not been here much
longer than twelve years? ja
i moon years nexi spring.
'Tardon mo. Miss Andrews, are you !
related to the Olay-Amhvw a family of ;
lbiltimoiv?" I
"Mrs. Hamilton Andrews of Haiti
more was my father's own cousin."
"Then yon Itelong to the Claytons of
West Virginia V
"One branch of the Claytons married
Into the family."
Mrs. Penrose pushed her Inquiries
one question further.
"Wasn't your mother known all
through the south as the beautiful
Miss Rodney of BaHtmoro?"
"Yes," Misa Andrews answered quiet
ly. "If yon know my family history.
"That icoanarei. Tommy Randan.

Penrose and Luella as If be were in tbe
habit of meeting them every day In
Rowen atreet, and nodded to Penrose,
aa If Penrose waa a familiar sight In
the neighborhood of Hope House.
"What has Tommy Itnndul! done
now?" Miss Andrews questioned, with
a faint smile. "Tommy Kaniliill dots
the heavy tragedy In Ward IS." she
said to Mrs. Penrose.
"ltnndnll has bought up lots nil over j
this burnt district Ilo has closed con
tracts for half n dor.en double deckers
like the one Mr. Marsh had put up."
John Gordon continued, entirely tin
mindful of Luelhi. or. nt lenst. cureless
of the effect of what ho said upon her.
"He has worked nil this time tve have
been discussing the park plan. Hut
how could we do anything?" Gordon
spoke in despair, niliheHsIng Miss An

"We only hud the money to jmrelmse

that anything would get In I ho w ay of 1

I.uellu Mushed and then ibllanlly

As he spoke Gordon laid bis linger
for n second on Miss Andrews nrtn.
lie was standing close by her. nnd the
movement was perfectly natural.

she moved 11 little nwny fnuii tinrilon
and saht:
"He will not Insult mo."
"I almost wish hp vctuild Insult some
one so that I could have some excuse
for knocking Win down," Gordon nn
rwervd. Neither Misa Andrews nor
Luella had ever seen liltn mj nngry.
Mrs. Penrose watched aM this with
