To ngree with what was in Elotre‘s | mind was the enntert way of getting [along with her, and unter It was in matters of grave tmportance or some» thing that concerned the happiness of other people, Lourestine never disagreed with this spofled foster sister. "Bedloy‘s have the best necklaces," abe sald now genuy, "If only mother had not lost her dinmond and pear! necklace!" mourned | the young driver, | "Aunt Ellen says it was perfectly beautiful, and mother #ald 1 should weur it at my graduation party. She put It away for safeleepIng somewhere one day when she left the house, and she could never remember where! I can‘t see why father Ian‘t willing to put as much money in one for me now!" Laurestine saw why. Corey Faroum did not belleve in the extravagant style of dress in which Elotse and her moth er reveled, and though be usually gave way to the mother‘s demands, at a time when the hands of millions of bungry little children were atretched out In piteous nppert, his generous chfldIng heart could never sanction a $5. pearl necklace for his daughter‘s graduation gift.

At the corner a little old man, stooped and slightly lnme, wearing clean blue overalls and Jumper,*atarted neross the atreet. Elols, frowning heavily, was Inattentive to her driving and the old Irishman was knocked down and did not rise . At the hospital to which they took him the two girls, shaken and troubled, watted to learn the.extent of his injuries, . When he recovered conaciousness Lourestine, against Eloise‘s protest, insisted on seeing hlm. As she bent over his cot and a pair of bright ayes, as blue an her own, looked up at her out of the white old face she burst | into tears, "It breaka my heart to think we burt / you!" she cried. "Dou‘t redden your swate eyes for me," he whispered. . "If I die ‘twill be becus me time his come." | He put bis hund in his bosom and drew out a little package.

When Mra. Farnum, in xreat excitement went to look for Eloise, Vincent turned to Laureatine. "Ill try to arrange for our murriage this evening, my sweet, but I‘ve got to go back now and work about all night to get things ready, Why, Laurie, what to IT" She had drawo berself out of his arms and stood facing him, a glowing #pot on each pale cheek.

At 5:80 the mext moruing, when Robert, his face set and proud and elnte, came for Leurestine, she was wearing the recovered pearls. The old Irishman‘s face was radiant when she bent to kiss him.
