""sally. By ALBERT FLEMING. [Popyi inl't, 18W, by tho Author.] CHAPTER I. | It was a hot (Liy in August, 0110 of those rocking days that begin to ho hot curly in tho morning and go on getting hotter and hotter till nearly midnight. In tho year INTO t'ow court and its uuwholesonio cluster of neighbors still clung to tho skirts of Hnlboru and fostered round St. Alban's ohureh, stretching from Gray's Ian road to Leather lane. Tho fiuo shops and warehouses that now adorn Gray's Inn road then only existed in tho hrain of some city architect. Of all those alleys Uow court carried off tho palm for squalor, dirt and general deeav. You had to turn out or Jjcather Jane to p ! there. Tin1 turi> ing was flunked on either side by a tavern, and these tnvems, with their plate glass and gilding, were the only things that woro bright and cheerful in this region. If you explored fart In r, you Haw an arclnvay 011 the right, made bv sweeping away the ground lloor of one of the cra/.v tenements. This was the postern gate to Cow court. If any one ever got so far as this and r< tained his Watch and chain, ho always lost them 011 approaching this nrehwav. On this August evening a young man was passing through Lent her lane in senrch of Cow court, lie was dressed ii j the latest west end fashion, hut e\. ,1 the hideous' chimney pot hut, pointed clinoa fluid 1"*' I 1 1 1: ..IMVO HIKI 11*1.1 1.111.11 t-IIIIIM lllll UlSgUISC Jiis comeliness. At n guess ho was three and twenty. Hoing of u trusting nature, ho allowed his gold chain to disport itself across his waistcoat, and his jeweled pin remained in his scarf. Kenneth Cordon was down from Oxford ami had boon culling on one of the clergymen at St. Alban's, who had asked him to take a letter to a dying girl in Cow court. He strode through the dingy street, sometimes asking his way of one of the residential ladies of Leather lane, and always winning a civil answer by the force of his genial smile. When he reached Cow court, a pleasant thrill of excitement pervaded that locality. The watch and chain had survived Leather lane, and now Hashed gny!y in the evening light. His pin held its accustomed placo. His handkerchief gleamed white against his coat. Inquiring of a hoy, ho learned that Polly Turner lived at Nit. 7, and he was escorted t hero hy a crowd of loafers. The girl was dying. The stulTy room was crowded with friends, nearly dark and unspeakably miserable. Kenneth gave her the letter, hut had in tnk-n it and rend it to lior. In tlio presence of that deathly white face he folt all usual forma of speech to be uselc -s. lie held her hand for a minute, tried to say a few kind words and then felt that la* had failed, hut the gcntlo touch and words went straight to the pill's heart, aud there rested until it ceased to brat. When Kenneth left No. ?, a child was lying Ln a doorway just opposite. Dirt, famine and ill usage had effectually obscured the bloom of youth in her. Her face was so dirty that he could only see two large eyes flashing from a tangled mass of hair. This was Sally. As slie * . _ never owned n surname it is impossible ? in introduce her more formally. If her friends wished to identify her with precision, they called her Tim's Sully. Tim was her father, and his surname was also hidden i:i obseurity. Sally had hoard that a young swell had come into Cow court and was waiting to have a look at him. O.i that she reckoned without her father, for Tim. enmino ilnu-n ? n ,,w " the passugo behind her, *"i11"< iced puront:t) discipline by a vigorous kirk tin her shins. Wljon you have kicked a body for ton years, you acquire precision in the art, and Ti n planted his kirk with such exactness that the girl fell down on the doorstop, and thoro slai lay, ton listless to cry out. Now nothing is tumor or more i loimtonous than to waste good kicks on an irresponsive person. So Tim was aggrieved, turd followed up his first kick I v others, accompanying thorn with a volley of inspiriting oaths. The last kirk it;ust. have caught Sally in u sensitive pi tic , for she gave a sharp scream of agony. "What's i hai r" cried a woman from un inner room. . "Oh," said another, "it's only Tint n-waking up his gull." \ As Kenneth left No. ? ho saw this kick and heard Sally's scream. Hn instantly strode ; loss the court. Tint was girding himself up for more kicks. For the iirst time in his life lie found this simple pastime of his interfered with. Kenneth fan d him sternly. "jjoavo tlio Kill alone, you blackguard! How (l.iro you kick a woman?" Not kick a woman! Cow court wuh convulsed. Why, women woro kicked I every day. Tiny expected it, accepted it an a law of nature. Tim and the bystanders paused for a moment to grasp the full absurdity of the idea, but only for a moment. Then Tim turned on him liko a wild beast, the veins in his great bull's neck swilling liko cords. "Who the are you? Can't a man kick his own gel 1? Get out of this, or I'll kick you too!" Then, in mere bravado, ho lifted his foot to give the girl another refresher. "Touch her at your peril!" cried Kenneth, flushing to the roots of his | hair. In another moment he hoard the thud of Tim's foot as it drovo lustily into tho gill, and at the selfsame mo inent Kenneth's list crushed into Tim's face, catching him on the jaw ami fend iug him reeling hack ward down t!t. passage. Then Cow court perceived that there was a j -yful prospect of a Homeric combat. In a few moments a ring was formed, and Id Ihddy was whisked aloft in hie hair in the arms of two stalwart su iters. Kenneth's blood was up. li lung his coat and wais tcoat to one bystander and his hut to another. Cow court accepted them with alacrity. Tim divested himself of moii:' superfluous rags, bared his stalwart arms and prepared to "smash the swell." iilddy surveyed both combatants with a critical eye. She knew the points of a man. "JJlood'll t< 11, " sho raid oracularly as she s iw Kenneth Hliaigh' n himself fi r the fip;ijt. lie had h \i 1 at Oxford and was in fair condition, sound in wind? above all, temperate and cool. The fir*- t round revealed to him that Tim fought in a very effective' hut utterly unsold)tiflo manner. Ho came at his enemy with a furious rush and phyntod terrific chance blows, hut he left himself uu unit wastrel a lot of strength I to no purpose. Keuneth quietly bidi il his time, parried Tim'N blows and li t Itim exhaust himse lf. Tim drew first blood, boating down Kenneth's parry and landing on his temple with considerable force. Still Kenneth ki'pt his temper, and the cooler he was tin> more savage grew Tim. The ring cheored him on, exhorting him to go in and do for the swell. Kenneth now began to act on the of- | fcnsivc. Letting drive, he caught Tim full on the mouth with all the strength of his sturdy left hand. His knuckles cut deeply into Tim's lips and sent him crashing to the ground, ltiddy rappe d approval with her cruteh. .She loved to ; see a straight blow well planted. Tim 11 fin rrv Mil II in I'll I II I nil g I III I V UIIM dazed. 1 lo was not a pretty sight. His hps wero like raw liver anil Jiis face distorted with passion. What little steadiness lie had lie then threw to the winds, and Kenneth's next blow caught him full in the eye. After this lie summoned his strength for one more furious onslaught. His blow was partially parried, but lauded on Kenneth's shoulder. In r< ply Kenm tb caught him full in the fori In ad, felling liini to the ground as a butcher does tin ox. After tliis Tim did not eoinu up to time. lie was drugged oil' into 8(imo back region ami left Kenneth undisputed mustcrof the held. Old Hiildy took a pull at her pipe, expectorated and said simply: "Ah, blood has told I" When Ki niifth pulled down his shirt sleeves and turm d to tho crowd to do luand his coat and waistcoat, they were not forthcoming. They had vanished. Then Kenneth flashed out, called them curs, sneaks and thieves. Cow court being accustomed to language of far greater pungency, preserved an unbroken calm. Then lliddy rose ill her wrath, j and, steadying herself on Iicr crutch, vowed, with many hlood curdling oaths, that the missing giiiinents should hp forthcoming, and tlmt quickly, condemning en passant the eyes and limbs of the thieves to infernal torments. The clothes appealed, and it was an ennobling sight to see t he old crone stand up and order him to search his pockets while she asked categorically: "Purse? Wipe? Cigar case? Watch? Chain?" ete. lCaeli had been honestly replaced. K' nneth then shook lliddy by the hand and gave her a sovereign to distribute among her subjects. .lust then lie felt something at bis feet, lie bad almost forgotten the girl he had fought for. She had crawled to fegisjf - '"fepyii I:---. 'x.y-h. : iv *J* I ' & 1 :1 lip . mm** mir&t Wt K-<v i k\*\ ft? "How dure hicU <t w<mmn?" his foot and his-rd t>10111. Thcro was a pal In t io and doglike fidelity in her look and gesture. "Don't leave mi' here," she said. "He'll do for inn worse now than over when y.m'ro gone." 1\( nnet h paused. It was oasior to fight than to know what to do with the damHel he had ri soiled, hut lie acted on impulse and threw iiis card to Biddy. " l'liere, mother, is my eatd. I'll take the ie 1 and get a good homo for her. That's my address, t'oniu and see her when site lias pulled round." "You have fought for her and won I her," said Biddy. "I'll hot you're honest and will do well hy her. 80 take her." CHAPTER II. Kenneth lived in an old fashioned house in Kensington, fenced from the nun r world hy well grown trees. His father and mot In r had lived t hero before him and hud died there. Kenneth then asked his two aunts to live \\ ith him. Aunt Hannah was tall, bony and vigorous; Aunt Matty fat and gentle. Hannah < iordon was well known in the nhil unthmpic world. ,Sho wits an aotivo member of (ho (Jharity organization? in fart, organization was her forto. Her special season 1 t gun about Novomber, win ii tho first touch of winter woko up (be poor. Then, take up what paper you like, and ten to one that in wmui corner of it you would find Aunt Hannah onlightening tbo world as to what they should do or not do Kx? ti r ball knew her not, nor did she subscribe to African missions or soup kitchens. What she gloried in were boards?school boards, poor boards, parochial hoards?all kinds of hoards. Nothing she enjoyed more than ferreting out abuses and getting them remedied. Her abomination was promiscuous charily, ii was beautiful to put her on the track of seme philanthropic impostor and oh rvo with what holy zeal she would hunt him down to tho death. It was she that opened people's eyes to t he iniquities of that arch impostor, the archdeacon of Saratoga. H i .v that he was the darling of west end drawing loonie When she took hint in hand, he exchanged liolgravia boudoirs for Holloway jail and wasted much persuasive penitence on tho chaplain. i i'> v many sham mendicants did she not expose, pouncing upon then in the highways and I ways and giving them in ohi.- ewithj ?yful alacrity! It was Aunt Hannah who plunged into a crowd in I ie -adiily when a poor man, seized with an epileptic fit, was nor rounded by ti ring of sympathetic l>v standers. Klhowinf? her way through tlieui, who speedily seized linn by tho collar. "hpilcptio lit, in it? I'll soon ouro y< n!" "L avo the poor man alone!" cried a tenderhearted bystander. "Don't you wee he's foaming at the mouth?" "Hoap!" fried Hannah contemptuously, ami, I > and heboid, the muujjdid come out of his very artistic Jit, spat out a lump of soap and said: "Let me ^o, can't yer? Ye'ro either ; the devil or old Hannah!" "You're lhjht!" she raid triumph| antly. "I am old Jluumth, and, what < | more, ii ? v. r 1 eateli ymi l aving a lit ajptin I'll run you i:: " 7 i I Aunt Mat tie wnh tin* very reverso oT this. Anut Hannah always alluded to her in her milder moments as "poor, dear Mat-tic," and in in r more vigorous oiks as "that fool, Matilda." Matilda had never lieeu on a hoard in her lift', hut if you lopkt d down the subscription list of any missionary society you would he sunt to tind her modest initials. "1 never put my full name," slut sanl meekly. "Hannah makes such a fuss." It was to this household that Kenneth brought iSally. The girl had fallen asleep as tliev drove alum/. Kenneth ]>lan ?l her on I lie seat, hut Sully preferred lying on tho floor of tin cab and coiled herself up at his feet like a dog When they got home, Kenneth carried the tired girl in, and, seeing that she was not fit for the drawing room, placed her on the mat in the hall, whero she lay?a little heap ?f hirt and tousled hair. As he entered the thawing room he heard Aunt Hannah reading in her very emphatic voice the summary of a paper she intended to d? liver at a charity organization conference next day. It was entitled "Sixti cii Reasons Against the Present System of Outiloor Parochial Relief." She had got as far as the tenth. Kenneth's entrance was hailed with joy by tho long suffering Mat tie. "Oil, hero you lire!" she cried. "Ten o'clock, and you were to he here by o." "I've brought home a girl." Aunt Hannah dropped the 1<> reasons and ejaculated, "What?" Mattie started. Those live words might mean so much. With the calm that precedes si storm Aunt Hannah took oil her glasses, rubbed them slowly and waited, hut further explanation was interrupted by a scream from Aunt Mattie: "Why, Kenneth, you've got a great cut on your temple, and there is blond on your collar!" "It's nothing. I've had a light. A brute was kicking a girl, and I licked him and brought the girl homo. She's only a child. " Aunt Hannah put her glasses into (heir ease with a snap and recovered her voice. "Drought her home! Is this house a casual ward or night refuge? Why, heaven bless us, tho hoy's gone stark, staring mad!" Mattie had forgotten the girl and was giving her mind to sticking plaster. "I've left her on tho mat ontsido," Rtfdcd Kenneth apologetically. "She isn't as clean as she might he." HanHull Ktrnrln t lw? ilnnv rri?n pretty with fri\sli (lowers, ferns and bright tiles, Its prettiness emphasized the incongruity of Sally's appearance. She was lying where Kenneth had left her. llor one shoo was tied on with a bit of string; her froek was rapped, but the rents did net show, for her skin was as black as hor froek. One frightfully bony arm fell across her knee, and the other hid her face. M at tie peeped from behind llannah. Ha mah said authoritatively: "(Jot up and be otf with you!" Sally immediately gave vent to such a t< rent of bad language that the two ladies lushed away and shut themselves in the drawing room. Mattio began toery, but Hannah seated herself rigidly in her armchair. "This is too much, Kenneth!" "It's gctt ing awfully late, " said Kenneth. "Suppose we don't talk of this till tomorrow. I'll get Bridget to wash Sally and make her up a bed somewhoro." ' Keep that thing in the house and be murdered in our beds and have the lion ho r? isackcd from top to bottom?" ' Vou can't turn her into tho street at 10 o'clock at ni^'.it. Br 't cm surely k'i\o Sally some supper and a blanket, and wo will look her in tho back kitchen." The aunts protested, but yielded. Sally followed Kenneth down stairs liko a lamb, but fresh diflicullies arose with Bridget. They increased when Sally announced that she would tear anybody limb from limb who touched her. But when Kenneth said that he wished her to he clean and neat the child changed, and sho informed Bridget that "she lnipht boil her alive if tho boss wished it done." CHAPTER III. Next morning Kenneth surveyed tho position. Of course he could send Sally to a workhouse school or to a refuse, but lie did not want to let tho ^irl he had won by his bow and spear drift away from him. Mia #.1.1 ?.r.u 1 I_.I - ..... ./.> iiuinu nun IUIW lining (HI II pension, ami lio resolvod to send Sully to her. This seemed easy while ho was dressing, hut much loss easy when ho saw his aunts. Mat lio was nervous, Hannah full of repressed vigor. "It's a comfort that wc still havo spoons to stir our tea with," said the latter. "1 havo boon thinking about Sally," he began. "I am sure, Aunt Hannah, you will help mo." lie was interrupted by a sound of crashing china?a seufllo accompanied by piercing shrieks and the sound of hurrying feet. Aunt Hannah made a dash at the hell, exclaiming, "Has the devil broken loose?" The door was flung open and the servants dragged in Saliy. She resisted violently, kicking, plunging and swearing like a trooper. Hridgot began: "And I do saj\ sir, it's too bad to go and bring home such scum and expect decent people to sit with her. She's half killed .lames." "Yes," cried the housemaid, "she up with a plate and hroko it over his head, and he's a mass of gore in the kitchen this minute. " "(Jonio hero, Sally!" cried Kenneth sternly. They released her, and she stoo l before hint with Hashing eyes and cheeks, (lushed with I he glow of com hat. An old dress of the cook's had been pinned round her. It was half torn otY now. Her matted hair had been combed out and rolled up. It lay on her shoulders now in a shaggy mass, and, its Aunt Hannah said, she looked a little demon. Hal win n Kenneth took her in hand and spoke kindly the flash in her eyes turned to tears. "Sally, what havo -you boon doing? How dare you attack .lames?" "What (till 'ad lie tojay 'ands on vour boots?" "What on onrth does sho moan?" "Why, sir, after breakfast James beRan to clean your boots as usual, and she (lew at liiin like a tiger, tore them out of his hands, broke a plate over his head and swore she'd kill him. And as for her lauguago"? "If he touches them again, I'll out his liver out," interrupted Sally. "Now, look here, girl!" Auut Hannah began.

"Messed if 1 won't try, and I'll go this moment and ax his blooming pardon. " And, so eaying, Sally picket! up her trailing garments and rushed out of the room. "A perfect little savage," Haiti Hannah. "Two years at a reformatory might do good, but I doubt it." "1 thought I saw tears in her oyeH," Haiti Mattie. "And what handsome eyes!" Haiti Kennet h. "Now, jiiHt answer me this," said Hannah. "What oil earth made you bring this vagrant hero? You plunge into Home lilthv eourt. L'et vonr head cut open and liuvo lliin croaturo Hung on your hands.
