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

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?"

K' nneth then shook lliddy by the hand
and gave her a sovereign to distribute
among her subjects.

feet, lie bad almost forgotten the girl
he had fought for. She had crawled to

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?

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

"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:: "

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.

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

"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

"If he touches them again, I'll out

"Messed if 1 won't try, and I'll go

" 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

Hannah. "What oil earth made you
