CHAPTER I.
It was a hot day in August, one o
thoso reeking days that begin to be ho
early in the morning and go on gettinE
hotter and hotter till nearly midnight.
In the year 1870 Cow court and iti
unwholesonio cluster of neigh bors stil
clung to the skirts of Holborn and fes
tored round St. Alban's ohurch, stretoh
ing from Gray's fun road to Leatho:
lano. Tho flno shops and warehouse
that now adorn Gray's Inn road thei
only existed in the brain of some oit;
architect. Of all those alleys Cow cour
carried off the palm for squalor, dir
and genoral decay. You had to turn on
of Loather lano to get there. The turn
ing was flanked on either side by a tav
ern, and theso taverns, with their plat
glass and gilding, were the only thing
that were bright and cheorful in thi
region. If you explored farther, yoi
saw an arohway on the right, mado b:
sweeping away the ground floor of on
of the orazy tonomonts. This was th
postern gato to Cow court. If any on
over got so far as this and retained hi
watch and chain, lie always lost thou
on approaching this archway.
On this August evening a young mau
was passing through Leather lano il
soarch of Cow court. He was dressed it
the Iltest wst end fashion, but evci
the hideous chimniiiiy pot hlt, pointe6
shoes and rigid collar could not disguis
his comeliness. At a guess lie was thre
and twenty. Being of a trusting naturc
he allowed his gold chain to disport it
self across his waistcoat, and his jon
Cled pill remxained in his scarf.
Kenneth Gordon was down from Ox
ford and had been calling onl on of th
clergymen it St. A lban's, who had iskoe
him to tako a letter to a dying girl i
Cow court. 1io strodo through the ding
street, sometimes asking his way of on
of the residential ladies of Loather lian
and always winning a civil answer b.
the force of his genial smile. When I
reached Cow court, a pleasant thrill c
excitement porvaded that locality. Thi
watch and chain had survived Loathe
Jane, andl now Ilashod gay!y in the evet
iUg light. His pin held its accustome
place. Ilis handkerchiof gleamed whit
against his coat'.
Inquiring of a boy, lie learned thia
Polly Turner lived at No. 7, and lie wa
escorted th(oro by a crowd of loafers. Th
girl was dying. The stuffy room wa:
crowded with friends, nearly dark an
unspeakably miserable. Kenneth gav
her the letter, but had to take it bacl
and read it to her. In the presence u
that deathly white face ho felt all usua
forms of speech to be useless. l heb
her han~d for a minute, tried to say I
few kind words and then felt that h
hIad failed, but the gentle touch a11
words went straight to the girl's heart
and there rested until it ceased to beat
When Kenneth left No. 7, a child wa
lying in a doorway just opposite. Dirt
famine and ill usage had effectually ob
soured the bloom of youth in her. He
face was so dirty that ho could only se
two large eyes filishing from ia tangle
mass of hair. This was Sally. As si
never owned a surniaine it is impossib]
to introduce her mocre formally. If h
friends wished to idlentify her with p~r
clii, they called her Tim's Sail:
Timi wa~s her father, and lisa surnan.
was itasolhiddoni in obsourity. Samlly he
hieardl that a young swell had come ini
Cow court and wasll waitinlg to hlave
look at himi. On that she reckoned with
out her father, for Tim, com1 ing doew
thle passage~ bobind her, enforced parei
tal discipline by a v'igorouls kick on he
shins. When you have kicked ai bod(
for ton years, you acquire prec'isioni
the art, and Tim planted his kick wit
such exactness that the girl fell dlow
on the doorstep, and there she lay, te
listless to cry out. Now nothing
tamer or more monotonous than to was
good kicks (il anl irresponsive persil
So Timi was1 aggrieved, and followed r
his first kick by others, accompanlyi:
them with a volb-y of inspiriting oath
The last kick miu.t haveocaught Sally
a sensitive place, for she gaivo a shai
seream of agony.
''What's that?'' cried a woman fro:
an inner roolm
'Oh,"' said another, ''it's only Ti:
a-waking up his~ gell."
As KennethI left No. 7 lie sawv th
kick and1( heard S:ihly's screaum. lie ii
stantly strode across the court. Tim wi
girding himself up for inure kicks. Fo
the first time in his life lie found th
simple pastimo of his Interfered with.
Kenneth faced him sternly.
"'Leave the girl alonie, you blac]
guard!i How dare you kick a wvomani
Not kick a woman! Cow court wvi
oonvulsed. Why, women were kick<
every day. They expected it, accopth
it as a law of nature. Tim and the b;
standers p)aused for a moment to gras
the full absurdity of the idea, but on
for a moment. Then Tim turned on hi:
like a wild beast, the veins in his greo
bull's neck swvelling like cords.
"'Who tile --- are you? Can't a me
kick his own goli? Get out of thia,
I'll kick you tool'' Then, in mere bri
vado, he lifted his foot to give the gi
alhother refresher.
''Touch her at your peril 1" eric
Kenneth, flushing to the roots of b
hair. In ainother moment lie heard ti
thud of Tim's feet as it drove lusti]
into the girl, and at the seifsame me
ment Kenneth's fist crashed into Till
face, catching himI on the jaw and som1
ing him re'elinug backward downi tI

meekly. "Hannah makes suoh a fuss.'
It was to this household that Kennetl
i brought Sally. The girl had fallei
h1 asleep as they drove along. Konnotl
11s placed her on the scat, but Sally profer

d coiled herself up at his feet like a dog.
to When they got home, Kenneth oar

Aunt Hannah dropped the 10 reasoin
and ejaculated, "What?" Mattio star

0- much. With the onlm that precedes
