CHAPTER L
It was f? hot day in August, one of
those reeking days that begin to be bot
early in tho morning and go ou getting
[hotter and hotter till nearly midnight.
In tbo year 1870 Cow court aud ids
unwholesome cluster of neighbors still
clung to the skirts of Uolboru and fes
tered round Ht. Albnn's ohurcb, stretoh
Spjg from Gray's Inn road to Leather
lane. Tho flno shops and warehouses
that now adorn Gray's Iun road then
. only existed in the brain of somo eity
archltoot. Of all those ?Hey? Cow court
?^juried off the palm for squalor, dirt
and general decay. You bad to turn out
of Leather lane to get thero. Tho turn
ing was flankod ou either side by a tav
ern, aud tie ?0 taverns, with their plate
glass and gilding, were tho only things
that were bright and oheurful in this
region. If you explored farther, you
?aw an arobway on tho rigid, inudo by
swooping away tho ground floor of ouo
of the crazy tenements. This was tho
pesteru gute to Cow court. If any one
ever got so. fur as.this and rotaiued bis
watoh and chain, ho always lost them
on approaohing this arch Way.
On this August evening a young man
waa passing through Leather lane in
search of Cow cOurt. Ho was dressed in
the lutest west end fashion, but even
the hideous chimuuy pot hat, pointed
shoos und rigid collar could not disguise
bin comeliness, At n guess ho was threo
aud twenty. Being of a trusting nature,
ho allowed hisgold chain to disport it
self across his waistcoat, and bis jew
eled pin remained in his scarf.
Kenneth Gordon was down from Ox
ford und had been calling oil one of tbo
clergymen at St. Alban's, who had asked
him to take a letter to u dying girl in
Cow court. Ho strode through the dingy
street, sometimes asking his way of ouo
of the residential ladies of Leather lano,
and always winning a civil answer by
the force of his genial smile. When ho
reached Cow court, u pleasant thrill of
excitement, pervaded that locality. Tho
watch and chain bad survived Leather
Jane, nnd now (lashed gayly ill the even
ing light. His pin held its accustomed
placo. His handkerchief gleamed white
against his uout.
Inquiring of n boy, ho learned that
Polly Turner lived at No. 7, and bo was
escorted thero by a crowd of loafers. Tho
girl waa dying. Tbo study room was
crowded with friends, nearly dark aud
unspeakably umcrublo. Keuueth gayo
her the letter, but had to take it buck
and reud it to her. In (ho presence of
that doutbly white face ho felt all usual
forma of speech to bo useless. He held
her band for a minute, tried to say u
fow kind words and then felt that bo
had failed, but tho gentle touch nnd
words wont straight to tho girl's heart,
and thero rested until it ceased to beat.
When Kenneth left No. 7, u child was
lying in a doorway just opposite Dirt,
famine aud ill usago hud effectually ob
soured tho bloom of youth in her. Her
face was so dirty that ho could only kco
two largo eyes flushing from u tanglod
mass of hair. This was .Sally. As sho
never owned u surnamo it is impossiblo
to introduce her more formally. If hor
friends wished to identify her with pre
cision, they called her Tim's Sally.
Tim was her father, aud bis surname
was ulso bidden in obscurity. Sally had
heard that a young swell bad eomo into
Oow court and was waiting to havo a
look at him. On that she reckoned with
out her father, for Tim, coming dowu
tho passngo behind her, enforced paren
tal discipline by a vigorous kick on her
shins. When you havo kicked a body
for ten years, you aequiro precision in
tho art, and Tim planted his kick with
Buoh exactness that the girl fell down
On tho doorstep, and there sho lay, too
listless to ory out. Now nothing is
tamer or moro monotonous than to wasto
good kicks on an irresponsive person.
So Tim was aggrieved, and followed up
his Urse kiek by others, accompanying
thorn with a volley of inspiriting oaths.
Tbo lust kick must have caught Sally in
a sonsitivo place, for she gave a sharp
aoroam of agony.
"What's that?" cried u woman from
au inner room.
"Oh," auid another, "it's only Tim
a-waking up his gell."
As Kenneth left No. 7 he saw this
kick and heard Sally's scream. Ho in
stantly strode ucross tho court. Tim waa
girding himself up for moro kicks. For
tho first timu iu his lifo ho found this
simple pastime of bis interfered with.
Kenneth faced him sternly.
"Leave tho girl alone, you black
guard! How dare you kick a woman?"
Not kick a woman I Cow court was
convulsed. Why, women were kicked
?very day. They expected it, accepted
it ua a law of nature. Tim und tho by
standers paused fur a moment to grasp
tbo full absurdity of tho idea, but only
. for a moment. Then Tim turned on him
, liko a wild beast, tho veins in his great
bull's neck swelling liko cords.
"Who tho-aro you? Can't a man
kick bia own goll? Got ont of this, or
I'll kick you tool" Thon, in moro bra
vado, ho lifted bia foot to give tho girl
another refresher.
"Touoh her at your porill" oried
Kenneth, flushing to tho roots of his
hair. In another moment he heard the
thud of Tim's foot ua it drovo lustily
into the girl, and nt tho selfsame mo
ment Kenneth's fist crashed into Tim's
face, catching him on tho jaw and send
log him reeling backward down the
passago. Thou Cow court perceived that
there was a joyful prospoct of a Homeric
combat. Iu a few momonts a ring was
formed, and old Biddy was whisked
aloft in hor chair in tho arms of t\v
stalwart supporters. Kenucth's bloo
was up. Ho flung his coat and waist
ooat to one bystander and bis bat t.
another. Cow court accepted thorn with
alacrity. Tim divested himself of some
superfluous rags, bared his stalwart
arms and prepared to "smash the swell. "
I5iddy surveyed both combatants with a
critical eye. She know tho points of a
man.
"Illood'll toll," sho said oraoulorly as
?ho saw Kenneth straighten himsolf for
tho fight. He had boxed nt Oxford aud
was iu fair condition, sound in wind?
above nil, temperate and cool. Tho first
round revealed to him that Tim fought
in a very effective but utterly nnsoion
tlflo manner. Ho camo at his enemy
with a furious rush and plantod tcrriflo
chance blow*. br?f. hn 1ef> h'^mnif nn.
t?"t' uw... ana wasted a lot of strength
? ito no pnrposo. Kenneth quietly bided
his timo, parried Tim'a blows nnd lot
him exhaust himself. Tim drow first
blood, boating down Konnoth's pnrry
and landing on his tomple with consid
erable forco. Still Konuoth kopt his
temper, and tho cooler ho wau tho moro
savago grew Tim. Tho ring oheercd him
on, exhorting him to go in and do for
tho swoll.
Kenneth now began to aot on the of
fensive. Letting drivo, he caught Tim
fall on tho month with all tho strength
of his sturdy left hand. His knuckles
cut deeply into Tim'a lips nnd sent him
crushing to tho ground. Biddy rapped
approval with hor crntoh. Sho loved to
see a straight blow woll plautod. Tim
W?h set on his f< it rather gjddy and
dazod. i in was not o pretty sight, liia
lip* wero l>ko raw liver and his faoe
distorted with pawiou. What little
steadiness he had ho then threw to the
wind?, tiud Kouueth's next bloweaogbt
him full in the eyo. After this he suua
moned hia strength for one more furious
onslaught. His blow wan partially par
ried, but landed on Kenneth's shoulder.
In reply Kenneth caught him full in the
forehead, felling him tu the ground uh a
butcher does uu ox. After this Tim did
uot como up to time. He win drugged
off into somo baok rogiou and left Ken
neth undisputed master of tho fluid. Old
Biddy took a pull at her pipe, expecto
rated und aaid k imply:
?'Ah, blood ban told!"
Whon Konneth pulled dowu hia abirt
sleeves and turned to the crowd to de
mund his coat and waistcoat, they wore
not forthcoming. They bad vanished.
Then Kouueth flushed out, called tbem
curs, sneaks und thieves. Cow court be
ing accustomed to lunguago of far grant
or pungency, preserved an unbroken
calm. Then Biddy roso in her wrath,
and, steadying herself on hor crutob,
vowed, with many blood curdling oaths,
thut tho mi 'iiiK garments should be
forthcoming, und thut quickly, cou
| dooming en passunt tho eyes and limbs
of the thieves to infernal torments. Tho
clothes appeared, und it was an ouuo
bling night to see tho old crone stand up
and order him to search bis pockets
while she asked eutcgoricully : "Purse?
Wipe? Cigar case? Watch? Chain?"
etc. Knob had boon honestly replaced.
Kenneth then shook Biddy by tho band
und gave her u sovereign to distributo
among her subjects.
Just then be felt Homotbing at bis
feet. Ho bad almost forgotten the girl
ho had fought for. Sho had orawled to
"Jfoie (fare you hick a woman?"
his feot and kissed them. There was a
pathetic and dogliko fidelity in hor look
and gesture.
"Don't loavo mo here," sho suid.
"Ho'U do for mo worso now than ever
when you're gone."
Konneth paused. It was easier to fight
than to know what to do with tho dam
sel ho bad reBouod, but he acted on im
pulse and threw bis card to Biddy.
"There, mother, is my card. I'll take
tho girl and got a good homo for hor.
That's my address. Coiuo aud see her
when sho has pulled round."
"You havo fought for her and won
her," said Biddy. "I'll hot you'ro hon
est and will do well by hor. So tako
hor."
CHAPTER II.
Kenneth lived in an old fashioned
house in Kensington, fenced from tho
outer world by well grown trees. His
father and mother hud lived there before
him and hud died there. Konneth then
asked bis two aunls to live with him.
Aunt Hannah was tall, bbuy and vigor
ous; Aunt Matty fat and geutlo. Han
nah Cordon was well known in tbophil
anthropie world. Sho was an aotivo
member of tho Charity organization?
in fact, organization was her forte. Her
special season begun about November,
whon tho first touch of winter woku up
tho poor. Then, take up what paper you
like, and ton to ouu that in some corner
of it you would find Aunt Hannah en
lightening tho world as to what they
should do or not do. Exeter hall knew
her uot, nor did she subscribe to African
missions or soup kitchens. What she
gloried in wore boards?school boards,
poor boards, paroobial boards?all kinds
of boards. Nothing she enjoyed more
than ferreting out abuses and getting
thorn remedied. Her abomination was
promiscuous charity. It was beautiful
to put her on tho truck of somo philan
thropic impostor and observo with what
holy zeal sho would hunt him down to
iho death, It was sho that opened peo
ple's eyes to the iniquities of that arch
impostor, tho archdeacon of Saratoga.
Before that bo was tho darling of west
end drawing rooms. When sho took
him in hand, ho exchanged Bolgraviu
boudoirs for Holloway jail and wasted
muoh persuasive peuitouco.on tho chap
lain. How man)- sham mendicants did
sho not expose, pouncing upon them in
tho highways and byways and giving
them in charge With joyful alacrity I It
was Aunt Ilannnh who plunged into a
crowd in Picoadilly when a poor man,
soized with an epileptic fit, was sur
rounded by u ring of sympathetic by
standers. Elbowing her way through
them, sho speedily seized him by the
collar.
"Epileptic fit, is it? I'll soon euro
youl"
"Loavo tho poor nnin alouel" cried a
tonder hearted bystander. "Don't yon
see bo's foaming at tho mouth?"
"Soap!" cried Hannah contemptu
ously, and, lo and behold, (he maUgdid
como out of his very artistic fit, spat
out u lump of soap and said:
"Lot mo go, can't yer? Ye'ro either
tho dovil or old Hanuah!"
"You'ro right!" she sriid triumph
antly. "I am old Hannah, and, what's
moro, if over I catch you having a fit
again I'll run yon ill, "
Aunt Mattio was the very reverse or
this. Aunt Hannah always alluded to
her in her milder moments as "poor,
doar Mattio," and in her moro vigorous
ones as "that fool, Matilda." Matilda
had never been on a board in her lifo,
but if you looked down tho subscription
list ef any missionary society you won hi
bo sure to find her modest initials.
"I never put my full name," sho said
meokly. "Hannah makes such a fuss."
It was to this h0U8ell0l(1 that Kerne Mi
brought Sally. Tho girl had fallen
asleep as thoy drovo along. Kenneth
placed her on the seat, but Sally prefer
red lying on tho floor of tho cab and
colled herself up at bis feot liko a dog.
When they got homo, Kenneth oar
ricd tho tired girl in, and, seeing Hint
sho was not fit for tho drawing room,
placed her on the mat in tho hall, whoro
sho lay?a little heap of rugs, dirt and
tousled hair. As ho entered tho draw
ing room bo board Aunt Hannah read
ing in her very emphatic Voice tiio sum
mary of a papor sho intended to deliver
at a charity organization conference
next day. It was entitled "Sixteen Roa
sons Against tho Present Systom of Ont
door Parochial Relief." Sho had got as
far as tho tenth. Konneth's entrance
was hailed with joy by the long auffer
ing Mattie.
"Oh, hero you arol" sho cried. "Ton
o'clock, and yon wore to bo hero by 5."
"I'vo brought homo a girl. "
Aunt Hannah dropped tho 10 roasons
and ojneuhitod, "What?" Mattio start
ed. Those five words might moan so
muoh. With the calm that precedes a
storm Aunt Hannah took off Her glaums,
rubbed them slowly and waited, but
further explanation was interrupted by
a scream from Aunt Mattie:
"Why, Kenneth, you'vo got a great
out on your.temple, and there is blood
on your collar!"
"It's nothing. I've had a fight A
brute was kicking a girl, and I licked
him and brought tho girl home. She's
only a child."
Aunt Hannah pot her glasses into
their case with a snap and recovered
her voice. "Brought ber home! Is this
house a casual ward or night refngef
Why, heaven bless us, the boy's gone
stark, staring mad!"
Mattie bad forgotten the girl and was
giving hor mind to sticking plaster.
, "I've left her on tho mat outside,"
Odded Kenneth apologetically. "She
isn't as oloan as she might be." Han
nab strode to tbe door. The hall was
pretty with fresh flowers, ferns and
bright tilos. Its prettineas emphasised
tbe incongruity of Sally's appearance.
She was lying where Kenneth bad left
her. Her one shoo was tied on with a bit
of string; her frock was ragged, but the
rents did not show, for her skiu was as
black as her frock. One frightfully bony
arm foil across her knee, and the other
hid her face.
Mattie peeped from behind Hannah.
Hannah said authoritatively:
"Got up and bo off with you!" 8?lly
immediately gavo veut to such a torrent
of had language that the two ladies
rushed away and shut thoinsolvei in tbe
drawing room. Mattlo bogan to cry, but
Hannah seated herself rigidly in her
armchair.
"This is too much, Kenneth I"
"It's getting awfully late, " said Ken
neth. "Suppose wo don't talk of this
till tomorrow. I'll got Bridget to wash
Sally and make bor up a bed some
wrtore."
"Keep that thing in tho bouse and be
murdered in our beds and havo the houso
ravisnokod from top to bottom?"
"You can't turn ber into tho street at
10 o'clook at night. Bridget can surely
give Sally somo suppor aud a blanket,
and wo will lock her iu the baok
kitchen."
Tho aunts protested, but yielded.
Sally followed Kouuetb down stairs like
a lamb, but fresh difficulties arose with
Bridget. They increased when Sally an
nounced tbnt she would toar anybody
limb from limb who touched her. But
wbeu Kenneth said that he wished ber
to he clean aud neat tho child changed,
aud she informed Bridget that "sbo
might boll ber alive if the boss wished
it done."
CHAPTER III.
Next morning Kenneth surveyed the
positiou. Of course ho could send Sally
to a workhonso school or to nrefugo, but
bo did not want to let the girl ho bad
won by bis how and spear drift away
from him.
His old uurso was now living on a
pension, and ho resolved to send Sally
to hor. This seemed easy while ho was
dressing, but much less easy when ho
saw bis aunts. Mnttio was nervous,
Hannah full of repressed vigor.
"It's a comfort that we still havo
spoons to stir our ten with," said tho
latter.
"I have been thinking ahout Sally,"
bo bognu. "I am suro, Aunt Hannah,
you will help mo." Ha was interrupted
by a sound of crashing chiua?a scuffle
accompanied by pioroing shrieks and tho
sound of hurrying feet. Aunt Hannah
made ? dash at the bell, exclaiming,
"Has tho dovil broken looso?" The
door was flung open and tho servants
dragged in Sally. She resisted violently,
kiokiug, plunging and swearing liko a
trooper. Bridget bognu ! "And I do say,
?ir, it's too bad to go and bring home
snch scum and expect decent people to
sit with her. She's half killed James."
"Ypb, " cried the housemaid, "she up
with a plato and broke it over his head,
aud he's a mass of gore in tho kitchen
this minut"."
"Come hero, Sally!" cried Keuneth
sternly. They released her, and she
stood before him with flashing eyes and
cheeks, flushed with l ho glow of combat.
An old dress of the rook's had boon pin
ned round her. It was half torn off now.
Her matted hair had hern combed out
and rolled up. It lay on her shoulders
now in a shaggy mass, and, as Aunt
Hannah said, sim looked a little demon.
But when Kenneth look her iu hand and
Spoke kindly tho flash in her eyes turn
ed to tears.
"Solly, what havo you been doing?
How daro you attack James?"
"What call 'ad ho to lay 'ands on your
boot*?"
'?'What on earth does she mean?"
"Why, sir, after breakfast James be
gan to clean your boots as usual, and
she flow nt him llko a tiger, toro them
out of hin hands, broke a plato over his
head aud swore she'd kill him. And as
for hor languago"?
"If ho touches them ngain, I'll cut
his liver out," interrupted Sally.
"Now, look horo, girll" Aunt Han
nah hegan.
"Ouo moment, aunt." said Kenneth.
Tliejservants dragged in Sally.
(urniug buTiy's tear sialncd taco to trio
light. At his touch tho hunted, wild
beast look passed from her eyes. Then
bo said: "Now, Snlly, listen. I want
yon to forgot your savago ways and ho
a good child. If you use bad laugnage
and frighten and hurt pepplo, you must
go baok to Cow court, and I shall he
?orry I tried to savo you from yonr fa
ther. I know it will ho hard for you at
first, but all good things tiro hard. You
must tell James you are sorry yon hurt
him, and I'll promise that every day
you are good you shall clean my hoots
yourself."
"Blessed if I won't hy, and I'll go
this moment and ax his blooming par
don." And, so paying. Sully picket! up
her trailing garments and rushed out of
tho room.
"A perfect little savage," said Han
nah. "Two years at n reformatory
might do good, but I d inbt it."
"I thought I saw tours in her eyes,"
said Mattie.
"And what handsomo eyes!" raid
Kenneth.
"Now, jnnt nnswer mo thin," said
Hannah. "What on earth made you
bring this vagrant here? Yon plungo
into some filthy court, got your head out
opnn and havo this creatnro flnng on
3-our h.mds. if it is sentimental rnhbish,
you aro a bigger fool than I thought
you. If you flatter yourself it's philan
thropy, yon havo begun at tho wrong
end."
"It in a littlo of both. You do your
philanthropy iu a noiontiflo, wholosalo
way. Ism beginning mine with a small
ratuil iiamplo. And it is sentiment, too,
fur I ferd rather like a knight who baa
rescued a maiden and is forbidden by
the law? of chivalry to abandon her."
"Thru, by the laws of the round ta
ble, the knight is bound to wed the
maiden, and?I wish yon joy of your
bargain."
"Well, aunt, let Sally have a month
nndor your supervision, and then we
will hold another meeting npon her."
The annta at last reluctantly agreed to
give her a trial.

WHAT is THK ZOIMAC?
President Carlisle, of WofTorcl Col
lege, Explains the Matter.
A correspondent of The Spartan
at-ked tho following questions, which
have boon ans wot ed by Dr. J. U.
Carlisle, presidentof Wofford College :
Is tborc any such thing as the zodiac?
Docs it affect the human body ?
There is certainly a bolt of tho sky
called tho zodiac. The sun, moon and
the large planets aro always In that
narrow strip of the sky. Thoy nevor
wander outside of it. This bolt is six
teen degrees wido. Cut from The
Spartan one column and bold it ton
inches from your eyo. It will then
cover a strip of tho sky as wide as tho
zodiac. This bolt has iu it clusters of
stars named aftor animals, men and
women?twelve to all?such as Ram,
Bull, Goat, Virgin, otc. The word
"zodiac" means animal j, or living
things, and is so ended because of these
eonsttUations with names of living
things. These names were given thou
tat.ds of years ago, and aro well known
in all parts of the world. A fow even
ings ago. soon after sunset, ono large
planet, Venus, was seen In the West ;
another, Jupiter, in the East, and the
moon between. The zodiac ran along
the sky so as to take in the moon and
planete.
Dura the zodiac affect the human
body ?
This question touches another ques
tion that has long boen debated. Has
tho moon any influence over the wea
ther, or tho bodies of men? Many
have thought that it does. They have,
supposed that when t ie moon is in one
cluster of etars in the zodiac, it has
some strange power over the head, so
I that a wound in the bead of man or an
I lioal will not hoal rapidly. In anoth

er cluster the lungs may be affected by
the moon.
?borne almanacs still have a plot ire
of the human body with lines reach
ing from head, lunge, feet, etc, to the
constellation which Is supposed to
have innueoco over that part of the
body.
The best authorities now pay but
little attention to this belloi. One of the
greatest living Ameriean astronomers,
Prof. C. A. Young, of Princeton Uni
versity, says : "The multitude of cur
rent beliefs as to the controlling Influ
ence of the moon's phases and changes
over the weather, and tbo various con
ditions of life are mostly unfounded,
and In the strict sense of the word,
'superstitious'?tuero survivors from a
past credulity."
Perhaps some practical roadnr of
The Spartan may bavo something to
ay on the other side of this old qucs
