Sunshine waved them back, and Audrey appeared. she saw Morton she omitted a cry. "Daddy!" "Exactly," he said. Waving toward the corner, lie proceeded: "And here's Joe." Tho girl advanced timidly, as the behind her was shut out. Mortotr moved a chair for hor, and shaking, she sat down.

Her eyes moved from Morton to the young man and back again. "Audrey," said Morton. "I'm going to tell you something. Listen carefully." He stood over her, holding out his forefinger and moving it to emphasize his remarks. "No girl, and no man.

"Finally ho said to come here." Morton had returned to his chair, and was thinking. "Audrey," 'ho at last, "I'm not going to ask you were going to give him money. 1 can guess -what sort threat he made, nut dnn'l ever inlet to fear again if you meet another such situation.

"Thio whelp was really morn afraid of you than you wore of him. he thought he'd take'a chance and lie almost won."
