- The pale young man moved a little In his chair, and the girl laid her hand caressingly upon bis blue-veined one. She was seated close to him in fact, Anita was never willing, In these later days to be so far from Ramon that she could not reach out and touch him, as if to assure herself that he was there, that be was safe from . the enemies who had encompassed them both, and that her ministering care might shield him. Doctor Franklin noted the movement, slight as It was, and cleared his throat importantly. "Of course, my dear children," he began. Impressively, "if it Is your earnest desire, I will perform the marriage ceremony for you here in this room at noon tomorrow. But I trust you have both given the matter careful thought not, of course, as to the suitability of your union, but the I may say, the manner of It! A ceremony without a social function, without the customary observances -which, although worldly and filled with " pomp and vanity, nevertheless are befitted by usage, In these mundane days, to those of your station In life, seems slightly unconventional, almost er unseemly." "But we don't care for the pomp and Vanity, and the social observancess.

and all the rest of It, do we, Ramon?" the girl asked. Ramon Hamilton smiled, and his eyes met and held hers. "We only want each other," he said quietly. "But It seems so very precipitate!" the clergyman urged, turning as if for moral support to the impassive figure of Henry Blaine. "So soon after the shadow of tragedy has crossed this threshold! What will people say?" A little vagrant breeze, like a lost, unseasonable butterfly, came in at the open window and stirred the filmy curtain, bearing on its soft breath the odor of narcissus from . the bloomladen window-box. "Oh, Doctor Franklin!" .cried the girl, impulsively. "Don't talk of tragedy just now! Spring is so near, and we love each other so!. If he my dear, dead father can hear, he will understand, and wish it to be so!" "As you will." The minister rose. "I gave you your name, Anita. I consecrated your father's soul to Heaven, and his body to the dust and I will give his daughter in marriage to the man he chose for her protector, whenever it is your will. But. Mr. Blaine, what do you say? You seem to have more Influence over Miss Lawton than I, although I' can scarcely understand

it '" Don't you agree with me that the world will talk?" 'f "I do!" responded Henry Blaine fervently. "And I say let it! It can say of these two children only what I do bless you, both! Sorrow and suffering and tragedy have taken their quota of these young lives now let a little happiness and joy and sunshine and love in : upon the circumspect gloom you would still cast about them! You ministers are steeped in the spiritual misery of the world, the doctors In the physical; but we crime-specialists are forced to drink of it to its dregs, physical, mental, moral, spiritual I And there Is so much in this tainted, sin-

ridden world of ours that is beautiful !

and pure and happy and holy, if we will but give it a chance!" Doctor Franklin coughed, in a severely condemnatory fashion. "Now that I have learned your opinion, in a broad, general way, Mr. Blaine, I can understand your point of view in regard. to that young criminal. Charles Pennold, when at the time of the trial you used your Influence to have him paroled in your custody, instead of "being sent to prison, where he belonged." - . , ''Exactly." Blaine's tone was dry. "I firmly believe that there are many more young boys and men in our pris

ons, who should in reality be to hospitals, or In sheltering, uplifting, sympathetic bands, than there are criminals unpunished. And yon, with your broadly, r professionally " charitable point of view. Doctor," he added with keen enjoyment, "will, I am convinced, be delighted to know that Charley Pennold is doing splendidly. . He will develop In time Into one of my most trusted, capable operatives, I have no doubt He has the Instinct the real nose, for crime, but circumstances from his birth and even before that forced him on the wrong side of the fence. He was, if you will pardon the vernacular, on the outside, looking in. Now he's on the inside, looking out!" "I sincerely trust so!" the minister responded frigidly and turned to the others. "I will leave you now. If it is your irrevocable desire to have the ceremony at noon tomorrow, I will make all the necessary arrangements. In fact I will telephone yon later, when everything Is settled." "Oh, thank you, Dr. Franklin! I knew you wouldn't fall us!" Anita murmured. "Don't forget to tell Mrs. Franklin that she will hear from me. She must surely come, you know!" ' When the door had closed on the minister's broad, retreating back, Ramon Hamilton turned with a suspicion of a flush in his wan cheeks, to the detective. "If I'd gone to any Sunday school he presided over, when I was a kiddle, I'd have been a train-robber now!" he observed darkly. "I'm glad yon lit into him about young Pennold, Mr. Blaine. He started it!" . "But think of the others!" Anita Lawton turned her face for a moment to the spring-like day outside. "Mr. Mallowe dead In his cell from apo

plexy, Mr. Carlia Imprisoned for life. Mao Alarney and an the rest facing; long years behind gray walla and Iron bars oh, I know It Is Just; I remember what they did to my lather and to me; and yet somehow in htis glorious sunshine and with all the ages and ages just as bright spreading be fore me, I can find charity and mercy in my heart for all the world!" "Charity: and mercy," repeated Ramon soberly. "Yes, dearest. But not liberty to continue their crimes to do to others what they did to us!" A spasm of pain crossed hlsvface, and she bent over him solicitously. "Oh, what Is It Ramon? . Speak to me!" ''Nothing, dear, It's all right now. Just a twinge of the old pain." "Those murdering fiends, who mads you suffer so!" she cried, and added with feminine Illogicality: "I'm not sorry, after all, that they're In prison! I'm glad they've got then Just deserts. Oh, Ramon, I've been afraid to distress you by asking yon, but did you tell the truth at the trial all the truth, I mean? Was that really all you remember?" "Yes, dear," he replied a trifle wearily. "When I left Mr. Blaine's office that day, I was hurrying along Dalrymple street, when just outside the Colossus Building, a boy about fifteen that one who Is In the reformatory now collided with me. Then he look-, ed up into my face, and grasped my ( arm.
