TURNING A NEW LEAF
A maa iu a ragged overcoat and
ilouched hat, which aretty well con-
scaled his features, was pacing the nar

seemed te clothe him from head t.)

Half maddened by his thought.
Bruce Proctor walked away from tin?
placv. But his former home was a
magnet. After the streets were quiet
lie was drawn to haunt the spot again.
Bruce ventured round at last to the
ilde door, aad sat down ou the step,
ro l even thus near to them wis
ome comfort.
Five loa years since he had heid

remembered her haby fingers crawling
ver his face, and her cooing laugh.
She had tine been taught that her
papa ws dead, and already a grr.it
wall of & pa ration was built up b
tjxHt thi.
There wfs nothing to hope for from
the mother. From the moment of his
irret as a defaulter they had been es
rtranccrs. No message had cene to
him from her during his term of 1m
Drisenmeat. which had been shortened
by extoccatlng drcmnstanco.
He had hoped against hope that
when his term had expired she would
end this word: "Come home, and let
bygones be bygone." Surely her love
would at last prove stronger than br
pride. i
But it had not, and his love had so
far mastered his pride that here he
was creeping ronnd Ms own home like
l thief in the night, because those denr
to him were within.
A startling thought came to him, and
he felt with tremblng fingers In his
xwrket. lie had a key to this side d.or!
