Out ot the entrance to High
street a big truck came fluttering;
It bad no lights and Armitage
thought It was being driven too
fast As It plunged towards him
across the clear space ot the Yarn
Market, he was abruptly recalled
to his own Immediate foreground.
On his left was the sea wall;

and began to run awlftly out Into
the Yarn Market, towards the bank.
The bulk of the stationary truck

coming vehicle and It she beard Its

Armitage shot out a long arm and
plucked ber back; she bait tell

up and struck blm smartly on the

with conscious enjoyment -and
then the dark mass ot the second
truck crashed past them.

; In th next second ah had

Armitage, watching fcor, saw that
he made tor the bank. He screwed
up bis eyes and discerned a figure
crumpled upon the steps. The girl

It seemed to blm fitting that ha

A sllgbt bruise was forming on tbe
edge ot his jaw and he wanted to

At tbe same time he bated to em.

Ha was soon near enough to her
to see that the figure she supported
was that ot a man, a cripple, ap

lengthened his stride, but as be

Cane's scarlet roadster slid out of

drew up before the bank. Armitage
could see the gleam ot Leila's eyea

"Here, ease over on to me!" pro
tested Armitage, as he heard the
Barbara girl's breath quicken
under the strain of supporting
Mark; but short ot re-arranglng
the whole grouping, he could not
lighten her burden to any great
extent.
"You've done It," encouraged
Leila from the wheel. "Bit back,
now, Mark, you're all right, I'll
have you home In Ave minutes. . . .
Hop in amongst the Jam-pots In

It's you, darrein. I wasn't sure.

"You've forgotten my crutch,
Barbara," called the cripple and
she ran round with It Armitage
saw her lay her hand on the thin

"Mark, Is the pain bad? Are yon
much hurt?"
"How on earth can I tell? I
may have broken something. Tell
Fort I must have that canvas

he can send."
"I will I promise I will. But
wouldn't It be better It I came
home with you first "
"No, It wouldn't Go to Fort's
at once or he'll be shut."
Leila let the clutch In, nodded
to Armitage and drove off. The
Barbara girl turned fiercely upon
the orange peel that had caused
the accident and kicked It Into the
gutter. ,i
It's monstrous," she said, "that
people should leave it lying about
It might be dangerous to anybody
even to a strong person. Think
what It may mean to Mark!"
Her voice grew softer as she
grow angrier softer and clearer.
She looked up at Armitage in the
half-dark and be saw that her face
held that same quality ot clear,
soft strength.
Her eyes were dark be guessed
them a very dark hatel, but he
could not be sure; they were heav
ily lashed and tbe brows above
them were dark and perhaps a
little heavy for tbe childlike face.
Armitage bad admired many beau
tiful women while be was money
making and women more beautiful
still were ready and willing to
help blm spend what be bad
made.
Tonight, a pearly-pale face with
dark brows and firm, sweet Hps
looked up Into his through the
chill ot dusk; and the beauty of
all other women was wiped out of
his lite, utterly and forever.
He was extraordinarily moved.

"I don't think any sever dam'

ale voice by an effort "When peo
ple are really smashed up, they
can't bear to be touched, you know.
Honestly, you needn't worry.'
She turned away In silence and
began to walk towards the High
Street . Armitage looked after her.
. i . She swung round and came
back.
"I forgot to say that I am sorry
I struck you," she said gravely.
"I made a mistake."
"You didn't hurt me," said Ar
mitage, alBO gravely.
"No," she admitted, "I don't sup
pose I did. But I wanted to."

SANTA
&1 S!Ott!D ARNE,
SYNOPSIS : Santa discovers
that all his train and cart keys
have been stolen by a dwarf In
revenge fox the death of his sis
ter, the witch, who was burned
by Inga and Plnocchto, two dolls.
The dolls set out again to find
the dwarf.
CHAPTER Xin.
ON THE DWARF'S TRAIL.
Inga and Plnocchlo galloped along
at a good rate.
"That dwarf must be very strong
to haul off the keys to the toy trains
and carts." observed Inga.
"That's Just what I was thinking."
said Plnocchlo. "He lent much big
ger than we are but he's very strong.
We'll have to find some sy of trap
ping him."
So they thought very hard as their
little coach rumbled along the wood
land paths. Hours went by and the
crisp cool air of the woods began to
make them hungry.
Suddenly right along the path they
saw a cunning little house, all white
with a bright red chimney.
"What's this?" asked Plnocchlo.
"Looks like we might get some lunch
here."
"Oh, we can get It out of my
basket that Is never empty," said
Inga.
"But It would be so much more
fun to stop here," said Plnocchlo.
So they pulled up their six little
I horses and stopped Gutslde the house.

Plnocchlo rapped on the door but
nobody answered.
Hello, there r he shouted. And
nobody answered. So he stepped In
side and Inga followed. There was
the cunnlngeet little table all set
witu doll dishes, with places for two
and there was a steaming lunch on
the table.
"Ob. let's sit down and eat," asld
Plnocchlo.
All right," said Inga, and ahe
slipped off her pretty white wrap and
sat down.
"M-m-m-m-m," said Plnocchlo, bit
ing Into a little drum-stick.
But lust as they started to drink
the little cups of milk standing
there, they both dropped right off
to sleep. You eee, the li'ceh had
been placed there by the dwarf and
It was bewitched. He was afraid to
have the dolls come to his under
ground home, not that they could do
anything to blm, but he knew that
all the good fairies would help them
If they learned why the dolls were
coming.
- Just as soon as they were asleep
he sneaked out of a cupboard where
he had been hiding, and put chains
on their little feet and hand-cuffs
on' their little hands and carried
them off to his dark, underground
home. He put them In a back room
and pushed a rock In the doorway
and left them.
"Ha, hat" he chuckled, "now they'll
