Then she unwrapped the child. It
was about a year old, dimpled and
golden haired. A thumb was in its
rosebud mouth and its blue eyes
looked up trustfully into her own.
“Why, you cherub!” cried the old
maid, a strange turmoil in her heart.
She caught the child to her breast,
and then for the first time noticed
the thick envelope pinned to the
child’s cloak. She put the baby into

CHAPTER 1.
A Call in the Night.
There are few things darker than
a country road at night, particularly
if one does not know the lay of the
land. It is not difficult to traverse
a known path; no matter how dark
it is, one is able to find the way by
the aid of a mental photograph ta-
ken in the daytime. But supposing

two reels of motion picture drama
will be made and the last two chap-

“You couldn’t get me on this pike

It was a quarter after 10. Miss
Susan Farlow had just returned to
the reception room from her nightly
tour of the upper halls to see if all
her charges were in bed, where the
rules of the school confined them
after 9:30. It was at this moment
that she heard the thunderous
knocking at the door. The old maid

the same unhappy state of mind as
a blind man suddenly thrust into a
strange house.
One black night, along a certain
country road, in the heart of New
Jersey, in the days when the only
good roads were city thoroughfares
and country highways were routes
to limbo, a carriage went forward
cautionusly. Trom time to time it
careened like a bluntnose barge in

“That’s the place,” he said. “And
when you drive up, make as little
noise as you can.”
“Yes, sir,” called down the driver.
When the carriage drew up at its
2701 Market St. Galveston, Tex.
“Faster, faster!” came a muffled
voice from the interior.
“Sir, I dare not drive faster,” re-
plied the coachman. “I can’t see
the horses’ heads, sir, let alone the
road. I’ve blown out the lamps, but
I can’t see the road any better for
that.”
“Let the horses have their heads;
they’ll find the way. It can’t be
much farther. You’ll see lights.
The coachman swore in his teeth.

was blowing, and yet the blackness
was so thick that it gave to the
coachman the senation of mild suf-
focation.
By and by, through the trees, he
saw a flicker of light. It might or
might not be the destination. He
cracked his whip recklessly and the
carriage lurched on two wheels. The
man in the carriage balanced him-
self carefully so that the bundle in
his arms should not be unduly lis-
turbed. His arms ached. He stuck

ment. Who could it be at this time
of night? Then the thought came
swiftly that perhaps the parent of
some one of her charges was ill and
this was the summons. Stilling her
fears, she went resolutely to the
door and opened it.
There was no one in sight.
“Who is it?” she called.
No one answered. She cupped her
hand to her ear. She could hear the
clatter of horses dimly.
“Well!” she exclaimed, rather an-
grily, too.
She was in the act of closing the
door when the light from the hall
discovered to her the bundle on the
steps. She stooped and touched it.
“Good heavens, it’s a child!”
She picked the bundle up. A
