[By Special Arrangement—Copyright] THE DANCING DOLL, I By EDITH S. DREWRY. Author of On Dangerous Ground," Only am Actress," Ac., Ao. Quite a little knot of people had by I degrees gathered on the pavement to vratch I the child, for a man was playing a piaJio- organ in one of the west central squares, and she was dancing to it, evidently with intense enjoyment-only a poor, little home- less city Arab, ragged, ill-fed, unkempt, but such a pretty little creature, and every move- ment as lithe and graceful as a kitten, keep- ing not only perfect time to the music, but perfect rhythm, and as light as a feather. "Why. the brat's a born dancer," remarked a man who had. "paused some pacea off near a dashy West-end looking hansom cab, whose driver had pulled up his rather restive and objecting horse to watch the child. lie was a young, good-looking young fellow, and quite a swell sort of cabby." Yes," he answered the man, and it was a. pleasant, eoft-toned voice, so she is, but look at the steps and movements; thera's a bit of stage dancing there, and no mistake— some teaching. I'll bet she's been in last Christmas panto." Likely enough," returned the other. Perhaps the organ-grinder gives her a copper to dance, seeing as how it draws an audience and pence for hisself. Maybe. There, he's moving off, and the bra.t too, so I'll travel. Good day." The little crowd had melted away, and the cabman turned couth, down a very quiet street running into the next squire, holding his horse, still fresh and restively inclined, well into a walking pace, whilst he—the driver—kept his bright eye on the alert for a. fare. At present, however, the street was almost deserted, gave for one or two ladies wh-o passed him near the top and the little Arab he had been watching, but at the moment she muei have passed by on the pavement he was looking towards the other side, scanning the windows, so that the first he noticed was the child ahead of him. By Jove! I'll just ask the brat about the panto, sxid the young fellow to himself; and his horse, perhaps feeling the reins slightly blackened, made a sort of start forwards to quicken his pacc. "-No, you don't, Charlie, boy!" apostrophised his master, giving the reins a sharp pull up. ■'Ha! Good God!" for suddenly the left-hand ribbon snapped asunder, doubtless at some flaw, about two feet from .the bit, and the horse, feeling the restraint gone, instantly started forward for a bolt. A hansom cab driver's perch is at its bart an unsafe seaX, and without the controlling reins he is. of all drivers, perhaps, the most helplessly at the mercy of his horse if it bolts. No one was in the quiet street just then but that one girl-child, a few paces ahead, and the man saw at onoe that he had to face in the next few seconds a frightful crash, and, perhaps, a sudden, terrible death. But almost at the moment the horse sprang forward, swaying the cab, even then the little Arab, daring, obvious of her own danger, had darted into the road, caught the dangling bit of rein in both hands, and hung on to it with desperate tenacity. Charlie's career was instantly arrested by the weight at his head, dragging it down, and which even his angry attempt to rear could not dislodge. He had not much chance for a battle royal certainly, for in the moment his bolt was so daringly arrested, the driver, tall, slight, and active, had swung from his perilous perch, and seized the struggling horse's head with a powerful grasp. that quickly forced Charlie to recognise a master, and stand still trembling and cowed, as if a trifle ashamed of his escapade—ae well he might be. The child had loosed her hold directly the driver seized the off-rein, and now, still. hold- ing it fast, the young fellow turned to her. You plucky little thing," he said, huskily. "The brute might have knocked you down, and kiUed you. Are you hurt?" Lor", no sir. thank ye. Only pulled my daddies and arms a bit; but you'd ha.' been smashed dead as dead if he'd bolted on," said the child, with a shiver. I see he wor restive like when I was a-dancing." You've saved my life, little 'un, and no mistake." said the man. I never did see such a plucky little girl, and—stop a minute till I mend the ribbons. Catch hold of this. That's it," as the child obeyed, observing, I often 'oJds hoasea for people." A few passers-by had paused curiously and gazed, but seeing no signs of injury had gone on. The driver meanwhile knotted the broken rein. a-nd lashed it over strongly with string, so that he could safely trust the reins till he could get the job properly done. "Äh." he aaid, still busy; "and you've been in the panto, too, ain t you? You was dancing so pretty," Oh; I loves dancing, Cracky! Don't I jUBt!" exclaimed the child enthusiastically, her great dark eyes sparkling. Yas, I wor in the panto, last Chris m's." I was most sare of that, kidabby, when I see you. How old a.re you., eh—eight, ten?" I dunno, sir, 'bout tha.t there, I e'poee," said she, with a pretty smile that showed a glint of white teeth. "Is them reins done, then? For now the driver replaced string and knife in his pocket and was searching there for something else. Yes, I've done, and you oan let go Charlie's head. I've got the ribbons. Come round to me—here's—no, bother, that's not the one I wanted-a.. Tommy Dodd,' too, it is," quickly replacing the smooth old sixpence by a larger coin "bright and new. There's a new bob, little 'un." "Oh, sir, thank you! You is kind!" ex- claimed the waif, gazing iif wondering delight at the coin in her pretty, dirty hand-the largest coin probably she had ever yet pos- sessed. "I never did 'IlOW-a. new bob! Oh. my eye:" Cabby laughed, patted the curly, unkempt head of chestnut locks, and asked what she would do with it. Git some nioe tommy," said the email Arzi.b promptly; "a pork pie and jam tart, p'raps. Not a harp.tb o' fly bvlater to-day." Duff for to-morrow then, eh? Good-bye, then, you pretty little Dancing Doll." With a light smile and nod he mounted to his aea.t and drove off. Looking back at the end of the street, he saw the child dancing along round the comer. Poor mite!" he said half aloud. ".And so pretty and intelligent. Well, there's some- thing to tell mother of to-night; there'd have been a dinger for you but for that brat's pluck, you bet, Frank Manners." This was about two o'clock, and the child, being doubtless hungry, made her way to a third-rate shop-etreet not far off, and bought a penny loaf and a pennyworth of cheese (a.n extravagant dinner!), thus expending her only copper. The food she soon consumed, sitting under the archway into a mews. Perhaps she wished to enjoy thegTare seosa of possession of riches for a few hours longer by reserving her feast for 6upper, for it was dark before the little Dancing Doll betook herself, being then in the Strand, to a side street wherein was a. certain cookshop, into the window of which she had often hopelessly gaaed, being & cu? ahoFe du!F pudd-n" or current variety of By botster.- It required moce ,.iD tbe march int<? —T? rattling good shop than to dash at and hanc on to the nose of a plunging horse; but at length she did push open the door. Iiulloa! what's for you?" said the man behind the counter, feti^piciously, as the street Arah boldly advajioed, clutching her wealth. Please, sir. I wacte one o' them pork pies and a jam tart." "Where's your money?" said the man, gruffly, not at all liking such a customer; but he came round the counter ready t8 reach the dainties indicated from the wio- tlov. Let's see if you ve got enough, child!" Mr. Martin was a hard, gruff sort, of maa, but he had, doubtless, canse for suspicion. "Them street brats," he v.-ould say, truly enough. are the veriest ina-s for prigging and tricks—the gals is the worsest." Right again, he had suffered from the street Arab tribe more than once. and this one was not going to sna-tch the pies and run off; no. pay first. The Dancing Doll held out the new bob with a superb air that was inimitably comio. There, sir, an'd cinep'noe change out, please, sir." 6aid she, gTandly, her big brown eyes looking up proud and straight to hia lace. He took the shilling with a surprised I "Whew!" looked at it, and rang it on the counter twice. "y young limb!" he said, roughly turn- ing on the child, whose thin, hollow cheek had gone white as death. "It's just a flash coin, and you're one of a reglar g-ang, you little thief. Here. George!—George, I say-" I ain't a thief!" cried the child in sudden wild terror and indignation. I ain't a gang. A cabby give me the bob-he did." Shut up you! I won't be done again ia one week. I'll make a example this 'ere time. Go for a :pliceman. George. Slick's the word." "o. n0. no' Oh. don't fetch the copper," sobbed the poor little creature, flinging out her hands frantically. I ain't a thief- 1&0 iior give me. Daed it wor." .^hut up them lies, will yer? Cabbies ain't quite so rich as to chuck shillings at the like of you. Here they are." The city Arab shrank back instinctively at the sight of her natural enemy, the "copper." who, tall and stolid, now heard Martin's statements, and examined the coin, which the man had broken in half. "It's flash, and no mistake," taid the con- &tabte. Theres a gang of smashers now wanted as has lately circulated a pile of swellish coins. What 'ave you got to say, young 'un? Where did you get this bob?" The child's sobs had ceased, and &he stood awaiting her fate, fiercely sullen. A hansom cabby give it me, for stoppin' of his horse bolt-in' she said, shortly. Bobby looked down with sardonic amuse- ment on the slight childish figure. -yoa,Cc big 'un. ain't you, to Flop a boltin horse?" said he. drily. "And Jehu—richer than me. You'll have to come along o' me to the station, anyhow, and you, too, Mr. llartin, if you gives her in charge." Poor Dancing The grateful fellow who so dubbed her had little guessed the trouble his service would bring on its recipient, or that that night she sobbed her- self to sicll!p on the hard pallet in a police cell. So the next morning poor little Margaret, the pretty "Dancing Doll," was brought up at Bow-street and duly charged. She told her story simply, and the magistrate finally remanded her for a week; but to the work- house, begging the press to mention the case, so that the alleged cabman might perhaps see it and come forward. When the Dancing Doll was once more pla.ced in the dock. Martin, the prosecutor. quite stared—so transformed was the child by cleanliness, decent, if rough, dress, and wholesome food for a week. She looked prettier than ever, and smiled brightly, too, as she dropped a curtsey grace- fully to the magistrate. "Well, little girl, and have you been a good child this week—eh. policeman? What is the report ?" "Very docile, your worship. The matron gives her a very good character; bgt haven't yet found the cabdriver she says gave There he was interrupted by a slam at the door, and a sudden, passionate cry of joy, from Margaret. "That's him!—that's him as give me the bob!" and stretched both hands eagerly towards the superior, good-looking young fellow who made his way in, followed by an elderly woman. "Tes. it's me," he said aloud, nodding to her; then instantly addressed Sir William, respectfully doffing his felt hat. "Please, your worship, I've come to Gpeak, for the child, if you'll allow me." "Certainly, my man. Step into the witness- box." Every eye followed the tall. alert figure aa Frank Manners obeyed, his colour coming for a minute under such fire of eyes; but he kept his own bright, honest eyes on the magistrate as he spoke: "I only read the report of this to-day, sir. I don't usually see much of the daily papers- only Sundays: and I often don't read the police news at once-so I only read it this morning. I'd have been here, sir, by ten. only I had a longish fare, and couldn't." "You are quite in time. Is the prisoner. story true?" "Every word, sir," said Frank. emphatically, and there was a subdued little burst of applause in court: "it was the pluckiest thing I ever see. Me and the cab would have been smashed if she hadn't caught and hung on to the horse. I'd brought a fare from Park-lane to the Midland, and I think that shilling, sir, was part of his fare, but I ain't sure. I give you my word, I hadn't an idea it was flash, or I'd never have passed it- least of all to this poor mite. She's as innecent as a baby of the charge, and I can't say how sorry I am that I've got her into this." "You are in no fault at all, and I am very glad to at once discharge the prisoner. I only regret that I ran only do that, there being no immediate way-" "Please sir, pardon me interrupting you." said Mannere, eagerly, "but we—my mother and me—will take charge of the child if she'll come along. It's ail I can do for her." If!— the child's face was answer enough. "Do you live with your mother, or are yom married?" asked Sir William. "I'm not, sir. I support my mother, but I can keep the little one too, and my mother will treat her like 'her own: she's in court, sir." "My good fellow, I don't doubt you. and I am very glad," smiling, "your little 'Danc- ing Doll' has found such good friends. I hope she will prove grateful." There was an irrepressible birrst of applause as Margaret was quickly handed over to her new friend, to ride in a hansom cab for the' first time in her life, to a humble but good home-for the first time also. "And you shall be a real dancer, too, if you like, dear," eaid Frank Manners that evening. Ten years liter the prettiest danoer at the Theatre was Mademoiselle Marguerite, the second danseuse, and as good a girl as she was pretty and graceful. From child to girl either Yros. Manners or Frank have fetched her from wherever she danced. By this time between their joint savings Frank is quite a cab proprietor in a moderate way; but he is still single, and even unengaged— till one Sunday evening, when after church, he and pretty Margaret are waiting supper in the parlour for the dear "mother, who is on the doorstep chatting to a neighbour. "Isn't it just cosy as copy here. Frank?" says Margaret, smiling up in his bronzed fao&& sweet, half-shy smile, too. "Very dear, but it still wflats one thing," answered Frank, softly: "or rather-I do." "Do you? Why, what?" "Why. to make my 'Dancing Doll' my wtf.- Oh, Frank t'he will then, sweetheart?" "All, yes." She lifts her face for his kiss, ap he whispers tenderly: "I have loved you for years, you know, Margaret. THE END.
