standing as god-mother to the newly-received little Christian. And
though there had arisen some question as to the name by which she
should be baptised, Miss Leigh held tenaciously to the idea that
she should retain the name her "unknown" father had given her--
"Innocent."

"Suppose he should not be dead," she said, "then if he were to
meet you some day, that name might waken his memory and lead him
to identify you. And I like it--it is pretty and original--quite
Christian, too,--there were several Popes named Innocent."

The girl smiled. She thought of Robin Clifford, and how he had
aired his knowledge to her on the same subject.

"But it is a man's name, isn't it?" she asked.

"Not more so than a woman's, surely!" declared Miss Leigh. "You
can always call yourself 'Ena' for short if you like--but
'Innocent' is the prettier name."

And so "Innocent" it was,--and by the sprinkling of water and the
blessing of the Church the name was finally bestowed and
sanctified. Innocent herself was peacefully glad of her newly-
attained spiritual dignity and called Miss Lavinia her "fairy god-
mother."

"Do you mind?" she asked, coaxingly. "It makes me so happy to feel
that you are one of those kind people in a fairy-tale, bringing
good fortune and blessing. I'm sure you ARE like that!"
