His father, Gar had sald, worked like the devil; he wasa director in almost every concern of any im- portance in Winton; he hated the social raeket. Gar had a sister two years older than he was. Carol was a good sort when she wasn't running after ‘some quegr fad or other. ! “while I'm laying bare the hard facts of my family, Mrs. Frew, I myst tell you that I have a half- brother. Back in his obscure youth Dad married unwisely and David is the hard fruit of that union. I'm not at all hot about him. He .doesn't live at home, prefers a ~mousy apartment where what be does is nchody’s business—not that we are interested in the least.” Kitty had npot been interested then, and now she did not think of David. “What if they didn't adore her that mother and father and sister (of Gar's? The possibility was so frightening that she felt an imper- ative need of Gar’s reassurance. She reached ouf her hand and locked it around his foot where it rested on ghe edge of her chair.

The girl gave the slightest nod toward Kitty. She feigned aston- ishment and hurt, sinking back in her chair with a deep, reproachful, upward look in her eyes for Gar. “Gar, where, when—how?" “Oh, up in Bridgewater—ever hear of the place?
