Three days before a letter had come, signed, Agnes Drum. Jean had been impressed more by what it did not contain that by what it did. She said to her hus- band: “We are sending more and moro money to Aunt Sate, and I} wonder if she’s getting all of the good of it.

Mrs. Rock went in ‘\\'Hh Jean boldly, as if she had the right. “You'll likely want a bite of sup- per,” she said, “before you see your aunt. I'll go up and stay with her t1ll you're ready to come.” Jean saw a look of he‘lpless exas- eration pass over Mrs. Drum Bt she said nothing, merely led the way to the dining room. Jean ate heartily. She had been two days on the train and she was hungry. After she had eaten she went upstairs to her aunt’s room. She found that Mrs. Rock had laid aside her coat and hat and rub- bing the sick woman’s arms with a massage brush. “Auntie, dear, I've come to see you,” Jean said, bending over her. Aunt Sate opened her eyes. Her expression was cold. “It was not necessary. 1 am sure 1 am doing well enough as I am. Mrs. Rock looks after me as well as I wish,” she said. Jean drew hurt. “If 1 had wanted you I should back, surprised and declared herself against the woman who was unmistakably taking the money her husband sent Sate’s support.

She turned them now in a flashlight glance of interrogation upon Mrs. Rock and surprised a look of triumph and malicious satisfaction that roused in her instant suspicion. “Mrs. Drum had no authority from me to send for you,” Aunt Sate con- tinued. “I am going to get through with that woman just as soon as I can find some one to take her place.” “Don't get excited,”” murmured Mrs. Rock, plying the massage brush thingly. She turned to Jean. “May- bé you better go now. If she gets stirred up she won'’t sleep all night.” Jean slept soundly that night, for she was of a vigorous habit and she was tired.
