SMother-in-Love; -——By Margaret Barnes Continued from Fourteenth Page She would retreat. dignity. field. She’d have to get used to the idea, alone. There was nothing she could do about it, The situation had slipped from her control; had never really been there. She had known that the moment Patty had entered the room—the moment she had heard that fatal “Dicky bird.” “I have some notes to write, Dick,” she said evenly, “and I'm dining early. If you’ll excuse me I'll—leave you and Patty.” “I'll take good care of her,” he said, with grateful humility. “Patty takes very good care of herself,” said Narcissa proudly. She wished she could believe her own words. Without another glance for the child on the love seat, she walked with composure to the door. Alone in her bed room, Narcissa sat quietly down on her sofa to face the future. She still felt, absurdly, that it couldn’t be going to happen. That life wasn’t going to ask this of her. To see Patty—Patty—in Dick’s arms. Life couldn’t be so cruel. She had known disillusion. She had known despair. But this was complete devastation. In her drawing room, downstairs, Patty might now be in Dick's arms, listening to the vows of eternal devotion that fell—oh, Nar- cissa knew how glibly—from his eager 1lips. She had been a coward. She had thought only of herself. And of Dick. Not at all, really, of Patty. She should have protected Patty, Saved her from those false protestations. But would they be false—when addressed to her daughter? How could she tell? Dick certe Iy had de- ceived her. But would he deceive ‘atty? One had only one’s self to blame for failure. It wasn't fair, it really wasn’t fair, to hold it all up against Dick. A step on the stair arrested her attention. Why, it couldn't be Patty! It wasn't 20 minutes since she had left them together. Had he unexpectedly succumbed to belated scruple? Touched by her abdication, made a generous gesture? Put off, at least until to- morrow, what might easily have been done today? “Patty?” she called tremulously. And again, “Patty!"” The child stood in the doorway, cool, un- concerned, perhaps a trifle annoyed. “What is it, mother?"” “Has Dick gone?” “Yes.” Retreat, once more, with She would leave her daughter the 48 On.

There was a moment’'s pause. “Why did he g0 so soon?” “He wanted to,” said Patty briefly, a hint of defiance in her voice. “Patty—what did you say to him?” The child made a pettish little gesture of {rritation. “Oh, really, mother—do you know what he came to say to me?” “Yes, Patty.” “Well, you needn't trouble to argue about it, mother,” said Patty combatively, “It won’s do a bit of good. I've made up my mind.” “You've made up your mind?” Narcissa could hardly pronounce the words. “yes, and I know everyining you're going to say before you say it. I know you think he’s charming. I know he has millions. I've had an earful of his tragic life. But I just don’t think he's attractive. That settles it for me.” Narcissa rose unsteadily from her sofa. “You ,..don't .., think...hes,... attractive?” Her stiff lips with difficulty framed the words. “Mother! Have a heart! I know he's a dowager’s delight, but I just don’t like him. He thinks he’s such a sheik.” “Patty!” cried Narcissa in horrified protest. Really, at such blasphemy her hands flew to her ears. “He does. Mother. He’s been hanging around young people’s parties all Winter. But he’s 18 years older than I am——just an old man—for all his winning ways.’ A wave of pity flooded Narcissa's heart. Patty never looked lovelier than she did at that moment, standing flushed and defiant on the threshold. Narcissa moved quickly to take the child in her arms. She kissed the cool pink cheeks. Then suddenly Narcissa began to cry. “Mother!” cried Patty incredulously. the matter?” “I'm so sorry for him, Patty,” she heard her- self incredibly saying. “So dreadfully sorry.” “He's sorry for himself,” remarked Patty cooly. “He thought he was irresistible. Well —he's learned that I can resist him.” Narcissa turned, sobbing, and sank upom her sofa. “Youth's . . . terribly Narcissa weakly. Patty advanced to the sofa side and re- garded her mother with mute amazement, Narcissa’s tears broke into hysterical laughter. “But you don’t have to marry him, darling— to please me!” “What's cruel,” said Deterioration in Coking Coal. NE would naturally believe coal could be leM lying around until wanted without any loss from exposure to the weather. This, however, is not the case, for coking types of coal lose much of their coking qualities through this exposure. Coals particularly high in oxygen absorb oxygen rapidly, and in thus doing lose the qualities which make them valuable for coke production.
