Gall's heart did not falter. It was not the hour—it was indeed not the place into which to introduce a Yale College man whose father owned a chain of flour mills, But hospitality, deep-rooted and instinetive, blotted out all lesser considerations. “You're coming in, Van?” “I can’t tonight.” “Oh, listen—" “No, honest, I can't!

Edith was in the kitchen, Sam at the table eating the large, filling sandwich which, at 19, seems a suitable prelimi- nary to a hearty meal. Ariel, her this- tledown golden mop in some disorder, was drifting listlessly to and fro be- tween dining room and kitchen, setting the table for supper. Phil had not yet come home. They would all tell each other presently that he was delayed at | the jron works; they would all know that he had stopped at the Cass cot- tage to see Lily. “Gail, Van Murchison’s back. got consumption and he's up Chipps' “Yes, I know.

Sam returned to a book that was before him on the table. He's at “ ‘Marius, the Epicurean’—I've seen it a million times,” Gall said, inspecting Edith’s book, her cheek close to her sister's ear. “Is it good?” | “It's—simply—marvelous!” Edith mur- mured.

Lily was ly unafraid of court rooms, officials, legal adjust- ments, officers of the law. She could always manage to scare up & simple white frock somewhere and a broad- brimmed white hat, and appear inno- cently before the adthorities to plead the cause of her three dear little baby boys. Even then she never would say an unkind word of Joe Cass. Lily never sald an unkind word of any one; hers was the most loving heart alive. To Phil she was as pure as the Maid of rusting machinery, springs and foul bedding aired all day. Nibbling goats, mangy dogs and forlorn little babies with sore bare legs and eaked faces, and shrill, vociferous women in dangling aprons, peopled the district; the pzltl.u Gepartment kept a stern eye upon Philip Lawrence stopped at Lily's broken-hinged gate every night. The world knew now that she had got him, @s women !ike Lily do get fine men, and felt. sorry for those lovely sisters of his who were still so entirely in the dark. ‘Without :noney, without even suffi- clent clothing, with this dim old decay- mmmlon on his hands, with Gail, h and Ariel to settle in life, Philip was nevertheless dreaming of Lily—Lily himself established in one of the new Spanish tiled houses up near the Plazita.
