THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, INSTALLMENT XXX. EN minutes later Emily was hur- rying down the lane. Capt. Whyatt, leaning over his gate, tried to arrest her progress. “Hie,” he said, “Miss Tre- fusis. What's all this I hear about Burnaby?” “Iv’s all true,” said Emily, hurrying on Yes, but look here. Come in—have a glass of wine or a cup of tea. There's plenty of time. No need to hurry. That's the worst of you civilized peo- ple.” “We're awful, I know,” said Emily, and sped on. She burst in on Miss Percehouse with the explasive force of a bomb. “I've come to tell you all about it,” said Emily And straightway she poured the com- plete story. It was punctuated by various ejaculations of “Bless u Yo don’t say s02” “Well, Miss Percehouse. When Emily had finished her narra- tive, Miss Percehouse raised herself on her elbow and wagged a finger por- tentously. vhat did I say?” she demanded. “I told you Burnaby was a jealous man. Friends, indeed! For more than 20 years Travelyan has dona everything a bit better than Burnaby. He skied better and he climbed better and he | shot better and he did cross-word puz- bles better. Burnaby wasn't a big enough man to stand it. Trevelyan was rich and he was poor “It's been going on a long time. I can tell vou it's a difficult thing to go on really liking a man who can do everything just a little better than you can. Burnaby was a narrow-minded small-natured man. He let it get on his nerves.” “I expect your'e right.” said Emily. “well. I had to come and tell you. It seemed_so unfair you should be out of everything. By the way, did you know that your nephew knew my Aunt Jen- nifer?

I'll have done all I can for Jim.” “Then suppose we say—what next?” said Miss Percehouse. “You mean?” “What next? Or if vou want it put elearer: Which of them?” “Oh!” said Emily. “Exactly That's what I want to know. Which of them is to be the un- fortunate man?” Emily laughed. kissed the old lady. “Den't pretend to be an idot.” she said You know perfectly well which el sald Miss “fellow’ he Borrowing Tl speak to “Jim future. “Per- Bending over, she Percehouse chuckled Emily ran lightly out of the house and down to the gate just as Charles came racing up the lane.
