SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING INSTALLMENTS. Michael Bates Wister's Boston aunt, Miss Cassandra Winthrop Wister, comes to New York to visit him, and knowing that “she wants to see something at which she can %0 home and shake her head,” he takes her, after the theater, to a night club, the Golden Horn. In the foyer Mike is attracted by a little girl, thin, with delicate featurs and golden hair, who is absorbed in a cheap {llustrated magazine called Love Murders. She tells him her name is Carroll, and as they talk he notes in her 8 very strong resmblance to somebody he has known well but can't recall. As the elub fills up. Jersey O'Grady. proprietor and hostess of the Golden Horn, greets Mike in her boisterous slangy manner as an old friend. Then Mike knows very well whom the child looked like. Miss Cassandra is shocked, frozen into silence, and Jersey, after telling Mike sincerely that he knew best when he advised Malcolm Wetherall not to marry her, leaves them with, “I bet my sbsence will make Aunty's heart grow fonder.” Mike tells his aunt the story of Jersey’ and Malcolm. Wetherall was at Princeton with Mike when Jersey appeared in the chorus of a musical show in New York. He feil madly in love, married her, but after three months left her. When their child—Carroll—was born, he would not acknowledge _ paternity. About midnight, Carroil comes to the Wisters' table and, too sieepy to keep her eyes open, climbs into Mike's lap. INSTALLMENT 1IL ERSEY undressed “the kid” at a little after 4 the following morning. Carroll was drugged from lack of sleep, but two or three of her mother’s confidencés bit through torpor. “‘Mike’s_comin’ to see yuh tomorrow, honey. Beginnin’ early, ain't yuh? Hum? Tired, baby? There we are!” She stripped off Carroll's small silk shirt, speaking; she bragged loudly that Carroll had the very best of just every little thing! “Like Mike? You know, the gent'man who took you on his lap?” ““Yes,” slowly, thickly. “I like him.” The emphasis came from the fact that Carroll did not always like the i:smt'men” her mother wanted her to ke. . “He's class, kid, real class; goin’ to fly high, ain’t yuh? Leave mammy takin' the dust. Well that's the way; you sweat to get your kids everything and they leave yuh to take the dust. But your ole mammy ain’t one to yell.” Carroll's_nightdress went over her head; she lurched, ralsing arms to seek armholes. “All your ole mamy wants is the top | | night. for her kid. Yes, sir! And Mike's the top. And he's all right; he's white, all right, when the Wister ice breaks up. He told me not to marry your daddy, that lousy carp! Stan’ still, can’t yuh?” Carroll endeavored to stand still; her mother was brushing her hair until her head bobbed back, forward, and her | eyebrows were raised by the pull. “There; your ole mammy’s goin’ to see you got good hair, petty, no matter how her feet hurts her. Want a cream puff, hon?” ““Yes,” Carroll answered thickly; so sleepy, sick from it, but at the age of eternal hunger. “Tressa left one in the ice box,” Jer- sey said, moving to the door. Carroll slept during the short mo- ments of her mother’s pilgrimage. When she came back Jersey shook Carroll to ‘wakefulness and Carroll gulped down | the cream puff. “Now say your prayers, hon,” Jersey | ordered. | Carroll sagged to small, thin knees. “Now I lay me,” the only prayer Carrroll knew. hadn't so much as space for breath between hurried words. “Atta girl!” said Jersey, encouraging- | 1y, “keep moving!” | “Gah bless Jersey and Tressa and make Carroll a good girl, amen,” sald Carroll. “Ain'y that all of it?” asked Jersey, Fawning widely. “Gah bless Mike, amen,” said Carroll. Jersey roared. “Hot hell!” she sung out, “that’ll crack a rib for Mike!” But it did not. * K K K ‘When Michael woke the next morn- ing he stretched, blinked and remem- bered, to find that his impulse to Jo good had survived through sleep, and that was something new.

Jersey greeted him hot; she who was once all mixed up that way with Wetherall; boys will be boys.” Michael gave a thought to shotguns, but after all, he decided, it might have been a good sight worse. He sought the Lansingham Arms Apartment building that afternoon at 4 o'clock. The place was exactly the place in which Jersey would live, Michael decided as he quelled a pert, gum-chewing clerk by the tone with | which he made inquiry about Miss | O'Grady’s floor. “Was Miss O'Grady expectin’ you?” Michael heard from the desk clerk.

No one, he was certain, could develop any admirable qualities against this setting of imitation everything, which would have been quite bad enough had it been genuine. . “She’s in, she’ll see yuh; sevunth flaw,” said the desk clerk haughtily. and all his | a voice that | said Michael | THE EVENING He had acted to her, well used to kid- , “like he felt he was the Prince of ly gilt and which had rose-hued brocade walls and bench covers in near silk.

Carroll was waiting at the elevator; she slipped her hand into Michael's and they walk down the hall together. - “This is our e%ogr.’:’snld Car‘x’vu. ‘The loor was opened by Jersey and, opened, it gave Michael yet another shock. not quite, Spanish. Behind her, Michael quite, Spanish. Behind Jersey, who was parked upon a Chinese rug of as- saultingly bold design and hue, Michael saw a grill that divided the small room, a refectory table, Spanish benches, four or five hugh earthenware jars, a loud- toned picture of some monks throwing | dice, and a scarlet cope.

Local politics in a small way had never e o, o B 1 Jersey , “ of this ward and I guess, to be frank, & good many others. I hafta have some dealings with him about the place. It you don’t keep in with the big ones they make you trouble about hours of closing and all that stuff.” “I presume so,” Michael admitted. He laid his hat, stick, gloves on a &maller table by the door and by & vase which held extremely dusty arti- ficial flowers. Then he slipped from his lightweight Spring coat. “Go tell Tressa we're ready for tea,” sald Jersey to Carroll. “Goin’ to have tea for yuh, Mike, knowing you was class and used to it and all.” “That's very good of you,” he said sincerely and he gave her the kindest glance he had given her since entering. The best in him was always found by any genuine kindness, even though it were small. : “Say, take your foot off the gas and squat,” Jersey invited. She dropped, to a langorous stretch on the chaise-longue, and Michael bent slightly, but not greatly, on a stiff chair. “Jersey,” he said, “I want a few con- fidenetial words with you today and perhaps we'd best have them before tea: 50, can you send Carroll off for & little time when she comes back?” He had wanted them before tea, thinking that Jense{}e ight not want to give him tea after he'd spoken. “Why, sure!” she promised, warmly. “Anyway, what's on your chest?” Carroll came hurrying in. “Tressa’s coming pretty soon with tea,” she said. She was excited, her cheeks burned and her eyes were bright. Michael saw that parties were rare to her. “Beat it, Carroll,” said Jersey, “Mike ‘wants to tell mammy a bedtime story.” Her face fell. “For just a little while, Carroll,” said Michael. He drew his watch from its pocket; “you take it,” he said, “and when the hands are here— but can you tell time?™ She nodded ardently. “Yes, I can tell time” she answered somewhat breathlessly, “I can tell time easy, can't zi motyl}er? I can tell time on all “Sure, she can tell time; she ain’t no dummy, Mike,” sald Jersey. “I'm 12,” said Carroll.
