Bowers ciearea his throat and said: “I Deg your pardon.” With @ most snobbish imitation of an Bogitsh gentiewoman's way o1 ‘Speaking, and transferring ber gaze from the boot to the intruders, Rig Gertha murmured tne one y ord: “Granted.” Then she laid her book. open an. face down, on th; érunk beside and picked up a handy sheaf of highly varnished photo graphs. “Vou will ardiy wish to sacw up &t ome,” she said, “without one of these.” OWERS took the photog aphs tn bie bands and looked througd While he was thus engage. Big Bertha perceived that the chaut feur stood rooted end gazed upon her with awe and rapture. She dropped bim a wink, accompanied by faint twisting of her gigantic torso. This incipient romance was inter. by Bowers, who had beep feading the fine print at the bottom Of the photographs. “Did you really weigh tweuty-nine pownds at birt?” ne asked, and ‘0 bis woice there wa: a kind of borri fed admiraticn. “Tweaty-nine pounds to an ounce,” aald Bertha, “and the mater only & little sprite of a woman.

It was all that Bowers could do not to guffaw in her face.

It was a cold, hard voice to which words seemed to come easily. It was a kind of voice oftep associated with persons who, because of economic pressure, have no time for the in essential, It was a voice of author ity, and it was laying down the law. lt was finding fault and reproving, but it was not an angry voice. Indeed it seemed to find a kind of humor in its own utterances. But the voice must tave been addressing It- self to a very meek and humble au- dience, for there was never once the | sound of an answer or a word Of re | monstrance in some other voice. He gathered presently inat the voice was the voice of an ezas perated wother, dressing down a daughter who had misbehaved.
