Stevenson ..... Hyatt ... Wagner demanded Dicky truculently, “How do you suppose I know what she’s taken it into her head to do. There's no use standing her, come on up ta our room and we’ll get busy on thel telephone.” Safely in the room he tossed the bags into a chair and strode toward a telephone. “No use unpacking until we find out what mother’s up to, I suppose,’” he threw back over his shoulder as he took down the receiver. *Don’t stand there staring though, sit down and be comfortable.” Lillian Xnows Nothing, T knew the number he would call cven before I heard him give it to the telephone girl. It was Lillian's, If it had been a predicament of my own I would have called Lillian just as Dicky had, although I had known her a so much shorter time than had he., Peo- ple turned instinctively to Lillian Un- derwood for help in an emergency. Her coolness, her resourcefulness, her rcady wit, above all her spontaneous | willingness to help, made her a tower of strength. I listened breathlessly to Dicky's | part of a hurriea colloquy between f himself and Lillian, who evidently had | answered the 'phone herself. I could | tell by his questions and answers that Lillian did not know anything of hid mother’s wherabouts, “I'll have Madge call you up as soon as I get the house,” he. said finally, and hanging up the receiver turned to me with an annoyed frown on his face, “Lil says she hasn't a ghost off an idea what has happened,” he ex- plained hurriedly. “She thinks she may have gone out home to Marvin. Says she called mother twice while we were gone; once the day after we left, when mother received her very cordially, and again the day before vesterday, when the mater froze her stiff. She said mother seemed to be in a terrible wax about something. “Suppose you call the house, Madge, vou can make Katie understand bet- ter than I can. I suppose, of caurse, she and Jim are back by this time.” “Oh, yes,” T returned, as I went to the telephone, *“vou know they were to be back from their honeymoon in- side of the week.” Located at Last. Dicky muttered something uncom- plimentary concerning the ability any “blasted pot walloper” to keep a promise, but I pretended not to hear him. I resented his language concern- ing Katle, who had proved my very good friend, but I had no wish to add to Dicky’s annoyance. To my relief it was Katle's voh'e' that came to my ear over the tele- phone. I had feared that if my { mother-in-law were indeed at the , Marvin house she might answer the ‘'phone, and I had no desire to bear the brunt of her displeasure, if she { were, as Lillian described her, “in a wax over sometHing.” i But Katie’s tones were not her usual ones, full of caroling light- heartedness. Instead of the familiar “Oh, Missis Graham is dot you? I so glad!” with which she was wont to greet a call of mine over the tele-| phone, her answer was low and cautjous. “Yes, dis is Graham's she said, and then with a little gasp as she recognized my voice I heard her mutter a low-toned command to Jim. | ,“Make dct door shut, Jim, no noise.” Jim must have obeyed her mandate literally, for I heard no sound as of a closing door. But Katie spoke quick- 1y, softly into the receiver. “Misses Graham, say notings, don’t tell you called oop, but coom home joost as qvick as you can. Dot old voman’s is here, and she so mad she joost ralse one hell all time. Goot-by, 1 no want her to catch me at ‘phone!” of | Advertised Letters.
