To my grati- fication he had devoured the last orumb, and was evidently much re- freshed by his long nap and his meal, 1 had decided that as long as he was aet seriously it would be safe to toll him of Bremman's call with ‘s mysterions message . “Whay worry over the mental va- guries of our very unpleasant land- Jord?” Dicky dismissed the gquestion #dly, then reconsidsred it as quickly. “Repeat his words,” he said. “He insisted that his business was with you,” I began, “informed me that he transacted no business with 1adies, and left me with this ‘gem for partng, ‘Don’t ever eay I didn’t try ¢o give ye fair war'rnin’!" Dicky laughed heartly, then sud- denly grew sober. “Nevér can tell what an old gink ds violin repairing and bow hairing clalty.

Birdsall says that blasted drunken idiot won't rent the place to : we've spoiled got | 1 and that he didn't count on renting the place to two families ,anly to one.” “Two families?” I ejaculsted, Dicky laughed aloud at the look upon my face. “To the vernal mind of out gifted landlord, Katie and Jim qonstitute the pecond family,” he explained. “But 4ancy our being accused of making a tenement out of his place! Birdsall says all those things are only excuses, however. The real reason is that the old fellow wants to come back and live in the place. We've cleaned it up for him after it had looked like a pigpen for years, and now it looks Ppretty good to him again. I hape he chokes,” he finished, viciously, I was too stunned by the news to pay miuch attention to Dicky's ob- jurgations. I had not known how fond I had grown of the rambling old house until I faced the prospect of ‘being pushed out &f it. But I realized presently that Didky was talking to me, and that I mut listen to him. “To think of standing a winter out here, and then being cheated out of the next summer!” he said, bitterly. “This house is a false alarm as’ a winter home, but it's certainly a bully old place in summer, “Don’t Tell Me—" “I think from what Birdsall said, the old chap has a lurking idea we are ®0 fond of the place we mright be in- duced to buy it,” he went on.. “But he'll wait till Gabriel decldes to settle out in Marvin before he gets the price he’s but upon it.

I resolved to make a desperate plea for the life I loved so well. “Of course, we . couldn’t buy this house, Dicky,” I began timidly, “but don’t you think it wauld be a. good idea to look around and find some nice little place, not too ‘expensive, which we could get an equity in and start a real home, which no landlord could take away from ue?” “For the love of Mike!” Dicky ex- SIDE TALKS Summer Hats in February “The old order changeth, ylelding place to new And God fulfills himself ln many ways Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.” —TENNYSON.
