Now, if you will go| down stairs and keep her busy for a while, I'll slip out and go over to the station and meet Alfred and Leila, When we come back, I'll say that T ne ¥ sald isn't 'l try i course, to happened ?" She bridled “Has the girl——" has been very tame and 1 returned with a smile. Lella doesn’'t know Ress is and thought the walk would do my head good.” The bright eyes of Her Fluffiness eparkled with hension. “What a schemer you are-—for your friends ! she exclaimed, keeping her own voice down. “I'm almost through dressing, and I'll go down the second I'm finished. Just help me fasten this gown, and 'l be ready.” T hurried through the and in another minnte, apron over her arm, she hurried down the stairs, | while 1 put on my outdoeor things and stood at the head of the stairs until the sound of voices In the kitchen told me that the way door was clear. 1 let myself out noiselessly, and turned down the road toward the rail- way station. It was a long walk, but I knew that 1 had plenty of time to make it hefore Alfred’s usual home- coming train, and I clear, crisp country air, so unlike the dust-laden atmosphere surrounding the apology for an apartment in which housing conditions had flung Dicky and me. ‘ A sudden nostalgia for country surrounding the Sag Harbor farm swept me, and for an instant 1 felt impatience with the eircum- stances which had Kkept them. But for the now be sitting before blazing logs in the big fireplace with my small son cuddled in my arms. Madge Considers Her Problem Then shame for my selfishness gwept me. Tragedy, grim and stark, lay in wait for my little friend, happiness threatened her daughter-in- law, also dear to me.

Yet, with Pess Dean present, T might not have as good an opportunity later. And might not the knowledge of her mother-in-law’s danger be a good thing for Leila, in that it would oceupy her mind with gomething other than Fess Dean's machinations” The train whistle sounded with my problem unsgolved, and T went out to the platform with the decision so oft- en made, to ahide by circumstances But when the train stopped, and ! caught my first glimpse of Alfred and Leila, everything but anxiety my friend fled.
