In two | minutes, Mrs. Marks was rattling away as if she had known Lillian all her life, and I managed to slip away to the Kkitchen wititout any ! demur upon her part, There 1 shut myself in, away from the sound of their voices, and tried | to read—a useless task, as 1 soon found. My brain ran round as mad- deningly and to as little purpose as if the mental course I traveled had been a treadmill. The mystery of the fur garments, the secret of Dicky's | midnight adventure, the lure of Mol- | lie Fawcett—I went over and over | them, even while 1 tried to get away from them. At last I heard the sound of voices, and though T did not open the | | kitchen door, T knew that both Lil- |llan and Mrs, Marks were passing it. | | My neighbor's voicé sounded fer- | | vently. | “Say ! you're one squaré, fine wom- an !" she ejaculated. “T didn't think ‘What Did Lillian Promise Mrs. Mark: ’ Lilllan slumped down in her chair as I talked, propped her elbows on her knees and cupped her chin in her hands. It was a posture as familiar to me as it was comforting, and when 1 had finished talking, 1 shaded my eyes with my hand and watched her silently until she rose from her chair and stretched her arms above her head. “Madge, dear,” she said, “will you let me take care of this situation for a little while? You are too mearly | concerned to get the right perspec- tive on it." “If you only would!" 1 breathed gratefully, for I infinitely dreaded the task of presenting another ultimatum | to Mrs. Marks concerning the costly furs she had brought so unceremon- ously to my rooms. “That's all right, then.” cent was one of relief. you happen to know whether the gifted Petey is now resting in the bosom of his family, or is he sojourn- | ing elsewhere?"” “I am sure he is‘away from home,” T replied. “He always is at this time.” “So far, so good,” Lillian rejoined. “Now, it you'll approach the Marks' apartment and ask the chatelaine to favor me with a few minutes of her improving conversation here in your living room, I shall be most grateful, If Petey is there, you'll | have to stall, and I leave that to your imagination. But If the lady is at lelsure, bring her in here, and then ~~d0 you mind camping in your kitchen for a little while?
