How Lella Guessed the Plan Edith Fairfax Made Edith Fairfax turned to me, there was fierce questioning in her eyes. 1 “What is it?” she whispered tense- | Iy, and I saw that anxiety for Leila had erased from her brain for the minute, the recollection of the cir-| cumstances under which last we had | in other days seen each other.

There were a dozen questions pounding fn my brain at this unex- pected sight of her. Was her feeling for Dicky, of which, on onc memor- | able occasion she impassionedly and reproachifully—had told be, still flaming within her? Or had time and her own determination killed it? “Why Didn’t You Write?"” Had she listened to the pleadings of big “Dr. Jim” Paige, the “cousin fo' or five times removed"—to use his own quaint phraseology — who had loved her from childhood? Or was their relation still the comrade- Iy cousinly one upon which she al- ways had insisted? There was no opportunity, ever, for me to deduce any answers 10 to my queries from Edith's looks or manner. Dicky could not forever hold Leila in bantering conversation that Katherine and T might have an opportunity to give Edith a clue to the emergency confronting her, and as Leila moved away from Dicky toward us I had just time to whisper, *I'll tell you later,” before she was upon us. “Why didn’t you write you were | coming Edle?” sha cried fully. “I've been eating my heart out for you' “I did,” Edith responded quickly. “I wrote twice since I got yours tell- | ing me—" Edith’s Surprising Plan She broke off short at sight of the telitale color stealing into her sis- ter's thin face, sentence with perfect composure: #—eOf Mrs, Durkee’s home coming. | T wrote you I wounld start within a week, then wrote again when 1 found I could get away earlier, 1 did not wire for fear of frightening you or Alfred’s mother. How is she, by the way?" “Convalescing fast,” Leila answer. ed, and then added with a worried look. “But I'm afraid everything will be set back when she gets well enough to come down stairs, She won't be well enough to do house- work,.and she'll never stand for the maid we have"-—lowering her volce to a discreet whisper at the last words. “And I don't blame Luey's an awful old grouch, must have been responsible for my not getting your letters, 8he prob- ably stuffed #ave coming upstairs.” This she sald with a vindictive lit- tle snap of her teeth, adding: “I'd love to get rid of her, but Mother Durkee never would let me do the work alone, and there you are.” She spread her hands in & hopeless little gesture, Edith swung toward Katherine, “How msoon will Mrs. Durkee be abl®e to travel?” she asked.
