But my little mald was ahead of me and, shoes in hand, leoked up amiling. “You shoost it still. 1 feex,” she sald, and deftly invested me with my footgear, glving each shoa a tender littls pat as she tied the laces. Katle is one of the rare people who delight In devoted personal service s employers, and she is never more enthuslastle or cheerful than when she can help me dress. “Thank you, Katle” T said grate. fully when she had finished, for de- spite my Puritan ancestry there is atouch of the sybarlte in me and the litle service she had renderad me was most welcome, ‘‘How Jorg has the man been here?" “He shoost coom.”" she answered, “Meesis Underwood she shoost go dewn by library, und ven she at head of stairs she say te me, ‘Ka‘le, you go by your Meesis Graham, toll her shake her feet qveeck by fiprary.’ " “Go to Mother Graham' T bit my lips at Katle's character- istically free translation of Lilllan's message, and walting only to smooth my halr and slip an an unrumpled mown 1 moved toward the door, stopping on the threshold to give Katie a parting direction, “Go directly to Mother Ciraham's vaom.” - T commanded, “and stay there.

A stocky, power- ful-looking man rose to his feet as I entered and acknowledged Lillian's introduction as “Mr. Eldridge” with an awkwardness which ghowed that he was littla used to practicing the soclal graces. 1 sat down quickly near Lillian and she gestured him back to his seat, then turned to me. “If you'll just tell Mr. Eldridge about your findirg of that card” she said.

T hurriedly outlined te the attentive Mr. Eldridge the story she had rehearsed before.

She sells her property, and with her tiny fortune in cash, sets out to find and marry & man with money. At Atlantle City she meets Her. bert Waterbury and Dan Sprague through a divorcee, Mrs. Carlotta Frolking. Both men pay suit te May, much to the distress of Car- lotta, who has long been in love with Dan. She and May become great friends, however, and Car. Iotta asks May to winter with her In her California bungalow, May sets her cap for Waterbury, whom she belleves to he rich. He finally proposes, and May accepts him. Later she turns all her money over to him to invest for her, and he disappears with {t! Penniless, May sells her furs and diamonds te buy a ticket to Les Altos, Californla, where Carlotta has her home. On the way there she stops off to see her friends, the Dick Gregorys, and meets a wealthy widower, Ulysses Forgan, He falls in love with her at first sight, and asks her to marry him. But she re. fuses him, telling him that she likes him too well to marry him without love. Tn California she tries to “break Into” the movies and fails. Then, through Dan Sprague, she gets a job in the real estate office of Har- ker and Harker. One day the elder Harker locks May into the office and tries to make love to her, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY With faseinated eyes she watched Mr. Harker come slowly toward her across the tiny office. As he came May backed away from him, step hy step, knowing all ths while that she should not back away, What she ought do, she told herself, was to stand her ground firmly. 1o “Don’t you dare to come a step nearer to me!" “Don't move or make a sound, darling!" he sald again In her ear, “She'll be gone in a minute,” May ground her teeth. It was bad enough to be caught this way even {f she had laved Mr. Harker, but hating him the way she hated hm . .t “For two pina I'd go right eut and tell her what you were doing," she hissed. Again the tapping sounded upon the door. This time it was more violent. . . Could it be that “Paul- ina" could hear the whispers with- in? “What would you tell her 1 was doing?" asked Mr. Harker, under cover of the tapping. “Making love to me agalnst my will, you beast, you!" May whisper- ed furjously. “You know what you were doing, without my telling you! Mr. Harker laughed silently. There came a sound of retreating footsteps on the sidawalk outside the office, and in a minute or two Mr. Harker unlocked the door and threw it open. May sank down at her desk and Nhid her face in her folded arms. She was shaking from head to foot. Suddenly she heard a voice di- rectly behind her — a woman's voice, “Now, Henry Harker, what were vou and that girl doing in here, locked up alene?™ it asked. There was only a groan Harker. May swung around in her chair. Not two feet from her stood Mrs, Harker, arms akimbo, eyes fixed on May iika twin points of steel, Yven through her terror, couldn’t help thinking how much befter Mrs, Harker would look {f she'd darken those white eyelashes of hers, and rub a powder puff aeross her red nose. .

If he'd touched me I think I should have died. I loathe your husband. . . " She shuddered, and waited for Mrs. Harker to speak. But the square woman with her white lashes and colorless lips evidently had nothing more to She stood staring at May for what seemed an sternity, and then collapsed heavily on a chair beslds the door, “He's been doing this for thirty years,” May finally heard her mut- ter to herself in a thoughtful, dull tone: “For thirty years."” “Dolng what?" May asked, Mre. Harker shrugged her mas. sive shoulders. “Carrying on with other women . . and then telling me it wasn't his fault,” she ex. plained thickly. “I used to wonday what there was about him that il(-‘ tracted women. He sail he couldn't turn around without having wome woman after him. But I see, chaging!" She nodded slowly as if her head carrled a great welght. “Yep, he's been fooling me fer thirty years!" she repeated, and got heavily fo her fest. “And watehed him ke a hawk, too “Well, T guess there's nothing 1 can do about it she went on, smoothing down her wide unfash- fonable skirts, and straightening her hat, At the door she turned again, and faced May with suspicion clearly written in her pale eyes. “You're sure vou're the truth? Yeu'rs sure youy dldn't lead him on?" she asked sharply. May's smile pltied her. “Listen to | me a minute, Mrs, Harker,” she said. “You're like all the married women.

Burgess Who for defense is fully armed You'll find is very seldom harmed. —O0ld Mother Nature. In the Long Lane leading from Farmer Brown's barnyard down to the Green Meadows and the corn- field live certain little hot-tempered people. They had been there all summev. At first there had been only a few of them, but now there were many of them and each one carried a sharp little lance. They lived beside the road in a mossy bank. They were Yellowjackets, you know, are a kind of Wasp. Now, at first no one had bother- ed them and so they had bothered no one. But as they grew more and more numerous they began to make some trouble, Twice Farmer Brown's Boy was stung by them when he happened to stop close be- side the little holes in the ground which were the entrances to their homes. Then one day Farmer Brown drove down the Long Lane and Bowser the Hound trotted along beside the wagon. Presently Bowser ran ahead. He thought he smelled something up on the bank, and, as his way, he ran up with those horses. Such a prancing and dancing and kicking and squealing! Such a plunging! It was a wonder that that wagon wasn't upset. But finally Farmer Brown managed teo quiet the horses and by this time they had left the Yellowjackets be~ hind. Tarmer Brown got some mud and put it on the wounds made by those sharp little lances. That made the horses fecl better, He put some on his own wounds, too, and that made him feel better, It was after dark when Farmer Brown ventured to drive back up the Long Lane, The Yellowjackets had all gone to bed. There was no more trouble, but he knew that there was likely to be trouble whenever any one passed that way, “We'll have to smoks them out, sald Farmer Brown. “We'll have to go down there and smoke them out.” Now. some one hesides Sammy Jay ! flnll that had happens ad. me one was Jimmy Skunk., Jimmy had been taking & nap hidden in the thick bushes that grew beside the Long Lane.

Things happened in the Long Lane! My, my, my, I should say they did happen! Sammy Jay saw it all and tells about it to this day. You see, those horses started to run away. Those horses always had been treated kindly, and they didn't know what to make of those sharp pains made by the lances of the Yellowjackets. Farmer Brown him- self fared no better.
