By Adele Edith Fairfax supplies Madge Wtih a Budget of Family Gossip ‘Lo! Madge,” came Edith Fair- fax’s liting voice over the telephone. “I sure have had the old boy's own seasion to get you. I want a fen seeonds’ powwow with the Dicky- | bird, but first, how's Junior? 1've been terribly anxious about him." As she spoke I half unconsciously recorded a disquieting impression whieh her voice made upon me. It | was the faint but unmistakable | metallle note marring the soft musi 1 Southern draw! which always bad been one of her chief attrac- tions. To me it was significant of | the change which had taken place | n the beautiful Virginia girl's char- acter in the years that I had known her. In the days when she and her gentle younger sister, Leila had been the lovely, bewildered, incom- petent protegees of a group of art- ists and illustrators headed by Lil- lian Underwood and Dicky, I had known that she cared as much for Dicky as did her sister Leila for Al- tred Durkee, Dicky's chum, who lat- er became Leila’s husband. But even when in the terrible stress of Dicky’s accident at the Mineola fly- | ing ficld, she lost control of her- self and threw in my face the chal- lenge that she loved my husband mueh better than 1 did, I had recog- nized the girl's high-mindedness and sportsmanship. 1 also had real- ized that she would keep her secret from Dicky, and try heroically to conquer the love which was! wrecking her happiness and that of her distant cousin, Dr. Jim Paige of North Carolina, who had loved her from childhood. But her sudden and unexpected success in the business and adver- tising end of an art magazine in | | which Dicky had sunk a good sum | of money. had meemed to me to | mark a distinct dividing line be- | tween the old incompetent, tremu- Ious, winsome girl with & high senae of honor, and the brisk, assured compet2nt, highly attractive woman red to have taken “My- for her life motto.

T believed that her inquiry after Junior, however, was prompted by genuine concern—she several times had given proof of her affection for the child—and the realization helped me to force my voice to cor- diality. “Thank vou, Ede, he's ever so much better,” I said, wondering even as I spoke, how she had learn- ed about the Junior's illness. Dicky, 1 supposed, but we had been togeth- er almost constan since our boy's accident, and 1 had not known of his either writing or telephoning to Edith during that time. “Sure there will | | be no after ef- caution wus necdless. “Tt's a wonder youn or the Dicky- bird wonldn't have 1ot me know about that accident,” she said with just the touch of grieva in her tone which an old fami friend would display. ¢ heard of 1t today in the most ro Noel Veritzen told his father about it over the teleph and the old boy happened to meet Alf and told him, and then Alf, being a good egg if he is & brother-in-law, telephoned about way. me.

Ol4 Mr. Toad wished then tha had dug a little decper and pulled the hole in after him. Then e noticed that Mr. Blacksnake was not coming in his direction. He was gliding along very smoothly, as enly Mr. Blacksnake can, and he was headed toward the tree in which 0ld Mr, Toad's cousin, S8tickytoes the Tree Toad, was at that very mo- | ment calling.
