. Over the poverty and rlueontem! "= the little yellow house broods al mother's love, which transmute; the | M home to & palace of love and m Pmamy, the only daughter, ! is disappointed with her surround- | ings, envious of her wealthy rela-| ‘Alves, eager to leave. There is quiet, | hard-working Robb, who loves her, Yt who represents to her only a| moneyless, boring future. She de- | cides to get away -from dingy Flow- revm and live her own life, in a “Mittle apartment of her own, where “ahe can entertain as she likes. Mrs. Milburn, aftr a talk with her hus- mand, decides to ask Uncle Bill Parks, who owns the house, if he “'Will give it to them, since they have _pald rent for twenty-five years. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | CHAPTER XIII | Uncle Bill Parks' house on Lake | 8Shore Boulevard was very lar‘(-.l very imposing, and very ugly. Bulit| of dark gray stone and fairly bris- tiing with turrets, it always made | “Emmy think of DBluebeard’s castle | iw the picture books of her child- hood. It was set in the middle of ‘broad acres, and a wide driveway .wouad up to its entrance porch where 2 pair of awkward-looking stone lions mounted guard. The Parks family never had cared “one bit for beauty, but they had had an eye for grandeur always. % Within, the house was just as »gloomily magnificent as the outside of §t was. The room where Mrs. “Milburn and Emmy waited that Sunday night was a treasure house :of top-heavy Chinese vases, gilt chairs and whatnots, hideous hed curtains of real lace, and pafuet floors covered with bright 7Turkish rugs. : “All they need here is our Dying Giadiator lamp,” giggled Emmy: néthen it would be perfect.” “Hush!" Mrs. Milburn said. «# very handsome room. . wonder how your uncle is."” ‘A white-capped nurse came in and led them up the velvet-covered stairs to Uncle Bill's bedroom. . “Please don't stay with him very "fong,” she said quietly to them, her hand on the silver door knob, ‘They went in. ... The old man sat up in a big, black-walnut' bed with grapes and | peaches and apples carved upon its corners. A dressing gown of corded black silk was wrapped around him, and above it his face secemed very white, not at all like the high-col- ored face that Emmy had watched in church so many Sunday morn- “It's 1 ings. "% “Cold on my chest, Rosy,” he told Mra. Milburn in & hoarse voice when she stooped to kiss him on is fore- head. “Played golf in the rain the other day.” “You don't take a bit of care of yourself,” she said, and drew a little jar from her handbag. She set it on his bedside table. “I brought you some crab-app.e jelly. It's the way .you like it; not too sweet.” ° 8he was always giving him little things, as if she were trying to ‘make up to him for the months ‘when no rent was pald for the little “ellow house. She mever forgot him at Christmas or on his birthday, and be never remembered her. Bhe told him all the news from Flower street—told him about Dan’s making the high-pchool football feam, about Emmy's course at ‘Gusiness achool, about the new blue automoblle in which Mr. Jim Tello drove to the woolen mill every -moraing. At last she got around to the lit- :Ale yellow house. Emmy saw her eatch her breath and brace herself like & swimmer ready to take a plunge into deep and dangerous wa- oter. “Uncle Bill," she began, “Charlie »and I have been living in your house for twenty-six years. During that time we must have paid you six or “peven thousand dollars in rent—and the ’hc. isn't worth that much. :We've really paid for it.” ,'M twisted her black-gloved fin- &ers in her lap nervolusly. “Charlie thought perhaps you'd give us the POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Irene an’ her divorced husband were slow about gettin’ other mates, so they married each other again to keep from payin’ rent on two apartments.” (Copyright, 1928.

He snapped his thick old tingers. “He'll never get five cents’ worth she finished with a of anything that belongs to me,” he | growled, his eyes like points of steel under his shaggy brows. Mrs. Milburn's throat visibly. She swallowed. “I'd like the house for myself, Uncle Bill,” she said desperately, after a pause. “You know how it is —if you own a house you can al- ways get along somehow, no matter what happens. You can take board- ers or do something like that to earn a bit of money. You always have a root over your head.” She sat, a small, resolute figure, on the very edge of her upholstered chair, waiting wnile he turned this over in his mind. tightened To Emmy’s surprise, his old face | softened graduaily. “Well, that's purfectly he answered at last. that's about the only business-like thing I ever heard you say, too. .. . I'll tell you what you do; you come down to the Parks building as soon as I'm better and we'll talk this over again. You do that”” He picked up a heavy silver bell from his bedside table and rang for the nurse, “He's going to give it to me, isn't he? He's going to give me the house, T do believe!” Mrs. Milburn sald when she and Emmy were out- doors again. walkiug down the wide drive to the gates. “He must know that he ought to do it.

She came and got him this arur- {noon in her car. I forgot to tell you,” said Emmy. “Yes, I know. I saw them go. ! But where do you suppose your father and Dan can be? Just run upstairs and see if they're in bed. They were not. 1t was eleven o'clock before | Emmy, curled up in her own bed, heard them come up the street, talk- ing and laughing as they came. Mr. Milburn never had paid very much attention to her Perry, but Dan was his chill—the son of his father. They were “two of a kind,” Grand- mother Pentland always said. “Where on ecarth have you two been until this hour of the night?” Emmy heard her mother ask as they | came in from the street. . “Oh, we just shot a couple of games of pool down here at the | corner,” Dan anewered, already on his way upstairs, two steps at a time, After he had gone to bed with a great slamming of doors and loud | whistling, silence shut down over the house. Emmy closed her eyes, drowsily | wondering if Uncle Bill would keep his promise to talk over the little yellow house with her mother again. . &he wondered if Robb had { missed her all that long day. He {usually took her for a drive in the ia(rn"s,le buggy on Sund; afternoon. . She wondered what she would be doing three months from now. . . And, wondering, she dropped off to slecp. It scemed to her only a second afterward that she was roused by the sound of voices close at hand. | | Her mother and father were talking in their bedroom and their volces came clearly through the thin walls of the house. “I've told him and begged him not to go to pool rooms and he shouldn't have gone,” Mrs, Milburn JUST KIDS {rected and now in my hands, I this day was saying, and her voice sounded tired and hopeless. “I don't want him to get into the habit of hanging around such places at his age.” “You want to make a mollycoddle of him,” her husband came back at her. “Let me tell you something: I know more about raising a boy than you do. 1 was a kid, myself, once. And I played pool and gam- bled and took a smoke or a drink when I could get one—and I don't notice that it did me any harm.
