M Milburn tries to save him. Charlic Milburn is killed by an auto down town, and after the funeral Milbyrn decides to go back to the little yellow house. NOW GO ON WITH THE CHAPTER XXXIX Emmy did not go back to Flower street with her family. Charlie Milburn was buricd on ucsday, » bluc-and-white April ay that seemed to deny with its wumshine that there could be such fhings in the world as death and licart-break nnd loneliness. He was buried from Grandmother Pent- land’s big house, where he never had been welcome, and he was laid to rest among the Parkses and the Pentlands who never had liked him during their lifetime, And after it was all over, Mrs. Milburn came back to Prospect street, took off her long black veil and set to work to pack all her TORY shabby Lelongings into her two tin 'to live alone T suppose I shall have | trunks. “What on ecarth are you doing all this for tonight?” Emmy asked her when she came into the little sew- ,ing room at five o'clock and found ' Come straight home.

Why, yet we're going to stay In Mrs. Brain- ard’s house tonight and tomorrow night while we're getting the yellow house all settled. Perry's going home with us, and we'll all be together “zuin—except-—" She stopped, ber voice breaking on a dry sob. . But after a minute she went on, bravely: “Ill be glad to get back . there; too; won't you, Emmy " “I'm not going back.

Then she was going to take one of the cozy suites in the big apart- nt building overlooking Gordon Park, just as she had been longing to do for a long time. “It would have been better if you d 1ot me go in the beginning. he said, standing beside the window nd looking down into the hack- yard: “then we wouldn't have come {here. And. as you said on Sunday. if we hadn't come here this drea ful thing that happened to Father | probatly never would have happen- ed to him. . . . So I blame myself lin @ way for evervthing.” | Mrs. Milbura got wp and put her arms around her. “Now, now, my {chick, you must forget what 1 said |1ast Sunday.’ she said. comforting- Iy, “1 was upset when T said it and —well. it a very foolish thing for me fo say, wtit? A very, very silly thing. She knelt down again beside the trunk Wnd laid the last of Charlle Milburn's gay-looking clothes in it.

Tt's God who settles that {question for all of us. The question of life and death. Me makes us bloom for a while like my bridal- wreath bushes, and then She put her head down into her hands. and for the first time Emmy noticed there was a sprinkling of silver in the smooth, brown hair, just above her temples, “All my bushes smashed against the fence,” she mourned, “and just s they were beginning to bud. Just as they were heginngng——" Rut Emmy knew it was not for the bridal-wreath Lushes that she was crying. Presently she stopped, dried her , and went on with her packing.

And when you do need it, |don't be stiff-necked and proud. j where you belong, after all, and no matter how little and poor it is, you're always welcome there.” It was the first time in three days |that she had spoken with any of her {usual bright interest. She had scemed so far away from cverything and everybody; so shut off by her sorrow. “I know T ought to go back home | with you and pay some board to help keep the house going.” Emmy told her after a minute. “With Father gone, and Perry not work- ing, you're going to need money. But 1 don’t see how T can spare a cent right now. If T support myself it's going to take everything I earn for a while” She knew that her mother must he practically penniless. And al- though she marveled at her courag- in leaving this land of milk and honey that was Qrandmother's house. it struck her as being a fool- ish and unnecessary thing to do. Grandmother had asked them all to stay on for a while at least. “Don't you worry ahout us for a <ingle minute.

As she spoke she could see the windows of the little one-room suite, framing the misty willow trees of Gordon Park, in her mind’s cye. She | could see the gateleg table, the roses on it, the candles making a golden haze In the room, and the room it- self filled with the kind of peopl: that she wanted n it. The right kind of people. Her “own Kkind.” as irandmother Pentland always put it. Marianna, Cassic Sears, and her husband, Wells Harbison. ' “ells Harbison — “I'm going to keep house for.my- self.” she said simply. There was no point in telling him anything more than that, she decided. He was good and kind and fine, but her life was her own affair.

The proposal was received here in the spirit that it was a sincere ef- fort to solve the naval problems con fronting the two countries. It was assumed that this was the spirit in which the message was sent. One difficulty that might be en- countered would be the finding of members of parliament who could make the long journey across the At- { lantic in March. This would probably Ibe shortly before the forthcoming general election in which all mem- bers of the house of commons must defend their seats.
