Sladge Becomes Apprehensive Phil Veritesn Tokes Mer to the Restaurant Where the Dised with Noel a Week Before Lillian gave Philip Veritsen no chance to answer her parting shaft sbsolving me frem responsibility for the dramatic situation at the farm-'toward me house. With graceful swiftness she turned as she finighed and walked to the limousine, gave Otto a mur- mured direction, and enterdd the car. My employer atood looking after her, for a second, and the expression of his face was not a particularly pleasant thing to see. All the petty, wounded pride of a baffled autocrat was mirrared in his lips and eyes. The next instant, however, he had again put on a pleasant mask, and he turned to ma with outstretched hand. “May 1 suggest that we step back,” he said, with the touch of pomposity which always invests his apeech. “The sand will be driven egainst you as Otto comes out.” “Suppose wet get into my car now,"” I sald practically. “We'll be @g| troduce into our association when we,_are alone together, and I stif- fened in involuntary resentment. But & quick second thought told me that I must not betray my irritation. Lil- lian’s careful exculpation of me had evidently banished any resentment which he might bave felt. He was in a mood far less bel- ligerent than the one he had evinced over the telephone. If I were to suc- ceed in the mission Lillian had lald upon me, I must keep him in that seftened humor. “I think the idea of tea is a \'ery' enticing one,” 1 said, with a little| laugh. “I am afraid you are re- membering my weakness for tea at any time or any place.” “How could 1 forget anything you liked or disliked?” he said. and this time the personal mole was more pronounced, “Which way do we furn to get to the restaurant?” I asked quickly. Lignoring his last speech. He caught my cue instantly. On Familiar Ground “To the right, about ;two miles, and then a short distance toward the driving out also as soon as ‘their dust dies down.” ‘“That &eems a very good sugges- 'tion,” he said, and spoke.no more until we too were traveling down the road leadiag away from the beach. “Would i' be presumptuous for & person 8o much at sea as myself to propose ah amendment to this driving-around proposition of Lil- lian' he asked. “I gather that you have some rather important news for me.” “That does not matter,” 1 said, realising that is did matter very much indeed. “But what is the smendment?” T forced a smile to my lips with the remembrance that the man beside me must be cajoled into good humor if possible. A Plan Is Offered “There is a wonderful restaurant not far from here,” he sald, “which is almost dascrted at this time of day. Indeed, they hardly have pat- ronaga enough ut this time of the year to justify them in keeping open, but it is a matter of pride with them to say that they never eclose. And they serve very good tea a3 well as other things. 1 proposc that we go there and talk in com- fort, and where you can give me your undivided attention. I confess 1 do not like to share you even with e car” The words, the intonation, were eluborately careless, but I caught in them the personal note which my employer invariably endeavors to in- ONE AFTER ANOTHER By Thorntou W. Burgess The wilful one who disobeys In fright and trouble always pays. —0ld Mother Nature That was a lucky little Duckling over there in the pond of Paddy the scaver. If Rattles the Kingfishey had not frightened him with o harsh cry when he did, there would have been no more storics abont that little Duckling. As it was, he Jjust missed going down inside the white und-yellow waistcoat of Old Mr. Bullfrog, who had leaped for him just as he turned to swim away. No little Duckling was ever more kcared. That great 1°rog had been a monster to the Itttle Duckling, who never before had scen a I'rog. Mr. Frog swam back and climbed | up on his big green lilypad. The | little Duckling hid among. some weeds and oh! how he did wish he had not thought of disobeying Moth- er Wood Duck. How he did long to be back with his brothers and sis- ters, clgse to Mother Wood Duck! He didn’t make u sound. He didn't care make a sound. But he shivér- ed and shook inside his little downy coat. “I didn’t know there were such dreadful things in the Great World.” said he to himself. “I guess I don't want to see anv more of the Great World. I just want my mother. But 1 don't know where' my mother is. | kope there are no more monsters around like that one which so near- ly caught me. Oh dear, what shall 1 do now?"’ ‘The little Duckling remained quiet as long as he could and he really did very well for a little fellow. But when he could remain still no long- er, he begun to swim very- slowly and carefully. By this time he hadn't the leasf idea in which direction Mother 'Wood Duck had gone. He was all turned around. And it sud- denly came to him that now he must | fook out for himself and that he didn’t even know where to go to look | for food. In among the weeds he found some insects and these he ate greedily. He felt better then. His #pirits rose. “1 gucss I can take care of myself after all,” said the little Duckling boastfully, and started to swim out to open water. But just then he happened to look up and| #ailing low above the water was a | great broad-winged bird. The Duck- ling stopped swimming. He remained motionless. Fortunately, the weeds grew rather thick where he was. | The shadow of those broad wings passed over him. He didn't know why, but a feeling of . great fear took possession of him. 8omething inside him told him that that was an enemy. It was. It was a hungry hawk, who would have liked noth- ing better than to discover that littic Duckling. But the Hawk didn't dis- cover hira and passed on, disappear- ing abeve the tops of the trees. Once meore the Duckling drew a long breath. Put once more he wished with all his might that Mother Duck was at hand. “I want te get away from here! 1 want my mother! I den’t want to he alone!" cried the frightened little Leach again.” His tones were as niatter-of-fact as my eown, but ] caught my breath in sudden dis- may. 'What is the matter?"” solicitously. “I have a bruised wrist,” 1 said, bringing a long-past injury menda- ciously inte play, “and sometimes ariving gives it a twinge. It is per- fectly all right now. It may not trouble me again for days. I have to remember about shifting my hand in a certain way, that is all." “You must let me look at it when we get to the restaurant,” he said with quiet authority, “I have ob- served that you never take the least care of vourself, although you always are looking after someone else.” You are altogether too generous in your estimate of me,” 1 told him, really not knowing just what I was replying 1o him. For his dircctions to me had given me a sudden dis- quieting intuition. 1 wus familiar with the road he had outlined, and 1 had been over it only a few nights hefore. We were headed for the res- taurant where Noel and I had dined upon the night Prince Georges was shot and Mary had fled to the place for help. I could not resist feeling that something unpleasant waited for me in the place.

He didn't know who the stranger was, but once more some- thing inside him whispered that he should keep stili. And so he did. The swimmer suddenly turned and went out farther into the pond Then the brown head disappeared. The swimmer had disappeared under water. Have you guessed who the swimmer was? It was Billy Mink. Yes, sir, it was Billy Mink. It wus well for thut Duckling that Billy hadn’t secn him. Billy would rather have had young Duckiing for din- ner than anything else in the world. “Oh, dear! It's one thing after another!” sobbed the little Duckling when he finally starged on again.
