Both were very’thin, with thin gray hair and thin, high voices, They looked as if they were thin | blooded, and tho a thin veneer of cul- ture showed on the surface, one gained the impression that beneath were very primitive and unbridled impulses.

I have to mend his trousers every night and every night I find his pockets stuffed full. Why, I've even found worms in his pocket!’ “Oh, but Ma, that bait,” erled son John. “Maybe so and maybe not," said Mrs. Dumpling. “But anyway they were there.

I am very glad that you have yund out one thing by going back nome without me and that is how im. ible it would be to have your her live with us. She would not be happy for a moment nor would she let us be happy. I have always thought that the Puritans must have been very uncomfortable to live with.

LESLIE. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) TOMORROW: Telephone conver- sation between Karl Whitney and Mrs, Alice Hamilton. had died since the marriage, but Among scores of suitors it was hard to understand Nan’s decision. Miss Mattie, tho, saw no cause for surprise. To her, her brother Doug- las was the epitome of all that was worth while or desirable. And her query was what had Douglas seen in that pale-faced, big-eyed chit to make him want her. Curiosity being the lady's strong point, she set about td find out. Her quest was unsuccess- ful, but she did succeed in adding no negligible weight to the burden of discomfort the mistress of Flower Acres carried. The next morning most of the household arose with a fixed and positive determination on at least one point. Nancy Raynor vowed to herself that not one word or glance of a personal or even friendly nature would she vouchsafe to Malcolm’Fin- y. For she divined her husband | on the lookout for such and would exaggerate apd éistort their |meaning to the diseméture of all concerned. Ezra Goddard vowed to himself that he would drop another hint, a strong one, to Finley on the advisa- | bility of keeping away from his host- ess. Miss Mattie vowed to herself she would find out the true state of af- fairs between Nan and Mr. Finiey, and if she could find the least thing to report she would hasten to her brother with the matter. Qrville Kent concluded that Nan was doing wrong, and he must con- siger carefully whether to speak to | her on the subject or not. Eva Turner promised herself to be more careful in the matter of her em- ployer’s diet. And Malcolm Finley solemnly and roundly swore to himself that he would stop, look and listen a little further, and then, if he was satisfied that that old curmudgeon was really treating that darting girl, he, Fin- ley, would settle the said cur: mudgeon’s hash—in one way or an- other! Finley would not see the members of the family until luncheon time, un- less by chance. And, having seen Nan out among the gardens, he con- cluded to make his own chance.
