followed Mrs. Donovan to the home of
Margaret Gregory.
1t was bare place, but clean and
neat. Mark sighed as he noted the
signs of abject poverty. While the de
livery man was bringing UP the par
cells, Mrs. Donovan volubly explained
that Mrs. Gregory had gone to try to
get some money due her. The warm
hearted Irish woman had surmised
that fortune was at low ebb with her
nelghbor, partly because of little
Royces unusual fretfulness, which
had been Quieted by huge slice of
bread and butter.

as he sat there. In its place came an
old country garden overgrown with
roses and clematis. 1t was June and
