O moment Laura stood glaring at her
visitor, one hand nervously clutohing
at the balcony rail, the other at tho
snugly buttoned bodice Of her dark
gown.
AT that instant the door Of Barclays
quarters opened and the sound Of glad
voices preceded but second or two the
appearance Of feminine drapery at the
threshold. Mrs. Brooks came backing
into view, chatting volubly with some
one still invisible. Mrs. Frazier came
siding after, and then as they reached
the open air the deep tones Of their in
valid host were heard mingling with
the lighter, shriller, if not exactly sill
very, accents Of his visitors. One glance
they threw toward the young matroR
at the opposite end Of the piazza, and
then it seemed as though Mrs. Frazier
promptly preCipitated herself into the
doorway again, as though to block It
against Barclays possible egress. "De-
termined not to let him see me, nor me
him." were the unspoken words that
flashed through Laura S thoughts. Some
devil Of mischief seemed to whisper in
her ear, for when Mrs. Faulkner turned
again there stood her hostess holding
forth for her inspection little note ad-
dressed to Mrs. H. H. Winn in hand
Mrs. Faulkner recognized at once as
Barclays. With an icy sneer the lady
spoke.
"You think he doesn't write. This
came only an hour ago."
Not FIVE minutes later Mrs. Frazier
turned to Mrs. Faulkner and asked,
"What was Laura VIM showing you

nodded assent to the question, but
glanced Significantly at the passersby,
on their way seemingly to the house the
elders had just left. Mrs. Blythe bowed
Courteously and smiled, but the smile
was one of those half hearted attempts
that seemed to wither instantly at Mrs
Frazier's solemn and distant salutation.
"Now what's that woman taking
Ada Lawrence there for?" was Mrs.
Frazier's query the instant the two
were out of earshot, and for the mo-
