All" Mr. Erranti rose abruptly and, going
to the window, stood with his back toward me,
looking out. "Raffarty tells me my mother had
one of her worst attacks last night. Did she
talk wildIy?" turning swiftly and eying me
keenly. Were you terrified by what she sa-d?'
! feared she might hurt herself. The thun-
der and lightning gave her nightmare fancies."
That is it," he spoke with some eagerness
nightmare fancies, nothing more. My mother
has had much trouble in her Hfe-many sorrows
to endure. Ten years ago she was very ILL
She has never been the same since Sometimes
she is not quite herself. Her mind-but you
we're with her last night, and understand. Poor
child! How white you looked as you lay beside
her. your protecting arms around her AS
white and fragile as lily7-a lily flooded in sun
shine-the sunshine of your golden hair!"
had been looking past Mr.. Erranti out upon
the summer sweetness OF trees and river. At
this highhown speech I turned my eyes full
upon him. He smiled family, but appeared
neither embarrassed nor discounted. Evidently
he had not meant to be impertinent. He was
as Randall had said, very romantic looking, the
kind of person whose ordinary conversation
might be expected to be fowery, highfalutin,
romantic. I wondered if Erranti pere had been
an Italian.
Il am very strong. Mr.. Erranti-rarely tired.
But I should tell you at once that I am slow
L
know how to calm madam I was stupid about
it-that is the truth"
To my surprise he appeared pleased, smiling
kindly and approvingly upon me.
You don't look dull Miss Dean but very in
telligent One might I think call you large
minded. Your great gray eyes are so passion
Iess-so calm"
Deciding that Erranti pere had been a Span
lard, rose to go, but again Mr.. Erranu
stopped me.
oh by the way, Miss Dean. will you be so
very kind to continue to preside at my table
while the Hall is empty? Later I shall have
a raft Of men coming, when you'll be more COM
Portable in your own ROOM but at present.
Certainly, if you wish" I said, and I col
ored. Until that moment had forgotten that
housekeepers always eat and live in the
"Housekeepers Room"
Waiting in the garden for the breakfast gong
to sound, 1 reflected that I did not even know
If there were housekeepers room at the Hall!
I was ashamed. Mr.. Erranu had every right to
regard me as an impudent upstart, returning
to find the new kousekeeper dressed in lace and
silk. and taking her meals in the dining room!
Perhaps his flowers of speech had been in
-nockery of my false position. I thankful
that I had on a plain Bingham frock. Madam
must explain why I was dressed like lily Of
the field. Was that Mr. Errantis reason for
comparing me to a lily? Having always
been accustomed to hearing praises Of my
beauty, I had failed to detect the sarcasm hid
den in my employers honeyed speech. I was,
IN truth I said to myself severely, a very stupid
girl-a very remarkably stupid girl; and the
sweet tones of the bronze gong floating out
upon the air, I slowly returned to the house
dreading the necessity of meeting Mr.. Erranti
AT breakfast.
Upon entering the hall I saw that Claude

GAVE HIS APPROVAL
TO HIS OWN VOUCHER
Trouble for a Man Selected for an
ONCE in the District of
Columbia.

Washington, July 10.-Investigation
by District Commissioner West has de
veloped that Alexander Mckenzie, for
merly deputy auditor of the District,
who has been selected as auditor to
succeed James Il. Petty, in whose office
there has been considerable stealing
for the past several years, approved
while holding the former position
scores of vouchers aggregating thou
sands of dollars for. payment TO the
Washington Asphalt Block and Tile
company, of which he is the secre-
tary.
Vests investigation extended only
as far back as 1900. but the thirty or
forty vouchers which during that time
bore McKenzie's approval aggregated
over $50. 900. Mckenzie tlow is mem
ber of personal tax assessments, and
1t was proposed that he and Auditor
Petty should exchange places. This
discovery may make change in plans
necessary unless McKenzieretires from
the company.
Later.-The District commissioners
have conclued not to appoint McKen-
zie to the office of District auditor.
