stand how such war had been fought
without his finding it out. Ordinarily
J Miss Amanda was discreet and
waived disputed points, but her an
cestors had fought In the War OF 1912
and she would not admit even to
Grandfather Pennel that it had not
occurred.
She was rather fiustered at finding
Manning on the doorstep. She had
heard much about him, and in a way
feared his control Of public opinion.
Manning had not regarded her very
closely heretofore. Now he scrutinized
her very carefully as he handed her
his hat and prepared to enter the Sit
ting-room. She was a more attractive
woman than he had supposed, he ad-
mitted to himself. The heat Of the ar
gument had left pretty flush upon
the withered cheeks, and even Susan
would have admitted that she had
good eyes.
Manning soothed Grandfather Pennel
by assuring him that he remembered
the old gentleman telling about the
war of 1912 years ago, and suggesting
that he had probably forgotten all
about 1t. This was an adjustment sat
isfactory to both sides and gave Miss
Amanda a respect for his skill as an
arbitrator. Having settled the old man
Manning turned his attention to his
prospective foe.
She had been a school teacher in her
younger days and was better read than
the average. She was q fluent talker
as we'll Manning was almost sorry
when dinner was announced, even
though Susan Pennel's dumplings were
supposed to improve any chicken stew
ever made.
After that he found that an opponent
required more study than ne had sup
posed. He was regularly at the Pen
nels; SO regularly that at length Susan
took him to task 1t was over at his
home, and he sat in the cozy arm chair
where he had heard the confessions OF

she was saying nervously. 'I don't

place to ask you to get that woman out
of the house, but you see you're like
one of the family, and I thought you
might help me-"

she's never had any husband to doni-
neer. You can't blame her when you
realize that. you know. Now I think
the best way will be to get a husband

Susan shifted. You don't happen to
know of any one who wants her for a
wife, do you?" she asked scornfully.
Manning blushed.

the doctor cheerily, his tone a very
comfort in itself, although his words
were not especially so. He passed out
Of the door hurriedly, preventing fur
ther questions, and beckoning to the
nurse as he did so to follow him. A few
steps down the corridor he halted.

on his face, do you know whether
your patient has any relatives near

girl readily. I've talked with him re-

teased her aunt.
The girl gave her an impulsive kiss
and then looked at her with a twinkle
in her eye.

a sheet of your best paper, she
coaxed.
After her 16-year-oId niece had dis
appeared, having taken some Of the

window and stood gazing abstractedly
at the house across the street.

printed in faint scrawling letters, ITO

tell James to have the carriage at the

When John Darlington reached
home after trying day in his down

landlady had put long florists box

But what could she do? Too well
she knew Scott's spirit TO suppose that
he would accept anything from her;
that he would ever say the words she
longed to hear; the words that would
give her the right to care for him;
unless his sight was restored She
must get that right before the ban
dages were removed. She must lead
him on to speak-but no, what good
would that do? If he were to be
really blind, she knew he would re-

and smiling, was far too much for
blunt, outspoken Susan. In the end she
bowed her head to the aff1iction and
suffered, If not in silence, at least with
out direct opposition to the intruder.
Having gained her victory Miss
Amanda unwisely proceeded to make
life as unbearable to Susan as pos
sible only to a woman. In short
while Miss Amanda had driven Susan
to revolt.
She sought out Manning and found
in him a ready sympathizer. He was
already beginning to feel that this
assertive spinster threatened his do
main. She had subdued the family
OF Pennel. and from certain little In
dications 1t seemed to him that she
thought to dominate the domestic at
fairs OF the rest OF the village.
II wouldn't complain" said the
weeping Mrs. Pennel, "but you see,
william, you're like one Of the family.
and 1 feel that I must tell some one. y
That's all right, Susan" he said,
cheerily. "I'll look In In the morning
and see what can be DONE"
She took her departure, still sniff
fling, but visibly comforted. Manning
sat down to look over the situation.
Here he met foeman worthy of his
steel. From all accounts she was
energetic, resourcefuI, somewhat DOM
ineering, but for all that well balanced
ana alert. It appealed to Manning
as q case Of strategy.
He decided that 1t would be wise
to first ascertain the position Of the
enemy, observing the probable force
he would have to encounter. He put
on his hat and strolled over to
Grandfather PenneTs for dinner. He
was used to dropping in anywhere for
dinner. Miss Amanda met him at the
door, for Susan had not returned. She
was somewhat flushed. for she had
been arguing with Grandfather PEN
mel, who insisted that the War Of 1912
did not happen. since he did net re-
member 1t. He had figured that he

hung the length of Iistless arm on the

She was tired of teas. She had
amused herself calculating just how
many gallons she had drunk IN the ten
years of her social career. At 20 1t had
seemed highly elating to put on her
newest gown and drink tea with a
crowd Of people.
But at 30 she forgot to pin on the vio-
let's, even when there was a huge
bunch in front Of her on the dresser,
unless her maid suggested that 1t would
improve madame's toilette.
She sighed in recognition OF the fact
that real life doesn't work out like nov

Some Of her energy finally communi-

threw the book on the table near and
