Lovely" echoed the high voices or
the girls as they futtered down the
broad steps like flock Of whitc-pum-
aged birds. The men, gathered IN a
dark bunch on the terrace, were light
ed up for an instant by the blue squirt
Of match that passed from hand to
hand. One of them stepped out into
the path Of light that streamed from
the open door and waved last good
night.
The house seemed very still when
the gay voices were shut out. Hall
way up the broad stairway Gwen stop
ped on the landing and kneeling in the
deep window seat watched the group
of men and girls separating into twos
as they crossed the lawn, and scat
tered homeward. All but Graham
she noted-he started straight down
the hill alone. The clock in the hall
struck two; the dance had kept up
later than was usual among the con.
sentative cottagers. Gwen yawned
sleepily and started up the second
flight. but stopped suddenly to ask her
self whether she had certainly locked
the front door and put the chain on.
Yes. she was sure she had, and Ora
ham had seen that the windows were
all bolted securely. II Graham wasn't
afraid to have her stay there alone, 1t
must be all right, she decided. Ora
ham had such lovely way of looking
out for her and yet never making it
apparent. She liked that reserve,
even though their engagement was an
n0unced.
Her own room looked pleasantly
home-like after the wide, echoing cor.
ridors. and Gwen confessed to herself
that though she wasn't afraid, she
should never again be beguiled into
allowing all the servants to go into
town at once, even IL the occasion
was the wedding of the parlor maid
and the butler. Father and mother

share his trouble. II he mad fault,
it was the conviction that she must be

When Commissioner Garfield went

Now. It Is announced, the results OF
his study have been turned over to
