Mrs. Pemberton made q dramatic

"Wen?" I ventured, shifting my po-

"'Of all things in the world. dear

I chuckled. Mrs. Pemberton frowned
entrancingly at me.
Now, don't pretend that you know
what a planchette Is. she reproved,

THE GIFT OF HER DAUGHTER
BY I'M WRIGHT HANSON

/ Let's see if we can make it write
I wheedled, springing up and looking
down into her brown eyes. Dear heart!
Did she think / wanted Florence?
Il verify believe you would abet the
| child in her folly" she murmured, but
she rose quickly and went into the
parlor.
First, piece of paper" said gayly.
l found several leaves on the window
seat. l put one under the planchette,
and We seated ourselves at the table.
Mrs. Pemberton laid one small hand on
the heart-shaped board, and / put my
hand on her hand.
That's not the way" she said
hastily.
It's the latest improved" I declared
boldly. II know more about these, little

liriously passed my free arm around
her pretty shoulders, and laid my face
against hers. We both closed our eyes.
She moved ever SO slightly.
'Sh!" / warned. It's writing!"
Sure enough it was moving spookily
over the paper. We held our breaths.
Finally 1t gave two small jerks and
stopped. Mrs. Pemberton threw off nv
arm and sat up ungracefully straight.
took out the paper and read:
am sure dear mamma loves Mr..
Paul, and he"
''Nonsense!" cried my lady.
See for yourself" l protested.
handing her the paper. "It is not your
writing. and it is not mine. Some
thing uncanny about 1t, isn't there !?

as she studied the writing, for Mr.
Paul loves dear mamma with all of
his unworthy heart. | don't want 70

The paper slipped from her hands.
She turned toward me, her lustrous
eyes fearful. / took her in nv arms.
and was bending my head, when we
heard voice singing in the hall.
Mrs. Pemberton ran to the plano, and
sat down on the sofa.
Hello, folks" greeted Florence
cheerfully, running into the room.
PLEASE don't detain me. / just came
for my letter. / want to get 1t out on
this mail. Why, where's the rest

Mrs. Pemberton's nervous fingers
were jerking out the chord of D. sat
speechless Presently Florence's sharp
eyes spied the missing sheet. She
picked 1t up. She looked from her
mother to me and laughed
II wouldn't try the planchette with

gested mockingly. 1T won't work

She ran out and went over to the
piano.
