i've come all the way from Dax's
TO see you." explained Judith, with
characteristic directness. I'VE have
all the afternoon"
Really Mary displayed n fash OF
schoolgirl enthusiasm. II feel as II I
could almost bear the scenery"
Presumably Judith was n favorite
guest OF the Yellett household, and not
without reason. She took her place In
the circle about the homely, steaming
fare with an ease and grace that sug-
gested that dining or the ground was
an everyday affair with her and chairs
ana tables undreamed OF luxurIes.
Mary envled her her ready tact. Why
could she not meet these people with
Judith's polse-bring out the best OF

Mrs. Yellett, regarding her guests

You really ought to have a shirt
waist, Mrs. Yellett. You've no idea OF
the comfort of them till you've worn

You're sure one OF them loose, hangy

What huntT asked Judith In all
simplicity.
"Why, the wolf hunt. Peter Hamil-
ton come here three days ago and
made arrangements for 'em all to have
supper here after II was done. Lowed
there was young eastern lady in the
party, Miss Colebrooke, who couldn't
wait to meet me. Course you're goin',

Judith had not betrayed her cha
grin by the least change OF counte-
nance. To the most searching glance
every faculty was intent on the shirt
waist with the ringed buttons, yet
both women felt, by a species of te-
lepathy wholly feminine, that Judith
