Mary took the letter out of ner pocket
and reread it with a certain bitter amuse-

from Mrs. Whiting, and she had had to
spend some of her own small income to
meet little CONSTANT recurring expenses.
But she saw that It would be hard to con-
vince May who was Obstinately stupid,
that she had not been the recipient of large
gifts and made away with them. She sat
awhile looking at the letter and trying to
see a way out of her difficulties. a way
that would not involve any surrender of
her new-found pleasures. Then remember
ing that it was perhaps unsafe to keep the

one piece and then the other into the fire.
The last fragments had just curlcd into
flame when some one spoke behind her.

her expression and attitude that she had

heard of me-.
My aunt mentioned you this morning"
Mary replied calmly; Il will let her know
you are here: l think she wishes to See
you and She walked away.
Miss Fennel bit her lip with vexation
and sank into her vacant chair "The
