I Edgar Gerard looked at him and
smiled to himself.
"NelsOn is smitten with the pretty
housemaid." he whispered to his sis
ter, who was on his left.
Miss Gerard laughed and gazed at
Kitty through her eyeglasses. Edgar
looked at Eunice and thought her
the most charming girl he had ever
met.
The dinner passed OF successfully.
Kitty waited we'll, though there was
a tremor in her voice when she said
to Nelson:
Gold pudding or hot, sir?"
Nelson in the hurry of the moment
answered, Both"
When she had put the desert on
the table, Kitty drew a breath of re-
lief and rushed off to the kitchen to
sit down and recover herself. She
! wondered how on earth she had man
aged as wei as she had with Nelson s
eyes on her all the time. She had
promised to explain it all to him, but
that could b: left to the future. The
.. great thing was to keep him quiet
for the rest Of the evening. She
tore strip of paper from a house.
hold diary hanging on the wall and
scrawled few words:
!. "Please don't look so astonished,
the Gerards will notice it. Don't be-
tray me whatever you do"
She folded it up into small COM
pass, and then proceeded to make the
coffee. Coffee making was not one Of
her strong points; the result was a
very weak and insipid fluid of pale
fawn color. Nevertheless she bore it
of in triumph to the drawing room
and handed it round with perfect
self-possession. Into Nelson's saucer
as she handed him his coffee she
slipped the twisted piece of paper.
AS she went out of the room she en-
countered 1sabel's eyes. She had
taken one sip Of the coffee, and was
evidently struggling with suppressed
laughter. The ludicrous side of the
whole situation suddenly overcame
Kitty and she had barely time to close
the drawing room door before she be-
gan to laugh. Safely back in the
kitchen she sat down on a chair and
laughed till the .ears ran down her
cheeks.
"It's a lovely Joke" she gasped.

day, and after resisting the idea for
forms sake, she finally gave in, and
entered into the scheme with a good
deal of zest.
There's one blessing" Kitty said
to Mary, when they were in their bed
room that night, MIR. Nelson, that
friend of Mr.. Edgar Gerard's, isn't
staying with them, evidently. He
told me, when Aunt Jane and I came
across him in Brussels, after you left,
that he was coming over to England
when the Gerards did. He would
have known me again at once"
"You saw good deal of him?"
