Jimmy couldn't lose his position
any more than he could ever find an

tie.
You're detestable!" Miss Wrigg
flung back at her. Sometimes l
don't see why like you at all" she
added from the threshold.
Sometimes l don't fathom It my
SELF" Miss Burke admitted She got
up laughing when the door closed.
There was a picture of her brother
on the mantel. She took It down and
held It at arms length in front of her.
Your sisters a bad lot, Jeems," she
apostrophlzed the card. ASK Mamie
Wrigg If she isn't. Now, l suppose
she'll be wroth with me for as much
as an hour"
She returned the photograph to its
place and went on with her dressing.
When she was quite finished she
tapped at the opposite door.
THE butterfly is going out" she
announced. "The bird of pleasure
futters on the wing. Do you approve
Of me enough to see If I'm hooked up
behind? 1t might be a comfort to my
brother to know l didn't come to
pieces on the streets of Philadelphia.
You're horrid," Miss Wrigg relent-
ed. "You pretend not to care about
anything. l believe it's a pose"
"Poise, not pose. You've left out a
letter." the other corrected her.
Goodnight" She swept down the
stairs, watching her light skirts fluff
behind her.
It was. late when she returned, and
it was very late before she woke next
morning. She was dimly conscious
that some one had been tapping at
her door for what seemed an inter-
period; as she opened her
eyes, she saw the door slide ajar and
Nancy Wrigg's head come through
the opening She turned over at that
and pulled the watch from under her
pillow.
Hello, Mamie! 'Cruelties' shut
DOWN." she called in greeting.
81 got off for a WHILE" Miss Wrigg |
answered. She shut the door and
came across to the bed Her prac-
tical, affectionate voice shook little
as she spoke. II don't suppose 1t
amounts to anything, but l thought |
I'd come and tell you. 1t seems
they've had-some kind of an earth
quake in San Francisco"
They're addicted to them," Miss !
Burke admitted Much of a one?
What did the paper say about it?"
1T said-the city was under water.
OF course it's exaggerated"
Miss Burke sat up. II want to see
the paper" she demanded, and the
newcomer fed to secure 1t.
When she returned her friend was
sitting on the edge of the bed, feeling
her way languidly into kimona. She
took in the faring headlines at
glance. TN get back into bed and
read IT," she announced And / can't
keep you from the 'Cruelties,' Mamie.
Run along and rescue deserted in
'ant"
She pushed her consoler gently to-
ward the door and closed it after her.
Then she stood still for an instant
with clenched hands.
IT'S not true" she said under her
breath. San Francisco"
After moment she gave herself
4 little shake and began getting into
her clothes. Mamie had not gone
back to the "Cruelties" She heard
her moving about In the hall
and called to her: Come on in,
Nan. I'm nearly dressed. If you're
really going to take a day off, wen
