Jennie either had nothing more to
say, or feared she had said too much
She was evidently uneasy before
Hotchkiss. l told her that Mrs. Sulli-
van was recovering in a Baltimore
hospital, but she already knew it,
from some source, and merely nodded.
She made a few preparations for leav-
ing, while Hotchkiss and l compared
notes, and then, with the cat in her
arms, she climbed into the trap from
the town / sat with her, and on the
| way down she told me a little, not
much.
"If you see Mrs. Sullivan" she adj
vised, land she is conscious, she prob
ably thinks that both her husband and
her father were killed in the wreck
She will be in bad way, SIR"
you mean that she-still cares
about her husband?"
The cat crawled over on my knee,
and rubbed it's head against my hand
invitingly. Jennie stared at the un-
colossal surf against blue ocean Of
sky. Yes, she cares" she said soft
ly. Women are made like that. They
say they are cats, but Peter there in

Mcknight rarely appeared before half

some time after nine. / looked over
my previous days mail and waited,
with such patience as l possessed, for

seems to create general atmosphere
of depression throughout the house,
as though Euphemia and Eliza, and
Thomas, the stableman, were already
subsisting, in imagination, on Mrs.
Klopton's meager fare.
So called her up and announced |
my arrival. There was something un-
usual in her tone, as though her
throat was tense with indignation. AL
ways shrill, her elderly voice rasped
my ear painfully through the re-
ceiver.
