D rise to more comment in Rad
~ vile than Betty Graham's de-
parturo to spend the winter at
boarding school near Philadelphia.
Hardly any one knew anything about
tin fact, the rulnor of it was just
being noised about and contemptuous-
" discredited on all hands-when Ira
cey galloped down Main street Monday
morning with the news that she had
left on the carly train.
Radville was at first stupef1ed, then
clamorous, but there was little infor-
nation to be got out of old Sam.
Duncan himself refused to be inter-
Viewed. He told everybody who had
the impudence to mention the matter
to him that it was Mr.. Graham's af-
fair. Mr.. Graham was substantial
business man, he said, and if he chose
to send his daughter away to school
he had perfect right to do so.
One direct result of It all was to
hasten Josie's own leave taking. 1t
would never do to let the Grahams
eclipse the Lockwoods, you see. Josie
had been talking of going to school
