He rolled up his sleeves, found a

down word that she was not we'll, and
would like some omelet on her tray.
| Omelet!
l knew that 1t was made Of eggs,
but that was the extent of my knowl-
edge. l muttered an excuse and ran
upstairs to Anne, but she was still
smiling over her necklace, and said
she didn't know anything about
omelets and didn't care. Food would
choke her. Neither of the Mercer
girls knew either, and Bella. who was
still reading in the den. absolutely de.
clined to help.

things and blames other people. And
she flirts.

CHAPTER VII. (continued.)

Well, 1t ended by Jim's graciously
permitting Bella to remain-there be-
ing nothing else to do-and by his
magnanimously agreeing to keep her
real identity from Aunt Selma and Mr..
HARRISON, and to break the news OF
her presence to Anne and the rest. It
created a sensation beside which
Anne's pearls faded away. although
they came to the front again soon
enough.
Jim broke the news at once, gather
ing everybody but HARRISON and Aunt
Selma in the upper hall. He was
palpitatingly nervous, but he tried to
carry 1t OF with high hand.
TITS unfortunate" he said, looking
around the circle Of faces. each one
frozen with amazement, and just
suspicion, perhaps, Of incredulity.
Its particularly unfortunate for her.
You all know how high-strung she is,
and If the papers should get hold of it
well, we'll all have to make it as
easy as we can for her."
With Jim's eye on them. they all
swallowed the butler story without
gulp. But Anne was indignant.
TITS like Bella" she snapped. well.

on 1t. I'm sure l shan't make it for
her. But If you want to know my
opinion, Mr.. HARRISON may be fool,
but you can't ram two Bellas. both nee
Knowles, down Miss Caruthers' throat
with a stick"
We had not thought of that before
and every one looked blank Finally,
however, Jim said Bella's middle name
was Constantia, and we decided to
call her that. But it turned out after
ward that nobody could remember it
In hurry, and generally when we
wanted to attract her attention, we
walked across the room and touched
her on the shoulder. 1t was quicker
and safer.
The name decided, we went down
stairs in a line to welcome Bella, to
try to make her feel at home, and to
forget her deplorable situation. Leila
had worked herself into a really SYM
pathetic frame Of mind.
Poor dear" she said, on the way
down. Nov don't grin, anybody. just
be cordial and glad to see her iope
she doesn't cry: You know the spells
she takes"
We stopped outside the door, and
everybody tried to look cheerful and
sympathetic and not grinny-which
was as hard as looking as If we had
had cup of tea-and then Jim
threw the door open and we filed in.
Bella was comfortably reading by
the fire. She had her feet up on
q stool and pillow behind her head
She did not even look at us for min
ute; then she merely glanced up as
she turned page.
Dear me-" she said mockingly
what lot of frumps you all are!
had hoped 1t was some one with my
breakfast"
Then she went on reading. AS Leila
said afterward, that kind of person
ought to be divorced.
Aunt Selma came down just then
and l left everybody trying to ex-
plain Bella's presence to her, and fed
to the kitchen. The HARRISON man
appeared while was sitting hopeless
