So St. John, very much Not-Wanted, got
down and drifted away. j..
1t was the doctor who found him, after
ALL and who swooped him up in glad arms
and shouted the news. Men with lanterns
came, and servants, and the loury-faced lady
herself, with more ladies. She seemed cross.
DO you mean to tell me he was under
the seat all the timer Why hadn't someone
looked into the CARTS very queer all the
other machines were taken to hunt him
and this one never touched. =. And you
looked in the most unlikely places, Mr.
Wingate, as | said all the time-and how a
child could have slept through such noise
as we've been making"
"Aunt" said the young ady-and in a
most surprising tone; and then she stepped
into the automobile, sat down and held out
her arms. "Give him to me, Dick" she
said; you'll need both hands And get US

Right there the doctor made long stride
and stepped into the car. 1t was cranked
and humming- and next instant the people
were behind, and they were flying along a
road all white with moonlight and full of
shadows and sweet smells, and cool breeze
that sung past them.
st. John lay close to the young lady and
tried to remember things. He remembered
that he had walked about till he grew tired,
that he had known which automobile was
the doctors and had decided to wait in it;
and that, as the seat was slippery and the
sun in his eyes, he had crawled underneath
to rest. Evidently it was another Mustn't;
but he was tired OF trying not to do them.
They happened anyway. And mother
would have to be written to
"Caroline" snapped the doctor. They
all pitched forward, he stopped the car so
suddenly gravel spurted up under the
tires, and the brakes gritted; and there was
Aunt Caroline, running up to them, taller
than tall, her face whittier than white, in the
moon. Her neck showed white, too, where
her foaty black dress had been torn away
raggedly; and she put her hand up to her
throat as she stood beside them, and looked
at St. John-looked and looked as though
he were alone and she couldn't believe she
saw him.

asked presently-in such a different voice
Something made him slip off the lady's lap
and stand.
"No'm," he made answer. "I'm sorry
I" Aunt Caroline put out her hands to
him. Annt CdyoIinei -.
"Fm sorry" she cried. "Sorry for every
thing. =. If you'll only come to me-"
She was strange and white and breathless;
but at that moment he saw and felt in her
look and voice something more like his
mother than anyone else in the world could
show him-and his heart rose to the call of
kin. "Why--you pGnt mel" he cried; and
went 20 her.
The two watching held their breath as
the distraught woman caught the little fg-

she couldn't fix it cause the hole is show

For an instant there was scary silence;
then everybody but three laughed SO loud
that St. John shrank-ashamed without
knowing why; and everybody looked at the
doctors foot, where line of dropped
stitches showed white up the instep.
The doctor laughed, but it didn't sound
right laugh. The lady with Cutlery glasses
called the nice young lady to do something;
and an old gentleman came and sat in her
place and began to talk taxes to the doctor

was hot and he wanted a drink. He lis
tened. From the next room came a very
soft " "slish-slish' y that he knew to be the
sound OF ladys long skirts following as she
walked; and Aunt Caroline was the only
one in the house who wore long skirts that
slished. Somehow the knowledge made him
shy--he didn't find it possible to call her
: name; so he compromised on a faint "ooh-
ooh to let her know he was awake. The
slshing stopped. When it didn't begin
again and she didn't make a sound, he
thought perhaps she hadn't been sure of
hearing him. He "ooh-oohed" again.
There was a quick swish-three long slishes;
run from him.
When Debby came in presently, she
looked flushed and her smile was pushed
up one that Strengthened out when she
spoke. As soon as he had his drink, ST.
John questioned her.
"What does Aunt Caroline run away for,
ev'ry time2" Debby tossed her head.
You don't need to care if she does, " she
hal-petted, half-scolded. He considered for
a time.
Are you going to -mother-that l
troubled Aunt Gardiner" he asked, midway
in his sponging. Debby lunged and kissed
the back of his neck.
Indeed I'm not guess all the trouble
she's taken" Then she stopped He
felt the irritation of her tone and changed
the subject.
"My, but there's some of the cunningest
puppies in the stable" she said; "and we're

perhaps 90 out on the waterl" OF course
