CHAPTER XIII. (continusd.)

But what the cook had told about
Bella and Jimmy was not divulged,
for the HARRISON man caught him up
bling, with his rugs to the roof.
1t did not seem possible to carry on
the deception much longer. but II
things were bad now. what would they
be when Aunt Selma learned she had
been lied to, made ridiculous, general
ly deceived? And how would I be
able to live in the house with her
when she did know? Luckily, every
one was SO puzzled over the mystery
in the house that numbers of little
things that would have been absolute
ly damning were never noticed at all
For instance. my asking Jimmy at
luncheon that day II he took cream In
his coffee! And Max coming to the
rescue by dropping his watch in his
glass of water, and creating a diver
sion and giving every body an oppor-
tunity to laugh by saying not to mind.
1t had been In soak before.
Just after luncheon Aunt Selma
brought me some undergarments Of
Jim's to be patched. She explained at
length that he had always worn out
his undergarments. because he always
squirmed around SO when he was sit
ting. And she showed me how to lay
one Of the garments over q pillow to
get the patch in properly.
It was the most humiliating moment
sf my life. but there was no escape. I
took my sewing to the roof. while she
went away to nnd something else for
me to do when that was finished. and
I sat with the thing on my knee and
stared 1t It. while rebellious tears
rolled down my cheeks. The patch
was not the shape Of the hole at all,
and every time I took . stitch sewed
It fast to the pillow beneath. II was
terrible. Jim came up after . while
and sat down across from he and
watched, without saying anything. l
suppose what he felt would not have
been proper to say to me. We had
both reached the point where ade-
Quate language failed US. Finally he
said:
II wish I were dead"
$50 do l." I retorted. jerking the
thread.
Where II she now?"

and he wiggled. please don't

He sat very still for flve minutes.
