CHAPTER XIII. (conunu.d.)

But what the cook had told about
Bella and Jimmy vas not divulged,
for the HARRISON man caught him up
with a jerk and sent Flanagan, grum-
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
iy deceived? And how would be
able 20 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
~ damning were never noticed at all
For instance. my asking Jimmy at
luncheon that day II he took cream in

rescue by dropping his watch in his

Just after luncheon Aunt Selma
brought me some undergarmerts OF
tJiT1's TO be patched. She explained at
length that he had always worn out
HIS undergarments, because he always
lsquirmed around so when he was sit
ting. And she showed me how to lay
one Of the garments over a pillow to
get the patch In properly.
II was the most humilIating moment
lof my life, but there was no escape. I
took my sewing to the roof, while she
went away to find something else for
me to do when that was finished. and
! sat with the thing on my knee and
stared at it, while rebellious tears
rolled down my cheeks. The patch
was not the shape OF the hole at all,
and every time ! took a stitch I sewed
a. fast to the pillow beneath. It was
terrible. Jim came up after q while
and sat down across from he and

A conscientious, Woodworking and
