CHAPTER VII. (contInued.)

Just fold them in," I said desper-
ately. TIT isn't difficult" And be-
cause l was SO transparent a fraud
and knew he must find me out then,
said something about butter. and went
into the pantry. That's the trouble
with a lie: somebody asks you to tell
the first thing you know, you are hav-
ing to tell thousand, and trying to
remember the ones you have told SO
you won't contradict yourself, and the
very person you have tried to help
turns on you and reproaches you for
being untruthful! leaned my ell
bows despondently on the shelf Of the
kitchen pantry, with the feet Of a
guard visible through the high WIN
dow over my head, and waited for
Mr. HARRISON to come in and demand
that I fold a raw egg, and discover
that I didn't know anything about
cooking. and was Just as useless as all
the others.
He came. He held the bowl out to
me and waved fork in triumph.
Il have solved IT," he said. "Or.
rather, Flanagan and I have solved
1t. The mixture awaits the magic
touch Of the cook"

rest 1t was only to be put in pan

three minutes. And / did 1t properly,
but for two things: should have
creased the pan (but this was the
books fault; 1t didn't say) and I
should have lighted the oven. The
latter, however. was Mr.. Harbison's
fault as much as mine. and I had wit
enough to lay 1t to Observation-Disclosures
on the part Of both of US.
After that, Aunt Selma or no Aunt
Selma, we decided to have boiled
eggs, and Mr. HARRISON knew how to
cook them. He put them in the tea
kettle and then went to look at the
furnace And Officer Timothy Flanni-
gan ground the coffee and gave his
opinion of the board Of health in no
stinted terms. AS for me, l burned
my fingers and the toast, and felt my
self growing hot and cold, for I was
going to be found out as soon as F1an-
nigan grasped the situation
Then, Of course, did the thing that
caused me so much trouble later. 1
put down the toaster-at least the
HARRISON man said 1t was a toaster-
and went over and stood in front Of
the policeman.
