 Margery and Edith came to the house for about an hour and went back to Freds again. A cousin of the dead man, ans elderly bachelor named Par ker, appeared and signified his willing ness to take charge of the house dur ing that day.

 It was Sunday, and went to the of ice only long enough to look over my mail. In the afternoon had my first conversation with Fred and Edith, while Margery and the boys talked quietly in the nursery. They had talk en a great fancy to her, and she was almost cheerful when she was with them.
