Still SometnSis Lacking.
or course, Mr. Mellon Is just as rich
as he ever was, and everything that
little Miss Ailsa and young Master
Paul want they still can have.
And Mrs Mellon, too. Is Just az
pretty as she ever was in the eyes
Of Ailsa and Paul, for, of course, they
couldn't Wen be expected TO see the
lines of care that have come In her
face nor is ii likely they viii notice
the one or two white hairs that trou'
bic has sprinkled among the mass OF
brown Nor is II likely that Ailsa and
Paul notice a BIZ of difference In their
mother when she plays with Them on
the floor Of the nursery.
But they really are not very happy
Just as they are getting real good
and acquainted with papa again after
he has been away for a week, he bun
dies them up In his arms, bids them
good by starts off and they don't see
him again FOR week
And the very next day after papa
goes away. mamma comes rushing In.
smothers them with kisses, and when
they want to know where she has been
for a whole week just puts her finger
on her lips and says, Nov, sweet
hearts. no fair asking questions.
That is the way The grave and very
wise Justice has settled the troubles
of the little Mellon children
1t was ordered by the court that
Mr.. Mellon should Immediately Sc.
cure house for the children's use
Then they were to be Installed in 1t
with their guardian, and Mr. Mellon
was to be permitted to visit them for
one week and Mrs Mellon for the
next. and so on alternating until the
troubles should all be finally settled
And that's the way matters stand
now.
Fine Home for Children.
The Judge hadn't specified what
kind of a house the children should
have. so Mr. Mellon promptly went out
and found the incest one that was va

rooms and five bathrooms. and II real
ly is plenty large enough for Miss
Alsa and Master Paul
Their rooms are right side by side
and their guardian Is directly across
the hall Then at one end Of the house
is a yew nice, pretty sunny ROOM
that no one but Mrs Mellon uses and
at the other end Of the house there is
room that is kept for Mr. Mellon.
There are few other rooms set
aside for the servants, and the en-
tire remainder Of the house is Just one
big playroom
There aren't many people who have
ever been in this house, for the Mellon
children are too young to have many
callers. and it isn't likely their guard
ian would want them to have much
. company at present anyway.
n YOU happen to pass the house
some day you will be quite certain to
notice standing In the yard right close
by the side of the big house tiny
little place that is just as perfect a
house as you ever would want 10 see,
That Is Ailsas playhouse and 1t was
q present to her from her Grandpa
MellCn
Some people used to think that Ailsa
and Paul lived there IN that house, but
they really didn't, though In the sum
mer time, especially, they spent so
much lime in It that Il is no wonder
strangers thought they lived there.
Finest OF Playhouses.
II isn't at all likely there Is another
PLAYHOUSE In all the world quite as
nice as this ore. Ii has real furniture,
made to At IL, the finest little stove
you ever saw; curtains on the win
