Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

TINE telephone bell rang with that
peculiar little tone commanding
prompt attention, which, if noted
in a church bell, and as promptly heed

saved.
Chauncey Devere Appleton was

one-sided conversation, each member

Narkom gave the man a glance from
the tail of his eye as they went up the

brief as that glance was, it was suffi-

that the man was not only strikingly
handsome. but bore himself with an air
