 And just then dog parked outside and somebody on the step stamped snow of his feet. We were both para lyzed for a moment.
 "Juliai" Ms. Dick cried, and went white.
 I made a leap for the door. just as sne handle turned, and put my back against it.
 Just a minute" called. "The car pet is caught under it."
 MT. Dick had lost his head and was making for the spring. as if he thought hiding his feet would conceal him. made frantic gestures to him to go into my pantry. and he went at last. leaving his hat on the table. left the door and flung it after him-the hat, of course. not the door-and when Miss Summers sauntered in just after, was on my knees brushing the hearth, with my heart going three four time and skipping every sixth beat.
 "Hello!" she said. Lovely weather flor polar bears. If the natives wade through this all winter it's no wonder they walk as if they are ham-strung. Don't bother getting me glass. I'll get my own"
 She was making for the pantry when caught her, and l guess 1 looked pretty wild.
 "I'll get it," I said. 'T-that's one of the rules"
 She put her hands in the pockets of her white sweater and smiled at me.
 Do you know" she declared, "the old ladies knitting society isn't so far wrong about you! About your making rules-whatever you want, whenever you want em."
 She put her head on one side.
 New" she went on, suppose break that rule and get my own glass? :? What happens to me? l don't think I'll be put cut!"
 l threw up my hands in despair, for was about at the end of my string.
 Get 1t then!" I exclaimed, and sat down, waiting for the volcano to erupt But she only laughed and sat down cn table, swinging her feet.
 When you know me better. Min nie," she said. you'll know I don't spoil sport. 1 happen to know you have somebody in the pantry-more- over, l know it's a man.

And just to show you what a good fellow l am"
 She got or the table, stin smiling. ana sauntered to the pantry door, watching me over her shoulder.
 My heart was skipping every second beat by that time, and Miss Julia stood by the pantry door, her head back and her eyes almost closed en- toying every minute of it. If ArabeIla hadn't made a diversion just then I think I'd have tainted.
 She'd pulled the newspaper and the tights off the table and was running around the room with them, one leg in her mouth.
 Stop it, Arabella!" said Miss Julia, and took the tights from her. Yours 9" she asked, with her eyebrows raised.
 'No-yes." l answered.
 I'd never suspect you of them!" she remarked.
 NIT. Sam and his wife came in at that moment, Mir. Sam carrying a bot tie of wine for the shelter-house, wrapped in paper, and two cans of something or other He was too busy trying to make the bottle look like something else-which a good many people have tried and failed at-to notice what Miss Summers was doing. and she had Miss Cobb's protectors stuffed in her mud and was standing very dignitied in front of the fire by the time they'd shaken of the snow.
 Good morning." she said.
 Morning." said MT. Sam, hanging up his overcoat with one hand, and try ing to put the bottle in one of his pockets with the other. Mrs. Sam didn't look at her.
 Good morning, Mrs. Van Alstyne," Miss Summers almost threw it at her. l'I spoke to you before; I guess you didn't hear me"
 "Oh. yes, I heard you" answered Mrs. Sam, and turned her back on her. Give me a little Hght-haired woman for sheer devilishnessl
 I'd expected to see Miss Summers fly to pieces with rage, but she stared at Mrs. Sam's back. and after min ute she laughed.
 T seei" she remarked slowly. You're the sister. aren't you?"
 Mir. Sam had given up trying to hide the bottle and now he set it on the floor with a thump and came over to the fire.
 'It's-you see. the situation is em- barTassing," he began. Under the circumstances, don't you think t would be-er-better form if--er-under the circumstances"
