CHAPTER XII.
The ZWeil)und.

On his second visit TO the sick man
lodged in the padded Injuries OF one of
the guest rooms at Mereside. made on
the morning following the Grierson
homecoming. Doctor Farnham found
the hospital status established. a good
natured Swede installed as nurse. the
bells muffied and Miss Margery play
ing the part of sister superior and
dressing it, from the dainty, felt-soled
slippers to the smooth banding of her
hair.
An hour later, however, it was the
Margery of the Wahaska renais-
sance, joyously clad and radiant, who
was holding the reins over big Eng
lish trap horse. parading down Main
street and smiling greetings to every
body.
BY one OF the chances which he was
willing to call fortunate. Edward Ray
mer was at the curb to help her down
from her high seat in the trap when
she pulled the big horse to stand in
front OF her fathers bank.
I'm the luckiest man in Red Earth
county; was just wondering when
should get in line to tell you how
glad we are to have you back" he
said. with his eyes shining
Are you, really? You are not half
as glad as am to be back. There is
no place like home, you know"
There isn't, and there oughtn't to
be-" was his quick response. I've
been hoping you'd come to look upon
Wahaska as your home. and now !

"Why shouldn't II" she laughed, and
she was reaching for a paper-wrapped
package on the trap seat when he got

Gertrude Raymer had once said In
her brothers hearing that Miss Grier'
sons color would be charming IL IL
were only natural. Looking into Miss
Grierson's eyes Raymer saw the refu
tation of the SANDER In the suffusine
wave OF generous embarrassment
deepening in warm tints on the perfect
neck and cheek.

retort.
Il don't see why" Raymer objected.
What would you think if Gertrude
did such a thing?"
"Oh, we'll; that is different In the
first place. Gertrude wouldn't do it,
and"
Precisely And Miss Grierson
shouldn't have done 1t. II is because
she can do such things that few

son to know. socially"
But why?" insisted Raymer. with
masculine obtuseness.
1t was his sister who undertook to
make the reason plain to him.
1T isn't anything she does, OF
doesn't do, particularly; it is the at.
mosphere in which she lives and
moves and has her being. II II weren't

for the way she fiared out at me
There isn't one young woman in a
thousand who would have had the
nerve and the courage to do it,
"Or the impudence," added Mrs
Raymer, when her son had left the
room. Then: 81 do hope Edward isn't
going to let that girl come between
him and Charlotte!"
The daughter laughed.
Il should say there is room for a
regiment to march between them. as
it is. Miss Gilman took particular
pains to let him know what train they
were leaving on, and l happen tC

Margery." Then the inevitable:
who Is he?"
She spread her hands in pretty az

Farnham, when l tell you that

Charlotte's father was a small man,

best-beloved physician.
