wanted 30 much more sleep she never
knew tho difference. When she got
into her room sho found that there
also she was not alone. The wistfui
yoIfhound was curled plaintivoly
across her bed. which he overlapped.
From his nose he seemed To have been
dipping largely into the cup Of
chocolate somebody had brought to
her, and which she had forgotten 90
drink when she found II. on her first

"you aren't n bit high-mlndod,
snid Phyllis Indignantly. She was too
sleepy TO do more than shove him
over TO the back OF tho bed. ALI
the beds here are so-full," she COM
plained sieepiiy; and crawled inside
and never woke again till nearly
afternoon.
There was all the grave business
10 be done, IN the days that followed
of taking Mrs. Harrington to II quiet
place beside her husband. and draw
: ing together again the strings Of tho
a disorganixed household. Phyllis found
I herself whispering over and over
again:
..The sweeping up the heart
, And putting love away
A We shall not need TO use again,
Until the Judgment Day"
! And with all there was to sec after
Il was some days before she saw Allan
again, more than to speak TO brightly
as she crossed their common sitting
room. lie did not ask for her.
She looked after his comfort faith
fully, and tried 20 see to II that his
. man Wallis was all he should be-a
task which was almost hopeless. from
the fact that Wallis knew much more
|. about his duties than she did. even
: with Mrs. Harrington's painstakingly
} detailed notes to help her. Also his
; attitude to his master was OF such
untiring patience and worship thai
Il made Phyllis feel like a rude out
r slider interfering between man and
: wife.
However, Wallis was inclined TO APP
, prove Of his new mistress. who wa,
not fussy. seemed kind and had given
} his beloved Mr.. Allan nearly three
hours OF unbroken sleep.
: Allan had been little better ever
; since. Wallis had told Phyllis this
But she was inclined TO think that
the betterment was caused by the
counter shock of his mothers death,
which had shaken him from his
/ lethargy, and perhaps even given his
, nerves a better balance. And she In
, sisted that the pink paper stay on
the electric lights.
After ABOUT week OF tHis ihHi'S
suddenly remembered that she had
not been selfish at all yet. Where
was her rose garden-the garden she
