You might as well know, mother, "

Nov don't go on making that mis-
take, mother. Mary is too good for
Jack any day"
''If he had only married some one

81 would have been just the same.
He would not have been true to her,
mother"
What do you mean, Dick? Do
you know you are talking about your
brother?"
81 certainly do-and / am ashamed
of him. He always was a fool about
women, but l thought he would get
over it when he got older. One can

to pieces in this way, so Dick and
both waited until she had gotten
calmer and then she said: 81 can't live
in this house, where have been so
happy. l must leave and leave at
once"
AS though fate was in league with
coincidence, the telephone bell rang
at this minute and Mollie asked for
her mother.
After it had been explained to her
about Jack and her mothers inability
to come to the phone, she said: 'Tel
mother, Dick, that Mr.. HattOn will
take the house furnished, if she
wants to rent it to him, his foster
mother and brother. He wants to
take possession the first of the
month. This will give us a week to
put things in shape and find a place
to live"
Little book, you never saw such a
metamorphOsis as that phone mes
sage made in Mother Waverly.
That is just the thing to do, Dick"
she said Immediately, Tell Molhe
TO say TO Mr.. HattOn we VIII rent
him the house for a year at 500 a
month. Tell him to come up tonight
and see how he likes it."
She stepped to the door and called
her maid. Lucy, we must have the
house in fine order, for am going to
have some people here tonight to
look at it with a view of renting it
You had better start at the top
floor and work down.
els the laundress here? If she has
not started the clothes take her with
you. We will keep her the entire
week and put the house in order"
Dick looked at me and smiled, say
ing, Come on, Margie; Mother wants
to get to work.
do you want me to help you
