 'Now, dad, for heavens sake, don't you get started on the tariff''
 ssNo, John,H Mrs. Blount Uttered. q wish had a dollar for every hour I've had to hsben to that stuff" She turn ed her eyes on Walter. ''I wish, my dear" she said in tones expressive of deepest maternal pride, '1that you'd go and ask Lucene to please hurry.''
 Walter stood up obedient1y.
 "Yes, mother,'' he said, If you will excuse me to our guests.' And he hurried from the room.
 Blount took advantage of the refer ence to the daughter of the house to enter again into the conversational arena.
 "Yes, MT. Wainwright, and you, doc tor, we're. just naturally some proud of that girl of ours. You might think four years in France would spoil a girl. So it mtght-some of them, I guess. But not our grill Why, Lucene Is just crazy to get home again-out to Laramie, Wyo.''

 Blount waved an arm in vehement denial.
 Then the visitors stood up quickly looking toward the doorway. Lucene had paused there. and her blue eyes now darlly 1ustrous, were fixed on Wainwright in a gaze that penetrat- ed to his soul.
