Jabberng out all her pentup excitement not
word of which June had heard. she helped the color

mothered around her with solicitude which was
fully as lively her tongue and far more sincere.
June might well have been alone for all that

How she wished they had found her, And great
food of love surged up in her. She must them!

impulse to hurry straight after Them but her knees
bent under her. She had not known how much this
sudden emotion had taken away her strength. The
Widow Okeefe pressed her tendery back in her
chair. and Sammy held glass to her lips and
spilled trickle of water on her chin. She smiled
at them both. for she very fond of them: then
the widow drove Sammy from the room and put
June the bed and took Off her little shoes. and
drew the blinds, and left her alone TO cry it
And the Widow Okeefe rasped her own eyes with
lumpy knuckles as she closed the door.
June sat suddenly bolt upright and dried her eyes
and hunted for her shoes. How bare everything
looked in the room. Why. everything gone!
And where was Marie?
Marie had just turned the corner of Officer Dowd's
post when there came swiftly toward her family
limousine which she remembered with a jump in
her breast

unnecessary. That good chauffeur had used both
brakes, and the Moores. the Betherings and Ned
Warner all tried TO crowd out of the door. While
the agtated Bobby blocked the doorway Ned rushed
after Marie but he suddenly found himself breast

The coast still clear when, few minutes lat

In front of one Of the tallest Of those mighty tow

portals OF majesty which would have graced a

this entrance, did not notice peculiar circumstance

Her nose was perfectly modelled her eyes were full

travagantly gowned and glittering with Jewels but
the most remarkable thing in connection with her
was the transformation in the severe man. He had
been changed from metal into wax, his eyes had
come TO life, and on his lips a smile.

And he glanced apprehensively toward his private

hands casped on a cane, sat nervously.

woman glanced around the reception ROOM Her
glance swept Just above the head Of Mrs. Willard.

In the meantime Mrs Willard had stopped in front
of Gilbert Bye's magnificent club A short, wide,

And to Mrs. Wizards nod he lifted his hat, and the
car drove away. Blye gave the fat quarter
