there. The cook will feed you. When
you feel like doing bit Of work, why,
do 1t. When you don't, there won't be
anybody to say anything but me, and
I'll be easy with you"
So It happened that old Mary, com.
[ortably ensconccd in Miss Mary's
kitchen, received message which
told her that old John had escaped the
poorhouse. 1t gave her the address
of the garage, and told her that her
husband would go to see her as soon
as his rheumatic" would permit.
Time passed. One morning Mary's
maid came to her room with serious
face. "Old Mary's too sick to get up
she announced dolefully.
AS soon as she was dressed, Miss
Mary went to her protege's room. Old
Mary was really Ill. Ste was going to
die. she felt quite sure. Couldn't she
see her John once more before she
went?
So Miss Mary wrote note at old
Mar|'s dictation. 1t said: Dear
John, ! am sick, maybe dying. Iwant
you. Come at once. Mary"
The note was sent and when II
reached its destination it threw old
John into panic. Mr.. John was
away, but the chauffeur advised the
old man to go to his wife at ollce.
Leave the note on the boss desk"
he suggested. "Then he'll know why
you had to go in a hurry"
Mr.. John came back from a bust.

Mary came running down the stairs,
Z her face beaming. She had double
cause to be happy-she was going out
to spend the evening with her lover
and she had a new and beautiful gown.
What more could a girl want?
AS she entered the reception room,
John rose to greet her. She paused

Tears rose instanter to dim the
brightness of Mary's blue eyes. She
looked at him, mutely reproachful.
3st"Why?" she asked, after long
pause.
But specific explanation was quite
beyond John. He did not like the
dress. That much he knew. He could
not find any definite fault with 1t. He
did not even insist, as some men might
have done, that it did not appeal to
him. He simply stood and gazed dis.
appointingly at 1t, and under the shad-
gow Of that look Mary broke down and
wept openly. Then, without another
word, she ran from the room.
John sat him down again and wait.

not 60 out with him in q dress he
did not like. She had gone to change

seal lof his approval.
& But when a half hour had passed
and Mary had not returned to him,
John began to have misgivings. At
\ the end Of another ten minutes, he
rang the bell and requested the maid
who answered It to say to Miss Mary
that he was waiting.
When the maid returned she handed
him q note and a tiny package. John
