pink gown. What should she do?
It was just then that Mrs. De
Guenther's crisply spoken advice
came. Phyllis was one Of those
people whose first unconscious
instinct is to obey an order. She
bent blindly to Allan's lips, and
kissed him with a child's obedi-
ence, then Strengthened up,
aghast. He would think her very
bold!
Most of the short evening was
spent celebrating the fact that
Allan had thrown something at
Wallis, who was recalled to tell
the story three times in detail.
Then there was the house to dis
cuss.
Let me tell you, Allan" said
Mrs. De Guenther, this wife of
yours is a wonder. Not many
girls could have had a house in
this condition two weeks after
it was bought.
Allan looked at Phyllis.
YES" he said consideringly.
'"She certainly is"
At a certain slowness In his
tone, Phyllis sprang up. You
must be tired to DEATH" she
said. at must be nearly 10. Dc
you feel worn out?"
Before he could say anything,
Mrs. De Guenther had also risen,
and was sweeping away her hus-
band.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-02-24

he had thrown 1t, with a move
ment that put to use the muscles
of the long-disused upper arm.
Wallis sat suddenly down and
caught his breath.
"Mr. Allan!" he said. do you
know what you did then? You
threw, and you haven't been able
to use more than your forearm
before! oh, Mr.. Allan, you're
getting better."
Allan himself lay in astonish-
ment at his feat. and forgot to be
angry for a moment. 81 certain
ly did," he said.
And the way you lost your
temper" went on Wallis, enthus-
iastically. "Oh, Mr.. Allan. 1t was
beautiful! You haven't been
more than to say snarly since the
accident! It. was so like the way
you used to throw hair brushes"
But at the mention of his lost
temper Allan remembered to lose
II still farther. He demanded
presently where he was going.

"A little place called Wallraven-

80 the DeGuenthers are in it,
too" said Allan. What the dick
ems has this girl done to them to
hypnotic them so?"
But I've heard say it's a very
pretty place. SIR" was all Wallis
vouchsafed to this. The DeGuen-
theirs were not the only people
Phyllis had hypnotized.
Phyllis rose garden house had
among other virtues, the charm of
being near the little station. There
, were more trees to be seen in
Allan's quick passage from the
train to the long old carryall
(whose seats had been removed
to make room for his cot) than
he had remembered existed. He
ordered the flapping black oil

1t had been. His spine never said
a word. Perhaps it, too, enjoyed
having a change from a couch in
a dark city room.
They saw no one in their pas
sage through the long, low, old
house. Phyllis evidently had
learned that Allan didn't like his
carvings about done before peo-
pie.
Wallis seemed to be acting un-
der a series of detailed orders. He
and Arthur carried their master
to a long, well-lighted room al
the end of the house, and deftly
transferred him to couch much
more convenient, being newer
than the old one. On this he was
wheeled to his adjoining bedroom
and when Wallis had made him
comfortable there, he left him
mysteriously for a while.

and the lights were on. They

Allan awakening from his leth-

And where did you get those

Wallis laid his now fully dress

and tucked handkerchief, into
the appropriate pocket as he re-
piled: Grant & Monkeys, SIR.

wheeled the couch back to the day
room, over to its very door.
1t did not occur to Allan, as he
was being carried downstairs by
Wallis and Arthur, another of the
servants. that anything more than
a change of rooms was intended
nor, as he was carried out at its
door to a long closed carriage,
that It was anything worse than

that drives would be good for

came from nowhere in particular,

but not where they interfered
with tracing out the advcntures
of the paper people, wete q good
many pictures. quite incdhgruous.
for they were of the Remington
type men like. but pleasent to see,
nevertheless. The furniture was
chintz-covered and gay. There
was not one thing in the room to
remind a man that he was an in
valid. IL occurred to Allan that
Phyllis must have put a good deal
of deliberate work on the place.
He lay contentedly, watching the
crate fire, and trying to trace out
the story of the paper, for at
least a half-hour.- He found HIM
self at length, much to his own
surprise, thinking with certain
longing of his dinner-tray. He
was thinking of 1t more and more
interestedly by the time Wallis
trayless-came back.
"Mr. and Mrs. DeGuenther and
the young madam are waiting for
you in the living ROOM" he an
swered. "Shey would be glad If
you would have supper with
them"
VERY WE'LL" said Allan, ami
ably, still much to his own SUI
prise.
The room Wallis wheeled him
into was a long, low one, VAIN
scoted and bare floored. It was
furnished with the best imitation
of Chippendale to be obtained in
hurry, but over and obove there
were cushioned chairs and couch
es enough for solid comfort.
There was fire here also. An
old-fashioned half-table Wsainst
the wall was covered with a great
many picnicky things to eat. And
there were the De Guenthers and
Phyllis. On the whole, 1t felt
very like a welcome-home.
Phyllis, in a satiny rosecolor-
ed gown he had never seen be-
fore. came over to his couch to
meet him with her hand out,
seemed about to speak. then
backed, flushed, and acted as IL
something had frightened her
badly.
SIS she as afraid of me as all
that?" thought Allan. Wallis
must have given her lurid ac-
count of how he had behaved.
His quick impulse was to reas-
sure her.
well, Phyllis, my dear, you
certainly didn't bother me with
plans this time!" he said, smil-
ing. This is bully surprised"
Tin glad you like it." said
his wife shyly, still backing away.
, "Of course he'd like it," said
Mrs. DeGuenther's kind staccato
voice behind him. kiss Nyour
husband and tell him he's well
come home, Phyllis child"
Now, Phyllis was tired with
much hurried work, and over
strung. And Allan, lying there
smiling boyishly up at her, Allan
seen for the first time In these
usual-looking gray man, clothes,
was like neither the marble Cru
sader she had feared nor the
heartbroken little boy she had
pitied. He was suddenly her con-

attractive young fellow, a little

Wallis had appeared BY this
tine, and was wheeling Allan
from the room before he had q
chance to say much of anything
but goodnight.
Phyllis fluns herself full
length on the rugs and pillows
before the-f fire, too tired to move
further.
Well, she had everything that
she had wished for on that wet
February day in the library. Per-
haps-perhaps she could make
Allan Harrington like her as
much as the children did. If she
could stay brave enough and kind
enough and bright enough !"
her eyelids dropped. Wal
lis was standing over her.
Mrs. Harrington" he was say

ing of her attitude on the rug,

An amazing message! Had she
been i'm the habit of 1t, that he
demanded it like a small bay? But
she sprang up and followed Wal
lis into Allan's room. He was
lying back In his white silk
sleeping things among the white
bed draperies, looking as he al
ways had before.
Phyllis" he began eagerly, as
she sat down beside him, what
made you so frightened when |
first came? Wallis hadn't worried
you. had he?"
"Oh. no: 1t wasn't that at ALL"
said Phyllis. "And thank you for
being so generous about it all"
81 wasn't generous" said her
husband. 81 behaved like every
thing to old Wallis about it. Well,
what was it, them"
"-I-only-you looked so diff
ferent in-clothes," pleaded Phyl-
lis, like any man my age or
older-as if you might get up
and go to business, or play tennis
or anything, and-and l was
afraid of you! That's all, truly"
"Why, that sounds truthful"
said Allan, and laughed. 1t was
the first time she had heard him
and she gave a start. Such a
clear, cheerful, young laugh!
Maybe he would laugh more. by
and by, If she worked hard to
make him,
Goodnight, Allan" she said.
| Aren't you going to kiss me
good-night?" demanded this new
Allan, precisely as If she had been
doing it ever since she met him.
Evidently that kiss three hours
ago had created a precedent.
Phyllis colored to her ears. But
she mustn't cross Allan, tired as
he must be!
Goodnight, Allan" she said
again sedately, and kissed his
cheek as she had done a month
ago-years ago!-when they had
Ibeen married. Then she fled.

"How did Mr.. Allan pass the
lnight?" Phyllis asked Wallis anx-
tiously, standing outside his door
next morning. She had been UP
since 7, speeding the parting
guests and interviewing the cook
and chambermaid. Her town
housekeeper's choice had been
cheerful to a degree, and black,
