''I shant in the least mind your go
ing" Peggy treasured him. "a he
started out I'm dreadfully sleepy.
and I'm afraid I should have been
quite stupid II you had stayed
home"
Three or four nights out OF the
week Clay returned 20 his Office. and
as often Peggy. apparently uncom-
plainiugly. professed perfect will
ingness 20 retire early and forget
her loneliness. One evening that
Clay had intended TO devote 20 his
correspondence the vision of Peggy
IN new evening frock changed his
mind. II was one Of those exquisite
ly simple gowns that experience had
taught Clay TO know were the most
expensive kind. But even this
knowledge did not spoil the pleas
ure he took IN beholding his pretty
wife so attractively dressed TO meet
him.
do you very much Ike this
Dress Peggy asked him after they
had finished dinner. IT can really
tell that you do just by the way YOU
look at It." And then. not waiting
for Clay's enthusiastic response.
Peggy went on: ct never could keep
n secret, so 7 just have 20 tell YOU
that I made e." She paused
moment and watched. and not find
ing a reproving frown on Clavs
face she went on. And 7 have
cooked dinner every night for two

dinner. which she seemed 10 eat
with a relish. And more than once
she stopped to give directions TO the
waitress
DO you think the new cook viii
do?" she asked. knowing well
enough that Clay never had a word
70 say about the household manage
ment. You know. I had 70 dis
miss Brady. I think this one is
rather better"
Yes; that cavtarre was delicious. q"
Clay had presence OF mind enough
to say; and then, venturing into an
unaccustomed field of inquiry. he
added: Il suppose wages are ad-
vancing even with cooks."
Pegg,, pouted. with a playful note
OF annoyance
yes; I really had TO agree to
$40 this time. I suppose 7 shall
have 70 make an increase If 7 am TO
keep her"
Hay Clay found it possible to
throw Off his air Of preoccupation
more easily. he might have remain
ed at home that first evening. But
so eager was he 10 begin the work
that would make the sending of q
check for a thousand dollars pos
sible that he excused himself after
dinner 10 return 10 his office. BY
s o'clock he was busy with the
files. bringing his correspondence
up to date, so that the burden OF his
later work would not be too heavy.

wants thu his income warrented
Clay had read in the papers about
economies in food planning that
various society women had been
making He vaguely recalled an
effort 10 limit dinners 20 four
courses. No doubt the food bills
were high in his household; as he
never discussed those expenses with
Peggy, and noticed very little about
the minutire OF household man
agement. he could only conjecture
on this point Doubtless her dress
makers bills were heavier than
need be. But Clay's own mother
had taught him that a man
shouldn't expect 70 have a wife
dress exquisitely without running
up bills at the dressmaker And
since he had chosen a wife that did
dress eXquisitely. he never even
looked at the dressmaker' bills.
And he couldn't cut out the
country club, because Peggy had
asked him TO join, and he couldn' {
sell any Of the grounds because they
were the delight of Peggys heart.
lie couldn't reduce his own tailor's
bills. because they were already re-
duced 10 a minimum-he did that
when he bought his share Of Lib
erty bonds. And re didn't smoke
and ne didn't drink, so he could
not cut out those habits He al
most felt that il would have been
blessing if he had had some ex-

, Because it was killed by a buI-
let instead Of a shot
But ] fired"
And into the treetOps. probably.
What sort OF a looking man wac
he?"
"A young man.
Did you have any dispute with
him?"
Why I said he was no gentle
man"
Maybe he isn't, but he shot that
rabbit sure enough"
The rabbit was given 20 the dog
and nothing was said 70 the sister.
Mans conscience began 20 trouble
her. Il was a settled thing that she
had not killed that rabbit. and had
not come within forty rods OF il.
What she had done was 10 come
within an ace OF grievouslv injur-
[ ing or killing a young man. and
/ then telling him 10 his face that he
was no gentleman. She was
thoroughly ashamed Of herself.
( She wished she could let him know
that she was SOrry
In the middle OF the next morn
ing on the next day the hired man
was asked II he had seen the girl
anywhere around He hadn't, but
when he found the gun MISSING, re
asked himself.
Now, then, is 81 rabbits or a
young man."
There were three or four rabbits
in the lower orchard as the girl
passed along. but she offered them
no violence She no longer cared
cent for rabbit pie
Three or four crows sat on the
fence and cawed at her, but she did
not so much az call shoe at
them.
What she did was 80 walk slow
~ 10 the spot in the woods where
poor bunny had met his sad end
the dav previous and sit down. d.
was nearly an hour before she rose
up. and then because she heard the
scuffing footsteps OF a human be-
ing.
II am glad 20 find YOU here
said Mr.. Robbins an Nan faced him.
OF want TO beg your pardon On
thinking the matter over. ] am sure
YOU killed that rabbit
But ] am sure that ! didn't.
and that YOU did. and FIR is for me-
70 apologize
But ~
But 70
And then they sat down on log
and talked Of rabbits. and guns.
and falling leaves. and crops. and
fire insurance and lots of other
things. When Miss Nan returned 20
the house the hired man called outs
Wei, didn't YOU get him
Perhaps, was the reply as she
hurried into the house

veeks-ever since the last cook
went on. never meant 20 tell you
that. too. but you know 7 can't keep
a secret. and n you ever found out
you'd hate me for deceivinE you.
You see. the Girls IN my class at col
lese we're getting up a fund for an
ambulance and OF course. they look
20 me 20 help a little But knew
you couldn't endure having two
course dinners or seeing me dressed
IN a shirtwaist in the evening. so I
decided 20 go along Twins Just a.
we always had. and I'd save the
cooks wages and my dressmalcer's
bin by doing a little myself And
that caviarre we had the other niEht
wasn't caviarre at all, IL was Just
mock caviarre made out OF sardines.
Nelly's been a trump and has done a
lot 20 help me with the cooking.
And nights when you do stay home
she does the dishes all alone. and
the nights when You don't we really
have fun together So that's my
secret"
Half an hour later Clay and Peggy
IN the roadster were speeding to-
ward Clay's office. and half an hour
after that they were home again.
And with Peggy at his side. clay

in his library. his task a hundred
times easier because 10 was no long

difficult art when in college. He

would amount to just S1.040. That
