Dicky tenderly. Dicky always calls
me little" when he is in tender
mood, although l am quite above the
average woman in stature, within two
inches of his own height, in fact.
II thought Of asking you to take q
little stroll with me tonight" Dicky
went on, "but it's too comfortable
right here at home. feel at peace
with the world tonight"
The ringing Of the telephone bell
punctured Dicky's words. He was WIS.,
IDLY annoyed, but to me the sound
was a relief Anything was better
than Dicky's childlike enjoyment Of
our home contrasted with my know
ledge Of how soon must spoil it.
He went to the telephone and took
down the receiver. Then l heard the
puzzling kalf-conversation which al
ways falls to the lot of the outside
listener.
"Yes?" Dicky never answered "Hel-
10" over the telephone, but always
says "Yes?' with the rising infection
1t is one of his mannerisms which
like.
"Oh, LII? You're sounding fine"
Great"
"oh, yes; she's telling bully. Had
bad headache yesterday, but she's
all right today"

send for an amateur like you when
there is professional like me in the
house?"
You don't need to take my word
for 1t. Ask Madge. She'll vouch for
my ability ss a nurse"
"Why, / don't know. Nothing par
ticular. Why?"
Then there was long pause in
Dicky's end Of the conversation. Even
at my chair at the farther end of the
room / could hear the raucous tones
of Lillian Gales voice as they struck
,, against the sounder of the telephone.
l could not distinguish what she said,
but she was evidently very enthusias-
tic about something, for she talked
very fast, and her tones showed earn
estness
Well, we're very comfortable where
we are, thank you, but I'll ask her"
Dicky put down the receiver and
stuffed one of his handkerchiefs into
the transmitter Then he walked over
to me, and standing with his back to
the telephone, spoke In almost a whis-

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY
OF SAYING WHAT YOU MEAN

Smiles on my lips, which forced
to remain; tears in my eyes which I
dared not shed-these marked the de-
licious little dinner which Katie serv-
ed Dicky and ME after my notifying
financial experience. The knowledge
that before the evening closed l
should have to tell Dicky I had paid
his long ignored bill to Touraine Bros.
and brave his certain wrath for med
ding in his affairs, weighed heavier
upon me each moment. That | must
also confess that the paying of the
bill had left me penniless, and must
ask Dicky for more money, no matter
what mood he might be in, Inundated
me almost beyond endurance.
"Missis Graham, you are not eating
one ting. what the matter? Amt 1t
cooked the right way?"
Katie's worried voice brought Dicky
to his feet with a start. He had been
in such gay spirits, and SO absorbed
III his rattling, amusing account OF the
days happenings that had been able
to conceal from him my real feelings

the .petting and tender care I knew

troubles when all Of his protecting

it would be impossible for him to be

But IL Is as impossible for me to do
any of these things as it would be
