ssThe InSider''
BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water

Cores room, talking over some new
frocks she and I were planning for
Grace's spring outfit.
l started to the door as I heard
the summons. l noticed that Mrs.
Gore stood still, listening.
Tom Is Delighted
Miss Dart" Brewster Norton said,
remember you are to dine with us
at seven -thirty-the usual dinner
hour tonight. That is to be an es-
tablished custom hereafter. Don't
forget it, please"
''If'-I hesitated, "if Grace"
But he interrupted me. There's
no if about it! We went over all
that the other day, you know. Grace
will have her supper at the hour at
which she always has it, thus leaving
you an abundance of time to get her
into bed before our dinner time.
Good morning!'
He was gone before 1 could voice
any further protest, even had
dared to do so. Mrs. Gore said
nothing and | made no comment on
the new order. L could but obey.
Thus 1T came about that I was
present that night when Mr.. Norton
gave the results of his investigations
about and conversations with Hugh
Parker
Tom" he remarked, "I carried
out to-day the program I told you of
this morning. sent for Mr.. Parker
and had long and satisfactory talk
with him at my Office"
The boy looked eagerly at his
father. but did not ask a question.
I'VE have agreed upon terms" Mr..
Norton continued, land he is to
come out to Hillcrest at the close of
school in June. He will spend the
entire summer with us as your
tutor. That's off my mind-and it's
on yours. I shall expect you to
prove to me that the arrangement
is good one"
Mrs. Gore looked blankly from
Brewster Norton to his son. "Am I
to understand" she asked, that Mr..
Parker is to spend the whole sum-
mer at Hillcrest?"
Yes" her brother-in-law replied.
in matter-of-fa manner, "he is
to coach Tom during vacation and
prepare him for his fall eXamina-
tions."
81 thought" she ventured timidly,
and yet with a flash of temper in
her eyes and a quiver in her voice,
that Tom was going away to sum-

gone to Connecticut" she repeated.

81 had to run UP on business" Mr..
Norton said by way of explanation.
You asked, darling, if it was pretty
up there. | suppose it was pretty
out at Hillcrest. but I was not
there"
where were you?" she queried.
I'm a big business building" he
told her. Then, as if to change the
subject he turned to Tom.
We'll, son. and what have you
been doing?"
Nothing especial" the boy re-
piled.
You were not out late last even
ing, were you?" his father observed.

came in about 11.30."

rejoined.
Then why are you so pale this
morning." the parent asked. Don't
you feel well?"
yes, sir, 1 feel we'll enough" the
boy answered.
Catching his eye, raised my brow
significantly. lie must make more
effort to be pleasant to his father.
Tom, seeing my signal, shook him
self out of his self-absorption.
"You know, father" he ventured,
that | am going back to school to-
morrow"
YES" Mr.. Norton said, 1T know it
and I want to have a little talk
with you some time to-day or this
evening"
At this moment Julia brought in
the mail and laid it by her master
plate. AS he finished his breakfast
he pushed his chair back from the
table and began to open his letters
, and glance through them. Suddenly
he looked up at me and started to
speak, then thought better of 1t.
A Recommendation
But as we left the dining room he
said:
Miss Dart, would like moment
with you. Kindly step over into the
library"
He followed me as 1 did his bid
ding. He held an open letter IN MS
hand.
You were kind enough" he began
without further preliminary, Ito be
interested in Tom, so / thought you
might like to know that have here
a letter from the principal of Tom S
school. He has known Hugh Par
ker for years and speaks very highly
of him"
II was sure of that started to
saw. Then-"I am glad"
$50 am l." he went on. Il had a
little talk with Parker himself the
other night, and am pretty sure we
can get him to tutor Tom next sum-
mer." ,
II am glad" I said again. Then
the matter is virtually settled?"
YES may as we'll tell Tom so,
he replied.
My heart gave a glad throb. Mrs.
Gore had forgotten in the stress of
other emotions, to complain of Tom.
If the arrangements for the summer
could be completed at once, her OBJ
jections would be useless.
TONI" Mr.. Norton called, step
ping to the door. Come here,
please!"
AS the lad entered ! slipped out
of the room and left father and son
alone.

tween her own small room and
on the way she tried to crush down
the feelings that were rising in her
heart. Why had she been so anX-
ious to look we'll tonight? Why
had she fused over her clothes in
a way most unusual? Because she
wanted to look we'll for Dick Arm
strong!. And she confessed the
shameful truth at last to herself. Be-
cause she was drawn to him in
spite of herself.
And he cares nothing at all for
you," she muttered half aloud as
she walked quickly through the early
dusk. II never thought your pride
would fall so low, Karen Mikal!"
Why did she like Dick? Why
couldn't she feel more than CRATE
full toward his brother with the kind
eyes and the gentle, courteous man
ner? Was she child, to be taken
with a pair of hot blue eyes, and a
lent, overbearing manner?
She threw her shoulders back de-
terminedly as she finally turned in
at Dicks corner, and when she fl
nally began the long ascent to the
studio she was outwardly her cold,
calm exterior. Love, when it came
to Karen Mikal, would not be the
garden variety, it would be quick
passionate, all absorbing, the kind of
a love that men used to die for, Ka-
ren's feelings were governed by just
GfrnnUnF h in
domitable pride, which as a check
to her emotions was a necessity.
She knocked at the door of the
top floor, and the door was opened
Immediately by Dick himself. The
next moment she stood in the wide,
shadowy studio. But where were the
preparations for the supper party?
She turned to Dick inquiringly, and
met his eyes full. For the first time
she realized that she was here, in
his room, alone with him.
