MRS. JAYNEs cLINos TO A MIS-
TAKEN IDEA.
BY MRS. EVA LEONARD.

There, there don't cry" soothed
Marjory as kneeling by the side of
Mollie Jaynes she felt the slight little
figure tremble with violent sobs.
stop crying and tell me all about it.
That will make you feel better"
Slowly the storm spent itself and the
tear stained face was lifted from Mar
jory's shoulder, her hands clasping a
wet ball of a handkerchief nervously. /
"Oh it is so cruel belated sob
caught her throat. II could be SO hap !

Clyde is grand to me, simply perfect.

so; and Father Jaynes and Julie
couldn't treat me better IL | really be-

You do belong TO them. l know
Mr.. Jaynes thinks you are the dearest
thing that ever happened" interrupted
Marjory. A ghost of smile rewarded
her for her effort to comfort her
friend.
One day I was trying very hard
to talk with her. She can't talk on
many subjects, you know. was
saying something about how Clyde had
settled down to work = I can't remem-
Der Just what-when she turned on me
fiercely with He has to settled down,
poor boy, to overcome the disgrace
you have brought on him. l was so
stunned at first I could not fully I'M
derstand what she meant, but she did
not leave me long in ignorance. l was
/ too dazed to remember all she said. l
am thankful for that, but it was some
thing about men who were 'roped in
by designing girls. If they could not
get them one way they would another.

heard, for / ran from the room and
locked myself in. l cried myself sick
and went to bed so 1 could decently
ask to have the room dark when Clyde
came home. l did not want him to see
my red eyes"
You disgrace Clyde, indeed"
breathed Marjory angrily, giving the
slight figure a conVulsive hug.
II have kept to my room almost
constantly since that time, only COM
ing downstairs when Clyde is at LONE,
or Father Jaynes. IL he comes in the
house, am the first one he asks for
and Julia comes running to fetch me
down. So she has not had much
chance to say anything else, but the
other day I had come in from down
street and stopped to warm myself
in front of the CRATE, as there was no
one In the big living room. She hap
pened in and stood looking at me. II
did not want to turn and run the min
ute she entered. Finally she said: II

famed Marjory you have Clyde

factory, and he can call and get you
on his way home to dinner at night"
How lovely of you" The tears
welled up in the brown eyes again.
And we can sew together every
afternoon and walk together. You
must have some exercise. Clyde will
think it is simply our congeniality

kissed the wet cheek in a motherlS
fashion. mo one except Mrs. Jaynes

such helpless, appealing little thing.
How could Mrs. Jaynes treat her as
she did," Marjory reflected angrily.
II will not have to see Mrs. Jaynes
alone at all with that plan" unused
Mollie. 81 never get UP to breakfast,
Clyde insisted on that, and as 1t left
me free to stay in my room undisturb-
ed all the morning l consented. l was
told to ring for my breakfast. To my
great surprise Julie came UP with 1t
the first morning and when l expost-
ulated she said she took 1t away from
the maid because she wanted " nave
an excuse to come and visit with ME.
So she brings it up every morning now
and we have the loveliest times togeth

Dear Julie. You must bring her
with you some time when you come
down here. What a life to be shut
up with that woman" Marjory's tone
was unlike her, it was so hateful.
