 Maj. GrantIand lifted me through the door Of the limousine as easily as If had been Jurior. and Dicky ar
 ranged me comfortably in the seat. leaning against him, with his arm around me, I put up my hand. drew the muffling folds Of the cloak away from my face and saw that my moth r-in-laS. with Junior sleeping in her arms. was seated on the other side of mo, and that my father was standing at the door nearest her. lean

 Maj. Grantland struck into the con- verEation abruptly.
 ''It is spring-and has all tho treachery of that season." he said au- thoritattvely. But as this car is closed wouldn't keep her wrapped too warmly"
