A deplorable accident occurred at
S:52 this morning when Mrs. Lena
Harper was struck by the outgoing

Had she known it, however, I was not in the least dis turbed by my mother-in-Iaw's dis agreeable comments. I knew that she had no such opinion of my careless ness as she expressed. and was simply voicing in this fashion her childish chagrin at not being the recipient of a similar gift 10 the ones Mrs. Durkee and I had received.

I'd as soon have a trained leopard in my room."s A thermometer test of my feelings at this moment would have seen them descending swiftly below the zero mark.

But to be shut in alone with Rita Brown for the journey! In Major Grantland's phrase-which returned with crushing irony to my mind-it was "unthinkable."
 But knew that common decency would compel me to ask the girl to share my dressing room, especially as Mother Graham had insisted upon taking Junior with her. I could not travel in state alone while the little bride to be was so crowded. I knew subtly, too, that little Mrs. Durkee expected such a proffer from me. Cattily I resolved that I would make no announcement of my intention un- til the very last moment possible, when Miss Brown-as had been rf he nd- at the station upon the night of our departure.
