Envy Mason telephoned
her abrupt demand.
You must meet me down on the
path between our place and yours.
We have to be sure that no one will
interrupt. l suppose you haven't
lunched yet. Let's see-it's ten min
utes TO one now. I'll meet you at
three. You'll be able to get away
from Virginia by then. Meet me at

Eyes. I'll be there" 1 replied
crisply. although somewhat to my
own astonishment.
But Evvy's tone held what would
not be denied. She seemed to be
taking charge OF the situation-ab-
solute charge, as she had that ter
rible day when she lifted her eyes
and loked at me over the body OF
Sheldon Blake lying inert and life
less in her arms.
Those words of the long ago day
down at the foot OF the ravine be-
tween our estates were:
"Anne, &C me lay your hand on
his heart"
That command OF Evvy's kept
ringing in my ears all through
luncheon. SO ] only half listened
to everything Virginia said until
the point when she asked;
81 suppose you'il want to keep
Hedwig on here until she gets an
other position|'
FAITHFUL HEDwIG.
Then pulled myself together and
forced my attention away from the
problem OF what Envy could want
of me and around TO the need of the
moment. That was to protect faith
full Hedwig.
Cant you use Hedwig out here,
Jeanie?"} asked. with me as a
semi-permanent extra-lady. I think
there'll be plenty of work for her.
Suppose you let me contribute her
as my share toward the household
you're so generously inviting me to
visit"
Would that make you feel more
at home" asked Virginia.
Yes. indeed it would"
'If you like having Hedwig here,
Anne. keep her on. And II you want
to feel that there's someone to do
odd jobs for you. why shouldn't you

that's going to be mine for

"As long as you like, dear" re-
piled Virginia shrewdly.
At quarter to three l slipped
into a warm coat and hurried down
the stairs and out the front en-
trance.
Not until was almost at my des-
tination did / realize that this was
exactly the route I'd taken the
night before Lane left Dreamwold
with Val. I refused, however, to
let myself think of that.
NEW CYCLE OF WORRIES.

What Million
Is

Although we often speak OF mill
lions OF dollars and millions in pop
ulation few realize what a million
OF anything looks like.
An idea OF the impressiveness OF
a million can be gained by looking
at the stars visible. yet as a matter
or fact there are never more than
500 visible TO the naked eye at one
thine.
The simplest way to conceive OF a
million Is TO think OF IL In terms Of
time. For instance, there have not
been a million days since the found
ing OF Rome. long before the birth
Of Christ. A million days ago would
take us back. TO early in the year
SIT Il. G.
A million hours are ia years, 20
days and 4 hours. This was almost
as far back as the battle OF Trafsl-
gar and was before the invention Of
the steamboat or the printing ma
chine. ..
