 But he didn't even do that long. for he got up and went over and looked at map hanging on the wall opposite. and at big timetable near the other corner Then he looked at his watch again with won't t-that -train-ever comef air, and walked back to me and sat down.

Of course. didn't play loud ones, nor very fast ones. and l was so scared I'm afraid l didn't play them very well. But he was very po- lite and said, Thank you, Mary and, That was very nice"; then he stood up and said. Thank you" again and went away into the library, very DO lite, but stiff, like company.
 The next evening he took me out to the observatory to see the stars. That was lovely. Honestly l had perfect y beautiful time, and l think Father did, too. He wasn't stiff and polite iI0polite or rude. It's Just that he wasn't stiff as If l was company. And he WAS so happy with his stars and his telescope. and so glad to show them to me-oh. l had a beautiful time, and l told him so; and he looked real pleased. But Aunt Jane came for me before I'd had half enough and l had to go to bed.
 The next morning l thought he'd he different, somehow. because wed had such a lovely time together the night before. But he wasn't. He just said, Good morning, Mary and began to read his paper. And he read his pa per all through breakfast without say ing another word to me. Then he got up and went into the library, and l never saw him again all day except at dinnertime and supper-time, and then he didn't talk to me.
 But after supper he look me out again to see the stars, and he was just as nice and friendly as could be. Not bit like man that's only a father by order of the court. But the next day.
