We managed to turn apparently un-

child, but the very room seemed tense
with the knowledge that never again
would old Mrs Morton want nor need
the little granddaughter she had adored

The little thing looked up in his face,

"No, noT' she returned quickly, but

I'll tell you in a minute" he said,
but just you, nobody else
We grasped his meaning in an in
slant, and the next moment saw Lillian
| softly closing the door with US all upon
the living room side.
I think the same question was in all
our hearts. Would he be able to reconcile
| the high strung. sensitive child to leav-
ing the house without seeing her grand
mother again? There was something in
his manner, however. which gave US all
confidence. even when we heard Marion S
sharp little cry:
| mo, no, she hasn't! Not without metz
| The deep murmur, like a caress Of
Robert Savarin's rich voice responded,
kept on uninterrupted. although we

To say that we worked like beavers in
the next few minutes would be a mild
expression. Lllian's directions flew fast,
tho while her deft fingers Invested Ma

garments suitable for travelling.

and underwear. Put those in also. And
Marion's hair ribbons and MILDLY ties
are in the top drawer. I'll put in her

What Marion Asked.
"I can dress myself, mammal" Ma

mother can do it for you, and we must
hurry as fast as we can. No time for

"You'Il have something better than
showers, Marion" interposed. There's
a most wonderful brook in which you can
splash to your hearts content every
day"
"oh, gcodie" Marion exclaimed. "And
mamma, you'll come. too, won't you, as
soon as you've gone to see grandma at
the splendid place the great new doctor
has taken her to make her well for
ever?''
So this was the way in which Robert
sayarin had pacified the child. Lillian
was quick tc take her cue
''Yes, dear, I'll come up there, too"
