To MT. Deacon comes Bobby Lar kin, recently graduated high-school youth, secretly enamored of Dea- cons elder daughter, Diana, an ap- plicant for a "job" around the Deacon house. He is engaged The family is excited over the news of an approaching visit from Dea- cons brother Ninian, whom he had not seen for many years. Deacon jokes with L-lu, with subtle mean ing, concerning the coming meet ing. Lulu is interested and specu- lative, meanwhile watching with something like envy the boy-and- girl love-making of Bobby and Di- ana Unexpectedly, Ninian arrives Thus he becomes acquainted with Lulu first and in a measure under stands her position in the house. To Lulu, Ninian is a much-traveled man of the world, and even the slight interest which he takes in her is appreciated, because 1t Is something new in her life.

 %And a year before that the first one died-and two years they were mar ried," he computed. q never met that one. Then it's close to twenty years since Bert and have seen each other"
 ''How awfulP Lulu said, and flushed again.
 "WhyT"
 gro be that long away from your folks"
 Suddenly she found herself facing this honestly, as if the immensity of her present experience were clarifying her understanding Would it be so aw- ful to be away from Bert and Monona and Dives, and Ina, for twenty years?
 ''You think that?" he laughed. "A man don't know what he's like till he's roamed around on his own" He liked the sound of 1t. "Roamed around on his own," he repeated, and laughed again. Course a woman don't know that"
 ''Why don't she?" asked Lulu. She balanced a pie on her hand and carved the crust. She was stupefied to hear her own question. "Why don't sheT"
 Maybe she does Do yOu?"
 'Yes," said Lulu.
 Good enoughl" He applauded noiselessly, with fat hands. His dia- mond ring sparkled, his even white teeth flashed. ''Tve had twenty years of galloping about" he informed her, unable, after all, to transfer his inter- ests from himself to her.
 'Where7" she asked. although she knew.
 South America. Central America. Mexico. Panama" He searched his memory. Colombo" he superadded. 'MyP said Lulu. She had probably never in her life had the least desire to see any of these places. She did not want to see them now. But she wanted passionately to meet her con- panion's mind.
 "It's the life," he informed her.
 "Must be-" Lulu breathed. 'Tl She tried, and gave 1t up.
 "Where you been mostly7" he asked at last.
 By this unprecedented interest in her doings she was thrown into pas sion of excitement.
 'Here," she said. 'Tve always been here. Fifteen years with Ina. Before that we lived in the country"
 He listened sympathetically now, his head we'll on one side. He watched her veined hands pinch at the pies. Poor old girl" he was thinking.
 'Ts 1t Miss Lulu BettT' he abruptly inquired. "Or Mrs.2"
 Lulu flushed in anguish.
 Miss" she said low, as one who l confesses the extremity of failure. Then, from unplumbed depths, another Lulu abruptly spoke up. 'From choice" she said.
 He shouted with laughter.
 "You betl Oh, you bet" he cried. 'Never doubted it." He made his palms taut and drummed on the table. "SayI" he said.
 Lulu glOwed, quickened, smiled. Her face was another face.
 (Which kind of a MT. are you?" she heard herself ask, and his shoutings redoubled. We'll Who would have thought 1t of her?
 "Never give myself away" he as- sured her. "Say, by George, never thought of that before! There's no telling whether a mans married or not, by his nameI'
 ''It don't natter" said Lulu.
 "Why not?"
 Not so many people want to know"
 Again he laughed. This laughter was intoxicating to Lulu. No one ever laughed at what she said save Her. bert, who laughed at her. "Go it. old grill" .Ninian was thinking, but this did not appear.

 CT went into the smoking car. I looked over the men and decided to tell my story to one of them. But which one? That was the question. It was answered quickly. A man pulled out pipe. He's the man for me- I thought. But when he took can of Edgeworth from his pocket, then kneO.
