CHAPTER II
Nurse Sarah's Story.
And this is Nurse Sarah's st,

And this is Nurse Sarah's story.
 As 1 said, I'm going to tell it straight through as near as I can in her own words. And l can remember most of it, think, for paid very close attention.
 Well, yes, Miss Mary Marie, things did begin to change right there an then, an so you could notice it. We saw it, though maybe your pa an ma didn't at the first.
 You see, the first month after she came, it was vacation time an he could give her all the time she wanted. An she wanted it all An she took it. An he was just as glad to give it as she was to take it. An so from mornin' till night they was together. traipsin' all over the house an garden. an trampin' off through the woods and up on the mountain every other day with their lunch.
 You see she was city-bred, an not used to woods an flowers growin' wild; an she went crazy over them. He showed her the stars, too, through his telescope; but she hadn't a mite of use for them, an let him see it good an plain. She told him-I heard her with my own ears-that his eyes, when they laughed, was all the stars she wanted; an that she'd had stars all her life for breakfast an luncheon an dinner, anyway, an all the time be- tween; an she'd rather have some thin else, now-somethin' alive, that she could love an live with an touch an play with, like she could the flow CTS an rocks and grass an trees.
 Angry? Your pa? Not much he was He just laughed an caught her round the waist an kissed her, an said she herself was the brightest star of all. Then they ran off hand in hand, like two kids, too. All through those first few weeks your pa was just great big baby with a new plaything. Then when college began he turned all at once into a full-grown man. An just naturally your ma didn't know what to make of it.
 He couldn't explore the attic an rig up in the old clothes there any more, nor romp through the garden, nor go lunchin' in the woods, nor none of the things she wanted him to do. He didn't have time. An what made things worse, one of them comet-tails was comin' up in the sky, an your pa didn't take no rest for watchin' for it, an then studyin' of it when it got here.

to Miss Madge Desmond, and would they please send him some things he wanted, and he was going on a we'd home in about a month.
 It was just as sudden as that. And surprising Nurse says a thunderclap out of a clear blue sky couldn't have astOniShed them more. Father was al- most thirty years old at that time, and he'd never cared thing for girls nor paid them the least little bit of atten- ton. So they supposed, of course that he was a hopeless old bachelor and wouldn't ever marry. He was bound up in his stars, even then, and was already beginning to be famous, be- cause of a comet he'd discovered. He was a professor in our college here, where his father had been president. His father had just died a few months before, and Nurse said maybe that was one reason why Father got caught in the matrimonial net like that. (Those are her words, not mine. The idea of calling my mother net! But nurse never did appreciate Mother). But Father just worshiped his father, and they were always together Grandma being sick so much l; and so when he died my father was nearly beside himself, and that's one reason they were so anxious he should go to that meeting In Boston. They thought it might take his mind off himself, Nurse said. But they on a wife
 So far as his doing it right up quick like that was concerned, Nurse said that wasn't so surprising. For all the way up, if Father wanted anything he

MARY-AND MARIE

SYNOPSIS.-In a preface Mary Marie explains her apparent double personality" and just why she Is "cross-current and a contradic- tion." Mary Marie says:
 Father calls me Mary. Mother calls me Marie. Everybody else calls me Mary Marie. The rest of my name is Anderson.
 "1'm thirteen years old, and Pm cross-current and a contradiction. That is, Sarah says I'm that (Sa- rah Is my old nurse.) She says she read it once-that the children of unlilles were always cross-eur- rent and a contradiction. And my father and mother are unlil1es, and Pm the children. That is, I'm the child. I'm all there is. And now I'm going to be a bigger cross-eur- rent and contradiction than ever, for I'm going to live half the time with Mother and the other half with Father Mother will go to Boston to live, and Father will stay here-a divorce, you know"
 She also tells why she is going to keep a diary. She begins with Nurse sarah's story of her birth.

right away then. He never want. ed to wait a minute he found a girl he wanted, he wanted her right away then, without waiting a minute He'd never happened to notice girl he wanted before, you see. But he'd found one now all right i; and Nurse said there was nothing to do but to make the best of it and get ready for her.
 There wasn't anybody to go to the wedding. Grandma Anderson was sick, so of course she couldn't go, and Grandpa was dead, so of course he couldn't go, and there weren't any brothers or sisters, only Aunt Jane in St. Paul. and she was so mad she wouldn't come on. So there was no chance of seeing the bride till Father brought her home.
 Nurse said they wondered and won- dered what kind of woman 1t could be that had captured him. q told her 1 wished she wouldn't speak of my mother as if she was some kind of hunter out after game; but she only chuckled and said that's about what it amounted to in some cases.) The very idea!
 The whole town was excited over the affair, and Nurse Sarah heard a lot of their talk. Some thought she was an astronomer like him. Some thought she was very rich, and may be famous. Everybody declared she must know a lot, anyway, and be wonderfully wise and intellectual; and they said she was probably tall and wore glasses, and would be thirty years old, at least But nobody guessed anywhere near what she really was.
 Nurse Sarah said she should never forget the night she came, and how she looked, and how utterly fabber- gasted everybody was to see her little slim eighteen-year-old girl with yellow, curly hair and the merriest laughing eyes they had ever seen. Don't I know? Don't ] just love

twinkle when we're off together some times in the woodsO And Nurse said Mother was so excited the day she came, and went laughing and danc- ing all over the house, exclalming over everything. q can't imagine that so well. Mother moves so quietly now, everywhere, and is so tired, most all the time) But she wasn't tired then, Nurse says-not a mite.
 But how did Father aet?" I de handed Wasn't he displeased and scandalized and shocked, and every thing?"
 Nurse shrugged her shoulders and raised her eyebrows-the way she does when she feels particularly superior. Then she said:
 Do? What does any old fool beggin' your pardon an no offens, meant, Miss Mary Marie-but what does any man do what's got bejuggled with a pretty face, an his senses com pletely took away from him by a chit of a girl? Well, that's what he did. He acted as if he was bewitched. He followed her around the house like a dog-when he wasn't leadin' her to something new; an he never took his eyes off her face except to look at us, as much as to say: Now ain't she the adorable creatureY"
 My father did that?" I gasped. And, really, you know, I just couldn't believe my ears. And you wouldn't. either, if you knew Father. "Why, l never saw him act like that p
 No, I guess you didn't" laughed Nurse Sarah with shrug. And neither did anybody else-for long"
 But how long did if last?" I asked.
 "Oh, month,- or maybe six weeks" shrugged Nurse Sarah. "Then it came September and college began, and your father had to go back to his teach ing. Things began to change then"
 Right then, so you could see them?p wanted to know.
 Nurse Sarah shrugged her shoulders again.
 "Oh Ia child, what a little ques- tion-bOX you are, an no mistake" she sighed. But she didn't look mad-not like the way she does when I ask why she can take her teeth out and most of her hair off and 1 can't; and things like that. GAS if 1 didn't know! What does she take me fora chlld? She didn't even look displeased-Nurse Sarah loves to talk. GAS if 1 didn't know that, tooD She just threw that quick look of hers over her shoulder and settled back contentedly in her chair. l knew then l should get the whole story. And I did. And I'm go- ing to tell it here in her own words, just as well as I can remember it bad grammar and all. So please re- member that am not making all those mistakes. It's Nurse Sarah.
