so often I almost seem to have been here and witnessed it. She had a child with her, boy of two years, and she said she was Ralph Brother 1 tons wife. and that the boy was his son. Nobody had ever heard of his ! being married, but she persuaded his father into believing her. She had papers and certificates, and goodness alone knows what. and she told him very plausible story of how she met him, and what their life had been, and how he died.
 Well, to cut long story short, she was received Here as Ralph Bretherton's widow. and the child acknowledged as his son. A nice little fellow he was, I believe; and, judging from his portrait-there' one in the gallery-he was a very pretty boy, but not a bit like a Bretherton. He and his mother stayed here for about two months, living in luxury. before they were found out. Davids grandfather took great fancy to them, it appears, and thought nothing too good for them.
 Then one night the Gray Lady was seen; no fewer than three people

 Then you know what we're up against. Mother Durkee is so pre- judiced against maids anyway, and this one is so impertinent and sulky. If just Ali and l were by ourselves I'd discharge her in q second, have a woman in by the day for the heat- jest work, and do the rest myself.
 But you know how Mother Dur kee is," she smiled. Shed never let me do the work by myself, and Dr. Braithwaite said it was imperative that she have absolute rest from both work and worry for awhile. Mrs. Bickett and l have managed so far to keep her away from this room-we take all care of it ourselves - so Mother Durkee never has come in good morning. but what we'll do when she does get downstairs ] don't know. And maids are so hard to get this was positively the last hope, and she's really quite efficient except for her sulkiness."
 Leila's whisper trailed away into a tired little sigh, and looking more closely at her l saw that the lines Of nervous fatigue had not disappeared from. her face, as I had hoped they would do when Boss Dean was elim- mated from her daily life. The every day domestic problems were evident ly as wearing as the emotional ones. But I brought myself up with round turn at a query which flashed just then into my brain.
 How did I know that Ress Dean WAS no longer factor in Leiia's S emotional lifes

CHAPTER Nx1v. The Iiretherton Character

fHt ibttNtrtVu tHuFH'hF
 Mary had listened breathlessly, And what happened to them ?''
 Miss Narney shook her head.
 This Is the most dreadful part of the whole story, my dear, and one that none of the family are very proud of: for David's grandfather turned them out then and there, neck and crop, into the road, and wouldn't allow anyone to raise finger. 10 help them. It was a dreadful night. so they say, showing. and with cut tins wind blowing"
 Miss Narney shivered little at her cwn thoughts. She had told the story so many times that it had be- come most realistic to her.
 She put down her work and looked acress at Mary.
 In the morning some of the vil- lagers found them in a sno1drift by the roadside. The little boy was dead, and his mother"--she shook her head-"she died soon after wards"
 How cruel.--how wickedly truel." Mary's voice was angry and indig- nant. Wasn't he punished? Cant man be punished for murder? It was murder" she repeated vehe- mently.
 , Miss vsrney looked little shocked.
 ''There was terrible scandal, of course; but-well. when you are a rich and powerful man. my dear, you can hush things up. you know, and the whole truth never came out. But it showed that side of the Bretherton haracter-relentless, remorseless."
 And you mean-you mean that David would be like that?" asked Mary slowly.
 ''oh, my dear. how can I tell? I cnly know that he is a Bretherton to the backbone"
 Mary left her chair and walked over 10 the fire. She dropped on her knees. holding her hands 10 the warmth of it's blaze. She was shiv- ering little.
 ''I suppose if anyone deceived him. then" she said in a hard voice. that he would bc quite capable of behav- in the way his grandfather did. Is that what you mean?" Miss Narney looked distressed.
 I'm afraid I am giving you 2 wrong impression of him. Mary. It's SO unlikely that anything ever will happen to rouse him sufficiently. Tn the ordinary way he never gets up- set at all. Why. even when we heard that Nigel had been killed. you would hardly have thought David cared. the way he took it."
 Mary's face flamed.
 '1t seems that nobody loved him but mel" she said bitterly. Then suddenly rcmorseful: "Oh. . didn'i mean that! Please forgive me; l didn't mean that"
 Miss varney took the hand she extended.

 Now you've done it v Katherine murmured maliciously to Dicky as WIG hurried up the stairs.
 '.i,one what?" he demanded rough ly. but l noticed that h. kept his syoice 10 the level of hers.
 "Put the voodoo on the house. she a,ighed, and then with com plete change Of manner, she said grascls.
 "pen't say anything to Mrs. Dur kce about the maids behavior.
 ..Or mine, l suppose" Dicky re- tcrted, but l noticed with gratiiica- ion that there was uneasiness Tn hls face.
 He is altogether too prone to ridic- uious testing tricks in season and out of season, and l was not sorry to see him discomfited. He wiped everything but smiles from his face, however. when we reached Mrs. Dur kee's door, and the little woman held out thin little hand to us.
 You mustn't hug me," she warned, indicating her right side, while kath- crime lowered wstchfully near. Its all right, you know, everything Tn splendid shape-Dr. Braithwaite dis charged me before he went-but the flesh is terribly tender, and l have to be careful. But you may kiss me"
 She held up her lips first to me, and then, with coquettish little pout to Dicky-he declares that the first thing she does beyond the pearly gates will be to make eyes at St. Peter-and he kissed her warmly.
 Leila came into the room and my arms at the same moment. and then Mrs. Durkee went into childish eiac- ulations of delight over the flowers which Katherine had taken from Dicky and unwrapped.
 Homage to "Her F1uhincss"
 "oh Oh Dicky-bird. How per fectly -crumptious :" she caroled. But of course, part of them'--she turned 10 her daughter-in-law with an affectionate little smile.
 Are for Leila" Dicky assented promptly. We don't want 10 spoil you, you know. Too much attention Is apt to turn your brain."
 ftS NuHhtT sOu uoli | Sos | haven't enough to turn" she retort- ed, pouting. That's the usual line of talk you hand me-"
 "Oh. but you are mistaken" Dicky assured her. That's a bouquet re- serve strictly for the lady who has the honor to be my wife. And then again. I make it principle never 10 hit lady unless she is in full pos- session Of her health and strength. You're really not fair game. Hut ma cherie, you are standing. Per- init me-"
 With an entire change of manner he drew forward big armchair and put her Into 1t with all tho grace Of courier. She beamed upon him as he drew low chair close 10 her and took one Of her hands in his, keeping 1t there while he talked low nonsense to her. She briJled and flushed as if she were sixteen and he year older. while l followed Leila to the window-snat. where our speech, 1T we kept our voices 10 low mur- mur. could not be overheard.
 Leila Confidcs in Maslgc
 "How is she?" asked anxiously.
 "Perfectly all right, l think" she replied. ''she appears to be getting stronger every day. Of course. you'll have to ask Mrs. Bickett concern ing her recovery from the opera tion. I can only judge from her gen. cral appearance. If it weren't for that mald-you saw her, didn't you, downstairs?v

And sure enough it was, because the very next day someone sent an anonymous letter to the head of the house--Dayid's grandfather--and warned him that the woman he was sheltcring as his sons wife was an imposter. dou't remember the details, but it proved 10 be true enough. She had only known Ralph Bretherton very slight ly, and the whole thing was a put-up scheme to get the money and estates for the boy"
