<. which like many camper Of more mature years. she is inordinately proud,
 katie's audible snort of disgust drew my attention 10 my little maid. who standing few feet back of me, was watching the activities . of tho Chnese, with the od-time noyelist's mingled emotions mak- Ing a playground of her face. But predominating over everything else was jealousy stark and savage, as slie saw the child she adored look ing up so contentedly into the strange newcomers face with no thought for her.
 Katie Tell You" l saw that something would have 10 be done at once to divert Katie's mind if I did not wish one of her temperamental tantrums on my hands and walked quickly toward her.
 Katie. where do you think would be a good place 10 spread the cloth for our dinner?" l asked ingenuohsly.
 She glowered at me in n fashion that would have been insolent if I had not known what excusable childish emotion lay back of the look.
 You better ask dot Tea Chop" she said sulkily and I knew that as far as Katie was concerned, Lee Chow was christened for all time. Dicky has always declared that Katie's ability to twist names from their original fashion amounted to genius and l remembered his as- sertion as I struggled to keep my facial muscles from twitching at the ridiculous appellatlon.
 Don't be silly, Katie" com manded sternly. Lee Chow is only a laborer who will help US out with the work" I sent the Oriental a swift mental apology but you are my housekeeper and I depend on you. So stop your nonsense and tell me where you think would be a good place to eat"
 But Katie would not be molli- fled, although I saw that my fear of an outbreak of tempestuous sob ping was not to be realized.
 T know notings," she said with superb hauteur. "Notings. You wise lady you feex table shoost were you want eet. But poor Katie tea you vun tings Eef dot Chink hurt dot leetde ba-bee dis day init his mudder too like sheep to stop heem, I keel heem shoost so sure as lif."

Why Katie Was Angry at Madgc
 Over Lee Chow

 Over Lee Chow
 Junior displayed astonishing do-
 cility. toward my dictum that he
 must walt for Lee Chow's guidance
 before hunting for the clans Mar.
 ion had discovered on the beach,
 So like his father in high spirit
 that the resemblance Is almost un-
 canny Junior is not usually patient
 toward any thwarting of his de-
 sires although he is also like Dicky
 in the royal amiability with which
 he bows to the inevitable, once he
 knows it to be such.
 But there was no waiting upon
 this occasion for me to demonstrate
 that my decision was the inevi-
 table. Junior had let go of my
 skirts when Lee Chow began 10
 speak, and sidled forward like an
 active little crab until he was close
 beside the man with his face filled
 with childish admiration, uplifted
 to that of the Chinese. l watched
 him in the fascinated Wonder which am still a ncw-enough
 mother 10 feel toward my childs
 actions and presently his hand
 stole out and pulled Lee Chow's sleeve.
 "l like you - lots" he said.
 May help you build the fire?" realized belatedly that by turn
 ing over the fre-building to Lee Chow. I had deprived both Junior
 and Marion of helping with that piece of work, task upon which
 both of them had counted. I took a quick step forward with the idea Of interfering in their behalf, but saw before I could speak that there
 was no slightest reason for my in- terterence.
 For Lee Chow was bending to- ward the child with the utmost gentIcness and a touch of deference which never had been shown 10 Junior before. Katie adores him and serves him slavishly but there is no reverential touch in her, man. ner toward her "ba- bee" such as was patent in Lee Chow's gesture and words.
 "Lil' boss man build fire. Lee Chow help,' he said with the rare smile which men of his race vouch- safe only to childhood and help lcssness. Then he turned to Marion standing a few feet away, trying hard not to betray her disappoint- ment. . Katie Is Jealous "Lil boss lady like help, too," he asked, not clipping his words short as he had done with me, but enunciating clearly as he had spoken to Junior.
 Marion with the docility and curtesy, which are hers both by in stinct and as the result of her. mothers wise training, looked at me before she answered, but at my assenting nod. and murmured, "Of course, sdear" her face lighted up as it someone had suddenly turned on an electric light behind 1t. and she sprang toward Lee Chow, eag- erly eXclaiming:
 "Oh, I'd love to. And may I try to light the fire with one match?- l can do it I'm sure."
 Ice Chow bowed suavely.
 "Lil' boss lady smart" he said, smiling at her but I detected the disbelief beneath the words. Lee Chow patiently had had no exper- fence with the accomplishments Of American school girls and l felt sudden championing desire to have Marion triumph in the feat of

Be as quiet as possible and don't bring about any overexertion through argument or talk.
 If the patient has been lying for any length of time, prop a pillow beneath his knees to relieve the strain on the muscles.
 Don't let the covers become op- pressively heavy and don't let the patient get too hot.
 Have comfortable bed and changes of sheets.

Malcolm Finley looked chagrlned, and then, in manly fashion he &C., cepted the situation.
 T fear spoke hastily, MT. Wise. Now. can only say, that l agree that after the attention l paid to the sight of Mir. Raynor, and to the revolver, which I saw quite clearly I could not have been daz- zled by the light. But whom I said that -- I thought 1t was so. Now, I will correct 1t by saying that l must have been daZed rather than dazzled, and dased -- stunned, al- most, by the shock Of the evident tragedy, and because of my be- wildered senses did not see clear ly - definitely, rather the exact position or attitude of Mrs, Raynor as she stood in the doorway"
 Yet 1t seems probable that you should see the lady as well as that you should see the other scenes you speak of. You noticed Miss Turner?"
 "Yes; she stood, her hand still on the light switch, her face hor- rified, and behind her came Miss Raynor, equally agitated."
 You seem to have noticed these two ladies much more definitely than you observed Mrs. Raynor. Why was that?"
 cannot tell you" Malcolm Finley said, with dignity.
 Will you tell me-" Wise said, turning to Nan, whether you were leaving or entering the room When the lights appeared?"
 T don't know"
 "Try to think -- 1t may mean a great deal"
 q cant think - I cant remem- Der"
 You were sitting on the terrace when you heard the shot?"
 Yes"
 You rose at once and walked toward the sun parlor?"
 "Yes."
 Mrs. Raynor, then as you had been sitting in the dusk, your eyes were accustomed to 1t not as if you had come from lighted room when you reached the west door of the sun parlor. was the door open?"
 Yes"
 What did you see?"
 Nothing alarming at first"
 But you saw"
 Nancy looked at him, her eyes wide with horror. yet full of un- certainty.
 You say" the memorable blue eyes looked steadily at her.
 T saw" she spoke like one hypnotized, then slre seemed fairly to wrench her own gaze away from the detectives as she cried out, T won't tell you what I saw"
 Let her alone" said soft little voice. and the girl, Zizi, glided to Mans side, sank in a low seat be- side her, and took her hand.
 AS to incidental matters" the detective said. speaking on as if without interruption, whose was the reyolver?"
 Tt belonged to my brother" Miss Matte said, eagerly, glad to take part in this enthralling con- versation.
 Wise looked at her with interest.
 Where did he keep it?"
 Right in the table drawer In the sun parlor."
 "Who knew the revolver was in that drawer"
 Everybody in the house." Miss Raynor replied.
 "Fingerprints?
 ''Noue were found on it except mine." Malcolm Finley volunteered.
 I've been told you wiped it with your Handkerchief, MT Finley, even while you were dazzled by the sudden light and dazed by the shock of the tragedy"
 Yes, I did it unthinkingly-"
 You did not do it minimizing
