Letter rom I.esiie Prescott to Ruth :. Burke, Continucd.

 ,Yop, dear Ruth. have probably gone over all this phase of married liis'from another angle; yet 1t could not seem 50 terribly bad to you, for at ieas; yon have marrieds again. You deserve everything now that life can give to you, and ] sincerely hope you will have it. .e
 You were not such baby about It all as have been. You kept all your unhappiness to yourself. l re- member the only time you ever said anything 10 me about Harry was the time he came into the restaurant with. that woman he ran away with finally. It was the beginning of the end. wasn't 1t? .
 Isn't 1t strange, dear, that we never know just when the beginning of the end begins? Perhaps it's just as, well. You would have been even more unhappy than you were If you had known 1t then,
 Another one Of my problems just now'is Alice. You remember told you Karl wanted me to write her an invitation to come home. l can't do that, but am going to have mother do 1t. I do not feel can ever be the same to Alice. If she were not my sister I am certain l should never speak to her again. In fact, ] should not do so anyway if 1t were not for mother and father.
 am not sure whether I want her to come back before John goes. He will say something to her that will precipitats terrible. quarrel, yet I wish Alice could be made to tell John all about the pearls. l think, then, everything would be all right. as far as those troublesome old beads are concerned.
 Of course there is still the shop, the dear little lingerie shop that has given us so much joy, What are

But the Sphinx is a gabby gossip compared to Lillian when she wishes to keep secret and conjec- ture on my part know is wasted. Katherine Bickctt is also here. although Dr. Petit so frequently acquisitions her for difficult hospi- tai cases that she is able to spend very little time with us. But l know that Katherine likes being near me. especially since the revela- tion of her own marital unhappi- ness which she gave me when l so sorcly needed sympathy
 Jack her husband-my brother cousin-is still in South America and there is no prospect of his re- turn. To my point Of view this is most desirable arrangement for Jack brings Katherine only unrap- piness and a rigid restraint upon her freedom when he is at home.
 l look toward Dicky, half asleep in the Chaise tongue, with a warm little rush of prideful love. To think that sometimes I have won dered if my brother-cousin, Jack, might not have
 With a little shiver I shake off the hateful thought, and see Dicks eyes open lazily.
 "Cold?" he queries, and I realize that he has been watching me tIom beneath his apparently closed eye lids.
 No" I answer smothering the impulse to rush Over to him and tell him all that is in my heart. I'm just reminding myself how nearly we've stopped playing this marriage game with each other"
 Dicky bends a quizzical glance at me. which yet holds something Of seriousness.
 No we haven't" he said decid- edly. Don't you know We can run only the length of the chain?" "You-mean-Junior?" I ask, for I have heard him use the odd eX- pression before.
 T mean-us-ourselve and me-" he answers a bit impatiently, getting out of his chaise tongue and coming over to my chair, where he sits down on the arm and draws me tenderly to him. Look over the | things we've been through together! I tell you there are soase players in this game who can't throw down their cards-the things too strong for them-and we belong 10 that category. When two people love each other as you and I do, it doesn't matter how far apart we fly or how bitterly angry we get with each other something stronger than ourselves draws us together again. Don't you know that?"
 I'm not disputing you Beloved" I happily murmur, just as Junior looks up from his play.
 With a shout of Jerry, Jerry" Junior tears madly 10 the gate and reaches up his arms to Jerry Ticer, who has just canteref up on Lady"
 Cant stay now, Junior" Jerry says regretfully. But here is the mail. You can be the postman."
 Junior proudly takes the packet of letters which Jerry hands him, and runs to me with it.
 I scan the envelopes, handing Dicky his letters, and one letter for his mother, letting mine-mostly dvertisements-fall in my lap as if they amounted to nothing, for with a little mental gasp Of dismay, realize that the chirography of one of the envelopes unmistakably is Hugh Grantland's.
