 T knew you'd come looking for us pretty soon," she went on, "so we stayed there, and guess he must have seen you coming, for d liitle bil before you called, he passed the clump where We were and his head was bent way down SO anybody outside couldn't sec Nm, and he was hurryng awful fast, Then ] heard you call, and answered. Oh, Auntie Madge. You don't think Junior has taken cold, do you? But truly, l couldn't think Of anything else to do"

Co..e into the house. and I'll get you soma clean clothes and give you both q good rub down and Katie will fix you up some hot milk. I'm sure you'll be all right"
 We recalled Junior from his de- ightful romp with Mrs, Durkee's \ cat and made our way up the back stairs to the room the chidren had occupied with me the night before, When they were rubbed and dressed except for the final fasten- ings which Marion could manage for both Of them, ] went down the stairs again 10 get the hot milk which Is my panacea for many ills.
 Katie was still in the kitchen, although the waffle irons were no longer in use, but my little maids brows held a portentous frown, and I knew that something had dis pleased her. l ignored the familiar symptoms however. and asked her for the hot milk,
 "Vot matter" she asked alarm edlv. "Ees dot babee boy seeck 2" No, indeed" I answered cheer ilv, but he fell down in the mud and got his clothing damp and muddy. so I thought it would dc no hurt 10 give him something hoI to drink"
 Milk no good Katie returned with her racial scorn Of anything so mild. "A good steeck in 1t, now or some coffee
 T think we'll take the milk Katle" I said, You heat it and I'll get the cups from the ciose:.
 I moved toward the door of Gle "butler's pantry which divided the kitchen from the dining-room ot the fashioned house, and as ] went through I thought I heard an expostuation quickly smothered i from Katie. But I paid no atten- i ton to it - she is always eXclalm | ing over something, but when ] ! pushed hack the swinging doors, saw that the opposite doors were partly open, and through then came the voice Of Edith Fairfax:
