"Lcc Chow Drive Car"

Lee Chow was nowhere to be seen. although the replaced seat and cushions showed thut he had carried out my instrucuons 10 the letter. But he had vanished into the bushes as mystvrlousIy as he had appeared. and l wondered if my refusal to let him carry Junior had offended him after all,
 speedily forgot him, however, In the dilemma which faced me when realized that must transfer Junior to someone clSes care while l drove the car. My first sugges- ton Of such a course brought a pi'cous protos, from my small son,
 "nont let me go, Mama" ho walrd. Hold me tight"
 "}ut ba-hre. your poor ma.ma got to drive the car" Katie struck in with valiant attempt to bring me aid and comfort. "Shoost let your Katie hold you, till yc get home. Den you can go by Mama all times.'
 No! No'" Juniors voice, usually docilc, rose in d hystorical scream T want my mama to hold me, mo- body else"
 Ordinarily l should have con- pe)led Junior to sit with Katie, but l did not know what effect weeping might have upon his swollen eyes. or excitement upon his undcniably ] feverish condition. I was at my wits end, and was debating the pos sibility of holding him in one arm and trying to drive the car with the other hand, even though l realized ! the danger Of sudden nervous swerve upon his part, when Lee Chow's calm voice sounded close to me. Again he had materializod fnysteriously from the bushes with out my hearing his approach.

 She didn't especially want Dolly'i company, but still less did she dare leave her there where she might di- vulgo the secret of Zizi's find, and which IiSi vas determined should remain secret until she could tell Wise about it.
 The finding of the rubbcrs was merely the last resort of q long hunt, Zizi had looked everywhere. They must be proved up by the print on the sun room foor-and then

Why Lee Chow Reappcarcd After

Even through my frantic anxiety for Junior there flashed an lrroslst- ihle thrill of amusemen, at katie's astonished reaction to my small sons echo of his grandmothcrs tavorlte admonition. She threw up her head and stared at him for minute, and then to my surprise-aIthough l should not be astonIshed al anyt hing my volatile little maid may think Of doing-she laughed loudly and heartily.

Not muscle of his face had changed under her fiery denuncia- ton, and he ignored Katie magnih- gently as with the same monoton- ous infection which had character ized his former utterance, he re- peated the words.
 Not clans. But must so to noctor soon."
 Katie opened her mouth for an other ttrade. but I forcstalled it with . stern and peremptory:

 i Whereupon Zlzi dragged her away. 1 You go home, Dolly" she said, . 'and don't you mention one word of all this to single soul. If you do you'll make more trouble than even Pennington Wise can clear up. Do you promiso?"
 "Yes, l promise, Zizi. Oh, who ever thought that old curmudgeon did it? Just to get his money to so to South America" | Never mind all that now. Dolly. i You must run home, and go about your own affairs And if you love Mrs, Raynor. you keep still-for her sake"

 Zizi went slowly on to the Eaynor house.
 She found Pennington Wise with Mrs. Raynor and Finley, all in Mans sitting room.

 From her coat pocket Zizi pro- duced the rubbers and handed them over 10 Wise.
