 'I'm sure she or anyone else would have to possess strong mag nifying glasses 10 find a speck in this kitchen" l said sincerely, and then added, as if l had just thought of 1t:
 By the way, Mrs. Ticer, lll get my purse and pay you now for the day, so that you can go on home as soon as you've finished scrub ping"
 But it's only the middle of the afternoon" she protested
 But you've already done a full days work" l argued. Tt doesn't matter to mo how many hours you put in at it. I'm not blind, you know. realize all that you've done today and I'm going to call halt on you. Just a second, please"
 "My Darling Mecsis Graham:'
 fn In a concealed drawer, I always keep small amount of money, that l may save myself trips to my purse in my room upstairs. With the amount due Mrs. Ticer for a days work, I returned 10 her just as she rose from her knees, the, last bit of scrubbing finished. waited un- til she had disposed of her pail and brush and rolled down her sleeves (for Mrs. Ticer had a certain ten acity of conventions which one in- voluntarily observes when dealing with her), then l held out the bills.
 But this is whole days pay" she said.
 "Of course" I answered firmly. T told you before you had done a whole days work"
 Well, I'm much obliged to you, I'm sure," she said, taking her hat from a nail behind the door. And I'll just run along now before that girl comes down to work. Me and Katie are good friends when we're not working in the same kitchen. Familiarity breeds contempt you know. Goodbye. Let me know when you want me"
 As I went up the back stairs reflected with amusement that she again had managed to insert one of her favorite quotations into her farewell to me. But Katie's hoarse whisper from the top of the stairs drove all mirthful thoughts from my mind.
 "Meesis Graham. Oh, my darling Meesis Graham" she was repeating while tears raincd over her face.

 "Ha!" MT. Grabby cried as he saw a man coming down the path. Here comes MT. Tinkie, my next door neighbor, I shall send him home for his ladder. then I shall climb up to the window and cap ture you."
 When Mir. Tinkte walked up 10 MT. Grabby he said, Good morn ing Mir. Grabby. Why do you sit upon your front door steps and look so sad ?"
 T spect you would look sad too, Mfr. Tinkie, if you had been locked out Of your house and had to sleep sitting up all through the cold dewy night!'
 T spect I would, Mir, Grabby." Mir. Tinkie replied. But why are you locked out Of your own house? Just tell me that"

But she nodded reassuringly and followed my cue with a little speech so realistic that for a sec ond l almost believed in her inten- lion 10 do the thing she promised,
 "Oh, suppose I'll have to prom se," she said. There's no doing lnything with you once you get an idea into your mind.

I'll leave the door the tiniest bit N.ar, SO you won't waken my pa tent, coming in"
 "I'll be most careful" and then I turned and went down the stairs. I made my progress fairly noisy, that Fanny Powell if she were awake, as Katherine half suspected, might be certain of my where- abouts. Once safely in the lower hall, however, I made a noiseless progress to the kitchen, from which led the back staircase. l knew that by climbing 1t I could regain the upper hall without fear Of discov- cry by the girl whom had been set to watch.
 Mrs. Ticer, on her knees with scrubbing pail and brush, looked up as l entered, her face flushed with the only evidence of hurry I ever had seen on her usually placid countenance. That she must have beaten her own record in washing the luncheon dishes and tidying up her kitchen, knew from a mental calculation of the time which had elapsed since luncheon. After 8 flashing but unobtrusive glance around the immaculate kitchen I registered an involuntary protest.
 Why. are you scrubbing that floor, Mrs. Ticer?" I asked. T saw you doing it yesterday and there hasn't been a spot on it since that I could detect"
 "T'H Pay You Now"
 She smiled, but there were traces of both combat and triumph in her face as she answered.
 "No, I don't think there was she admitted, "but you don't sup pose I'm going to have that girl come down to kitchen that hasn't been freshly scrubbed. do you She'll find pdenty to kick about as it is."
