1 Lillian answered, as the maid drew up a low table before the invalid and arranged the tray. And thank you so much for thinking Of me"
 "Oh! dots nodings" Katie ob- served loftily, and Lillian almost chokcr over her tea, But fortunate ly my little maid did not notice her mirth, Instead with anxious face she was speaking to me.
 'Not ve do about dees old house. | cleaning now" she asked Dot yoman's see eet all upset now any ways und knows veo feex cop for her, no use watching for her no more"
 But suppose she comes back. Katie" I asked slyly.
 "Not?" Katie almost screamed the question. "Ven she coon back? want know, beateet down de road I no like her, she beeG boonch of soup greens I hear vot she say be- fore you coon down und eet all kin do, keep mineself from busting her vun ofer desnoot!!"
 That wills do Katie" l said. making a miserable failure at an attempt to be stern. She won't call again for awhile, but we'll so on with the cleaning just the same. |. It will be all done up for the fall, and there will be that much less to wor- ry about, You needn't wait for the tray. I'll bring it down when I next come downstairs"
 II Don't Envy Hal Meredith" I eased her out of the room, and closing the door after her, gave my self up to the laughter which was l shaking Katherine and Lillian.
 If ever you go broke, Madge," " Lillian said at last, ,"all you'll have to do Is to incorporate Katie and your fortune will be made"
 Did you notice that spiel she made about Lucias talk before you came down." Katherine queried.
 Indeed I did" I returned She must have been eavesdropping again."
 T have a fellow-feeling for her." Katherine proclaimed. Since I shamelessly listened at the door to your delicious little monologue. I wish I dared ask her what Lucia really. did say. but I suppose it would be a social error to quiz her" - she flashed an impish look at me.
 Not to Katie" I rejoined. T don't know anything she would en- joy better"
 That's true" Katherine laughed. Still I must not forget that l was reared a lady in capitals. | There's one comfort, however, whatever Lucia said, 1t isn't half as sizzling as what she's thinking, But l don't envy Hal Meredith his drive home"
 Mentally I echoed her words add ing that I enyied the brilliant alien ist nothing of his lot.

 But she knew she would.
 She dressed herself with extreme care, in soft mauve crepe with hat to match. She pinned one of Waterbury's roses to her breast. and with beating heart went downstairs 10 meet him.
 He met her, unsmiling, and took her hands in his for just a second. Fire glowed in his blue eyes as he looked at her.
 You're a stunner," he said, ad- miring her.
 May was vaguely disappointed. She didn't like to be called stun ner" by this man whom she was try ing 10 marry, She wanted him to want her--not 10 admire her.
 But, in her turn, she could not help admiring the sure man-of-the- world air with which Herby gave his luncheon order.
 Today, he was very good looking. very debonair, extremely we'll dressed, How other women would envy her if she were the wife of a man like him! And think of all the money he had. hesides---
 May crinkIed up her nose at him in saucy smile.
 "I'm wearing your rose upon my heart, Sir Knight! And you haven't said word about it." she reproach- ed him gayly.
 "I'm wearing my own heart on my sleeve" Waterbury answered, leaning across the table and speak, ing in a low tone, Cant you see that I'm very much in love with you and have been since the minute I laid eyes on you?"
 May shook her head. NO, [ cant see that" she answered, Are you?",
 Waterbury nodded gravely. T am," he said quietly, And you know it."
 May wanted 10 ask him, Then why in the world don't you ask me to marry you?" What did she care about love? It was marriage she wanted!

Who soonest acts in time of need Will be from worry soonest freed.
 Old Mother Nature Little Mrs. Timnly the Flying Squirrel wastes very little time when she has made up her mind to do a thing. She had to find new home. The storm had broken off the hol- low limb in which her nest had been placed in a certain tall dead tree. Fortunately the nest had re- mained in the stub left when the branch broke. But it was open to the weather and there were five babies in that home - five babies who must, be protected. So there was nothing for Mrs. Timny to do but find a new home right away without any delay at all.
 She jumped from the stump on which she was sitting as she talked to Peter to the foot of a tall tree. Up this she ran as only a Flying Squirrel can. Clear to the top she ran. and then she gave a mighty jump. Peter Rabbit sighed as he watched. My" said he, it must be fun to coast on the air like that!"
 Down, down, down glided little Mrs. Timmy on & long slant. It was for all the world as If she were sliding down hill spread out as fiat as she could be. Clear across the Laughing Brook she sailed, and then just before she reached the ground she shot up a little and landed lightly on the trunk of tree Then for some little time Peter merely got gimpses of her as she hurried from one tree to another. He noticed that the only trees she climbed were trees in which some- where, high up in the trunk or in one of the big branches. were holes. By and by she came sailing back from the top of tall tree on the other side of the Laughing Brook and landed on the old stupp near Peter. .I think" said she, T have found house that will do. I guess 1t will have to do for a while. It is quite dry and there is an old bed In it which I suspect Timmy made there long ago. It isn't as good a home as this was before the acci- dent, but I suppose should be thankful to find a place so handy"
 Peter looked across at those trees, I'm glad you think it is handy" said he, '"it doesn't look handy to me. If you have much of a family I don't see how under the sun you are ever going to get the whole family over there."
 'I have five" said little Mrs. Timmy. T have five of the dearest darlings in the world. Peter Rabbit, you never have seen such children. No, sir, you never have seen such children. Dear me, I must so to
