sobbing. And Gloria stood, looking at her helplessly, not knowing what to do.
 Then, as If a brilliant thought had just struck her, she ran up the stairs, past May and returned in a moment with Dicky, Jr,, on her arm.
 Here, Auntie May hold your nevyy!" she said with summoned gayety, laying the small creature in Mays lap, He looked up at her with his bright eyes blinking like a little bird
 And. as if by magic, May stopped crying, The maternal instinct that is buried deep In the heart of every woman under the sun, stirred with in her, and she held the baby close to her, as a mother holds her child mysteriously comforted,
 Without speaking she looked up at Gloria and Gloria felt almost ashamed because she had so much happiness and May had none.
 She rang bell in the wall and presently very young nursemaid appeared and took the baby up- stairs again.
 Its time for his nap Gloria explained, and besides, I have the most wonderful breakfast ready for you cooked 1t for you myself with my own hands. -
 Chattering. she sat down oppo- site May in the sunny little dining room and poured coffee for her. Then she brought shirred eggs and a thick T-bone steak from the kitchen.
 Here's toast" she purled, lifting a snowy napkin, "and honey-snd oh, dear! I forgot I had orange juice for you. . ."
 Browning, she dashed back into the kitchen and brought tall glass of it. set it in a bowl of cracked ice.
 May hadn't had such 3 meal since she had left the hotel in Atlantic City-nor such an appetite. either,
 By the time she had had her third cup of coffee she felt more cheerful than she had since the night Herbert Waterbury had dis appeared with her money,
 And presently she began 10 tell Gloria about him all about her Atlantic City adventure from begin ming to end,
 But. May. surely you weren't go- ing 10 marry this Waterbury in cold blood when you didn't even love him, were you?" Gloria asked when she had finished.
 May nodded, unashamed. "Of course l was goin gto marry him." she answered frankly. Why not" The thing I was after was money,

got another He did the same thing with this one. Whatever 1t was that Bobby was eating, he certainly was enjoying it. Peter lost count of the number of times Bobby pulled something out of the hole. "
 After a long time Bobby felt around in that hole and brought out nothing at all. He tried again, with the same result. It was quite clear to Peter that whatever 1t vas that Bobby had found none was left, Then Bobby didn't bother to fill that hole in again. He once more began to go all over the roof of Jerry Muskrat's house as if look ing for another place in which to dig But he found nothing to in- terest him and after q bit he sVam ashore.
 Almost at once Bobby saw Peter Rabbit. He saw the look of curi- osity in Peters face. Bobby grinned. Thanks, Peter said he, for the fine dinner l have enjoyed
 "DinnerI" exclaimed Peter Din ner! What dinner? And what are you thanking me for ,"
 Again Bobby grinned and his grin was broader than before. i've just had" said he, "a splendid dinner of eggs--the eggs of Mrs. Snapper the Shaping Turtle, and if you hadn't told me where they were I shouldn't have had that dinner"
 How could I tell you about them when I didn't even know Mrs. Snapper had any eggs?" demand ed Peter.
 Bobby chuckled. Some folks can tell more than they know" said he. And that was all Peter could get from him.

So please explain yourself"
 My lips twitched at two phrases of my mother-in-law Her mental slant toward my position as that of | her daughter-in-law and Chatelaine of the house. Never does the weight of responsibility for the housekeep- ing shift from her shoulders. Never does she fIil to call me to account as she would a child, for absence of mine unexplained to her. One thing her querulousness had | done for me. It had enabled me 10 seize upon the only excuse for my activities which possibly could satisfy her. Assuming the most mysterious air I could manage, put my lips to her ear.
 "It's a piece of government work" I whispered, about which Allen Drake has telephoned Lillian, But this afternoon will see it definitely over. Then I'll find out from Mrs Underwood how much l can tell you about it."
 I had spoken no word but the ab- solute truth, I told my conscience, and made a little bow to myself upon the success of my ruse. My mystery loving old mother-in-law whose sense of melodrama Is as highly developed as is Katie's. step ped back with brightening face and sparklingly eyes
 Don't say another word, Mar garrett" she said. "I understand per fectly. Hurry along on your errands and I shall await your explanation with interest"
 I climbed into the car without fur ther delay and during the trip 10 the bank and back l racked my brain to invent some explanation which should satisfy her without revealing the truth.

 She crossed both arms on the table and looked straight into Glo- ria's wide brown eyes. Listen to me, Glory Gregory" she said. T was dead tired of having people snub me. I wanted to be treated like a human being again -- to be respected instead of being summed like an outcast,
 Well, l figured that the one thing people do respect Is money They do, you know, They kow-tow 10 1t. They bow down and worship it. Not only that, but they worship the peo- pic who have it, So l made up my mind to get money, If had to go out and steal it, But instead of stealing it, l had mine stolen from me, Poetic justice, suppose, you'd call it."
 Poetic nothing. It's the wicked est thing l ever heard of" Gloria cried, jumping up. And l think this Waterbury ought 10 be found and iailed'-- Let's go down to see Dick. He could do something about it, I'm surel And we'll get him to take us out and buy us lunch at the kippiest place in toWn!"
 She caught Mays hand and raced her upstairs.
 Here are your bags all nn- in, fl,., ,,.I everything put neatly away! Don't you think I'm perfect hosteSs"- Why, what's the natter" Gloria asked, for May stood sobbins in the doorway of the dainty, chintz-h hung room.
 "I can't May answered T just can't -- go out and face people in this town again Now, don't tell me I'm silly! This morning as drove out from the station l passed Myra Gail, and tried to speak to her - and she looked right through me. as if I'd been so much thin air!" She groaned,
 "Myra Gail what she doce is NhruIy What O call the CHl pa jamas! She doesn't matter,' Gloria said loftilY. You powder your lace and buckle on your armor, and we'll go out and face the town with out the flicker of an eyelash.'
 Then. as she saw that May vas going to refuse, once more. she went on:
 "The only way to face life. May, Is to face it -- not to run away form it, or turn your back on 1t! Life's hard proposition, and you've got to be hard stuff if you're going 10 meet it properly, Come on - let's go.'
 And 50 May braced herself to meet her world.

Peter Rabbit scratched long ear with long hind foot, and then for a long time scratched the other long ear with the other long hind foot, a way he has of doing when he is pug zled. Bobby Coon had shuffled off in the moonlight along the bank of the Laughing Brook in the direction of the Smiling Pool Peter watched him out of sight all the time scratching his ears. Why had Bobby Coon been so interested in what Peter had told him about Mrs. Snapper the Snap ping Turtle digging on the roof of Jerry Muskrat's house? Why had Bobby so abruptly lost all interest in fishing and started off down the Laughing Brook? Why had he been so anxious to know exactly where Mrs. Snapper had dug that hole? Peter couldn't find a satisfactory answer to any one of these questions. So after a bit he started on after

After all the place of one child hood always remained the best loved place. And yet" thought May, T never can live here again. People will always remember that my husband shot himself because I ran around with another man."
 At that moment the taxicab slowed down as it rounded a corner, and she found herself looking into two cold gray eyes, set in face she knew - the face Of one of her oldest friends, Myra Gail.
 She stood on the sidewalk wait ing for the cab to pass. staring at May, but giving no other sign that she knew her. And May shrank back on the leather seat, trying to shield herself from the cold, sharp gaze.
 She was still trembling when the cab drew up before the shut tered house where Gloria and Dick lived. The door opnd and Gloria came out and ran down the steps toward her. "Oh, you darling! It's so good to see you again." she cried, and May flew into her arms
 Oh. she needed this! - This knowledge that someone in the world cared whether she lived or diedl She clung to Gloria, crying as if her heart were broken, while Gloria drew her up the steps and into the little house.
 Why. May, what in the worlds the matter?" Gloria asked, batting the shoulder of Mays hated black coat. Don't cry like this youll make yourself sick"
 "0h. l am sick sick and tired of everything!" May sobbed wildly, Everything, I tell you. e"
 Her voice thickened; she choked, slipped out of Gloria's arms and dropped down upon the bottom step Of the stairs, with her head buried in her arms. Huddlsd. she sat there,

of the night, when everything seem. ed even more hopeless than 1t had in broad daylight,
 Then, being practical at heart she suddenly jumped out of bed put on her dressing gown, and sat down to make her plans,
 First ot. all she wrote to Carlotta and told her that she had decided to spend the winter with her in California, after all that Is, fl Carlotta still wanted her.
 Then, after much biting Of the pen, she wrote to Gloria Gregory to tell her that she was coming to New Britain and would stop at the Gregorys. It was the one plaSe in the world, she said, where she was sure of welcome.
 Before her mood could change, she dressed, slipped out into the night, and posted the letters.
 Coming back 10 her ugly little room, she stood with her back against the door, wide-eyed-won- dering if she dared to write to Ulys- ses Forgan, and tell him how she had been robbed of all her money
 But why should I?" she argued with herself. "I hardly know the man.
 Curious thing this warm and friendly feeling she had for a per son whom she had seen but once in her life,
 Perhaps when I go back 10 New Britain, I'll zee him again. she said to herself.
 Somehow the thought was very comforting. She sighed as she got into her bed with it's icy sheets and lumpy mattress.
 Three days later she had shaken the dust of Atlantic City from her feet and started home.
 Home She hadn't realized that New Britain meant home to her un- til now!
 But, as she whirled through the familiar streets, under the familiar trees, on her way to Dick Gregory's house, she discovered tenderneS in her heart for these things.

THE STORY so FAR:

May Seymour. whose husband killed himself because of her love affair with another man, returns to her home town after a years ab- sence. She sells her property and with her small fortune sets out to find and marry man with money. She tells her lawyer. Dick Gregory, and Gloria, his wife, that love means nothing in her life."
 At Atlantic City she meets a di- vorcee, Carlotta Frolking, and her friends, Herbert Waterbury and Dan Sprague. Both men pay court to May, greatly to the distress of Carlotta, who has been in love with Dan for years.
 But May sets her cap for Water bury, who, she thinks. Is the rich husband she is looking for, Tn her effort to land" him she spends a third of her little fortuse on clothes.
 But as time goes on and he doesn't propose, she accepts Car lotta's invitation to winter with her in California. Then suddenly Wa terbury asks her 10 marry him, and May promises to be his wife at once before he has a chance to change his mind.
 A few days before the marriage, May turns over to Waterbury all the rest of her money, so that he can invest it for her. But she im- mediately regrets this when Car lotta, leaving for California, warns her not to trust Waterbury.
 Worried, May goes to Waterbury and demands that he return her money to her. She waits for him 10 bring it to her in the lobby of the hotel but he never returns; and May finds herself penniless. She sells her jeWelry to pay her hotel Dill. moves to cheap boarding house, and tries to steel herself to go back to work as a stenographer to support herself But 10 years of ease have softened May and made her lazy and she finally decides 10 sell her fur coat, rather than get job at once.

Bobby Coon. He just had to know what Bobby was about
 Bobby shuffled along quite rapidly. He didn't stop, as he usually does, to everything that catches his eye. He just kept right on until he reached the edge of the Smiling Pool where the Laughing Brook flows into it. There he sat for few moments staring over at the house of Jerry Muskrat. Peter took great care that Bobby shouldn't know that he nad been following, He sat down where he could watch Bobby. but where he could himself be unseen. Bobby began to wade into the water. He was wading straight out for Jerry Muskrat's house. When the water got deep enough Bobby began 10 swim. When he reached the house he climbed out on the roof, He shook himself. Then he began to hunt very care fully all over that roof. Peter could see him very plainly in the moon light.
 Bobby seemed to know when he had found the place where Peter had seen Mrs. Snapper the snapping Turtle digging a hole. Anyway, it was right there that Bobby Coon began to dig. He pulled out the dead rushes and the mud with those little black hands of his. He worked fast, did Bobby Coon. At last he took something out - something white, went to the edge of the water. washed it and then ate it. Al once he went back to that hole arsl

 Goodnight, my love. Long before this you have sat in the nursery with your boys on either side of YOU.

Madge Gets Away For Her Interview
 With Steve
 Determinedly I put away from me all speculation as to Fanny PoWell's mental peculiarities. l would have time for that, l told myself, when this hectic day should be over She was safe. in Katherine's wise care. beyond the possibility of harming either herself or anyone else, and l could shelve all thought of her until the more vital problem presented by Steve" was disposed of definitely,
 It was with the feeling which l imagine a spurred horse might eX- rerience that I sat down at Dicky's desk 10 write a check. 1 was com pelled to use a blank check because I could not find, in the desk that Fanny Powell had wrecked. the check book of the city bank in which my fathers emergency fund for me was deposited. How much money should draw to give Steve in order that he might get safely away before the operative sent by Allen Drake came on from New York to apprehend? him
 knew to a penny the balance which lay to my credit and knew also that my father had made dis tinct sacrifices 10 put that money aside fore me. He had meant it for some grave emergency, and though I reflected that I could contemplate nothing much worse than the pres ent problem confronting me, yet no nniser ever more reluctantly decided to give. up money than did l as l made out the check for two hun dred dollars, a sum which cut down my balance materially.
 To think that my pittance should b. depleted to defeat the ends of Justice for a scoundrel who richly deserved whatever the law might have in store for him! But I must not think of that. 1 told myself. as l plotted the check.
 Don't Say Another Word.'
 Thrusting 1t Into my purse, l hurried downstairs and out 10 my car. But even as I reached it, Mother Graham hailed me and ] knew that could not get away until I had given her some explanation of my errand.
 What in the world is the matter Margaret" she asked querulously'
 The question was one which had been dresdng and I summoned all my facilities to meet the emergency, It was simply impossible for me to tell her of the recent developments in the case of "Steve." Her belief was Arm that the blackmailing tramp was in reality her step-son and Dickys half-brother. To bring her the knowledge of his danger of
