But on his particular evening he
seemed to be absent-minded. He
made two silly mistakes. He
neglected to lock the front door
and instead slipped back the
latch. The door leading from
the hall to the kitchen and the
maids room he fastened care
fully and turpSd the key so that
she was locked In.
He was smiling softly TO MINI

and went upstairs.
After he had been In bed about
two hours he suddenly found
Aileen sitting up beside him, shak-

Billy had not been asleep, but
he proceeded to give an imitation

"I'lI try and think" said Billy,
and for the time being the mat

discussed between them. but Billy
Allen was doing id powerful
amount Of thinking. Finally there
came to him an idea which
seemed to offer q solution to the
problem. 1t would cost a little
money, but it would be money
spent in a good cause. The main
thing was to say nothing to
Aileen, who was very scrupulous
In some things.
The next afternoon when he ar
rived home from the office he
was carrying a fairly large and
weighty package. "a little gift,
my DEAR" said he to his wife,
and handed 1t to her.
She opened 1t eagerly and with
many EXPLANATIONS of delight
found he had brought her a case
Of flat plate. knives, forks,
spoons and SO forth, a half dozen
of each.
''For everyday use," he ex.
planned. 'The good stuff we can

We had just finished settling
ourselves when gentleman call

who was in the banEng business.
He was very polite 20 us and i'm
mediately invited us to go to the
bank with him and meet his
friends.
1t was only natural for Bobby
to want to see the big vault
where the money was kept. That
Is always an interesting thing to
little boys and girls-in fact it
is to me. So the gentleman took
us down to the big vault where

gold coins and piles and piles of

about q week later. Her first
question, after she had glanced
around the room, was: where's

Nervously and eebly, very
feebly, Aileen tried to explain.

were met by an indignant snort
from her aunt. How Ridiculous!

girl.
In such q manner did the

Aileen was continually explain

amount Of explaining could ex-
cuse its presence. Aileen felt
SO herself and was unhappy and
disgruntled.
She began finding herself ready
to snap at Billy on the slightest
provocation and once they al
most quarreled badly over some
trivial thing. Billy guessed what
the whole trouble was and had
q long talk with Aileen.
"That D. bowl Of Aunt Hor-

said.
Aileen came over to him and

Billy smiled grimly. THE only
