They made their way through the roar

both at once, and in minute they were
seated close together in the deep back seat

He said it evenly, matter off actly, but

perfect happiness. He wondered sensitivelv
II any of the fellows had noticed that his
mother hadn't come with his father: to meet
him. and if they had thought it queer.
They had no right to think it queer, he
told himself rather angrily. There were
lots of reasons why mother might not
come to the station. She might have a cold
or something. He hoped they had thought
she had cold.

aloud.

In the grillroom of great hotel he waxed
merry again, stimulated by the unaccus-

tasted like mama from heaven. He talked
necessarily, even when his mouth was so
full as to make his words almost unintelli-
gible. He became eloquent and brandished
his fork in oratorical gestures He deliv-
cred himself of multitude of stored-up boy

always saw an answering sympathetic
amusement in his fathers face that was
delightful.
He felt a little sorry when at last his
father said:
Anything else you'd like, son? If not,
We'll go. It's about time I was sending
you out to your mothers
Aren't you coming with me?' Peewee
begged. 'Oh please, dad You come with

to retain it. He turned his face to the VIM

of a grubby hand to still its quivering.
You see, he was only 1912, this small
Peewee.
''You aren't listenng'' Eddie accused
plaintivey.
II was looking at that lake we just
passed. What did you say, Eddie?''
Il asked you whereabouts in Boston your
house isl
Worse! Much worse. The darned old
fool. why couldn't he stop asking so many
questions? Peewee knew moment of fierce
hatred for his laundering companion, but
he replied, with mastery attempt at calm:
II got two houses. Ones big one on
Beacon street, and ones an apartment on
Commonwealth avenue"
''And do you live in both of 'em:'
'Uh-uh'
Eddie's eyes widened in astonishment
What's the big idea?' he exclaimed.
1--WE have two houses, too, but ones in
Maine. for summer. I never heard of hav-
ing two in the same city and living in both
of EN-
Peewee hesitated. 1t was not in his ma
ture to lie about this thing, or any other
thing. He simply couldn't lie: but like
many people to whom this helpful method
of avoiding tight places is impossible, he
could equivocate, and did, as follows:
"Mother likes an apartment better, and
dad likes house better; so we keep both
going at once"
"Oh!" said Eddie, and appeared to medi-
tate.
Peewee watched him from the corner of
furtive eye, fearful of his next remark
One more question, and the whole CHASTITY
truth must come out but Eddie didn't ask
the question. Apparently satisfied. he
veered to a description of his own home
and Peewee breathed again.
A T BACK BAY Eddie left him, one of

the aisle to the door, shouting good-bys, and
treading each on the heels of the next in
their eagerness to be out. From the win
dow Peewee had brief glimpse of dimly
lit platform peopled with waiting parents
in pairs-aiways in pairs Then the train
went on and brought him to the South
Station.
His father was there to meet him. From
afar Peewee's eyes could. pick him out-a
big, handsome figure in a swinging raccoon
coat and felt hat set on at a slightly
rakish angle. He experienced an exultant
surge Of pride His father! His!

him sit there close beside her, held his hand
and demanded that he should tell her "every
single thing
So Peewee began to talk, and his mother
listened with the same rapt attention that
his father had accorded him, interrupting
with a question now and then, and laughing
often.
He loved to tell things to his mother.
She always seemed to understand every
thing so perfectly. and to enjoy what he
enjoyed, as if they were of an, age. She
had a way of saying, ''And then, of course,
YOU did so and so''-of guessing what was
to come next-that Peewee found mysterious
but charming.
She produced a giant slab of most de
licious cake at precisely the moment when
Peewees dinner was sufficiently thing Of
the past to permit of enthusiastic enjoy
ment She was, he reflected, an absolutely
perfect mother!
1t was while he was eating the cake, saw
ing the frosting until the last so that the
process might end up in the purest choco-
late glory, that he heard the horn of his
fathers car, unmistakably, outside in the
street. They both heard it. His mother

sparkle, met Peewee's.
There's your father" she observed
tonelessly
"Yes," Peewee said. Eyes. that's dad.
I'll have to go. s'pose."
He did not move.
His mother took both his hands in those
of hers that were so white and small and
soft, yet so oddly strong. She peered into
his face. as if she would read his mind.
.'You don't want to 60, dear?'
NO" Peewee said 'Only-well, it's
dad
Mrs. Pendleton moved across to a win
dow fronting the street, pulled aside the
curtains, and looked out. With her back
toward Peewee, she said,
go out and ask your father to come in
for moment. I should like to speak to
him.
After an amazed moment, Peewee sped
OFF on this errand, his heart high. Dad was
coming in! Mother had wanted dad to
come in! They would be all together, the
three of them. in his mothers apartment!
1t was years since the three of them had
been together. Mother had said-why,
maybe that meant-maybe everything was
going to be all right from now on!
He reached the sidewalk. painting, and
flung himself against the door of the waiting
limousine.
"Dad!' he shrilled. Come in! She
wants you to come in J"
He saw his fathers face, strangely white
In the gloom.
''She what? What is it, son?''
Mother wants you to come in! She
told me to tell you she wants to see you.
Hurry, dad!"
Mr.. Pendleton hesitated, and Peewee ter
ror-stricken, felt that he was going to re-
fuse. Then he alighted, threw a word to
the chauffeur, and walked beside Peewee into
the apartment house.

noticed nothing.
Sure 1 do - he said. II should say
do, but wish didn't have to leave you.'
IN come after you in few hours his
father told him. ut won't be long"
They were silent throughout the drive
to the apartment house on Common
wealth avenue. Mr.. Pendleton sat up very
stiff and straight. staring ahead into the twi-
light. Peewee nestled close to him. and
also stared ahead, his thoughts tinged once
more with the old familiar hurt. His father
then his mother-but never the supreme
happiness of both of them near him at once
He longed achingly to, do something about
it, but there didn seem to be anything he
. could possibly do
They swept up to the curb before an
ornate facade, and Peewee stepped out. He
turned beseeching young eyes upon his
father. hoping against hope that Mr. Pen
dleton might change his mind and come with
him. but knowing quite well that he would
not.
'You remember which apartment it is,
son?''
"Yes, / know
I'm be back for you about o'clock,
then. And, SON.

His father leaned toward him from the
gloom of the limousine and fixed him with
grave, searching glance.
"Don't-you won't believe anything your
mother may say-er-about me. will your
mo, / won't, dad Peewee promised
wonderingly.
Still wondering, Peewee went in to meet
his mother.
On, BUT she was beautiful. his mother!
~ Tall and slender and sweet smelling,
with eyes like stars and golden hair that
rippled away from her face in even, per-
feet waves. She reminded Peewee of the
princesses in the fairy tales that he still
read secretly at school. when the fellows
weren't around. He threw his chubby arms
about her, and stood on the tips of his toes
to kiss her smackingly, over and over.
'Oh, mother, you look so nice!'' he
sighed.

me? IL thought you were never coming !"
