 There was a subtle admiring com- mendation In his voice that never had been there even in the days when I had most reason 10 be jsal- ous of Edith Fairfax. Always before this last year his references 10 the girl had been tinged with the pat roninzins amused tenderness which he displays toward attractive femin- inc inetficiency But I realized, not for the first time, that their rela- tons had changed. They were no longer the successful artist and his adoringly grateful protegee. Instead they were comrades, working to- gether in an enterprise In which both were yitally concerned. It was an intimacy infinitely more perllous to their peace of mind and mine than the other.
 Dicky pushed back his plate, rose and walked 10 the telephone.
 "1'll try the office," he said, "al- though if she's down this early she ought to be switched"
 There was tender concern Tn his voice which was accentuated later, when his call to the office was answered. evidently by Edith her self.

who is really smart"
 Nanny Meadow Mouse began to giggle. It was squeaky little gig gle. Danny looked at her very hard. What are you laughing att" he demanded.
 Il am laughing at the good opin- ion of yourself you seem to have" said she. You must think you are q whole lot smarter than Nibbler.'
 "l do," declared Danny promptly. "All Nibbler has to do is to keep out of the way of Black Pussy. You and I have to keep out of the way of Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk and all the members of the Hawk family and all the members of the Owl family, not to mention Blacky the Crow and Shadow the Weasel, and Q few others. Of course, we arc smarter. But we are going to have a very easy winter here. You must admit, Mamie, that l did well when 1 thought of coming up here in- stead of spending the winter down on the Green Meadows"
 Nanny was quite ready to admit this. In fact, she was highly pleas cd with her surroundings So she and Danny made themselves al home and were more pleased with each succeeding day. In fact, Dan. ny used to tease Black Pussy by showing himself, just by way o1 having a little excitement. He knew all about the ways of Robber the Rat and all the members oi Robbers big family. It was nc trouble at all to keep out of their way. There was plenty to eat with. out the trouble of hunting for it It was an easy life.
 And then one day, as Danny ana Nanny were peeping out to makt sure that Black Pussy was no about, they heard a great squeakint among the Rats. They heard tn, scampering of many little feet Danny looked at Nanny, and Nan ny looked at Danny. What do vol suppose has happened?" she whis pered.

 IL was with subConscious idea at least of this conjecture that l steadied myself as I listened 10 Dicky's proposal that we take over a furnished apartment on Riverside Drive which friends of Edith Fair fax were vacating for the winter because Of a projected sojourn in Bermuda,
 In my life with Dicky l always have proceeded on the theory that must give no inkling of the jealousy which l, together with many other women, camouflaGe beneath an ap- pearance Of nonchalance True, he sometimes laughingly accuses me Of being jealous but he more often re- sents what he terms my adiectived indifferent attitude toward his do- ings. l would far rather. however. have him consider me icy with in- difference than flaming with rage because of his interest in some other woman.
 Therefore 1t was with a distinct feeling of triumph over my primi- tive instinct 10 strike and claw at Dicky's mention of Edith Fairfax that achieved an answer which be- trayed no hint of my rancor.
 "On the Drive, repeated. That sounds nt-resting. Do you know how large 1t Is? Have you seen it?"

 I allowed premeditated but ap- parently spontaneous little laugh to escape me.
