Eleanor Lincoln Turns Into . Little
Whirlwind.

WOlFlW1uU.
I was curious to see what Flea
nor Lincoln's behavior would be up
on her return to us from the car to
which she just had led the wolf
hound. which had refused to obey
anyone else save her. The whole cpl
sode had been so bizarre that 1t did
not seem possible for her to leave it
without explanation Of some sort.
But to my surprise she vouchsafed
nothing save a comment upon the
dog as she came up to US and ac-
cepted Noel's aid in climbing into
the car.
That's the most wonderful ami
NAL" she said. II do wish that cur
mudgeon OF a man would let me
have him. He doesn't know the first
thing about dogs. Anybody can see
that. and it's a crime for a dog to
be controlled by anyone who doesn't
understand him. There's no more
sensitive soul in the world than that
Of thoroughbred dog. Dear Mrs.
Graham, II he does find someone to
introduce him to you, won't you try
to persuade him to let me have the
dog until his owner returns?"

1 Mothers Just left" she greeted
Sally. IF you hurry you can catch
her. Be sure to come tomorrow"
1t was very clear that she wanted
to be alone with Davidson.
But Sally did not take the broad
hint that she gave her. Instead she
came on into the room and sat down
on the wide window sill.
There was dead silence for a min
| ute.
Then Mile spoke again.
"Would you take that thermos Jug
on the dresser out into the hall and
get 1t filled for me, Sally?" she esk-
ed sharply. 1.-THE nurse is out there,
probably gossiping with some OF her
cronies. That's all they do all day,
it seems to me-"
Sally picked up the thermos bot
tie. 1: was heavy and she could
tell that 1t was quite full. But she
dutifully carried it out into the hall,
stood there with it in her hands for
five minutes. and then carried 1t
back into the room.
Mile and Davidson were talking
in low tones. their heads close to-
eether. But they sprang apart
when she pushed open the door.
Davidson got up from his low
chair beside Miles bed.
well, it's time for us to be go
ing, isn't it, Sally?" he asked. and
Sally saw the questioning look that
came into Miles face.
whats this you're doing? Rid
ing around with him, when you
know he belongs to mel" that look
said as plainly as a Geographic mes
sage.
For the first time her light-blue
ewes that were full OF sparkling
anger. seemed to see Sally as she
was. As she looked to the world or
men. Fresh and pretty and
wholly desirable.
She reached for a paper package
that lay on the lower shelf OF her
bedside table. Here's some night
gowns I've worn. Wash them and
bring them back to me. need
them" she said, with never please
or a thank you.
SALLY took them-not meekly. but
calmly. And holding the package
against her breast, she leaned
across the bed to kiss Mile.
But Mile turned her Sowing
face away. Don't kiss mel" she
said. with a make-believe shudder
I'm SO nervous that I just want to
be let alone-by everybody"
But when it came to shaking
hands with Davidson, it was far
different matter. She chung to him
with one hand, patting his arm with
\he other, and made him promise
to come to see her again soon.
"And bring me chocolates-bitter-
sweet chocolates" she called after
him. "You know the kind-with
black walnuts in them"
Mile had got back her appetite
at last.
IT don't believe she liked the
idea of my driving home with you,
Sally remarked to him when they
were out in the late sunshine in the
mill-stream of traffic.
II like 1t, though" he replied, Il
like it better than I've liked any
thing in long time" He laughed.
He was in a very good humor and
drove Sally several miles out Of her
way home before he finally dropped
her at her door in Trellis street.
Mrs. Jerome was in her armchair
in the sitting room when Sally went
upstairs. She had brought a new
