the house when Beau's new-found
friend arrived.
IF Aunt EN- knew that Beau
was running around with a girl
she'd throw him out of the house
head first" thought Sally, hurry
ing into some fresh clothes and
running quick comb through
the soft, dark waves Of her hair.
The hall clock was Ginning the
half hour after S when the front
door bell rang sharply. Button.
ing her cuffs, Sally flew down the
stairs.
The girl who stood waiting on
the front porch was just the sort
of girl she would expect Beau to
pick out. She was dark and slen-
der and flashy looking, as Mabel
had been in those care-free days
before she had had a husband
and a baby.
There we're dimples in her
cheeks, and a particularly bright
lips were a cash of scarlet in her
small face. When she spoke her
voice had the same brassy quail
ity that Mabels voice had:
Are you Buds sister? Is he
here yet?'
Sally opened the screen door
and let her in. She stepped into
the hall, and sweeping odor of
heliotrope perfume came in with
her. She jingled as she walked
bead fringe on her handbag, a
dozen bracelets on her slender
bare arms, anklets under her
chiffon stockings.
Wont you come in here,
The Washington times., 1927-12-12

you were the Jane who used to
get lunch for old Peevey and
work Sundays, and do all such
foolishness."
Sally nodded briefly. II am
that very Jane" she answered,
borrowing Mabefs slang. That's
why | can give you the advice l
am giving now"
Mabel shrugged her shoulders.
I don't know. He said some
awfully nice things about the
work you did for him, this after
noon,'' said she, and went up-
stairs with the warmed milk
bottle that Sally thrust into her
hands.
The next morning at 7:45 Mabel
started off for the street car and
John Nye's office.
Beau rolled away in his red car
a half hour later, and Millie
stayed in bed. where she was
having glorious sleep. She had
announced the night before that
she would have all her meals in
bed that day. and enjoy a we'll
earned rest. She called it a we'll
earned rest. herself.
At that afternoon fhe tele-
phone rang. and SALLY answered it.
Hello! said shrill. young
feminine voice. rs Bud Jerome
there?"
Some queer instinct telegrapned
to Sally and told her that the
high little voice belonged to the
mysterious cutie" who had been
with Beau on the Saturday night
party that had turned out so
badly for him and for Mabel. not
to mention his red automobile.
The Washington times., 1927-12-12

an office now, when she has a
little new baby-and you haven't
any time to look after that baby"
Aunt Em knew nothing about
Beau's Saturday night escapade,
and about Mabel's determination
to have a home of her own for
him to support.
Sally did not enlighten her now.
"Oh, she may as well work as
hang around here doing nothing
all day." was all she said to her
aunt, and they let it go at that.
They never talked much when
they were working.
That night Mabel came home
with the astounding news that
she was taking Miles position
in John Nye's office.
She, did not tell Millie about 1t.
And she was not on speaking
terms with her Don Juan hus-
band. so she did not mention it
to him.
But she told Sally and Aunt
En- about it proudly, coming
straight through the house to
them.
Aunt En- had nothing to say,
and Sally had very little.
But what she did say was to
the point, and she said it with
certain bitterness that was unlike
her.
well. work for him IL you
want to-" she told Mabel. not
looking up from the napkins she
was ironing, but don't do any
little extra things for him. He'll
only make fun of you if you do"
What do you mean?" asked
Mabel plainly puzzled. II thought
The Washington times., 1927-12-12

} She turned and rushed upstairs
to get dressed. I'll have to see
her when she comes" she thought
anxiously. ''and get rid of her
before Mabsv gets home!"
Once more the telephone rang,
and she ran downstairs to answer
it. hoping that by some lucky
chance it might be Beau's lady
love again.
But it was only q Western
Union girl to read a telegram
from Mrs. Jerome: "Send me a
hundred dollars right away, and
get a room ready for your
father; bringing him home right
away. MOTHER"
CHAPTER LII
IF Aunt En- had one human
weakness in her makeup. it
was her affection for Sally's
father.
He might be the black sheep OF
the family. He might have won

Q

her scorn by deserting his family
years before. But she loved him
nevertheless as a very upright
and capable human being will
love one who is weak and full of
faults.
So Sally went straight to her
with the message from her
mother.
Nov. isn't that Just like them:
Sending to me for a hundred dol
lars just as If could go and
pick 1t off one Of those bushes in
the back yard!' cried Aunt EN-,
waving her arm angrily toward
the red currant bushes that filled
triangle of ground beyond the
driveway. They're like a couple
of crazy children-your mother
and father. They have no more
sense than a pair of babies"
She busted some flour from
her slender hands, united her
aprons, and still scolding, hurried
upstairs to get some money from
the photograph album in her
trunk. She always kept bills IN
between the pages of the old
album. No burglar. she always
maintained, would think of look
ing for money in between the
pictures of Grandfather Jerome
and Aunt Katy and all the rest
OF the Jeromes who had been
dead for many years.
Sally was relieved when she
saw her climb into her car and
roll down the driveway in the
direction of the nearest telegraph
office, to wire Mrs. Jerome the
money she wanted.
She did not want Aunt Em in

she told herself. Love-oh, a ra.

meet feariessly and in the beauty

women and some men were like
that. They must be, else how
could ideals go on?
And yet--and yet
Wheels rolled softly above the
hill and stopped. A moment later
two came down the road; they
walked to the railing and stood
there. facing each other. Emily
had a fleeting impression OF ruddy

filtered through for an instant:

Then she faced Beau's lady love.

Early in the afternoon, while

came down to the kitchen where
Sally and Aunt EN- were cut

them with flour for frying.
She was dressed for the street,

face was rouged, and a strong
smell of violet water came from
her as she stood in the doorway.

of staying at home and looking
after your baby?" Aunt En-
