And beyond all doubt, 1t was a
bad thing for Beau to have no
home of his own to keep going.
Beau was the kind of man who

Sally, who was peeling pota-

and hurried to the front of the
house to meet her, thinking that
she had come home with sick
headache or something of the
kind.
But Millie was far from being

danger signal.

She had come halfway down

shaking Millie by both arms.
Millie was tipsy, but not so
tlpsy that she couldn't defend
Beau, as she always had. ever
since they were cunning twin
babies. Her face became blank
with that miraculous blankness
that she could put on like

What girl?" she repeated. "I

but she remained silent.
All the time Sally was helping
her out of her rumpled, perfumed
clothes, and into her sheer, pink
muslin nightgown, she pretended
to be deaf and dumb, so far as
Mabel was concerned. She would
neither listen to her nor answer

And, looking the very picture

Sally. Indignantly of Mabel, when
