a way Of hitting the nail on the

Sally had no answer for her.
Long after Aunt Emily had van

her arm, Sally pondered that Gues-
ton . . How could she keep Beau
and Mabel from coming to the flat

1t was Mile who finally answered

there by the sunny window.
Outside the sky was blue and the
air was full Of the first tang Of
autumn. From the yard below zane
the cheerful whistle of Ted Sloan
as he washed his car, muddy from

"WelI, there's nothing in the pa

Mile, dropping three Jumps of sugar
into her coffee and adding a half
cupfull Of cream. Maybe they didn't
get married after a~ll-although
Beau's been carrying q m~arriage-li-

HAS he ?" asked Sally, surprised.
She never was in on Beau's affairs
the way his twin was.
Mile nodded, smacking her lips
daintily over the coffee.
"Ye weekum! But that coffee's

around money!
She swung around suddenly, and
faced her sister.
"Millie, what are we going to do

was a light-hearted happy sound, as

Sally bent to pick up the pages that
Mrs. Jerome had scattered all over
the carpet. "She's able to do a few
things for herself, I should think
Why do you wait on her, hand, foot

"Why not?" asked Sally with a
shrug of her pretty shoulders, "the
papers got TO be picked up sooner

easy to carry the ~eoffee-pot into the

She stopped for a second to let
that sink in, and then went briskly
on.
