 CHAPTER VI
 Never once during the first few years of their married life did Jill ever call attention, by word or ac- ton, to the folly of paying rent, when they could have had their rent free, as we'll as their heat and light.
 But if Jill carried the burden of her husbands foolish pride with a brave front and an uncomplainlng tongue, that was no reason, accord ine to the opinions of her brother, why they should do the same.
 AS . matter of fact, neither Peter nor Tony overlooked any opportunity of telling their new relative that he was not only . fool. but vas selfish as we'll. There came time, too, when Father Ryan saw Jack Stu arts so-called independence as new form of "mulishness.

 His eyes being free for the mo- ,nsnf. he glanced at Peter and Tony. The latter said not a word. and hls tarent followed suit. Whereup. Jack repeated his statement. linen Tony spoke.
 'I heard you tn first time, Jack he drawled. with laconic oreVlty' but who cares about tax titles:
 Jack Stuart looked at his young lrotber-in-law with large tolerance. a. look that bespoke kindly for g.earance and consideration for youthful ignorance.
