lant little whine pierced Nan's turbulent rebellion. shc had flung herself into her desk chair and had buried her head on her arms. o "No!' Nan sasp"d, without rais- fhg her head. Be quiet I'm not goins to wait on you all m"rfiing:"
 The child's voice was lifted in q sudden, car-snirting howl, but Mar ltsolut"ly paid no attention to him She could not rema:n inac:.Ne however. There was that filing which was to have gone over untH after Christmas; two or three un- important letters that might as well be answered now as later; that Supreme Court opinion to b. looked up
 Now and then, as. she worked her. eyes fell upon the package which Curt had brought her. Let it lie there, silly thing:
 "Nanp, wanna scissors and pasto," The little boy trflo sub dued by her angry Ignoring of his presence began to follow her abou. tho office, his voice plaintive Gn" coaXing by turns. Mana. I'm hungry l wanna cup O hot choc,.- late Mana! . Mama wanna go see SIndy Claus. Mama. ."
 Nan shook him off rcsolutely. But when at last ho gave up ana sat hudIlcd forDornly in one of the 1,,rr ,L,;,- ..,rc p1i,,;,o Jou-- cheeks that were always frignJen- ingly pale. Nan was stricken With rcmorsc and pity. After all. it was not the child's fault. He probabl, wished to he there rs rtt;e as sAt wanted him. and no child of six could be expected to amuse him self in an office for two hours with out help.
 Smiling at him for in" first time tha. morning. sho hastoncd 10 get out the old battered typewriter which had been rclegatcd 70 the s'atus of playthin": sot it on tho .d-e Of a taolc. added paper, scis. sors, pasto pot and colorcd crayons Then hr"ausa his fearful smile touched h,r botrt she drew q big not very clever picture of santa C'aUs stepping into a chimney with his pack on his back.
 "Now you draw one just like T for Nm" she told him. "1re 20, to work, honcv"
 tje was so quiet. so napriiy nusy for the n'Nt hour that Nan, with tho cockincss Of a girl who has noycr had child to rear. coneratu- lated horsolf "Nou just have to bn firm with them, Hes good as gold since 1 disciplined him."
