thing, now, ere run out of sight
And then the tubes of paste said
Gee, the TIMES were real kind to
me. I got much better treatment
here than any place I've been.

terribly eligible" She wondered if
Mrs. BENEFITS niece was attractive
and tried not to hate her.
She turned from the window and
lighted another candle. a thick one
that stood in a heavy holder and
gave of a light that was strong
enough for reading.
She would go into the library,
she decided, and choose a book to
read in her room. Something heavy.
Something that would make her
sleepy, so she wouldn't lie awake
through the long evening waiting
for John Mcneil to leave Mrs.
Benefits niece.
Ignoring Penny because Of her
strange rudeness, she left the room,
went to the library and carefully
selected her book. 1t was Haw-
thorne's Moses From an Old
Manse," certainly sleepy title. She
came out into the hall again and
as she was going toward the stairs
she was arrested by her own re-
Election in the tall pier glass that
stood against the wall.
II make a pretty pictured" she
thought in surprise. She was aes-
thetic enough to appreciate it OBJ
jectively, and honest enough to ad-
NIT it.
The mirror reflected a lovely
young girl framed in Pickering
light, holding a candle and a book,
and about to ascend a winding stair.
But suddenly the mirror showed
her something else of interest. An
other picture. 1t reflected the
shadowy dining room behind her.
At the table stood Penny, her &C.
tivities etched by the light of a
candle that stood on the table be-
side her. She was cutting away
half the cake and wrapping it in a
napkin. She was doing it hastily
and slyly.
Well" thought Ruth. "Of all
things! It's her own cake. Why on
earth does she have to act that way
about it?"
She went hurriedly up the stairs
as if she had seen nothing, and
when she had gained her own room
and closed her door, she carefully
locked it.
She thought, tits just as John
told me. Old Bertha Gibbs is
queer. Maybe worse"
She remembered how the old
creature had acted about the blue
paint on the door. How she had
said, SO queerly and senselessly,
that she couldn't touch brush to it
because the quarter moons past!"
ut doesn't make sense" Ruth ad-
mitted thoughtfully as she I'M
dressed. Furthermore, when
questioned her about the telegram
tonight she looked at me as if she
hated me. That doesn't make sense
either"
