about your father, Lucille"
"Weil, It's the truth. Who cares
about nice ways rowadays7 How
can he come back when he hasn't
q penny Be sensible. Use your
brains II you have any-but, Of
course, you haven't. Anyway I'm
not taking orders from either OF
you and I'm not going back to
Arizona"
But we can't leave you here
alone, unless"-Mrs. Travers sat UP
suddenly--"you're going 10 marry
that artist fellow. Is that II, Luz
ellie? OF course that makes diff.
ference. Still, II you love him like
I loved your Pa"
"Oh, forget I'll Much you know
about love-" Lucille laughed bitter.
ly. you don't need TO worry about
me. I'll have Trotter pack my
things Calls creditors needn't think
they can take themp And she
fiounced away TO her own rooms.
Mrs. Travers patted her eyes,
though no tears came from them
now. After oil they'd done for Luz
ellie, how could she talk TO her own
mother like that? OF course Lucille
was very stylish, and may be her
parents weren't Just what she'd
have liked, but they were her par
ents. Surely she should have some
respect for them. But then, chill
dren nowadays were ashamed OF
their parents, treated them some
thing awful. Lucille had been O
cute little kid when they were in
Arizona, before Cal made his big
strike.
Mrs. TraverS sighed. What II
Cal hadn't treated her just the way
he should during these years he'd
been 80 rich? He needed her now,
and she was ready TO 80 with him.

looked at her that morning IN o
way that had made her think OF
the day 80 many years ago when
he had asked her to marry him.
Again her thoughts veered to Luz
ellie. The girl didn't act aS though
she belonged to them at oil. She
had no sympathy for her father,
no kind word for her mother. Mrs.
TraVers drew In her lips aS she
tried 10 keep them from trembling,
She had made mistakes and she
knew II now. Money was not every
thing In life. Madame Lizette had
certainly demanded lot. But
there-she wouldn't think about II
any more. Thinking could not
bring II back 10 her.
"You mean" Natalie exclaimed,
