Department of Agriculture that they
will not be- needed after he takes Of
flee, is adding impetus to this talk.
Still another factor that is directing
interest towards a State civil service
law, is that all the employees in the
new social security organizations to
be set up in the State, will be under
civil service. State employees and a
good many members of the General
Assembly are coming to be of the OPP
inion that all State employees should
have the same protection and the
same assurance of security as those in
the social security agencies.
1t is agreed, of course, that newly
elected State officials and department
heads should and must have the right
to discharge those who are inefficient
or who are UNABLE to cooperate with
the new regime. But it is. also main
tanned that those who are efficient
and do their work properly and well
should be assured Of a certain degree
of security in their jobs, even though
new official is elected by the people
to head their department. If after. the
new official takes charge, he finds
some employees who are not efficient
and who do not cooperate as he thinks
they should, he can get rid of these,

I'm going away myself and came
to say goodby."
They set up a dismal howl at
that. Joan climbed on his knee
and sobbed.
Don't leave us. Marian and l
had arranged for you to marry
mummy and be our second father"
"Joan, you mustn't let anyone
hear you saying such things. You
must be as kind as you can to your
mother. / shall be coming back,
and want to hear good report of
you both"
But, uncle" Marian said, open
ing her great eyes wide, 1--WE saw
you kissing mummy one night
we were behind the curtain"
"You both deserve a spanking
for watching. Now promise to
look after your mummy and when
1 get to London I'll send you down
some presents"
They dried their tears at that
and wished him goodby. but as he
was going out, Marian caught him
by the sleeve.
do you know what Mrs. Thorn
ton says about you?"
"E haven't an idea" He smiled
at the earnest little face looking
seriously at him.
'She told us that you had muir
dered father, so that you could
marry mummy"
For moment Colindale's face
went white and he bit his lip.
Then she is a lying old cat. and
deserves a horsewhippingw
I'VE told her we didn't think it
was true" Joan said, in a tone of
disappointment. "Of course, we
didn't think you had murdered him
really, but you might have fought
for mummy like the knights of
old"
Don't talk such rubbish, and
don't you let anyone hear you."
They cried little when he went.
Jack Reid attended the funeral
of Sir Henry Severinge in the Alb
hey chapel, hoping to catch a
glimpse of Sylvia. She sat between
the children, silent and attentive,
never raising her eyes during the
solemn service. It was the first
funeral that he had ever attended,
and the artist in him drank in the
scene like some rare wine from the
lsecret storehouse of kings long
dead.
| The shafts of sunlight from the
lovely stained-glass windows made
a checkerwork of deep blue and
crimson and amethyst on the pave
ment Of the chapel, overpowering
the pale flames Of the candles on
the altar and at the. corners Of the
bier. The glorious and eternal
colors of heaven contrasting with
the glinmering rays emblenatic
of the brevity of life in their flu
tility and transience.
The slender ascending columns
breaking at the roof into lace-like
! tracery of stone figured the. aspira-

James stood rigid by the door,
which he had closed behind him.
IF you will pardon my saying
so, m'lady, l do not see that the
money makes any difference. 1
am quite happy here, and if you
wish it, am content to stay on"
But not as butler. surely,
James ?" Colindale INTERVIEWED.
GAS butler. Perhaps you are
hardly aware of the fact that for
some time my poor old master was
in the habit of placing his affairs
IN my hands, and l have been
more or less in control of every
thing except the outdoor staff. l
should not like to leave the Abbey,
to which 1 am deeply attached"
II think it is very good of you,
James, and am all the more
grateful, as Mr.. Colindale will be
going away for a fairly long holi-
day, so l shall be all alone. I
would be glad if you would carry
on es you have done in the past"
James bowed gravely. Thank
you. mlady. l should not like to
leave this house until the mystery
surrounding the murder of my
master has been solved"
Colindale started at the words.
Somehow the murder had sunk to
the background with the urgent
need to come to a decision with
regard to the immediate future.
Then l am afraid" Colindale
said, you must make up your
mind to spending the rest Of your
life here"
James ignored the remark, with
out rudeness, however, and turned
to Lady Sewerage. Then l am
to understand that you will accede
to my request, m'lady?" he said
suavely.
Certainly. and may / say this,
James, Lady Severinge spoke
feelingly-"I think. you have put it
most cOurteously, considering that
you are practically master of the
house ?"
THANK you, m'lady. l shall not
exceed my duties, nor interfere in
any way. You may rely on my
services"
He backed out of the room as
though from the presence of royal
ty, and COlindale fiared out.
Damned old humbug! OF course
he wants to stay and keep an eye
on the place. Wait till we are
married, Hilda; l shall have some.
