"Then you stay, Jean, and I'll go
with my wife!"
"Listen, honey, go out and get the
car and put us in it, and then, if
you must phone DR.. Chivers to come
to the house. I'll have him phone you
after he's seen mother. There's moth
ing the matter with her but fatigue,
land-sickness after a rough trip, and
the excitement" she coaxed.
But Rupert, unconvinced, thrust past
her into the hallowed precincts Of the
ladies' room.
Laurel, however, backed Jean up
'I'm feeling ever so much better now
but"-with a wan smile -"I think
Jean is right. It's bed I need. She's
going to tuck me in, and coddle me a
bit. Then, when I'm sleeping, want
her to come back to her lovely party,

Edward Americas Baker is dead.
For fifty years he lived in tumbled

"Make" Baker, as he was called,
was SO years of age the 31st day Of
July. For the last two years of his life
his health has been failing and on
Wednesday he was taken i'll at the

was taken to his home and died some
time Wednesday night, last week.

terloper, but it was their mother she
was thinking Of, now and not herself.
She was beyond that.
"What does that fon-nee word
mean?" A maddening smile.
"You know English perfectly! You
can drop that broken accent when
we're alone and there aren't any men
around to fall for it, Gaby!"
"Ah! then it was the grand success
that I have? You do not like that ?"
"And cut out the French phrases!
You're in America where the women
hate sneaky little tricks!"
"But' what have I done?" Assumed
anxiety now.
"You darn we'll know you sprang
that line to mother on purpose! And
you got results!"
"What do you mean?"
"That she tainted! She tainted wher
she heard the name of your father
and your beastly chateau"
"Beastly? But you shall not use
that word!" Gaby Kissed.
Jean commented, sarcastically: 81

long! 1t is right that you, who have
enjoyed all the privileges that I too
as the daughter of our mother, should
have shared, do everything possible
to make amends to me, your sister!"
The word sister, as Gaby knew, al
ways had it's effect upon Jean.
"And tomorrow morning, when she
is recovered, I go to our mother and
we have the long explanation" sug-
gested Gaby.
"Only if she wants to. AS for me,
I'd as soon have a real showdown,
and with Rupert present." Jean told
her valiantly.

"You were tossing and moaning so!''
"I'm glad you woke me-" Jean told
the woman.
"And madame, your mother-she
came home last night! What a sur
prise!"
Recollection of last nights events
swept over Jean. She asked quickly:
'How is she this morning?"
"She is resting. I think she still
suffers a little from mal-de-mer."
"I'll have my breakfast in her room.
Bring a tray there, Toinnette." Jean
slipped out of bed, and into robe and
slippers.
Laurel, looking pale and lovely, was
propped up on pillows, slipping her
coffee.
She exclaimed: Darling, how nice
of you to comet" She kissed Jean.
! "I'll tuck you on the chaise Tongue,
mother. Toinette's bringing my break

We'll have one of our old confabs."
When they were alone, Jean said
with forced cheerfulness: "Now you're
not going to worry any more. I had
a heart-to-heart talk with Gabrielle
last night, or rather, in the small
hours of this morning, and she's not
going to make any trouble, darling

Rupert doesn't know anything except
that I met her when she and were
studying at the Sorbonne in Paris over
a year ago! That's the story Gabrielle
made me tell him so that she could
come and pay me a visit! He doesn't
know she's-she's any relation!"
Laurel feverishly gripped Jeans
hand. She gasped: "Does anyone else
know?"
"Not a single soul!! Stay quiet!
He'll suspect something if he sees
you like this, Laurel He'll wonder how
