“Why, she comes to see me,"” replied
#lgter, as thuch amazed as amused.
Here Miss Becky transferred her pipe
from her mouth to her trembling hands,
closed her eyes, and began to nod her
head emphatically, “Sally may tell you
that,” she said, solemnly, “and you may
believe it; but she ean't fool us, and
she won't git narry thrip of our money.”
“Much money you've got!” exclaimed
Mrs. Beshears, with kindly sarcasm,
““She thinks she's mighty smart,” said
Miss Becky, reaching over and touching
Miss Polly on the knee.
| “Don’'t she, though!" exclaimed Miss
l Polly,
T was curious to know how Mrs. Be
shears would compose this senseless
quarrel; bat 't was the easiest thing in
the world. She placed her hands over
her face, sighed deeply, and turned teo
Sistey Jane with an air too solemn to
be duplicated on the stage.
“Jane,” said she, ''there's a vacant
room at your house. It's not a big
room, but it's big enough for me. Tl
just send my things up there and come
along myself after supper. As I'm not
wanted here, I'll go with you. We'll
see, then, if money will wake the nig
gers in the morning, And make Polly's
and Becky's coffee and sweeten it. There
too mueh money here for me
By this time Miss Polly and Miss
Becky were sobbing, and if theie tears
had meant anything more than the
tears of children mean, 1 should have
iaid the matter up against Mrs. Be
shears in my mind; but she soothed
them at once, and in a minute they were
iaughing as blithely as they bad been
erying bitterly, and with no more ex
cuse in one case than in the other. So
that when sister Jane and myself bade
them good-bye on that particular ocea
ston, 1 ecarried away a better opinion
of Mrs, Beshears than I had ever had
before. My first impressions of her,
formed long ago, were not of the best.
Out of sight and hearing of her two
sigters she had a hectoring way, and 1|
think It was her naturai way. Her
volce was harsh, and she had a way of
saying things that left a sting. But,
latler the incident | have related, | was
no longer surprised that Tommy Tin
kins, the cat, should be so anxious to
run and greet her when she came, his
tall ccarried as erect as a battie-flag,
and his back curved upward to meet the
hand that was always ready to give him
A friendly touch. 'I knew, too, that when
she had put her aged and decrepit chil
dren to bed the impulse to escape from
her surroundings, by visiting sister Jane
was more than she could resist; and so
&hamn»nmj that he: vomsmny enme to
A 8 agreeable to me at last as it had
been to sister Jane from the first.
Sthe always called me Willlams, hav
ing known me from a child, and seemed
to keep a watchful eye on my moods,
for when, as sometimes happened, | re
mained in my own, she would n{ at
lrrocuwly the right moment: “Well, Wil
fam, you can go and do your moplng
by yourself. Jane and | have some mat
ters that we want to talk about,” This
rtouk from me the excuse of politeness
and senl me off whether or no, for which
1 was duly grateful. Many a time J
‘have listened and waited for sister Jane
and Mra. Beshears to lower their voices
in lulllug over these confidential “mat
tors. " ut they kept rlfm on in the
old famillar straln, and in this way 1
found that Mrs. Beshear's confidential
“matters’ were jurely mythical in.

HE girl he left behind him when he went away to war, “just nat-
T urally his last worl’ wah!"wonce knew a glib bit about geography.
She sat on the tubs of her mother's kitchen cloge to the place
where that busy little mother passed back and forth, when her skirts
Just touched the round of her boy-like knees, and while she industri
ously pushed her hair back as tight as an onion-skin with a “back
comb,” she dumbfounded her amazed family with information about
the capitals of the world and the folks in them, and how many there
were,
She examined her chagrined and ignorant father on the length of
the River Amazon, and when he eouldn’t answer how the natives were
able to get their motorboats up to Lake Titicaca, on the top of a vol
cano, and whizz about thereon, she cried aloud: “Well, de-e-ead! Didn't
you ever go to SCHOOL?" She was bursting and cracking with infor
mation about the world she lived in until the heads of her family spun.
Years crept by, and her skirts edged down and down, and she
pulled her hair down over her forehead instead of swiping it back off
it—~and a lover came along. And during this time she was an ignorant
young American and forgot the River Amazon,” only that boa-constric
tors lived on it! Information on this whirling, warm and cold, beautiful
and terrible little world vanished into the limbo of pale-blue back
combs and a Prince Charming who just had to have a certain color hair
and eyves when he came along or she couldn't love him! Nevertheless,
and, oh, my, and oh, ye-eye-ecesss' she knows more about geography
now than in those Miss Statistics days. For then Germany was a green
ish-yellow on the map and France was a red country, and so was Eng
land, and Italy, and Belgium was Roman gold. NOW they are more
than that. :
Besides the 'stonishing way that France has drawn near across the
ocean and has become ‘“over there,” and England is the land of the
language we speak, and Germany is a place she's goin’ to go around
carefully when she goes traveling some time, and Italy is our brother
we fought beside, there’s one very important thing they mean to her.
Her lover went over with a Canadian girl. with cornflower-blue
eyves and Scoteh coloring. He went through England: and evervbody
knows that the English girl's eyes are deep and blue, and her hair soft
and long, and her complexion so peachy that it doesn’t look real—only
you KNOW it is! He arrived in France and fought and lived there;
now France is not a “red” country—it is just the tantalizing, chie,
planant face of a smiling girl with a tipped-nose, odd cheeks, winsome
eyes and chin, slim little trotting ankles, and an air about her clothes
and manner. [ltaly, Belgium, Russia; he was long enough over to have
been in them all! Tltaly is no longer a “boot,”” but a dusky woman in
vivid green and coral: sloe-eved and slow-eyed, pomegranite lipped,
golden skinned.
“He MUST have seen a million of her—or worge—only one or twe,
not in the get-up they wear when they come over here—OUß clothes
that just naturally put their glowing Southern light out!" Belgium is
a blonde, carnation-mouthed, honey-haired, round-cheeked maid in a
tight snow cap tied under a rosy chin, passing slowly by, looking with
round and intent eyes at the straight tan soldier—who is a stranger--a
far ally-—with woman eyes- -therefore adwiring ones. And, mavhe, he
carried her sheaf of grain and walked beside her. HE would. of course
and ought! & .
RUSSIA! Once it was huge and many colored, and mean wolves
and ice and wild swans and Cossacks andd sleigh bells and jewels. But
who hasn't heard of the fascinating Russian! She smiles her strange
eyed way wrder vippling, midnight hair through all romance. Young
Miss “Girl heleft-bebind-him” shudders exquisitely! She feels very
small and young ladyish and bßread-and-butterish, and “yes, SIMPLE,”
when she thinks perhaps he has met a Russian countess,
And while she twirls the globe to find this last country he served in

“Why, bless your soul, child, he

3 [LDRED sprang away from
M Tom so suddenly that she
knocked the bottle of peach
brandy from the table to the floor. ‘
Mechanically, Candler started to
pick it up. Before he could stoop to
do so, Arthur Brice was at his side.
His face was white; his eyes flashed.
“What does this mean?’ he de
manded.
Mildred stepped in between the two
men. “It doesn't mean anything!"
she exclaimed, trying to laugh. “Ex
cept that we werg drinking Tom's
health because he is going away to
morrow, and”’——
Tom interrupted her. “Wait, please,
Mildred. If there are any explana
tions I can make them.”
“l am glad,” Arthur sneered, “that
you appreciate that you, not she,
should explain.”
“And 1 decline to explain!” Tom
burst forth, his face flushing with
anger. “Unless Mildred wishes me
to.”
“I don't wish you to!” Mildred de-‘
clared. “lUs nobody's business but
yours and mine!"” “
“Mildred!” Honora interposed. “Be
quiet! You do not know what you
are saying.” ‘
“l 1 do know!” the younger girl re
torted. “1 am saying that I have a
right to do as 1 please, and Tom had
a right to drink with me, too,”
“Even though he wears the uniform
of the United States?” Arthur ques
tioned dryly. But words were ad
dressed to the man, not to the girl.
“It is interesting,” Tom commem-l
ed, “to see how the uniform is re
‘spected by a man who is not willing
to wear it!"
The taunt cut, and Bruce winced,
“You cur!™ he muttered. Then, as
Tom stepped threateningly toward
him—*“Yes, T mean that! If you
want to resent it, we will settle the
score when the ladies have left us
alone. Unless,” with a harsh laugh,
“you wish to take refuge behind the
law forbidding one to strike a man in
uniform.”
Chandler paled slightly. “We are
making much out of nothing, Bruce,
and both are talking hastily and fool
shly"-~his tone changing from anser
to eoneiliation. “You do not under
stand the situation. 1 did, for the
moment, forget that a soldiér must
not drink, and I took a tiny glass of
harmless cordial with Mildred—just
as a little farewell ceremony-—for 1
am leaving tomorrow,
“Then, simply because we are old
[friends, 1 kissed her on the cheek—as
I would have kissed my sister. That
is the extent of my offense. You may
take this as an apology if you wish,
Had ! known you were looking on, |
would have done the same thing. Only
then, perhaps, 1 would have asked
your permission.”
“But,” Mildred hroke in shirlly,
“Arthur was careful to come in so
softly that we did not know he was
looking on! He was spying—he and
Honora!"
“l am going now.” Tom's voice was
calm and cool.
“Wait a moment,” Honora com
manded. “We did not come in with
any desire of spying on anybody. |
’opened the door with my latchkey. 1
supposed Mildred was upstairs with
Mrs. Higgine. I had seen you, Mr
Chandler, only a few hours ago, driv
ing with—a friend--and f{t dzd not
oceur to me that yvou were boming
here after that.” & ?

that made Mildred wonder with whom
Tom nad been. Bul the man was not
SOIUE Lo wait for any guesuon te be
asked.
“Good-night, all!” he said. As Mil
dred held out her hand, he looked at
Arthur,
“You have no ebjection to my shak
ing hands with your fancee, Bruce,
have you?” he sald with elaborate
politeness,
Arthur did not' speak. His eyes
were expressionless as if he did not
hear. His lJook made Mildred un
comfortable.
“Good-bye,” she murmured te Tom,
adding in a whisper: “Send me your
address—if it changes.”
A quick pressure of her hand was
the only answer,
The trio did not mowve until the
front door had clesed behind the de
parting visitor.
Katie's footsteps sounded on the
stairs coming down from Mrs. Hig
gins' room. Honora snatched up the
bottle of -peach brandy and thrust it
and the glasses—still unwashed—into
the sideboard.
Then, as Katie entered the roem,
Honora greeted her, asked about Mrs,
Higgind! condition and went on inte
the library, Arthur and Mildred fol
lowing her dumbly,
Here she closed the door and
turned to her sister.
“Stop crying!” she ordered, for
Mildred had begun to sob hysterical
ly. “There is enough te cry about,
goodness knows! But you are not
the one to be considered just now.”
“Oh, no!" Mildred exclaimed, her
anger drying her tears. “l suppose
not! You never have any sympathy
for me, no matter how hard things
are for me!
“You can pity Arthur because his
father's ill, yet you can't pity me
when Arthur gets angry with me.
Why is he here, anyway? Why didn't
he stay at home if his father is as sick
as you people say he 187"
- “His father died two hours ago.”
| The words were sald In a low
voice, but Mildred started as If she
had been struck by a whip,
“Dead!"™ she gasped. “Deadl”
“Yes," Honora went on merciless
ly. "And In spite of all Arthur's
grief and need of your sympathy he
would not send for you, He sald it
would be too hard for you, Fer the
same reason he would not let me tel
ephone you, Inmtead, he walted un
til Mrs, Bruee's cousin arrived to stay
with her for a few hours, then he
came here to break the news te you
gently. That Is why we came In se
softly. Arthur did not want to stars
tle you"
