Rough-Hewn Dorothy Canfield | Uontlnurd f rom Iwtudi;,) SYNOPSIS. Neal# Crittenden, a typical, red-blooded American youth, lives with hi* parent* In 1 nion Hill a tillage near New A ork City. IVhlie attending preparatory school, and Columbia university, he take* an ■ftlvn part In all kind* of athletic*, nnd vaka progress In 111* studies. In France, "In rise Allen, n year or two younger than Neale, live* with her American' parents In the home of Anna Ktehergary, a French woman. Marise'a father is foreign agent tor an American business firm. Jeanne \»niir«rena I* an old French servant In the Allen family. Marlse applies herself diligently to the study of music nnd French, and wins a pnr.e In a musical ••ontewt. Hhe Is much interested In Jean ricrre Gamier, a French boy who ha* Just returned from two years’ study in America. v Jeanne name to the door. “Madame is served,” she said in a correct tone, standing aside as they came out. She did not look at Marise at all, but Marlse knew perfectly well that she, mo, was wondering about the evening dress and the flower. Marlse began to try to invent some plausible ex planation for it which she could let drop In talk tomorrow as they walked to school. Marise had lessons to get that even ing. lots of them, and hard ones, as usual. After dinner, she went back to her room, opened her history and began. It was very still In the apart ment. Xo sound at all from Maman in tho salon. Of course. Jeanne and Isabelle were both across the landing til the other kitchen, doing work as they always were unless Maman ex pected callers. Marise leaned over her table and concentrated with all lier might os ihe role played by Colbert*In the eco nomic organization of the 17th cen tury. She was trying to memorize the outline of his introduction of sounder account-keeping in govern ment administration, when all at once, there in her mind, instead of l.ouis XIV and his court, was the picture of Maman standing beside the win dow looking out. If Marlse were now to step quickly into tlie salon, would she again find Maman . . . ? Marise tossed her head angrily at the possibility of her doing such a sneaky thing as to go to see, . . . IJke some nasty idea of Jeanne’s that was! She drew her history closer to her, changed her position and went studying. "Colbert a souvent repete qtie o'est par le commerce qii'um pays s'e'nrlchlt. . . Although she had not meant to, she started up and went to the window, opening the heavy curtains a tiny crack to look out. » Yes. he was still there, two hours after they had left him. Me had not e\en gone home for dinner. But old Madeleine, the flower seller, must have passed by on her way home, after shutting up her flower stand, for now lie had a white rose bud in his hands, looking down at it fixedly, turning it about between Ills fingers, once in a while touching a petal deli cately, or holding it up to draw in its fragrance. • Marise pulled the curtain shut, ami hurried back to the improvement of the French army from 1SS0 on. She felt very miserable, as though she’d eaten something she ought not to. . . . was it a headache? She had heard ladles talk so much about head aches, and had never had one. Yes, it must be a headache. That was it, her first headache. By thinking about it she felt it very distinctly now in the back of her head—like a great weight there drawing her head back. She tried to think of Colbert; she looked hard st the familiar pic t ure of Colbert rubbing his hands in glee over ail the work piled up on his desk, hut what she saw was Maman standing at one side of the window looking out. Was that 'Taman she heard moving about In tile salon? What time was it? Wasn't it tunr for her to Co to bed? The soapy dark Breen clock on her maiftel piece sljpwed only lialf-past 8. Too early. started at a sodden sound, her hand beginning to tremble. The door bell rang. Jeannie and Isabelle were both on the other side of the landing and would not hear. She listened, her hands and feet cold, heard Maman go to the door herself and Jean Pierre Garner’s voice asking if Mon sienr and Madame ami Mademoiselle Ailed were at home. Maman laughed and said that, monsieur was away on business and mademoiselle was. of i ourse, busy with her lessons, but inadame was there! Marise heard Mme. Garnier's son also laugh nervously and say that lie would come in for a nroment to pay his respects to madame. They both spoke English, which Jean-Plerre had learned so well in New York. Well why not? In America anybody might happen to make an evening call at half-past 8. Heavens! How her head ached! She would go to bed anyway, whether it was time or not. She undressed rapidly and getting into bed pulled the covers over her head. 7t seemed to her that she lay thu* for ages, her eyes pinched shut In the smothering air under the blank ets. Then she pulled them down to breathe and found that she 7iad for gotten to put out her candle, which was guttering low and showing bv the clock that her "ages'1 had been less than an hour. It was 30 minutes past 9. She blew out her candle, and de ■ ided that Jeanne or no Jeanne, she All Sick People ww% It to themselves to at least Investigate Chiropractic. The Thomas Chiropractic Offices must have more air. She was suffo eating." She drew ihe curtain aside and secure in ihe darkness ot the room, opened both sides of the win dow wide. The fresh air came in like waking up front a nightmare. But she had not waked up. for there on the bench across the street was Mine. Garnier's son again. Had she dreamed that he had come to the door. How strangely he sat now, flung down sideways, iris face hidden on his arm. As Marise stared, un derstanding nothing of what she saw, he started up spasmodically rs though sonio one had struck him from behind. Then he collapsed again, his face buried on his outflung arm. After this he was perfectly motion less, like everything around him. the somber wall of the Chateau vieux. the sickly light of the street lamp, the bench, the rough paving stones, the vacant, gray shutters of the de partment store further along the street. As Marise stood there, shivering in her night gown, staring, she heard Manian's quick light step at the oth er end of the corridor, and the sound of Maman’s voice, humming a little trilling song. She turned her head, and saw tho cheerful yellow flicker of a candle coming nearer her open floor. Mamnn was going down to her dressing room to get ready for bed. She thought, of course, that Marise was In bed nnd asleep by this time and when s'.e came by, looking down at the lighted candle in the pretty little gilt candle stick she did not even glance into the dark room where the child stood bewildered. For the in stant she was framed In the square of the open door, she Was brilliantly painted on the darkness, all the bright colors of her fair hair, her shining eyes, her red lips, softly gleaming In the warm, golden light of the little flame. The picture was printed in delibly on the child's wide eyes sen sitized by the darkness; and long after the sound of the light footstep was silent, Marise could see, hung on the blackness around her Ixsl at night, the shining picture, golden bright in the quivering, living flame of the can dle, the dense waxy petals of the camellia against the vaporous blonde hair, the smiling curved lips, Ihe vel vet white ot the slender bare neck and arms, the rich sheen of the. mauve satin flowing about the quick, light feet.

Union Pacific She got Into bed warmed, comforted. Nothing could he the matter if Maraan was smiling so cheerfully. She fell asleep at once, desperately Hied, giving uii as an unanswerable and no longer very interesting riddle, the question of what was the.trouble with Mme. Gander's son. But in the night, without knowing how. she found herself once more by the open window—she had been dreaming, she had got up to sge aliout something in her dream—something about . . . why .there he was still on the bench, all huddled 'and stooped together now, his face hidden in both arms crossed on his kiipes. Perhaps he had dropped asleep there. Br-r r-r! lie would be cold when he woke up. How chilly it still was at night! Well, yes, it was evident that she had dreamed it about Ills ringing at the door. • She plunged hack under the covers, she heard the long sonorous hoot of a steamer going nut to sen, and was asleep before it died away.

"Didn't you hear me call you when you went past the kitchen on your way to Ticer's?” I turned to Katherine with an ex asperate little gesture. "So she did call, after all!” I said. “The car made so much noise I wasn't sure, and I knew you were in a hurry for nie to get to Mrs. Ticer's, so I didn’t stop.” The keen eyes of my mother-in-law registered utter disbelief of my in genious exclamation. "That may do for some people," she said grimly, "but you can't pull any wool over my eyes that way. You knew very well that you had no busi ness taking Richard Second with you, and you naturally didn’t want to hear me. Well, I have nothing whatever to say! "Only,” she went on Inconsistently, "if that blessed child gets pneumonia and dies, don’t come to me for sym pathy. How do you do, Mrs. Ticer? It was good of you to come right over. Now, if you’ll come upstairs with me, I 'll show you what X want done. “No. Richard Second,” as the child started to follow them,, "stay with your mother. I refuse to have the slightest responsibility for you, w hen my wishes are ridden over roughshod in the way they hate been this morn ing. " She swept out of the room with Mr*. Ticer trailing in her wake, but I knew that as soon as she heard from our neighbor of the escaped bootlegger she would be down again, filled with the excitement which any suggestion of mystery always brings to her melodrama-loving soul. Kath erine and 1 looked at each other blankly. “Never Say Dose Rad Words"’ “Gather ye roses while ye may," Katherine hummed with a little grim ace. “I give her 30 seconds after Mrs. Ticer springs her news.” “Make it 20," 1 amended, and then, with the uneasiness which any com ment upon Junior's health gives me, no matter fa*m what source, I ap pealed to Katherine. “Do you think taking him out did him any harm?” 1 asked. "If I had thought there was the slightest danger of his taking cold, you know I would have protested his going, myself,” she said gravely. "Come here, Junior. Come to Aunt Tattle.” He ran toward her gladly; then, as if reminded of something, stopped and stamped his foot resolutely. “Never say dose bad words, Aunt Tattie said—never, never!" Kathering flashed a panic-stricken look at me which I returned. This re iteration of his promise which Junior without doubt would repeat in his grandmother's hearing was almost as bad as the original comment on the august lady, his repetition of which we had succeeded in suppressing. “No use, I suppose, of any further cautioning?” Katherine asked, as she caught the youngster up in her arms. "Not a bit,” I returned. "He has a one-track mind. There's but one thing to be done. When the unavoidable explanation comes 1 shall blacken your reputation by saying that you uttered an unladklike 'darn' with frills, that Junior heard you and re peated the words, and that we made him promise never to say it again.” Katherine Reassures Madge. "It sounds plausible,” Katherine ad mitted. reluctantly, “but me soul mis gives me. However, it's on the lap of the gods. I^et it rest there while I give the youngster a going over.” She felt Junior's pulse, listened to his breathing, felt his wrists and fore head and looked at his tongue. “There isn't a thing the matter with him.” she said. "He may come down before night with everything from smallpox to housemaid’s knee, but I'd stake my professional reputation on his good condition now." "Then going out with us—" "Didn't hurt him a bit. The fresh air was good for him. See how rosy his cheeks are! If he'd had any tem perature, of course—but he hadn’t. Even Grandmother Graham didn't claim that. Now stop your worrying and let us talk of something else. Tell me about your apartment. I haven't been in a New York apart ment in bo long I wouldn't know where to find the dumb-waiter.” "There isn't any to find in our place,” I returned. “We have to bribe the janitor to spirit our kitchen refuse through the halls. You know, with some truth, Dicky calls our present abode a New York tenement instead of an apartment.” "Dicky is probably talking through his new golf cap,” Katherine retorted with an impudent little grimace. "I’ll I give you the once over soon, «nd name it for you properly. "What did I tell you!" she exclaim ed. "Here’s your mother-in-law, im agining the curtain has just gone down on the first act.’’’ “Too Much in-Laws'’ Cause of Divorce Suit Evidence of "too much in-laws” was introduced in the divorce case of William Walker against hi* wife Anna W’alker in District Judge Day's court of domestic relations. Walker testified that he lived with his wife but six months after they were married in 1918 because, he alleges, she refused to have children or to take marriage seriously. Walker says this was his wife’s third marriage.
