Across the emptied suitcase. Kdwin | llraithwaite looked at hia wife as if he were seeing and appraising—a stranger for the first time. Indeed, I think that was what she appeared to him in tha novelty of having her overturn the habit of years aa quick ly and delftiy as she had spread the contents of his suitcase upon the bed. Then, as if involuntarily, his glance went to the four orphaned children whom he had taken Into his care so gladly. Kven to assuage the hunger of his soul so long starved for fatherhood, so many years denied the children of Ills own for which he liad wished—were they worth the sacrifice of his routined comfort? The question was written upon the big surgeon's face for anyone to read, and In it was the pathetic be wilderment of the boy which remains in almost every man, the boy who wants to be mothered, even though lie may deny it vehemently and dis dainfully. Hut almost as quickly the answer came into his face as his eyes caught the confiding smiles which the children were sending to the man whom they already idolized, lie beamed upon them and turned the same smile upon his wife, who, [ observed, was furtively watching him under cover of sorting the con tents of her own suitcase. “I'll l»efy Anybody." "Tou're the doctor this trip, Har riet,” he drawled, "and I’ll promise to be as meekly obedient as a pro bationer.” The tone end word* wer« Jesting, but there was something In the ten der, luminous smile with which he regarded her, that made me catch my breath with relief. Big In mind and heart, as well as body, he had comprehended swiftly and surely the adjustment of their liven—Inevitable because of the children they had adopted—which his wife was begin ning, and he was gallantly assuring her of his co operation. Harriet made him no reply, but her eyes were elo quent as she smiled at him, and then bent again to her work. When we had finished, the luggage had been rushed to two suitcases and a large bag. The rest, also packed and strapped, were ready for me to take back to the farm, and Harriet and T sank Into chairs with the en joyable fatigue of a trying task well done. "I'll defy anybody In the world to do better than this Job,” I said lightly. "You mean, tie It,” Edwin com mented jocularly. "But don’t hog all the credit, you two. I turned a pretty nifty trick myself. If anyone should ask you.” A Strange Path. "Well see that you have credit In full,” his wife smiled, and then Mrs. Bird's knock heralded dinner and for the next half hour we did full justice to a most substantial meal When the last course was cleared away, sh* beckoned me out of the room. "Get everybody ready,” ah# said, "and come down those steps, out there, to the room below here.” She Indicated the stairs, up which I had come with her upon my re turn to New York, and. nodding comprehension, I returned to th# room and. working swiftly with Har riet, soon had the children in readl ness for the journey. Our own wraps were bi^t the work of A few second* and, picking up the luggage, we ehepherded the children down th# stairs, to find Mrs. Bird standing, flashlight in hand, In front of A door other than the big sliding double one which had admitted the car. "Don't be frightened,” sh# said smiling, "This Is nothing but a short underground tunnel to th# out side garage, which w# us* In stormy weather.” The perceptible pause, th# slight stressing of the words. Interpreted them sufficiently for us, snd sh* led tli# way into th* dark aperture be fore us with * caution to my brothsr in law: "You’re th# only on# who will have to stoop," ah# said. "But be care ful her# with th* children. There is a short flight of steps.” Behind u* a door slid to softly, und the dim light from th* room be hind us was blotted out.' An eerie little feeling crept over me, which I think was shared by th# rest of us. but Mrs. Bird was quick in re insurance. "There aren’t many people who know this Is here,” ahe aald. "so we never leave the door open very long. I have the key to open It again." We went down th« flight of steps, traversed the narrow corridor, single file, then up another flight of steps to another door, looking aa If It were a part of a wall. Mr*. Bird unlocked the door, and ttie next minute we were in the out door garage at th# rear of tb* grounds. tOpyrtsM.
