f-— Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” v------/ The Resolution Madge Marie About Mother Graham. Thas some problem—serious at least i, to her own Imagination—confronted Katie was plainly to be read In the strained, worried look in her eyes. I was glad, however, that It was one about which she was willing to ask my counsel. I atlll have vivid mem ories of problems which my tempestu ous little maid has kept to herself with grave consequences resulting from her secrecy. "Tell me all about it, Katie,’’ I said, coaxingly, | as I would have spoken to Junior. She cast a quick, apprehensive look at the closed hall door behind her. "Eet like dees,’’ she began, but her sentence was never finished. A strident call of "Katie, where are you?" came from the hall below, and at the sound of my mother-in law’s voice Katie turned, her face looking ridiculously like that of a startled rabbit, and bolted for the door. ”1 tell you eferytings blmeby," she whispered as I opened the door noise lessly for her. ■ “Blmeby" did not materialize, how, ever, for two or three days. Mother Graham was so filled with excitement and preparation* for her trip to Har riet Bralthwait.es home in Michigan that she kept the whole household resembling nothing so much as the contents of a caldron. I knew what was the motive underneath the jazz to which she kept our steps attuned. It was a measure born of mental in toxications. , The elderly woman was so excited by the prospect of autocratically or dering the arrangement of her daugh ter’s domestic affairs, and the closing of her house while the Braithwsites were absent in South America with the orphaned Harrison children, that she was hardly responsible for her actions. I had my hands full in smoothing down my tempestuous Katie, upon whom my mother-in law’s gusts of temperament fell most heavily, and keeping Dicky from ag gravating his mother by the patroniz ing masculine comments with which almost every man deems it his duty to enliven feminine preparations tor a journey. I was resolved, however, that no remembrance of unpleasantness should mar the departure of my husband’s mother for the trip she was anticipat ing with such pleasure. She is an old woman and not particularly ro bust, and there were many possibil ities of illness or accident on so long ft journey, and the psychic ttftjch which some far off Celtic ancestor has bestowed upon me made me doubly anxious that if anything hap pened to her while she was gone I should have nothing with which to reproach myself. As a result upon the day of her departure I was physically and nerv ously exhausted, with just enough strength and determination remain ing in me to keep from either Dicky or his mother of any hint of my real condition. I drove them to the station, gave Hlyky final little commissions for the comfort of his mother on the journey, stood with Marion and Junior on the station platform waving goodbys un til the train wag out of sight, and managed in some way—I never knew how—to drive home and turn the children over to Katie and Jim. Then I went to bed with the worst nervous headache I ever hud experienced in my life, and that is no mean distinc tion for the malady. Katie nursed me faithfully, hut it was two days before I was able to sit up, and two moi-e before I was my old self again. Through it all I was conscious of a shadow on my little maiU’s face, and guessed that she was sorely troubled because I was not able to hear the story she had been ready to unfold at my mother-in-law's interruption. But my nerves were so jangled that I dreaded any further fraying of them from any rnuse, and It was not until Mother Graham and Dicky had been gone for a week that my conscience finally pricked me into sending for Katie. She came to my room wide-eyed ami tremulous, and when I had told her that I was now ready to listen to her story, she seized my hand and began to cry tempestuously. "Oh! I so glad!" she said thro'ugh her sobs. "I tlnk I go crazy, I so 'frald of vot dose maybe try to hang on me. Plees, Missis Graham, you room along mlt me, now'. Junior and Marlon out by Jeem and every thing all right." Wonderingly X followed her as she led the way to the big old attic cov ering the whole top of the house. What did the girl mean?
