"Margaret! Richard! Come here at once!’’ Mother Grahom’a excited old voice rang through the. upper hall of the farmhouse. It held the same per emptory ring that she would have used in summoning Junior, and though I was bitterly at variance with my husband, and I felt that I should never wish to smile aguin, there was a distinct tug at my risi bles as I saw him taking the stairs two at a time In his haste to answer that peremptory call before his irasci ble parent should altogether lose the patience which is never very firmly in her possession. I reached her door at almost the instant of Dicky’s arrival, and he stepped back for me to enter with the courteous gesture which Is one of his fascinating little ways. But there was no hint of recognition in his face or in mine, as with a foi^m'il little nod of acknowledgement, I en tered the room before him. We were keeping strictly to the compact of outward courtesy and secret Ignoring of each other which we had made upon the night of our quarrel over Mollie Fawcett. "Just read this!’’ Mother Graham extended a letter to me in a hand that shook pitifully, "it's from Kd wtn and Harriet!” Dutifully I turned toward Dicky and held out the letter, for his moth er usually wishes him to read her letters to her. But her voice, crisp, emphatic, stopped me. “If I had wanted Richard to read that letter aloud I shoulithave hand ed it to him," she snapped. “He gen erally reads as If he hail nmsli in his mouth, anyway, and whatever other faults you may have, Margaret,” —her tone implied that they were too many to enumerate—"you can read aloud so it ts a pleasure to listen to you.” "Thank you," T said meekly, un derstanding that my mother-in-law, prohibited l>v my plea from taking Dicky to task about Mollie Fawcett, was losing no opportunity, even so small a one as this, of evincing her displeasure against him. Harriet's Letter. "Dear Mother, Richard, Margaret and our darling Junior,” it began, and I permitted myself a start of surprise at the expansive greeting. mo—different from Harriet's usual stilted style. "We are ‘Somewhere In South America,’ and we dare give no other address, for the malls may be watched. But if Mrs. Underwood will open the envelope we gave her when we left her, you will find the address of an attorney in New York, through whom you cun rahle us at any time and who will forward you any letters from us which we may write. We do not intend to come back until every thing is settled, no matter how long it takes, so I wish you or Richard would look after these things." There followed a. list of directions concerning adjustments to he made for the famous surgeon, and then] after a chatty description of the ac-| Hvlties of the children, the letter closed upon an exuberant note. "Oh, Mother, I never knew what happiness was before! Poor Gisa and William! It seems awful that It was through their deatli that such bliss has come to us, but please (lod, we will do our best for their orphaned children. Govingly, Hurriet and Ed win." There were tears in Mother Gra ham’s old eyes as T finished and I knew that not only she, but Dicky, realized as l did that the dead father and mother never could have given to their children what this rarely gifted couple mistakenly thwarted of parenthood, was lavishing upon thorn. “I Am Going to the City.” t banded back the letter to Mother Graham, and seeing that she had no further need of me, slipped from the room. To my surprise, Dicky followed me directly, and called to me before I had reached my own room. In astonishment I turned to him, wondering if he were repenting of his part in the quarrel, but there was no sign of anything save cold de cision in his face, and I schooled my facial muscles to nonchalant indif ference as 1 waited for him to speak. ‘‘T am going up to the city on the next train,” he said meusuredly. “I shall stay at the studio, but shall keep In touch with Gil, so if I am needed for Mother or Junior, you can send for me. But I do not wish Miss Fawcett to know' where I have gone. Tell her, if she asks, that I have been called to New England.” I nodded the assent T could not utter, and he \*ent on rapidly. “Here is something else. Miss Fawcett has just received a letter which has disturbed her exceedingly. 1 do not know what is In it, but I do know or surmise this much about things in general—if you do not want Gil to think you have failed in your mission"—his voice did not hold the sneer which is generally there when lie speaks of my connection with Gillian's work—"you will watch the girl all day and all night and every day and night until Gillian comes, and especially if she leaves the house, follow her, unknown In her. and find out where she goes and what she does.” x - ■ - ■-V" f ' A Rebuilding Sal* Saturday,. “$10 Day” Misses* mam I Values Dresses— to 25.00.

As Dicky strode down the. hall toward his room, I looked after him with a swirl of what the old-time novelists used to dub "mingled emo tions." Astonishment conquered resent ment, and in Us turfi gave way to a recognition of authority backed by knowledge unshared by me. Struggling for emergence^ also, was a feeling of pride in my husband which would not be downed by the remembrance of our bitter quarrel or the realization that Dieky's de meanor betrayed no more relenting in his heart than in mine. X stood motionless with my eyes fixed upon his shapely head and lithe figure until his door liad closed behind him. Then with a start, for I had not realized I was watch ing him, I went back to his mother’* room. 1 found her in a chJtTr by the window gazing out. over the distant meadows sloping down to the ocean, and holding in her hands the letter from Harriet and Edwin, with its news of her orphaned grandchildren. There were traces of tears upon her face, and I knew that her heart was full of memories of her dead daughter, all the more poignant be cause she realized even more fully than the rest of u* that Elizabeth Harrison had utterly failed in motherhood. For a second ' ' ‘ ‘ ' ing to disturb swiftly forward, for I realized that action of any sort was far better for her than thl* regretful brooding. "Mother, dear," 1 said crii-ply. 'Dicky tells me that he has to go to New York on the next train, and there are reasons—connected with that work of Lillian’s—why I can not look after hla going. Do you feel well enough to see Katie about something for him to eat? And soon he probably will be calling all over the house for collar buttons.” She shot a shrewd look at me. but her wise old eyes were full of kind liness. "Come here and kiss me, Mar garet,” she said surprisingly, open ing her arms, and while I bent above her she held me tightly for a second or two, while she murmured, with a tenderness which she rarely mani fests to me. “I understand, my dear, only too well. And I'll help in whatever way I can.” Mollie's Excitement. My throat was too constricted for speech without tears, but 1 kissed her gratefully and fled to my own room, where I pulled myself together and went in search of Katherine. I found her in the library, and told her of the startling information which Dicky had given me, and of his injunction to watch Mollie Faw cett day and night. "There's something afoot,” Kath erine asserted, “She's been pacing up and down the sun parlor like something demented ever since ahel received that letter. And her face could be modeled as a tragedy mask. Poor child! She isn't sufficiently old and sophisticated to be Rble to hide her alarm. 1 agree with Dicky that she'll' hear watching, and I'll take the first turn now. Ton look as if you ought to lie down for a bit." "1 believe I'll do that little thing," I said with a grateful amlle, for I had determined not to encounter Dicky again before he left. In my mind there was no thought of slumber, but when I had laid down I found myself dozing and soon drifted into a sleep which lasted until after Dicky had departed. I found that Katherine and Mollie had gone for a walk, and when they came back Mnllle’s cheeks flushed and her eyes glittered With feverish excitement. Katherine drew me aside for a hasty whisper. "She Is trying to get outside the house alone,” she said. "I am aure she has had a summons to meet some one. We shall have to keep a sharp watch.” "Did She Get Away?" The girl was restless and distrait all through the evening, and went to bed early, pleading drowsiness. But Katherine sat in the hall ostensibly reading, with her back to Mollle's door, while from a crack in a dark ened door opposite to the girls I watched steadily. Upon three separate occasions I saw Mollie s door stenlthily open and her face peer out only to be withdrawn again at the sight of Katherine's seated figure. Then there was a long silence, bfcken at last by the creak ing of a window being raised. I ^hastily stole down the hall to Kath erine. but she already had moved swiftly toward me. •That sloping roof and the old cherry tree beside It," she whispered. "She can get down that way If ah" wishes. Hurry downstairs and trad her, while I make sure she is not in (he room. 1*11 he right at your heels. ’ She was as good as her word. 1 reached the shelter of the cherry tree just before Mollie lawcett, a tired in Marlon’s knickers, a sweater of mine and with a thick veil wrapped arouhd her head, climbed down the old tree, agilely swing to the ground and swiftly moved toward the road. I padded stealthily after her, dodg ing from tree to tree, that she might not see me, and when 1 reached the gate she was running down the road. Katherine slipped her hand into mine as I reached the gate. Bhe was breathing hard as she whispered fran tically: "Did she get away?" I shook my head in negation and pointed down the road, down which Mollie Fawcett's slender figura was running. She took away her hand promptly and stepped behind m*. "Single file,” she whispered, and keep close to the bushes." Birth Announcements. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Ceoh re port the birth of a son at the Lord l.ieter hospital on September !<■ MARY F.
