The Sound Mads Heard Behind
Her When Lillian Drove Away.
"She ' not particularly original," I
commented idly, when Lillian had
interpreted tte Dean's early rising
at a trip to the telegraph office.
"Rita lirown did the tame thing
when we were down south."
"What eUc could the poor giil
do,'" uuotcd Lillian, "cave ttage a
fjke telegram? Neither hat any tal
ent for facing failure or humiliation.
Hut don't nuke the mistake of put
ting Rita iirown and Bets Dean into
the tame category. Of course, Bess
is catty and vain, also the is very
angry at you, and if there was ever
a chance where she could do you
some petty, purely feminine ill turn,
she'd contrive the trick. There'i no
real villainy iit her, however. But
the other dame? I wouldn't trust
her across the block. If she ever ap
pears on your horizon again, you
ee that she is hobbled, pronto."
"I'lUook out for her," I promised,
"But if you want to eat a decent
breakfast before Col. Travcrs ap
pears, I'd advise you to stop talk
ing." "Good enough advice, old-hen-vvith-onc-chickcn,''
she retorted af
fectionately, and I fussily watched
her until she had discussed a good
breakfast, for I knew- that the offi
cer's arrival would peremptorily put
a period to any further thought of
food. She had said that "he must
not be kept waiting, for there is stiff
work on hand," and she was not one
to utter such words idly.
While They Waited.
It lacked five minutes of the hour
named by Col. Travers when we
finished, and as we walked out to
the veranda I noticed that Lillian
took from its hook a motor coat of
hers which hung in the hall ready
for use, and put it over her arm. I
looked quickly from the light sweat
er which she had on over her gown
to the coat, wondering vaguely why
she wanted it, as the morning was
delightfully warm. But I knew bet
ter than to ask her the question and
she vouchsafed no explanation, sim
ply laid the coat over the railing of
the veranda and seated herself in one
o the big porch chairs.
"Is there anything in the world
equal to the beauty of the morning
sun upon these mountains?" she ask
fd, dreamily.
"Unless it be moonlight upon the
ocean," ' I countered, with a vivid
memory of that never-to-be-forgotten
sight.
"Getting homesick for the east
end of Long Island?" she laughed.
What Lillian Asked.
"A little," I confessed.
"I think myself it's nearly time we
all went home," she said reflective
ly. "I'm ever so much better, and
there are any number of things I
ought to do. And, above all, there
is Katie. I want to see that young
woman." ' ,
I looked at her, wondering at her
continued harping upon the subject
of my little maid!s queer behavior-as
reported, by my mother-in-law's let
ter. She returned the look with a
quizzical smile."
"I do take a lot of patience, don't
I, Madge? But trust me. I'll tell you
all I can as soon as I can."
"I 'don't mind anything, just so I
am of real use to you," I assured
hdr hastily, and then the noise of a
rapidly driven motor, a little whirl of
dust, a sudden slackening before the
Cosgrove premises, a stop before he
Kate heralded the approach of Col.
Travers. The officer himself was
driving, and beside him sat Ted Cos
grove. As they alighted and came
up the path together, I noticed that
the boy was heavy-eyed from fatigue
and lack of sleep, the interruption
of his healthy boyish routine, while
the officer evidently used to catch
ing sleep When he could get it, do
ing without it whenever necessary
was as fit as possible. I had not no
ticed in the stress of the evening be
fore what a really handsome man he
was, with his magnificent figure,
clear complexion, a bit high colored,
and black hair heavily tinged with
gray.
His manner was faultless, too, as
he bowed in acknowledgment of my
introduction of him to Lillian. Then
he spoke crisply but deferentially:
"I have only a very few minutes,
and our talk must be undisturbed.
Can I talk to you where we will be
sure of no interruption, or possible
listeners of course, unintentional
ines?" he amended hastily.
, Lillian's answer was a question.
"Can you drive and talk at the
lame time?"
She had thought it all out before
hand! I saw the meaning of the
motor coat laid over the veranda rail
ng. Into Col. Travers's eyes flashed a
learn of admiration.
"Yes, and that is of course the
Scst solution. How soon "
"Now." Lillian rose and picked
jp the motor coat from the railing.
The officer, with quick accustom
ed courtesy, took the coat and help
ed her into it. Another minute and
Ihey had walked to the car, entered
it, and the officer was bending to the
twitch key.
Behind me I heard a sibilant in
take of theb reath, almost a gasp. I
iurned to see Robert Savarin, with
face drained of all ccjAr and his eyes
flaming. .
