The mnrrled life of Beatrice nnd
Billy liiul boon Ideally happy. But
when lie entered the little tint one dny
and Rave to Beatrice n letter, Bllllo's
ninnner was constrained.
"It's from nunt," he explained terse
ly, "wants to conic and visit us."
"Not," Bontrlce said, "your Aunt
Dmsllln, Billy?"
"Being that Aunt Drusllla Is the
only aunt I possess, It Is naturally
herself." Ills tone- was pettish.
Beatrice's soft eyes tilled with tears.
"But Billy," she protested, "we Just
can't have her. We've been so bliss
ful alone. Your father bus always
held up this sister Of his us n para
gon housekeeper. You kndw how very
particular your mother sny she was
about everything. She's unmarried,
of course, and will criticize me, nnd
my luck of system, and oh! you
needn't tell me" ns Billy ventured n
remonstrance "I know that exem
plary kind of woman. She will be the
snake In our Eden."
Beatrice cuught herself up. "How
long Is she going to stay, Billy?"
The young husband avoided his
wife's aggrieved eyes.
"About a month, she says," lie re
plied. Beatrice stiffened defiantly.
"Well, she won't stay a month
here," she said. e
"Aunt Druslllu writes," Billy sug
gested, "that she is longing to meet
her new niece. She hasn't seen me
since I was almost a kid. She was
going to be nmrried then, I remember,
but something broke It off."
"Her own exacting disposition prob
ably," Beatrice spitefully remarked.
"That's not quite fair of you," Billy
defended. His wife smiled.
"You see," she said, "she's begin
ning to make trouble betweeu us al
ready." Trouble Indeed seemed to fall to
Billv's lot. Mentally he Mumeil tlie

busy. As n last resort, and though
his pocketboolc could 111 afford It, Billy
sought a nurse's ngency. No nurse
could be promised within three days
at least. And though the ninludy from
which Beatrice suffered was not
necessarily serious, the doctor assured
him that she must have Immediate

Billy himself prepared his wife's
