Chapter Two Continued. ""'Me? Want nie? Mother Ander son?' she cried. 'Oh, I'm so gladl' Then sho made It worso by runnln' up the stairs an' botincln' into tho room like a rubber ball, an' cryln': 'Now, what shall I do, read to you, or sing to you, or shall wo piny games? I'd love to do nny of them I' Just Hko that, she said It. I heard her. Then I went out, of course, an' loft them.. But I heard 'moat everything that wbb said, Just tho same, for I was rjght In the next room dustln,' and tho door wasn't qulto shut. "First your grandmother Bald real polite she wns always polite but In n cold llttlo voice that made oven mo shiver In tho other room, that sho did not dcslro to bo read to or sung to, and that sho did not wish to play games. Sho hnd called her daughter-In-law In to have a serious talk with hor. Then sho told her, still very polite, that Bhe was noisy an' child ish, an' undignified, an' that It wns not only silly, but very wrong for her to expect to have her husband's entire attention; thnt ho had his own work, an' It wns u very Important ono. He wns going to bo president of tho col lego somo dny, llko his father before him; an' It wns her place to help him In every wny sho could help him to bo populnr an' well-liked by nil tho college people un' students ; an' . ho couldn't bo that If sho Insisted all tho time on kecpln' him to herself, or look In' sour nn' cross If sho couldn't have him. "Of course that ain't nil sho said; but I remember this part particular on uccount of what happened aftor ward. You see your ma sho felt awful bad. Sho cried a llttlo, nn' sighed n lot, nn' said she'd try, sho really would try to help her husband In every wuy sho could; an' she wouldn't ask him another once, not once, to stuy with her. An' sho wouldn't look sour an' cross, cither. She'd promlso sho wouldn't. An she'd try, she'd try, oh, so hnrd, to bo proper an' dignified, ''She got up then nn' went out of tho room so quiet nn' still you wouldn't know she was movlu'. But I hoard her up In her room cryln' half un hour later, when I stopped n mlnuto at her door to see If she was there. An' alio was "But she wasn't cryln by night Not much sho was I She'd washed her face an' dressed herself up as pretty as could be, an' sho never so much as looked as if sho wanted her hus band to stay with her, when ho said right after supper that ho guessed he'd go out to tho observatory. An' 'twas that way right along after that. I know, 'cause I watched. You sec, I knew what she'd said Bho'd do. Well, she did It. "Then, pretty quick after that, sho began to get acquainted In tho town. Folks called, nn' there wns parties 'an' receptions whore she met folks, an' they begun to como hero to tho house, '6peclnlly them students, nn two or three or them young, unmarried pre fcBSOrs. An' she began to go out a lot with them skutln' an slelghrldln' an' snowshoeln'. "Llko It?' Of course sho liked It I Who wouldn't? Why, child, you never eaw such a fuss ns they tnado over your ma In them days. Sho was all "the rage; nn' of courso alio llkod it What woman wouldn't, that was gay an' lively an' young, nn' had been so lonesome like your ma had? But oomo other folks didn't llko It. An' your pu was ono of them. This tlrno 'twas him thnt made tho trouble. I know, 'cause I heard what he Bald ono day to her in the library. "Yes, I guess I wus In tho next room that day, too or dustln', probably. Anyway, I heard him tell your ma good an' plain what ho thought of hor gnl llvantln' 'round from mornln' till night twtth them young students an' profes sors, an' bavin them hero, too, such n lot, till tho house was fairly overrun with them. Ho said ho was shocked an' scandalized, nn' didn't sho have nny regard for his honor an' decency, If . che didn't for herself I An' oh, a whplo lot more. "Cry? No, your ma didn't cry this time. I met hor In tho hnll right after they got through tnlkln', nn' sho was white as a sheet, an' her eyes was llko two blnzln' stnrs. So I know how sho must have looked while she was In tho library. An' I must say she give it to him good an' plain, straight from tho shoulder. She told him she was shocked an' scandalized that he could talk to his wlfo like that; nn' didn't he linve any more regard for her honor an' decency than to nccuso her of run rln' after any man living much less n dozen of them An' then she told him n lot of what his mother had said to her, an' she said she had been mere ly tryln' to carry out those Instruc tions. She wns tryln' to make her husband nn' her husband's wlfo an' her husbnnd's homo popular .with Jhe "Yea, I Guess I Waa In the Next Room That Day, Too er DuctlnV cdllcgb folks, ho site could help liTin to bo president, If ho wanted to be. But he answered back, cold an' chilly, that he thanked her, of course, but ho didn't enro for any more of that kind of assistance; an' If she would give n little more tlmo to her homo an' her housekeepln', ns she ought to, he would be considerably better pleased. An' sho said, very well, sho would, sco thnt he had no further cnuso to complain. An' the next minute I met her In the hall, as I Just snld, her head high und her eyes blnzln'. "An' things did change then, a lot, I'll own. Bight nwny sho began to re fuso to go out with the students an' young professors, un' she sent down 'word she wasn't to home when they called. And pretty quick, of course, they stopped comln'. "Housekeepln'? Attend to that? Well, y-yes, she did try to nt first, a llttlo; but of course your grandma hnd always given the orders through me, I mean; nn' there renlly wnsn't anything your ma could do. An' I told her ho, plain. Her ways were new nn' different nn' queer, nn' wo llkod ours better, nnywny. So sho didn't bother us much that way very long. Besides, she wasn't feclln' very well, nnywny, nn' for the next few months she stayed In her room a lot, an' wo didn't seo much of her. Then by an' by you came, an' well, I guess thnt'8 all too much, you llttlo chatter box I" CHAPTER ill The Break la Made. And that's tho wny Nurse Sarah finished her story, only she shrugged her shoulders nguln, and looked back, first ono way, then another. As for her culling mo "chatterbox" she al ways calls me that when she's been doing all tho talking. As near ns I tan remember, I havo told Nurso Sarah's story exactly ns she told It to mo, In her own words. But of tfourso I know I didn't get it right all tho time, and I know l'vo left out qulto n lot. But, anyway, It's told a whole lot more than I could hnvo told why thoy got married in the first place, and It brings my story right up to tho, point where I was born; nnd I've nl-' ready told about naming me, nnd what a time thoy hnd over that. Of course whnt's happened since, up to now, I don't know nil about, for 1 was only a child for the first few years. Now I'm almost a young lady, "standing with reluctant feet where the brook nnd river meet" (I rend that lust night. I think It's perfectly beautiful. So kind of Bad and sweet It makes mo "want to cry every time I think of it) But even if I don't know nil of what's hanneneil since I wns born, I know a good deal, for I've scon qulto n lot, and l'vo made Nurso toll mo a lot more. I know that over slnco I can remem ber l'vo hud to keep as still as a mouse tho mlnuto Father comes Into the house; and I know that I never could Imagino tho kind of a mother that Nurso tells uboutT if It wasn't that sometimes when Father has gone off on a trip, Mother und I have romped all over tho house, and had tho most bonutlful time. I know Unit Father says that Mother Is always trying to mako mo a "Marie," and nothing elso; and that Mother snyB sho knows Fathol! never bo happy until he's mndo mo Into a Btupld llttlo "Mary," with never an atom of life of my own. And, do you know? It docs sooin sometimes, as If Mary and Mario wcro fighting inside of me, and I wonder which Is going to bent. Funny, isn't It? Father Is president of the collego now, nnd I don't know how many stars and comets and things he's discov ered since tin; night the star and I were bom together. But I know he's very fnmous, and thnt he's written up In the papers nnd magazines, nnd is In the Mg fut red "Who's Who" In the library, and hns lots of noted men come to see him. Nurse snys that Grandma Anderson died very soon after I waa born, but that It didn't make any particular dif ference In the housekeeping; for things went right on Just us they had done, with her giving the orders ns before; thnt she'd given them nil alone nny wuy, mostly, the last year Grandma Anderson lived, and she knew Just how Father liked things. She snld Mother tried once or twice to take the reins herself, and once Nurse let her, Just to see what would happen. But things got In an awful muddle right away, so that even Father noticed It nnd snld things. After that Mother nover tried again, I guess. Anyhow, shVs never tried It since I can remem ber. She's nlwnys stayed most of the time up In her rooms In tho cast wing, except during meals, or when she went out with me, or weut to the things she and Father had to go to together. For they did go to lots of tilings, Nurse says. It seemB that for a long time they didn't wunt folks to know there was going to be a divorce. So before folks they tried to be Just as usunl. But Nurse Sarah said sho know thero was going to be one long ago. The first I ever heard of It was Nurso telling Norn, the girl we had In the kitchen then ; nnd tho mlnuto I got a chnnco I asked Nurse what It was a divorce. My, I can remember now how scared she looked, and how sho clapped her hand over my mouth. Sho wouldn't tell me not n word. And thafs the first time I ever saw her give that quick llttlo look over each shoulder. She's done it lots of times since. As I snld, she wouldn't tell me, so I hnd to ask somo ono else. I wasn't going to let It go by nnd not find out not when Nurso Sarah looked so scared, and when It was something my father and mother were going to havo somo day. I didn't like to nsk Mother. Some way, I had n feeling, from the way Nurse Snrnh looked, thnt it wns some thing Mother wnsn't going to like. And I thought If mnybe she didn't know yet she was going to hnvo it, thnt certulnly I didn't wunt to be tho one to tell her. So I didn't nsk Mother what a divorce wns. I didn't even think of asking Fath er, of course. I never ask Father questions. Nurse says I did nsk him onco why ho didn't love mo like other papas loved their llttlo girls. But I was very little then, and I don't remem ber It at all. But Nurse said Father didn't like it very well, nnd maybe I did remember, that purt, without renl ly knowing It. Anyhow, I never think of asking Father questions. I asked the doctor first. I thought maybe 'twas some kind of a disease, nnd If ho knew it wns coming, ho could give them some sort of a medi cine to keep It nwny like being vac clnnted so's not to have smallpox, you know. And I told him so. Ho gave a funny little laugh, thnt somehow didn't sound like a laugh at all. Then ho grew very, very sober, and said: "I'm sorry, llttlo girl, but I'm ufrald I haven't got nny medicine that will prevent n divorce. If I did have, thcre'd bo no eating or drinking or sleeping for me, I'm thinking I'd be so busy nnswerlng my culls." "Theu It is n disense!" I cried. And I can remember Just how fright ened I felt "But Isn't thero nny doc tor unywhere thnt can stop It?" He shook his head and gave that queer little laugh again. "I'm afraid not," ho sighed. "As for it's being n disease thero are people thnt cull It n disease, and there nro others who call It a cure; and there are still others who say It's n remedy worso than tho disease It tries to cure. But, there, you baby I What am I snylng? Come, come, my dear, Just forget It It's nothing you should bother your llttlo head over now. Walt till you're older." Till I'm oldor, Indeed I How I huto to havo folks talk to mo llko that! And thoy do thoy do It all tho time. As If I was a child now, when I'm almost standing there where the brook and river meet I But thnt wns Just the kind of talk I got, everywhere, nearly every time I asked any ono what n divorce wns. Somo laughed, and some sighed. Somo looked real worried 'cause I'd nsked It, and one got mnd. (That wns the drcssmnkcr. I found out afterward that she'd had n divorce already, so probably she thought I asked tho ques tion on purposo to plague her.) But nobody would answer me really an swer mo sensibly, so I'd know what It meant; and 'most everybody snld, "Run nwny, child," or "You shouldn't talk of such things," or, "Walt my dear, till you're older"; and all that. Oh, how I hate such talk when I really want to know something I How do thoy expect us to got our education if they won't answer our questions? I don't know which made me angri est I mean angrier. (I'm speaking of two things, bo I must, I suppose, I hnto grammar I) To havo thcin talk llko that not answer mo, you know or havo them do as Mr. Jones, the storekeeper, did, and Uio men there with hlra.
