fact betrayed nothing, and vet
madam had heard every word
mied nothing!
Lena Adamt joined Violet again.
"You never told mt you knew
him," the laid. Thert wat tort of
jealousy in her eyet, her voice wat
conttrained.
"I don't know him," taid Violet
hotly. "And I'm turt I don't want
to know him. My hat blew away in

it: bent it all out of thape and then

"And he recogniied

"Ye:I tuppose because I was

done after that hour to promptly at
the smart commissionaire put up
the iron gate in front of the plate-
glass door, pulled the velvet cur
tains across the windowt and took
off his smart coat.
Violet almost ran home: the motor
bus she was bound to take part of
the way seemed to crawl; she felt
that she could have done the dis
tance faster on foot; she raced up
the steps to the door of No. 13 and
knocked impatiently.
Mrs. Higgs stumped heavily across
the hall; Ronnie wat hanging to her
skirts, his little face flushed with de
light when he saw Violet. When she
lifted him tip he clung to her neck in
a frenzy of joy.
Mrs. Higg looked on with envy
in her one eve.
"Any one 'ud think that 'e'd been
crying all day," the said resentfully.
"But he's been as good at gold,
blowing soap bubbles, and a nice
mess he's made in my kitchen, an
extra 2 shillings a week wont pay
for the trouble, Mist Ingleby, I'm
thinkina."
v She walked away to the kitchen
still muttering to herself, at Violet
climbed the stairs with Ronnie in
her arms.
She sat down by the window, still
keeping him in her lap; she kissed
his face, his hair, his chubby neck-
even the dimpled hands that Kill
smelt of Mrs. Higgs' soap bubbles.
She took off his shoes and socks
and played "Three little pigt went
to market with his tiny toes; she
tickled his fat little neck till he
shrieked with laughter; for an hour
she was as young rs ht they were
just a couple of children playing to

day clock striking half-past 6. that
brought Violet back to time and
place; she put Ronnie down with a
final kiss; she made tea and let him
sit on her lap while he had his.
She loved the "crumby" kisses he
offered her at every mouthful; she
swallowed the crusts his little teeth
could not manage with relish; they
shared the same nip.
Then she bathed Vim in a tin bath
borrowed from Mrs. Higgs and
helped him sail the sixpenny boat
over the soapsuds, and finally tucked
him up in bed, rosy and beautiful,
his brown curls still damp.
Then she tidied up the room,
washed the tea things and dressed
to go out.. She did not put on her
hat until she was sure Ronnie
slept; she knew she could not
bear to leave him again if he cried;
she sat beside him till his regular
breathing told her that Tie was far
away in dreamland; then the kiss

boat which had so gallantly ridden
the soapsuds and stole out of the
room and downstairs.
In the hall she met Olive Hale;
Gatwick's did not close till 7. "Wljy
are you home so early?" asked
Olive sharply.
"We close at 5," Violet used the
plural possessive - quite naturally;
she had thoroughly enjoyed her first
day at Violette s; already she felt
as it she were part and parcel ot
the interesting and wonderful con
cern.
"Oh!" Olive shrugged her should
era and looked at Violette closely.
I posted your letter at Chesham,
she said.
Thank you very much," Violette
flushed consciously. The two girls
had not met since the Friday nieht:
Ulive had been late into bed on the
Saturday and late out of it on the

which had finally landed them back
in the small hours of Monday morn

as Violet made a move to pass her.
Violet hesitated, subterfuge was
difficult to her: she was wise enoush,
too, to know that the could not pos-

"I've got an appointment," she
said. "It's it's to do with the letter
you posted for me. . ' I told you it
was an answer to an advertisement,
didn't I?"
"Yes." The monoiyllable was curt.
There was a little pause.
"How's the kid?" asked Olive sud
denly. Violet flushed; her eyes grew
bright.
"He'a just beautiful," the said
earnestly. "I bought him a boat this
evening, and you should have seen
him with it in the bath: it was the
prettiest sight"
I hate kids," said Olive; she did
not care in the very least how Ron
nie was; she had only asked as a
means to introduce him into the con
versation. "You'll find him a nice ex

grimly. "Unless some one's helping

"Of eourt not." Violet't voice

wouldn't take money for him if it

Oliv laughed.
"Oh, well, then, I think you're a

ttairi. "Take all you can get; that't

(houlder.
But Violet had gone; her only an
iwer wat the bang of the itreet door.
Violet took a but and the tube to
Charing Croti; the half dreaded the
meeting which lay before her, and
yet the hurried.
She wanted to know the worst at
toon at pottible; ihe wa fully pre
pared to find that Ronald Hatting
himtclf had come in answer to her
letter; she planned carefully in her
mind what she would say to him.
She forcot that it would be the
eatiett matter in tne world tor him
to discover her address; he had seen
her at Violette'. and she had given
the name of the dingy street where
Mrs. Higgs lived to madame: conse
quently he had only to atk madame.
but Violet did not think of that:
she prided herself that the had been
very clever in covering up her trackt;
nobody could tut pect her real where
abouts with the letter postmarked
mesham, and Charing Cro was
far enough away from No. 13; she
had alto arranged a most ridiculous
ly circuitous route home in case she
should be followed.
She had no intention of giving up
the child; she had no intention of
even admitting he wat with her; the
had come partly from curiosity; part
ly with the intention of asking ques
tions, not antwering them; the was
not going to show her hand in the
slightest degree until Ronald Hast
ings showed his. v
She was flushed with nervousness
and excitement when she reached
Charing Cross; ahe stood in the shel
ter ot a waiting room door and
looked anxiously about her.
A young-man standing under a
lamp reading a paper moved a little,
glanced around him, folded the paper
and stowed it away in his pocket.
Violet looked at him, wondering
what he wat waiting for; the won
dered what everyone was waiting for,
if it were for any reason at interest
ing as her own. He was an ordinary
looking young man; he wore a suit
that had seen Its best days and a
cheap tie, but he had a kind face
and nice eyes; he was . . . Vio
let smiled suddenly; he was the man
who had shared his umbrella with
her that wet night outside the gal
lery door of the theater. He recog
nized her at the same moment; he
seemed to hesitate; then he came for
ward, raising his hat.
"Good evening."
His manner was quite courteous;
there was no undue familiarity in
voice or face. Violet answered him at
once.
"Good evening." She remembered
gratefully that he had shared hm
shabby umbrella with her; ' that he
had given Ronnie's poor dead mother
2 .pence. "What a small place the
world i!" (he taid with tmile.
"How funny thould meet again,
Un't it?"
She looktd at hit tie: it wa a
hidrou thing, red, with pot in
ome nondrtctipt hade of green; the
thought how frightfully it clathtd
with a bunch of violet ht wore in hit
coat; a bunrh of violett! She grew
suddenly pale; the tiared at him with
parted lipi and wide eye.
The young man tmilrd a little
pervoutly. . .
"I wi here punctually at S." he
aid diffidently. "I I i 'r'd

For a moment it teemed to Vio
let at if th earth were rocking
wildly around her at the itood and
gazed at the young man in the hid
deout tie. Her nrtt thought wat
that the wat dreaming; that ihe
would wake up presently In the bare

angry. She believed that he had
played a trick on her. that he had

night of the accident and inserted
hit advertisement in order to get into
communication with her again. She
wa not at all ure, eveji, that he
was not going to attempt blackmail.
The young man wa very red: he
looked distressed and very much
at if he wiihed the earth would
open and twallow him up. He hM

other; he looked o utterly inof

gently.
"I had no idea it would be you

"I did not say I had taken him."
"I presumed it," he answered.
"Otherwise, why are vou here?"
Violet grew pale. She would have
given anything not to have tome;
she thought of Ronnie with a sudden
panic; she seemed to feel the cling
of his little arms about hef throat,
the silky softness of his brown curls
against i her cheek, hear his merry
laugh when he woke in the morning
and dragged at her hair to waken her.
She felt as if she were on the verge
of losing him; as if the ordinary
looking young man in the hideous tie
and shabby suit were come to snatch
him from her arms.

In a little while Mr. Flicker re

no
doubt that the Woodchuck
brothers will accept your offer. Why
don't vou move ud to the pasture at
once? You'd find it handy, living
in the Woodchucks doorvard.
' I can't do that, said Mr. Flicker.
You forget my family."
"Move them too!" Reddy urged.
But Mr. Filcker shook hit head.
"I don't believe my wife would be
willing," he replied. "Betidet there't
that piece of tin on the roof of the
barn. Would you advite me to move
that?"
"No!" Reddy cried hattily. "Don't
move the tin! In fact, Mr. Flicker,
I thouldn't move at all if I were
you."
But Mr. Flicker had liked the
plan of moving to the pasture to
live. He had found great quantitiet
of antt there. And, to Reddy't dis
may, he insisted that he thould move
and take the strip of tin with him.
That is to say, he intended to move
as soon at his wife gave him per
mission.
Itt wat no wonder Reddy wished
he had never put tuch an idea into
hit cousin Mr. Flicker'! head. He
had hoped to get rid only of Mr.
Flicker and hit drumming. He had
never dreamed that Mr. flicker
would want to take the precious bit
of tin with him when he went.
Shortly afterward Mr. Flicker re
ported that it was jutt as he had
thought. Mr. Flicker wouldn't lis
ten to moving jutt then. But later,
after the children learned to fly, and
could feed themtelvet, she would
have no objection to the change of
residence. '
Reddy Woodpecker cocked an eye
toward the roof of the barn.
"That tin," he said, "you can't.
take it with you when you move.
It belongs to Farmer Green.
"Oh " Mr. tucker exclaimed, "l

It teemed at if Mr. Flicker were

"I with." he taid. "we'd have
