A crispy voice, with efficiency In every inflection, came to my ears when I had lifted the telephone receiver from the hook. And then, before she could further state her errand. Mother Graham's excited voice struck in from the extension telephone upstairs: "Yes, yes! You have a telegram for us? Repeat it, please.” A buzzing sound was the only an swer, and I knew that in some way the connection had been broken. I schooled my voice to the most def ferential courtesy I could manage: "Mother, the connection has been broken—” “I know that as well as you do!" she snapped tartly.’ Ring them back, right away!" "1 would only get the buay signal, ’ I said patiently, " for she undoubtedly is trying to ring us. So if you will please hang up the receiver, I will do the game thing and central will have a chance to ring us hack.” "If you hadn't lushed to the tele phone. there wouldn't have been Hny trouble," she retorted. "I'm sorry," I returned with pre tended meekness, "and I'll keep away from it the next time. It's from Dr. Bralthwaite, of course, and I must 'have the message no that 1 can trans mit It direi tly to Alfred Durkee. Will you make a copy of it for me. please?" I chuckled to myself wickedly as I threw this little bombshell. For well 1 knew that my mother-inlaw hates, above most things, the attempt to write when at a telephone. Her glasses Invariably ride off her nose, she gets flustered at once, and her at tempt at being an amanuensis gen erally ends in an acrimonious alterca tion with the person at the other end of the wire. Mother Graham's (ommand. There was an astonished silence of at least 10 seconds as she digested my little speech. Then she exploded: "Of all tl^e Impudence. I am as tomshed At you, Margaret, although I suppose It's about what I ought to expect. But with all I have on hand here to ask me to write out telegrams. I shall do nothing of the kind. I am going directly back to oversee the cleaning, and when that telephore rings again, see that you answer It.” The upstairs receiver banged on its hook, and as I sofly hung up my own. 1 executed a little dance step of vic tory, but stopped horrified, as from behind me my small son observed me Impersonally: "Mamma dance so pretty ven she talk by Granzle over telephone.” I whirled to see Katherine catch ing him up in her arms. "This child is loaded with dyna mite,” she said, laughing, but with a worried little look. "He has a stick In either hnnd-~and he Is likely to throw »lther at any time. We can on ly wait and pray, however, and keep the dangerous combination as far apart as possible, hoping that the memory which your offspring evi dently has inherited from you, will slip a cog.” “I’ll occupy his mind for a few minutes now, if I can, while you get that telegram." "Let Me See That’.” Junior regarded her critically, his head on one aide like an inquisitive robin's. “You talk awfui foony, Aunt Tat tle,” he observed, and I noted again the scraps of Katie’s ridiculous idioms which he was fast picking up. "Vat you mean?” "I'll tell you over here,” she re turned. earrying him to a big chair near the window, while I returned to the telephone, now ringing again im peratively. "We were cut off.” the crisp voice explained when I had answered It. “Are you ready to receive the tele gram?” "Yes,” and with the pencil and pad of paper which I always keep on the telephone table, 1 transcribed the message.
