suddenly transforming a cairn lake
i^nto a wild spume.
"Edwin!” she called loudly, as if she

The face of the big Burgeon, as be
looked down into bis wife’s wild,
pleading eyes, was one which I never
shall forget, Such a look a wanderer
tong lost In a desert might wear
when ho suddenly comes upon water.
He put his arm around his wife and
drew her closely to him, disregarding
everyone else as had she.
"Of course, Harriet," he said sim
ply. “You shall do exactly as you
wish concerning them.”
I caught Lillian's eyes and witjri
her began to edge toward the door.
Dicky followed our example, but his
mother made on Imperative gesture
before we reached it, which halted
us alt abruptly.
“Every one of you stay right where
you are." she commanded, and at the
sound of her mother's voice, Harriet
Braithvvalte lifted her head from her
husband's shoulder.
“Mother!” she exclaimed passionate
ly. "Surely you are not—”
“Hold your horses, Harriet." My
mother-in-law's voice held no hint of
the excitement which I knew must be
flaming within her indomitable old
soul. "I'm not a fool, even If my
children may consider me a candidate
for the feeble minded home.”
She loo*ked searchingly at each of
us as If trying to detect any hint of
amusement upon our faces. But hang
ing Judges were not more solemn than
her audience, and with a little sniff
she proceeded to give the decision on
which her daughter hung in suspense,
little dreaming of the farce the elder
woman had enacted for her benefit.
“Mind you, Harriet, I am not giv
ing up my share In the say of those
children." she said crisply. \"You
heard what Edwin said about Wil
liam's wishes. You, Richard and I
were to be their guardians, and I feel
it is Just as binding upon us as if the
poor man had lived to sign his will.
But I have sense enough to know’
that you're the only one free enough
to get them out of reach of that Har
rison gang, so I’ll take back what I
said about keeping them permanent
ly here. You may have them to keep
if you want them, but I expect al
ways to be consulted about them.”
Harriet Acquiesce*.
She threw herself back In her chair
with her lips tightening Into the thin
line I knew so well. I looked furtive
ly at Harriet, saw her mouth Involun
tarily begin to form a similar line.
And then as quickly her lips soften
ed Into a smile and she turned to
her mother eagerly.
"Of course, mother," she said pla
catingly. “And It Is dear of yftu to
let me—us,” she corrected herself
quickly—"have them now.”
"No, it's not dear," her another re
turned, but her voice was far more
gracious than her words. "It's the
only thing that can he done. But the
next thing Is. where are you going
to take them?”
"As far away as possible and as
quickly.” Harriet returned. "Edwin,
don't you agree with me?”
"Absolutely, my dear," he returned
quickly. “What do you say? Shall we
hurry up that trip to France we've
been planning?”
"That’s the ticket," Dicky struck
in, and we all silently agreed with
him. Dr. Braithwaite's plan to turn
over his work to bis most valued as
sistant and take a long, leisurely holi
day In the country where he had
served humanity so gloriously In the
World war. was known to all of us.
and It seemed almost a providential
thing that It should fit In so well with
the necessity for getting the Harri
son children out of the country.
“There's a steamer sailing on Sat
urday,” Lillian interposed, and by the
quick signaling look she gave me I
knew that there was something be
hind the apparently casual comment,
somMliing which ahe wished me to
watch.

Yellow
Cab
A Winter Economy
Slush ! Ice! Snow! Rain !
Soggy under foot. Drizzling
overhead. A shopping trip or a social
call under such weather conditions is
fraught with many irritations.
Why not summon a safe,
clean, warm YELLOW CAB and
forget that it is Winter? One of our
reliable, experienced drivers will pick you
up at your door and deliver you quickly
and safely to your destination at a charge
less than a box of cold pills.
YELLOW CAB affords the
maximum of convenience and
comfort when the weather is at its
worst. It is an ordeal to get your car started
these cold mornings.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper in the
long nan to leave your private
car in the garage and use a YELLOW
CAB?
Three months of winter
driving almost certainly means a
new paint job, an expense of anywhere
from $50 to $150. A frozen radiator is a
constant source of danger. Congealed oil
may cause serious bearing trouble.
We have all the necessary
facilities to keep YELLOW
CABS in efficient operation when the
mercury ssfgs down toward zero. Our rates
are low enough to satisfy every instinct of
economy.
