Why1" Leila Begged Madge fo Aid Her
With Mra. Durkee.
"Have you no news for me. Edie?”
Leila Durkee’a gently - breathed
query, as she lifted her sister's left
hand and looked at the ring finger,
seemed to me like a raucous shout In
the quiet library.
Instinctively 1 found my eyes trav
eling to Dicky in ths window alcove,
but, quick as was my glance, Edith
Fairfax's was swifter, end I found
myself breathing hard, as if I had
been running, while my whole body
tensed with the knowledge that! con
sciously or unconsciously, she had
expected some definite reaction of my
husband to her sister's Implication.
Had Dicky heard? I knew that
mentally she was asking the same
question as I, but the answer was not
for either of us as yet. Ills back was
toward us and there wan no slightest
sign to indicate his knowledge of any
thing going on inside the room.
Carefully I kept my eyes averted
from the sisters, but I could visualize
llie hasty withdrawal of Edith’s hand
and 1 could not help overhearing her
whisper, which, to mv Inflamed Im
agination, was loud enough to reach
Dicky's ears:
“Of course not. Goose! What news
should I have?”
Leila's murmured reply was barely
audible even to me, standing much
nearer them than Dicky.
■'Why! I had hoped from your let
ters that—Jim—"
"Nonsense!” came the quick, irri
tated answer. "Jim's the same old
dear, but—I’m not sure—yet—"
Ijeiln Is Sorely Distressed,
1 understood the Implication, if her
sister did not, and my pulses quick
ened angrily at the knowledge that
Edith Fairfax could not be "sure” of
her feling toward Dr. Paige—klns
man. comrade of her childhood, de
voted wooer of her young woman
hood—becauae she had not yet con
quered the unrequited affection for
Dicky which had caused me eo many
hours of mental anguish.
I had no time to nurae my griev
ance, however, for Leila, with quick
irrelevance, went back to her own
problem and Included me in her ap
peal.
“Oh, Madge, dear; please come here
and tell me what I'm going to do
about Mother Durkee!” she pleaded,
and when 1 promptly crossed to her
sldA she released one hand from
Edith's clasp and held It out to me.
t clasped it tenderly, smothering my
resentment against Edith In my very
real affection for her sister.
"Do?” I echoed Impatiently.
"Nothing at all. Just leave her to
herself. Her own common sense will
show her the injustice stie has done
you.”
“Rut it’s awful!” Della said. “Thai
telltale fare of mine! You know I
wouldn't have hljited a single syllable
to her, don't you, but I know what
Alf la up against and when she was
planning ail those new dresses, just
ae if nothing had happened, I sup
pose J showed in my face whal I was
thinking. Oh, 1 wouldn’t have It
happen for anything! She'll think I
begrudge her new dresses.”
“Suppose she does,” Edith struck
In cooly, and in her voice was the
tense partlssnshlp of “In laws”
ranged on different sides of a ques
tion. “Perhaps it will bring her to
her senses. The trouble with that
woman is she can't realize yet that
Alfred Is married and has other re
sponsibilities beside his mother. She's
an adorable little woman, I grant
you, she's a spoiled child, neverthe
less, and the only difference between
her and an equally spoiled youngster
of three years is that you can spank
the 3-year-old."
“I mustn't let you talk that way
about Alfred's mother, Edie,” Dpila
said with pretty dignity, and as 1
saw the elder sister's fare whiten
and her fingers clench, 1 knew that
Della'a reproof had bruised her spirit
sorely, bringing home the fact that
her sister no longer belonged solely
to .her, but gave sweet fealty to her
husband and his . mother, evcei
through Incidents which aroused I
Edith’s Ire.
1 wan compelled to an unwilling ad
miration for Edith Fairfax aa I aaw
her choke back the retort upon her
lips, and .Instead say contritely.
"You're right, I^ila,' I should not
have spoken in that way. But you’re
wrong in grieving over what has
happened As Madge saya, if your
motber ln law has ordinary common
sense, she’ll soon realise her Injustice
to you snd things will adjust them
selves."
"But T want her to hava tha new
things," Leila wailed. "Jt will be aw
ful If she doesn't get them because of
what she saw In my face. Suppose
Alfred should find out:”
