The ritimalimi Mother (irahnin Gave
Madge.
"One hundred dollars," I repeated
mechanically, then chided myself as
l saw the hurt, apologetic look upon I
my mother-in-law's face. Her fall
might have set her wits to wonder
ing, hut she was sane enough to In
terpret and resent any astonished re
luctance on my part to grant the odd
request she had made.
"I know that It's a lot to ask you
to do," she said, “Hut I must have
that sum on that day, and I haven't
enough in the bank of my own—you
know my income hasn't come in yet
—and I cannot ask Richard. If you
can lend it to me—why, when my
money conics in I'll—" She flushed
painfully and ran tin* rest of her
words together confusedly, and what
I st last understood was:
"No, I am telling you an untruth
I don't know when I can pay it back
to you. I don't—
I put my hand tenderly over her
lips.
"Don’t talk any more about pay
ing It back, unless you wish to have
an old-fashioned row with me. Of
course 1 11 get you the money, but
I won't need to bring it here. Surely
you will be well enough to come
home before then."
A curious embarrassed flush stole
over her face.
"Oh, I'm sure T can't," she said.
"I must stay here through Tuesday
anyway. And I want you to come
here early that morning, and stay
here all through that day. There arc
—things—I wish you to do for me.
I realized the eminent Justice of her
position, I feared my mother-in-law's
wrath more.
"Yes,” I answered, edging toward
the door.
Then why don't y >u bring him up
tiers at once? What are you delay
ing for?”
The nurse's erisp tones interrupted
htr as she turned to me.
"Mrs Graham. I really must ask
you to leave the room," she sai-l
yvith u faint but distinct edge to her
voice.
"Margaret, don't you dare go out
that door unless it is to bring that
child hack with you." Mji mother in
law's voice rang out determinedly,
and she raised herself in bed only
to lie put back with infinite gentle
ness but inexorable firmness by the
hands of the nurse.
"I cannot be responsible for your
n i ...
mndition if you excite yourself in
this manner," she said with pro
fessional calm, although I guessed
that she wished my mother in law
were a refractory child turned over
to her discipline.
“I'll relieve you of all responslbil
it.v for my condition right now."
Mother Graham retorted. "Luckily,
I’m not a nitnor with a guardian,
an 1 1 still have the privilege of free
speech and movement. Now, either
my grand child is brought to this
room or I shall get up and go down
to him.”
