    ltmv Madge Heaps Coals of Fire Upon
Jerry’s Head.
With the urgency of my errand for
Katherine upon me, I went back to
the preparation of the things for which
she ha.l uaked as Boon as Mrs. Tlcer
had released my hRnd. And thankful,
Indeed, was I that I was bending over
the kitchen stove Intent upon heating
the milk for .Katherine's patients
when Mrs. Ticer made her statement.
That l)r. Meredith had taken such
extraordinary precautions to prevent
Jerry Ticer from practicing another
practical joke upon me filled me with
surprise.
I felt my face unaccountably flam
ing at her revelation and was gla 1
for the camouflage which the heat of
the stove afforded me. I remembered,
indeed, that Dr. Meredith had cau
tioned me to watch the boy for fear
that he might have other practical
jokes up his sleeve, but I had taken
It for the perfunctory thing which
it appeared. This latest development
showed me, however, that the Inter
est In the ridiculous little episode
must have been far greater than it
appeared. The Inevitable question,
"Why?" seemed to ascend into my
face in the steam from the heating
milk.
But T managed, I flatter myself, to
keep that face noncommittal as I drew
the saucepan of milk to the back of
the stove. Turning to the table, I
busied myself with the trays for Lil
lian and the mysterious girl in my
room. With the housewifely instinct
of helpfulness which rules Mrs. Tlcer
at all times, she came forward to help
me. Then I was able to give my an
swer just the assumption of careless
interest which I thought it needed
to distract her attention.
"That was kind of Dr. Meredith,"
t said, "but hardly necessary. And
I an> so sorry you should have hern
troubled with it. I meant to speak
to Jerry myself and say nothing at
all to you about It.”
"Let Jerry Keep ‘Lady.’ ”
"And a lot of good that would have
done.” she Interrupted. But there was
no trace of consctous rudeness in her
words or manner. “Not hut what
Jerry thinks a sight of you," she went
on. "But soft words roll off him just
like water off a duck's hack." 1 re
flected that she had worked In an old
proverb, ns is her invariable practice.
“What he needs to make him remem
ber is a good clouting on his cars,
and that's what he got,” she wound
up vigorously. “There, those are al
ready now,” she said, with a final
twitch at the dolly covering one of
the trays. "Shall I help you carry
them up?"
“No. thank you. I can manage them
both easily." I said, glad to escape
with no further reference to Dr. Mere
dith.
"You'll come back as soon as you
can, won't you?” she asked. "I want
to hear Jerry ask your forgiveness
with my own cars."
I wished fervently that her pas
sion for expiation were less a fetish
with htrr. hut aloud 1 only said:
"Vrs, i'll come back if you’ll prom
ise to let Jerry keep Lady. Iteally.
Mrs. Tlcer, 1 have studied boys and
girls a great deal and you would
tousc a sen-t? of Injustice in the boy
that lie would never forget. That
might lord to most unhappy results
if you deprive him of the pet ho
loves so dearly. He daserved a pun
ishment, I know, lint you have given
him one that he will remember.”
She had swung open the door for
me a I nil- need with the trays, and
she v.n s ill holding it ajar when I,
my ho: lv finished, had reached the
lowe-, tr p of the staircase. Through
th*. doo I could tte« the outside kitch

also sure he never will do anything
like that again. So, please promise
me he may keep ‘Lady.’ ”
Mrs. Ticer hesitated for only a sec
ond or two. Hut It was long enough
to bring In one bound to her side her
son. He appeared shambling, ridicu
lous, but he had that touch of the
sublime in his raucous, pleading vole?,
which always invests passionate sin

dress it may be garbed.
“Ob, Maw,” he cried. “Please, Maw.

She shook off his hands clawing

voice had lost its harshness as she
replied:
"All right, ell right. I’ll try you

long as you behave yourself. But
remember, it’s all because Mis' Gra

But purposely T did not wait for
Jerry's thanks. From a point half
way up the stairs I sent back a hur
ried disclaim.
“I must hurrry up with these trays.
Mis. Ticer. It's all right, Jerry. 1
don’t want any thanks or speeches.
I Just want you to be careful after
this, and I know you will.
And as I reached the lop of the
stairs there floated up to me a hoarse,
fervent ejaculation from Jerry.

Smartest Gown for
Very Young Miss
outdone by her elders and her new
frock for spring follows in line and
detail nil the new ways of the sea
son's smartest gowns. The little vest
and tailored collar, the belt which
leaves a straight front line and the
skirt with pleats at the side are a
diminutive echo of the mode.
One is never to young to take a
pride in the modishness of one’s cos
tume or to enjoy being appropriately
dressed for the occasion. In flannel
or gingham this frock is a blessing
to her who makes it and a joy to the
youthful wearer.
The pattern for this model is simple
and easily followed. It comes in 14
and 18 year sizes, and in 36, 38, 40
and 42-inch bust measure. It will be
sent to you upon receipt of 20 cents.
