AS the summer passed, Mr. Cut
ter ate more, slept more, and
worked lees. Any hour ot the
day you might find him dozing
on his stool, his face supported
by his two white hands. If you
went to tell him that the water
was low, he would pick up his
pen and nod with a weary,
harassed look as if to say he
would come when he could ever
get clear of what he was doing.
Half an hour later, when you
went again, you couldn't find him.
He began to get irritable. One
of my favorite paBtlmcs was por
ing over the hotel register, es
pecially its early pages.
I liked to finger the copper
paper weight while I read. Mr.
Cutter allowed me to take both
that and the register less and less
willingly. Often after no more
than 10 minutes he began to tap
on his desk and beckon. When
I put them back, he would
straighten them with exaggerated
care and then would return to
his nap or his circles,
I used to complain a good deal
about him. "He's crabby," I said,
vehemently. "And Papa is always
just so nice to him."
"Vour father is nice to every
one," my mother reproved mo.
But she must have noticed, as
I did, that my father was espe
cially nlco to, Mr. Cutter. Kvery
noon he took the paper to him,
and every evening he sot with
him for a time In the office, though
they seldom talked.
"Mama," Sue snld one day,
looking puzzled. "Is Mr. Cutler
Ada's fcllowV"
"Of course not," my mother an
swered. "She likes him anyway," Sue
argued.
'T'HIS was gelling more and more
apparent to us all. She had
made him a beaded napkin ring,

and then, undaunted by his In
difference, a sweet-grass basket
for his handkerchiefs.
"All of us like him," my mother
said, being very careful,
"I don't," Julia put In.
"But Ada shows it," Sue per
sisted. "She ought not to do that,
ought she, Mama?"
"It Isn't up to us to pass judg
ment," my mother said. "Of
course, if it were one of you
girls. ..."
My cheeks wcrmcd. I showed
how I liked Benjamin. I showed
it all the time. But Benjamin
whose eyes always went wander
ing off after Ada didn't notice.
He didn't notice anything any
more. Ho was growing very
glum. Once he had done his
pumping after supper while Ada
was washing the dishes, and they
had had a great time plaguing
each other.
"You're slower than cold mo
lasses," Ada wouM taunt.
"Slow, am 17" He would go
faster and faster, his big muscles
bulging. "A slow-poke, am I?"
His face would get red and his
breath come hard. Sometimes he
wouldn't stop until the water
came bubbling from the overflow
in the sink. After that he would
sit down on the stairs, blocking
her way when she started up.
"You lot mo by, Mister."
"Did you say tomethlng?" he
would ask, seizing her wrists. "I
don't hear very good tonight."
But Ada had no time for him
now. Every spare minute went
In making tilings for Mr. Cutter
or just sitting on the stops out
side of the office.
Benjamin began to do his
pumping in the morning. Ho
didn't have a thing to say to Mr.
Cutter. If thoro was a message
that had to go to the office, ho
sent it by Boshy. Day after day
ho wou)d drive out alone In a

THE
MRS. GUFTILL kept her eye
A on everything Mr. Cutter did;
ready to find fault. It wasn't
just that' he was lazy, she said.
Ho was wasteful, too. "Ht left the
office Inkwell open. At meals ne J
reordered, then neglected to clean
his plate. Moreover, he was using
too much kerosene. Every morn
ing Ada brought his lamp down,
bone dry." All of the other lamps
were more than half full. Such
extravagance! He must be burn
ing It all night, she said. '
Suddenly one day she noticed
something. The lamp was bono
dry, but the wick barely needed
trimming. It didn't make sense.
Something funny was going on,
she decided. . '
She lit Into Ada, demanding ah
explanation. Ada " flared right
back. Lot people mind their own
business., . . .
This had gone far enough, my
mother decided.'
That night she spoke to my fa
ther about It. "Mr. Cutter is
turning this place upside down,"
she said, "and I think you should
discharge him."
"It isn't his fault, Is, It?" my
father demanded.
"Maybe not, directly," my
mother granted. . "But he is the
disturbing influence. Besides, we
haven't enough business to war-,
rant his staying."
"Oh, I don't know about that,"
my father, said, picking up his pa
per. He never liked to face, un
pleasant facts. i .
"I know," my mother sold. ''. She!
had gono through a lot that sum
mer, and her patience was getting
sorely tried. "He's no earthly
good, anyway,, and It's, costing us
money to keep him. I'm going to
insist that you send him back."
My mother seldom took a real
Bland.
There was a long; strained
silence.
My father got up and folded
his pupcr. "I can't send him
back," ho said quietly. "I couldn't
oven if I made up my mind to It."
He went out and closed the
door.
