So you may as well . go over home.

"Well," Phil remarked with calm satisfaction, not so very much later, "rieht ahead is Whiskey Gulch. Are all the nuts still tight?" "Search me,' T. Paer grunted as he bounced back from the top bow,' "but I know! one thing sure." "What" s that?" Phil asked curiously. "If any of 'am're battered up like I am." T. Paer grinned, "the only way you could loosen 'era'd be with a cold chisel." "No," Mr. Honingshead .,: replied. "She is dining out with, young For- eythe." ; , .. i , "Tell her - to com in early," the I mother urged. " j "She will," was the confident asser tion. "And now. Miss Brown, you co .on and. get ready for your trip. 1 1 will order the taxi at once. Dick, I stay with your mother until I return." 'Adelaide was thankful for this sug gestion, as it enabled her to slip away to her own room before Richard had a chance to reproach; her for not cepting his invitation to drive across town with him. But when, on her way out she reached the front door he called her name, and she saw him coming alonR the. hall toward her. To her relief, he did not mention her rejection of ms oner. Patty and I must be getting off aoout 6 or a little! earlier." he said. "Sh wants m to ask you to get home as near. 5 as possible. She does not need all that time !to fix up for. the evening. Tout she says she does. She is a selfish little thing. I am sorry she spoke as she did this noon. It was rather nasty of her." "I. will be; at Jaonie by 6, (Adelaide I promised hastily. Then she hurried away without 1 further speech. She did not car to discuss this young him. man's sister with In th cab ' sh let her thoughts dwell on the happenings of the past hour or - twor It was evident that I Mr. Hollingshead had told his daughter I that she must spend some time with her mother. She had gone to her room for the rest sh pretended to need. But by 4 o'clock she must be in her mother's room, and stay there until the attendant's return. . How she would hat this ! , Adelaide -wondered if Patricia loved her mother. If so, how could she bring I herself to deny the ill woman the Joys of i her society? As the attendant mused, she saw clearly the selfishness of the. more fortunate girl's character. i Patricia, - had ; vrything wealth. friends, popularity, parents who adored her. Yet all. these things bad failed to make her unselfish. Well, it was none of her business, Adelaide reflected now. Her duty was plain. She must do all that was pos sible to lighten the burdens of blind ness and illness that Mrs. Hollingshead must bear. It was for this that she received a generous salary. 1 She would I try not to think of the disagreeable features connected: with, her work. A while ago she had 'been angry and un reasonable. She was - sorry she had allowed her temper to get th best of I her. . h. was glad to hav thea few I minutes alone in which to get matters in their proper perspective. - , .
