and conservative." -
"He's careful, all right," T. Paer
retorted, "not to hit nothin " but the

remarked, casting a judicial optic at
the clouds above him, "it may save

Away up on the high mesa above The

" a curve in the gathering twilight, sang
'her power song exultantly on the

brakes screeching in protest, to a pant

"They ought to . put a railing along

dicially, as he peered into the yawning

WVTOTJ are very quiet. Addle.
X What is the matter?"
Mrs. Hollingshead's question roused
Adelaide to a sense of her duty. She
answered cheerfully.,;
"Was I quiet, dear?" I was just

"Certainly not. everything andevery-

"Where are the children?"
"Downstairs taking their coffee, with
' their father." ' '
"Ask them all to come up here and
" see me for a few minutes," wras th
command. "I have had all the dinner
. I want"
Adelaide rang for Estelle and gave
( her the message. When, five minutes

out at the falling snow. His father

"Pat has gone downstairs for the nap

marked as Adelaide glanced about the
room, "Dad told her l, he would sit
with mother for awhile then she can
take chars ' the latter cart of the
t afternoon. . So you may as well . go
over home. I will drive you there,"
he added, dropping his voice so that
hja father could Dot bear the offer. ,
But Henry Hollingshead spoke at the
earn moment "I win phone for a taxi

"It wouldn't make much difference if

"You'd never know whether there was

"If anybody does gl over," rr. Paer
said reflectively as the car rolled on
across the bridge, i "It'll be cheap

"Cheap?"- the Judge said e-uestion-ingiy,
"I'd have to hear the evidence
before rendering a decision ' on that
point" j y -
"Yes, cheap," T. Paer persisted. "Itd
be so donggoned far Idown no under
taker could, find ' the 1 remains."
"That is a disputable presumption."
the judge ruled. "You couldn't escape

gustedly as they ploughed through the
village street, "why they named this
town Spray, but now I Know."
"Why?" Phil grunted laconically as
he fought wlth bis studding machine.
"Because," T. Paer replied, "when
it rains up here the water bounces up
like you'd turned a fire hose on a con.
crete walk." N
"This isn't anything, Doc -Unvtlle.
interrupted optimistically, "you ought
to see it rain down in Jamaica.-
"We're clear past Jamaica," T. Paer
reminded the speaker.-"We'd followed
you clear over to Panama before we
left Arlington." i -
"You skipped a lap or two," Ed cor
rected. "The Doc was !in Ceylon Just as.
we pulled out of Condon."
"I guess I muata rone to sleep back
there where that smooth' stretch of road
was," T. Paer apologised, "would you

"Make you own entertainment," Doc
Liaville answered, "I've gone around
the world and caught up with you."
"You sports quit your crabbing and
hold on," T. Paer suggested, "there's
a slick place ahead.';
"By golly." T. Paer exclaimed,

"Tell us," they all chorused. "Let us
in on the secret can't you?" -
- "Any fellah that'd start cannin this
mud 'nd sellin' it for axle grease'd
make his' fortune, !T. Paer argued.
"It's slicker'n any grease I ever saw.
"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

mother urged. " j
"She will," was the confident asser
tion. "And now. Miss Brown, you

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

Patty and I must be getting off

"Sh wants m to ask you to get home

is a selfish little thing. I am sorry
she spoke as she did this noon. It
was rather nasty of her."

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
