Grace Draper did not die. Thank to the assisduous care of Dr. Pettfi and the two trained nurses Dicky had provided she gradually struggled up from ' the "Yalley of the shadow ot death" In which she had lain to con- vaiescence. , As soon as she was able to travel she went to the home of the relative in the country whom she had visited in the summer. One of the nurses went with her. to see that she' was set- Last Day j r ...... . y , ""r "-itv- v. "HAYAKAWA" "TEMPLE OF DUSK" YE LIBERTY tied comfortably, and upon returning reported that she was getting strong fast, and in a month or two more would be her usual self again. Neither Dicky nor I had seen her before she .left. Indeed, Dicky apt Feared to have taken an uncontrolla ble aversion to the girl since her at tempt to kill him and herself and dis liked even hearing her name men tioned. As for me, I had a positive dread of ever looking into the girl's beautiful false face again. It was Lillian who made all the necessary arrangements both for the girl's stay in her own home and her transfer to the country. I But between the time of my mother-in-law's inopportune arrival at our house in Marvin and the departure of Grace .Draper from Lillian's home lay an interval of a fortnight in which, what we all considered the mi raculous,; happened. My mother-in-alw grew; to like Lillian Underwood. For thf first three or four days af ter the wjtimatum which il had "given her thati she should ; respect our guests if l she staid in our house she was like ;a sulky child. She kept to her room, affecting fatigue, and de manding that her meals be carried up to her by Katie. ' ; 1 ; Of course. Lillian and Harry want-. . hesitated and smiled a bit "I ed to go away at once, but Dicky and J not think she dislikes me any I overruled them. I was- resolved to ( more." m " Dicky had gone to the city. " It was Katie's afternoon off i and she . and Jim, who, had becomea regular call er at our; kitchen door had gone away together. . . Mother Graham was still sulking In her room, and Lillian was busy in Dicky's Improvised studio with some drawings and jingles which were rush order. ' ' - Thefday was a wonderful autumn one, and 1 felt the need of a walk. "I think I'll rnn down to the vil lage.'! I said to Lillian." !'This is the day the candy kitchen makes up the fresh toasted xnarshmallows. . I think we could use some don't you?" "Lovely," agreed Lillian, enthus iastically. "A Slight Heart Attack.. i ; . . . , "I don't think Mother Graham will 'come out of her room while 1 am gone," I went on. "'Just keep an eye out for her if she should need you." "She'd probably bite me if I of fered her any assistance." returned Lillian, laughing, "but I'll look out for her." But when I came back with the marshmallows. after a longer walk than I had intended, I fonnd Lillian sitting beside my mother-in-law's bedside, watching her, as she slept- When she saw me she put her finger to her lips and stole softly out into the hall. She had a slight heart attack while you were gone and I was fortu nate enough to know, just what to do for her. It was not serious at all. She is perfectly all right now and see the thine throngh., I felt that if? my mother-in-law did not yield her prejudices at this time j she never would, and tha I would simply have to go through the same, thing over again -later.

"Everything will come out all right now." c During the rest of the Underwood's stay it seemed as 'if "my words had (Qoitie-trtteJ The ice once broken, my mother-in-law's heart thawed percep tibly toward Lillian. . . Dy the time . the day came when Harry and Lillian left na to go back to - their apartment the elder Mrs. Graham thad so far gotten over her prejudices as to bid Lillian a reluct- ant farewell and express a sincere wish that 1 she might soon see her again, v ' . . : Toward " "Harry v Underwood mi hidther-ln-law's demeanor remained rigid! 'She treated him with formal, icy politeness which lrltated Dicky, but appeared greatly to amuse Mr. Underwood, He took delight In pay ing her the most elaborate atten tions, laying fresh nosegays of flow ers at her plate at each meal.' If he had been a. lover beseiging a beauti ful, girl's heart he could not have been more attentive-, while he was ab. 'olutely impervious to all the chilling rebuffs she gave him. . , . T think that, the touch of malice which is always a part of this man's humor was gratified by the frigid annoyance which the elder Mrs. Gra ham exhibited, toward his attentions. At-any rate, he kept them up until the very hour of his departure. ' . If was when he. happened to bo alone with, me oa the veranda a few moments before the coming. of the taxi which was to bear them to their homeward train that he gave me the real, explanation of his conduct.

"Don't forget you owe me a kiss.' he said, with teasing maliciousness, referring to the time when he had threatened to "kiss me under water." "Don't you think you had better give in to me now?", - Dicky's step in the hail prevented Liny rebuking him as I wished. 1 told myself that, of course, his persistent reference to that kiss was simply on of mockery and I also admitted to myself that as much as I loved Lil lian I was glad that her husband was to be no longer a guest In our house (To be continue!.)
