"Hut," she added with the touch of malice which for all her good nature some times creeps into her conversa tion, "von nueht in V. pin. I whe's got her claws sharpened tor AI- fred." I ignored the allnsian to thA uneasiness which Dicky's accept ance of Rita Hrown'a studio had caused me. an uneasiness I knew my little friend bad suspected, al though she didn't know or Lil lian's arraignment of the girl to me, or of her anxiety that Dicky should not work in MIks Hrown's studio. A Great Relief. Lillian had made good her promise to offer Dicky her own studio, an offer which Dicky had promptly and gratefully accepted, though with wide-eyed amaze ment for Lillian had always held her studio as inviolate as an Eng & college man does bis ftudy hour. But, indeed, she had not used it in all the last weeks, hav ing put aside all work but the most press. ng in order to watcn beside Robert Savarin's sick bed. The work she was compelled to do she wrought at in her own li brary. I knew Lillian would share the distinct feeling of relief I exper ienced at hearing Mrs. Durkee's announcement that her son, Al 'red. and Rita llrown were inter ested in each other. My little neighbor was right. I was glad to know that the girl, who I Had seen but once, but whom I In stinctively disliked, "bad her claws sharpened" for anyooay but Dicky. I did not care, however, to have Mrs. Durkee suspect my re lief. "Let me see." I said, counting on my fingers with no hint that I had understood her allusion to my uneasiness concerning Rita Prown -"this s the first, second, third, fourth, fifth it's no; use, ! can't count or remember the girts lame kind of cars, you can be as sured that they know their value before buying the second, third, fourth and subsequent cars."

Ami whfrn I think of this Rita Borwn getting her clutches on my boy I wish he'd married any one 01 the others I used to dread." "No you don't," I said comfort mgly, although in reality I ad mitted the truth of her words. I could imagine few. women more ununited to Alfred Durkee than Rita Hrown. I may m.pjudge the gfrl, but I believe the words wire hood, motherhood, mean nothing real or sacred to her, and Altred Durkee, though apparently of as volatile a temperament as Dicky, yet Is a wholesome latl, who' ieal of a wife would be the idol ized mother of bin children. 1 tried to visualize Rita Brown as a mother, but Rave it up with a little shiver at the probable un happlness of any child who should ever cajl her by that sacred name, and turned to Mrs. Durkee. "You haven't told me yet what has led you to fear Rita Brown, ' I said. "She isn't a new acquain tance of Alf's. is she? They must have known each other for a long time." "They have, causually," Al fred's mother returned, "but it's only since Alf returned tnat they've been thrown together so much.
