CHAPTER NO. 377
THE WAY MOTHER GRAHAM
BALKED HER OWN PlaAN
Mother Graham llkn nkanv
6ns . past middle-are. 1 wakens
early In. the morning and finds it
impossible to go to sleep again.
It. is her almost Invariable cus
tom to knock opon'mjr door when
ho rises regardless pf bny own
rogram tor the day, so I was not
. surprised to meet her In the upper
hall , of the ; Ticer ' farmhouse,
-when dressed and ready for my
trip to i meet Robert Sarrarin I
tamo out of my room. ; Her eye
Irows went up in astonishment."
j "What wakened you?, she de
manded cynically. I loiig ago
learned that she resents any . one
waking before she does. . Then her
ever-present worry over her Idol
ized grandson seized her. j
"Richard Second! Is he all
right?" : : Her voice quavered, and
her eyes betrayed her anxiety, j '
"Absolutely. He iasnt moved
all night." I assured her hast
ily. '"But I was just coming for
you. Will you; please staj with
him till he wakens, and then take
care of him? f I will come op
while you have ,J your breakfast,
or would you prefer to go down
now?" 4 j , -. ;; j;
Dicky to the Rescue.
i - . I . - Y
Now it is my mother-in-lawa
dearest pleasure, her most absorb
ing occupation,! to tae care j of
Junior, but she does not, like, to
have any one prescribe her duties.
Especially does she resent - any
apparent slicker i&aternalism on
my part, and In my haste I had
forgotten to give her any explan
ation ot my request, and unpard
onable omission from her stand
point, j
"Oh what are you going to do,"
she demanded tartly -"take the
car out again?" ' , ;
-. L explained diplomatically, apol
ogizlng for not telling her the
night before.' I
"I was so excited over Junior
that It, slipped my mind." f
"It didn't slip your mind so
completely but that you told Rich
ard, did it?" she queried acidly.
"I had to," I defended myself."
"I had to. tell hfm to get over
here at 7 to help you with Jud
ior." - -. . !! '
She stiffened perceptibly, and
I saw that I had struck the wrong
note.
'When-. I" heed any help with
Richard Second I'll let you1 know,"
I she said haughtily. : "There was
no need of getting that poor hoy
out of his bed simply because you
have to get Robert Savarin from
the station to the hospital. What's
the matter with the taxi service
in Southampton? Has it broken
down, that you are compelled to
turn your car into a jitney?'
I found myself equally divided
between the desire to laugh and
the impufse to frown, wondered
how best to answer her, and was
rescued from my dilema by the
appearance of Dicky, fresh sha
ven and smiling. 1 r ;
" 'Lo, Madge! Good morning
Mother!" he sang out cheerily.
"How's Junior?"
'H-sh!" Mother Graham and I
sibilated together. ,
'He had a splendid night, and
he's still asleep," I explained.
"I'll consider myself kicked
downstairs," he said with gay
conlriteness, and I saw that he
was in one of his effervescing
moods. "Gee! It's one tangerine
of a morning.- You'll have a dan
dy drive, Madge. Is breakfast
ready?",; 4 - -j
A Suggestion. - ' . -i "
"Of course, it's none of my af
fair," Mother Graham's voice
frostily , consigned herself -1 o . the
nethermost depths of Tnartyddm
"But it strikes me that It would
be slightly jnore fitting -and prop
er if Richard should meet Robert
Savarin provided he has to be
met, which I doubt, is why he can't
find" the" hospital by himself 'I
can't for the world see he's an
able-bodied man, with all of his
five sense intact, or did have 'em
the last time I heard pi him.
And then Margaret could stay at
home where she belongs, , with
Richard Second." pv
"Danzle!"
An imperative little voice float
ed' through the door. " Junior se
cure in- the ; knowledge that his
grandmother Is his abject slave,
calls her to ihim -whenever he
hears her voice. ' I had hard work
to subdue a delighted chuckle at
my mother-in-law's face. ; She
unconsciously .had raised her voice
while giving ; utterance to her lit
tle tirade, and now faced the real
ization - that .she and ' she alone
had wakened him from the rest
ful sleep we were all trying to pro
longs ;' - ' - V-r "
"Yes,, grandma's lamb," . she
called, and then turned to us with
her hand on the doorknob.. , ,
"I don't know . any reason in
the world why you both shouldn't
go." she said, the ght of com
bat Etill in her eyes. . "You heard.
Richard second can me just now,
and I certainly don't need either
of you with him. Go down and
get your breakfasts, and then,
Margaret do you come up tend
stay with 'him while I get mine.

She ' stalked Into the room
whence Junior's voice was still
calling, and .. shut the door vehe
mently behind her. Dicky grin
ned widely at me. s
