"Bring it here.? I turned to tbje reporters wkh a banal attempt at facetioushess. "I sometimes think my son la destined for the career of a - junk. man for ; he; is : perpet- ually bringing me torn things to mend." r j : ; A sharp little cry J from Junior, and the sound of a fall .interrupt ed me. - I turned , to J find . mm sprawling on the floor, unhurt, but with the fragments . of the photograph strewn upon - the ground. And beside him, stoop ing over him, rs-ising jhim to his feet was the hateful figure of Mr. M. Edonard Smythe. ; An Unexpected interruption, ,. , , j . , ' I - t: 1 knew as well as if I had seen him do it, that in some ? furtive; cunning manner that young mail had tripped the little! chap, and that in another second or two under pretense of returning the torn photograph, he would hav seen it and the bizarrej inscription upon it. 1 knew only too well that his version of the incident would be in print were he permitted to write it that he would depict me as having torn the photograph and thrown it away in: a rage. He would even bring my baby boy; and his finding of the fragments Into the story.

Something which must have seem ed to him all 'flashing eyes, 'fly ing hair and whirlwind arms, but whieh r reeognited as Katie, pushed" him o one side so effici ently that hefat down hard upon the polished tyoor . "Please Pardon " "You olds bunch of soup greens!" she thrilled, "you .trip oop my babee, t feex you. Coom babee, coom .to' Katie. She feex your plcher." s . With incredible swiftness and deftness she 'fathered up the pieces of photograph with br left hand, lifted 'Junior with? her strong right arm! and bore him triumphantly ouUof the room. As she disappeared. Lillian strolled negligently through the door, and I realized whose was the quick wit which had seatf Katie into the room wkh her program of devas tation for youngs Mr. Smythe. With a look of malevolence in his ferret eyes, that yoath fwas scrambling to his feet. I Caught a -quick, flashing- look ; between Miss Car gill and Mr. Rickett, and guessed that they were deeply grieved over the predicament of their colleague. , But I also knew that their keen eyes and trained perceptions, had; not missed, the meaning of the picture incident, and I cast about' for something with which to ward off possible questions concerning it or at least to gain time to think an answer OUt. j : .. . : ! I felt about as much like apol ogizing to young Mr. Smythe for Katie's behavior as I would have enjoyed inviting ah educated hy ena to tea, but I .forced myself to turn to him with a deprecatory smile. , 1 1 : "Please pardon the impetuous ness of my maid, Mr. Smythe," 1 said suavely. "She is devoted to the little hoy. and given to the most exaggerated notions concern ing him. And when she saw him; fall so unexpectedly, for he is un usually sure-footed, she must have seized upon the absurd notion that you had tripped him.' s I raised my eyelids suddenly as I finished, and looked at j hinj steadily as I used t look at un ruly ' boys in myj school classes. And though he returned the stare, boldly and j his shoulders awag H HR ; by.Mr. RushligfcPro- gerel insolently yet thei truculent air "he had put oil when .
