sight-off my small son running

hie an unwelcome sight, I -would
have ' laughed scornfully. But

see the inscription upon it, But J
had reaij it before, and my onfy

one unfamiliar,' with it. M must
get the photograph away from
him, unobtrusively, with :no ap
parent desire to hide ! It) but as
speedily as . possible. ( i
"Yes. Mother will mend it," I
said with, careless indulgence.
"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

If I rushed to the 'picture in
stead of going directly; to 'my boy
I might as well advertise the fact
that it was something; I did not
wish seen. The thing seemed:

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

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.

boldly and j his shoulders awag H HR ; by.Mr. RushligfcPro-

But I did not underestimate the
arrows he still had -in bis quiver.
