I, was.. sping to cut them - np after I .had' pu the potatoes on to boil." i n I smothered the house wile; com raent that rose to -my lips concern ing the condition ot the potatoes by the time the beans were cooked, That she was abysmally ignorant of cooking lore,' I ' guessedj ;a!nd t tjuickly drew , on my . imagination for a ruse which would sate; I the dinner without hurting her ;f eel It's lucky you spoke of Iboit ingr." 1 1 said nonchalantly,! for I belittle yo"ui J, "ho. old dear. Cominsr to make . J!nre i I don't slip bichloride into potatoes?" 4 1 Bess Dean .looked up from Mrsi '."Jurkee's kitchen sink, where she was preparing Tegetables, her lips contorted in a mocking grim ace. It took all " my 'will power to laugh carelessly, hat I -accom plished. It. "I would never powers by imagining'anythlng so crude," I retorted. Then, with a glance at the gas-store, as yet mi lighted. r I brought the-tea-kettle to the sink. ; j; ' : "If ybull jpardon me, while I fill this," I said courteously. - She" moved 'out of my way a bit jerkily. I i " v -! . .".What's big Idea?" .she asked, her eyes narrowing. "Where's Mother Durkee?" : ; ; "The phrase .revealed to' me one reason tor; iaT ' little friend's dis like of j Bess . Dean. One of -the few feminine ; weaknesses of Her Fluf finess" is an aversion to . her real age being known, and those of us ,who - love her, "carefully humor her in - this respect. She isn't slUyh about It I think she loves the name of "Mother," from Alfred's lips, and from Leila's bnt fJl. for instance, as long and as f( intimate as our friendship has . qeen, never would dream or. pre ttying "Mother" to her name. I wondered If Bess Dean used' the appellation In speaking to her. "Mrs. Durkee is lying down," I said, stressing the title ever bo slightly. "She isn't feeling well, and -she commissioned 'me to get dinner for her.'; . "Does that mean that you pre fer to chef It alone, or would you like a scullion to assist you?" she asked with an impish grin. It was no part of my plan to have her leave before the evening ! was - over,. as In self-respect tshe Would bet compelled to do, .. i f I treated : her frigidly and .refused ' her assistance. And;that,.for the ; present, at least," she meant to ... ignore ' the circumstances of our last leave-taking f n the Catskills, 'bo humiliating to . her, I plainly iV r- saw. So I -showed my dislike, of i " . her . nto , the background, and J 'answered her sally in. kind. J "References, Gilt-Edged." : I "That depends , upon your re I j ferences, the wages you expect I-jand your behavior," I said, laugh' ing, and moving toward the gas " stove with, the filled tea-kettle, answered .promptly, - "Behavior, unexceptional-to unjaundiced eyes that's ' a- good , one, I think", she interjected Impersonally -with "a laugh at her own phraseology; "Wages well, let us .eay, the j smothering of. one's painful sense , of "duty and keeping one's. hands ' off-" . Her .tone, was the .essence of carefessnes, but Is knew that her rV words, particularly the last ones, were a direct challenge. I stif fened . Involuntarily as . I heard ' them, made , a pretence of f dif f iculty with the lighting of the : gas stove until I could -frame a . reply.' .. . . , . - , .v"lf a maid's behavior Is satis factory, I never cavil at her ,'' wages,' ! answered at last. "But ' -my birthplace Is next door to Iowa. . Have .you seen the snap beans? Mrs. Durkee said she had planned them for dinner." Bess Dean "Plays Up." ' Purposely I had given her the rhancA to assume as 1 had. that TJi the conversation had no undercur if rent of serious meaning, and she f nrnmnM nlflvAjl - nn tn mo ' Tint would have lorgotten that Mrs. Durkee wants i- scalloped potatoes" for dinner." -j.; h( .;lil IJY The edge in her voice was more pronounced this time.' ; ! :i .- i "Well, you'll have to engineer that Job! Tve eaten Mrs. j Dnr kee's, though, and I'll tell: the worl they're some high , mark to aim. at, even by so gifted d genius' as yourself." . ; j ; - (To Be Continued) SCHOOL REFORTS FltED more Election' results ake , received thursday Reports of the election of district-school board officials are be ing received steadily by the coun ty schol superintendent's office, with'13 districts heard from yes terday, i A total of 43 of the 143 boards have now held elections.
