CHAPTER F43
THE REASON MADGE'S "BEST
LAID PLAN" WAS BEATEN .
Beneath the frothy ripples of
little Mrs. Durkee's apparently
pliable personality k runs a strong
fjriirrent of steady ; efficiency and,
Vpmmon sense. These qualities
. . . ' i .
uen surprise loose woa Know uer
only by the charming, inconsequ-
. . . . . -
nuai things she says anu , aoes,
nd who have heard the nickname
Her Fluff iness," which her tAh
Llfred affectionately calls her.
That she can be quick an J re-
)urceful in an emergency, I have
Jlmg known. "And I also have' ob-
' nerved that the; little woman, the
; jo ul of courteous kindliness and
Jospitality, can be unrelenting
nd stubborn in her dislike of any
He who thwarts the plans - of
t"ho.se she loves. She is the cley-
masking her displeasure when po-
icy of her. inherent fear of giving
pain sways her.
Knowing all this. I was not
urprised. to hear the honeyed ac-
fents with .which''? she addressed
less Dean. I smiled to myself at
he tiny sting which she planted
n her words for the girl's benefit.
Iiut if J had thought that the re
sourceful audacity of the Bayylew
ligh school teacher : would be
balked by Mrs. Durkee's. sugges-
ion of a dinner-tray for Alfred
Ki and Leila, upstairs because of Lef-
v la's turned ankle. I was speedily
Hi deceived. -
" "Ct trnraa ill mill nant t
w . . . . . . n . . . u.i m
at up therewith Leila." she car-
led, and she lifted! her-voice un-
istakably for the' benefit ot:ithe
wo ' upstairs, I was sure. "For
hat matter, we all will. I'll tell
ou what, Mother Durkee. We'll
ust serve; dinner upstairs.' I'm the
est little omnibus in the business.
it will be a scrumptious lark!"
(What' Madge Resolved. ,
As I mounted the stairs I made
the. grim little resolve, that if Le-
ia's injury were enough to keep
her upstairs, she should not be
disturbed by. Bess Dean's, chatter.
(That little Mrs. Durkee would do
lier .Machiavellan best t'o aid me I
was sure, and Jt waswith fierce
jly protective feeling- that I enter
ed Lelia's wide-open door.
Alfred had deposited her upon
the chaise longue and was taking:
off her hat and coat. Lelia look
ed at me' with a wry little smile
as I dropped to my knees beside
her and began removing her shoes.
. "I don't believe this Is going to
rThe bad at all. "she said, and .1
Dean's audacious proposal, " and
would eat -hejr dinner-downstairs,
no matter Tiror badly her ankle
was Injured. " Ar';. I f :f
But when. I had taken off her
shoe , and- stocking, and. with fin
gers trained by many household
accidents, had run lightly over the
swelling,-I agreed with Lelia's
optimistic diagnosis. 1 "
"How's the Foot?" !
"I'll telephone-for the doctor,"
Alfred said, anxiously, as he toss
ed Leila's hat and coat with mas
culine ruthlessness into a heap on
the bed. j
"No please,'"' Lelia i" implored,
1 $ ...
and I seconded her protest.
"I'm sure that . is unnecessary,
Alfred," I said ' decidedly. "This
isn't a M sprain at ! all, and it
won't even be painful when I get
it bandaged. Suppose you mas-
sage her ankle while I' get ;h'ot
water and bandages." -1
. "Can't v I get the5 1 things?' he
asked with ready courtesy.
"No. I'll be quicker, and as an
ex-military man you ought to be
a first aid of ? the most -skilful
kind." . ; '
j I hurried out of the room as I
finished4 speaking. I did not in
tend that he should g6 . roaming
around the house In search of the
things ,1 wanted," with' the practi
cal certainty of encountering Bess
Dean. She was perfectlyr;apable
of accompanying him back to Le
ila's room and harrowing my ner
vous little friend's nerves with
her officioTisness '-and protesta
tions of" sympathy! '". j-"
.. I tested the ater'from the hot
water trap in the bathroom, found
it steaming hot, and rejoiced that
I did not have to make a trip to
the kitchen Thanks to Mrs. Dur
kee's careful housewifery, I found
liniment, ' gauze "and bandages in
the medicine cabinet without los
ing any time in-the search. And I
lost no time In returning tur Lelia's
room With a basin of hot water
and kit the other things I needed
arranged upon a big- tray which
careful Mrs. Durkee always keeps
in the bathroom t for j emergency
use. ... Then,- with Alfred's aid, I
bathed,' massaged and : bound up
the ankle; finished just as Bess
Dean appeared at the door of the
room. . i ; I
"How's the foot!"j she asked
casually, and then turned to Al
fred: "Alf. will yon help me
bring a table up here?"

reports Sim Phillips, head of the
local employment bureau.
' Yesterday 52 men were placed,
but 200 calls- went unanswered.
As yet' the hot weather has done
but little damage to the fruit
crop, but if It should continue,
. however, the remainder of the
crop will be a total t loss.
The Portland bureau has been

of the men sent to Salem by the
Portland office to help with the
hay' crop have returned to Port
land; as they were inexperienced
