"Everybody loves everybody around here. Run alone sow, dear, and get to your studying." Mary-Francis went as far at the door. "You'll remember that, won't you, Ann angel? If anything should happen, or anything. I mean. And you'll love me, too ? Ann repressed a sigh, refused to allow herself to shake her head. "Of course, Mary-Frauds. But don't be silly. What could happen?" "Like." aald Mary-Frances, "well like if I should flunk in my exams or anytning." "Xon aren't going to Dunk." "I mean it I should." She came back to Ann. "I'll kiss you goodby again, I guess. Will you and Ciety love me if I flunk?" "Dear, listen to me. You ar talk ing very foolishly. lon aren't going to fail in your examinations. But, if you should, that wouldn't make any difference in our love for you. We'd be aorry and very much disappointed, but we'd love you just the umi. Nothing you could do would make any difference in our love for you. But you must try hard, so that we can be proud of you as well at love you. You will, won't you?" "I expect," sighed Mary-Frances, that you'll all be proud of me some time. Oh yes I expect you'll be proud, all right, if that's what you want to be." "That's the way to talk, honey," Ann approved, ilut she returned to the dishpan with aome small worries concerning Mary-Frances. Of late she was ao odd. The little Hill girl seemed like a nice little girl, and Mr. and Mrs. Hill were fine sensible peo pleonly, Mary-FranceB had never U8ed to be so odd. Perhaps, during the summer, she and Cecily could en courage some new friendships for Mury-Francea. Hosalie tiptoed Into the kitchen. "He haa forgiven her," she said. "He has forgiven her fully and freely and from his heart. It was his desire that I should come and tell you." "That's good," said Ann briskly; far too briskly. "Ann," breathed Rosalie, as Mary Frances might have breathed it, "isn't he wonderful?" "Indeed he is," said Ann promptly, dutifully. "I was thinking, just now, as I sat beside him in his puin. We have been married almost 60 years. In all that time I have never found fault nor flaw. He baa always been upright, honest, generous, tender, loving, for giving, just. I could go on and on. There is no urn attribute that has to do with goodness that your Grand does not possess. My one wish for you dear girls is that when you marry and you will marry, of course, and soon, I hope you may find a man who is half aa good as your Grand. You'll never find a man aa good, be cause he is the best man that ever lived." "And that," Ann thought, a little awed in spite of herself, "is love. Rosalie believes every word she has said. Could I ever Jove anyone like that? Could Cissy? We couldn't. Why, I wonder? Why should Cissy and 1 have to be so different so dis illusioned? Is there something wrong with ua? Or ia love a game of soli taire, in which one haa to chenji to win?" "Apple sauce!" said Kennv Smith that afternoon, in Ann's quiet office. "Solitaire? My aunt's eye! Be your self, Ann. I'll tell you what it is, it's poker. Yeah, poker," he finished firmly. Poker," Ann reminded him, "is a man s game. "Women can piny," he grinned, "but most of 'em aren't so hot at it. They overbet their hands. They cheer when they get a good hand and holler when they get a bum one. They can't blutt mucn. They cant remember that four aces beats a full house. They'll discard a pair and druw a flush every time, and they'll bet a four flush as high as a good one. They throw away their openers. They hate to ante, 'mat a the trouble witn you, Ann. You won't ante. You have to get in the game before you can draw cards. Tou won't get in the game. You won't play. Now, listen, Ann . ." Ann did not listen, very attentively. She seldom listened to Kenny. She merely allowed him to rattle along and along, and so found a panacea for loneliness. It was after three o'clock. She was beginning to worry seriously about Cecily. All day she had been expebting a telephone call from her. but none had come. Surely the child wouldn't go home and dress without calling her. Surely the child wouldn't stay out all day in her hHthrobe and slippers. Surely the child 'That's all I want, Ann. I wouldn't ask for a thing on earth but to be good to you and mnke you happy. I want to buy things for you houses and cars and dinmonds and things. I want to take you places and watch my wife knock 'em dead. I want to see you wearing black velvet and dia monds, and white satin and pearls." (TO do oonunueo) ZjHIS CURIOUS WORLD mm utfT.'n If HI X-XW I juasL It UPEWODMS A iN3TH OF Bo FeeX.
