Eagerly they In vited her Into their comparison of ex citing events, feeling sure that through Jerry Winston's Intimacy with Frank Bosley she would have many Interest ing details to contribute. But when ahe merely listened and added nothing, they were surprised. Incredulous, even resentful. From hour to hour further Items were unearthed, dragged Into the small community, and shared gener ously In sn Impromptu council of all tbe tenants. The Bosleys had not been popular; their downfall had therefore a satisfying element that lent peculiar piquancy to everybody's version. Blood was a-tlngle with keenest stimulation; the air was cloudy with exclamations. Nor was there any perceptible dimin ution the next day— or the next. And scarcely had the driveway gossip thinned a trifle when Mrs. Penfleld'e thoughts were given a vnstly different turn. Mr. Crashaw came to Interview her. He had seen Mrs. Weatherstone; he had seen the hangings. He offered Mrs. Penfield a hundred dollars In cash and a small block of stock In his laundry association In exchange for her formu la and a certain amount of supervision until Its use should he mastered In the various laundries of which he had charge. “It will mean," be told her, "about a thousand dollars a year— more, as the business grows— but you cun be as sured of that amount.” It seemed a fortune to Mrs. Pen- field. She had difficulty In tempering her Impetuous delight Into a seemly business attitude. To have a steady Income, aside from her nsual earnings, would mean a different Ufe for the children. After Mr. Crashaw had gone, she began to plan exactly what that life should he. For one thing, she would surely be Justified In giving up the management of The Custard Cup, which was rapidly precluding other duties.
