Kitty asked. "Oh, that' 1 what's been eouring rout'' He pushed her away, a little roughly. "I don't lea why you should complain you haven't a thlni to do except twirl your thumbs, and that ought to seem darn aoft to y;a after the way rou've worked." . "Gar! Oar!" Be paid no heed to her protest. Kitty faced a stranger. Fear squeeied the blood from her heart. She swayed a little where she stood.- He got up, upsetting his undrunk coffee. He threw off Us dressing gown and began to put on a collar and tie, scowling as he adjusted his t:o. "Trouble with you, Kit, Is that you're counted pennies so long that you think It's all there Is to living. Well, there's a lot more. I'll start working all right when I get ready, but I'm not ready yet. The Mother's satisfied, so I'm satisfied too. And that's that He thrust bis arms savagely Into bis coat aleeves. "I suppose you think It's a crime to play golf. I take It you don't care to go' out with me." And with that he flung himself out of the room. Kitty atood quite still, stunned, unbelieving. When she heard the sound ot Gar's car In tbe driveway under the window ahe said aloud "He's gone. He'a really gone." Pound came In and went away with the tray. 8he moved mechan ically about tbe room putting It to rights. Now and then she went to tbe window and stared, unseeing, out across the house-tops. They had quarreled or no, It hadn't been a quarrel. She had said nothing, just her 'Gar! Gar!" out ot her horror at his anger. What had put him In that mood? She re membered bis annoyance because he hsd not risen In time to see his mother before she went out. Mon ey He was broke, he had bor rowed from Red the night before. Of course he'd hate to borrow from Marge. Time and again Kitty hnd wished for an afternoon which ahe might devote to putting ber clothes In or der, reading, wrltlna letters, but Gar had not let her have one. Now she had It on her hands and was too distraught to use It. She . was lonely too; Gar's room gave her no sense ot security now. She bad at. overwhelming lotting to talk to some one, some one who would undentand, who might help her maybe laugh away her horror. Oar's mother It she could talk to ber. But on the very breath of that dealt Kitty sighed. Gar'a mother would listen iO no jrltlclsm of Oar; Gar had said she was satisfied. Kit ty thought of how often Gar was closeted with his mother In her of fice, her sanctum to which no one LABOR'S APPEAL WASHINGTON. April 18.

Kitty had not been In It Often, passing lta hut door, (he had felt a little wist ful. Oh, no she could not talk to Car' mother, now. Or to Carol Carol who treated her civilly enough, but always with a studied indifference that had made Gar laugh. "That's Carol don't mind her." Gar's father was as unapproach able as though he did not belong to this family. Whenover he met 'lttr be had repeated: "I hope you're happy here, my dear." But hia manner of saying It showed that he took It for granted that she waa happy. Pound of them all Pound waa the only one who was really friend ly, Pound, the old servant. She missed ber mother and her father she missed Phil Corey and Sally, everything, everything that bad been so jolly and so real, so simple. And missing It, she felt more lonely. She threw herself on the bed. She could cry now and sot dispel ber tears. At live o'clock she bathed and dressed, prolonging the process. Gar must surely come back for ber before dinner. But six o'clock came, halt-past six and brought no Gar Seven o'clock H any of the family were at home for dinner they would eat at seven o'clock. Kitty shrank from facing them without Gar, and yet to stay alone In this room any longer was Intolerable. She'd tell them that Oar waj de tained by his golf match. Perhaps they had been delayed In starting off. Foursomes took a long time over eighteen holes. Sbe had learned that much of golf, learned It by patient waiting. Or a new fear gripped ber; Gar might Uave had an accident, driving home too fast to get her. Of course he'd drive fast She ran down the stairs, thinking ot that, frightened. Below she found only Pound. "Has Mr. Gar telephoned, Pound? I'm waiting he's - been playing golf-" Gar bad not telephoned. She'd best eat dinner here and not wait. Pound advised. In a few minutes he would serve dinner. The family waa out "Pound, you don't think he'a had an accident?" Pound patted her arm. "Now don't worry, Mrs. Gar. That boy's just forgotten the time, playing his game. Don't you worry." Pound called her "Mrs. Gar" when there was no one In hearing. - Kitty wandered Irresolutely Into the drawing-room. But she did not sit down: she stood In the center of the room, tense, listening. Pound had not reassured her; no'.hlng could until Gar appeared. Po.hapa he'd never come; right at this very minute he might be lying some where, mangled, unconscious. And she had let him go away In anger. When she heard the outor door open she gave a sharp cry ot relief. It must be Gar! She ran out Into the hall. But there she faced a stranger, standing a little uncertain ly just within the door. With lightning awlftness Kitty took In his appearance, his slightly shabby clothes, his attitude ot un certainty. He was jo guest; the family were dining out He had come to tell her Fear aqueeied the blood from her heart. Shi swayed a little where she stood. fCoyrlat.
