A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
WOULDN'T we be happier If
rou began to fork and we
itarted a little home?" 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

ever went, uninvited. 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.
