He ap proached Kitty quickly, concerned, for he had seen her face whiten, her hands go to her throat She shrank back from him. "Who who are you? What do you want" And then Pound appeared, smil ing. "Good evening, Mr. David. It's sice to see you. But your father has telephoned that he's left for New fork. You'il stay! Mrs. Gar, sere, will like your company. Din ner Is ready." "So you are Oar's wife?" David Frew laughed. "And you are David?" . And be cause he hadn't come to tell her that Gar was killed Kitty laughed, too. "Kitty. That name fits you rather neatly, Mrs. Gar," "It's really Katharine, though no one ever oalls me that." "Of course not, you're not big enough yet. Ton may grow Into It" "I'm quite grown up." "And wise and experienced, ot eourse " Kitty laughed at his teasing. She had laughed frequently during the eourse ot the dinner which Pound 'erred to them with as much care as though they were guests of state. She had eaten heartily, too. 8he bad felt at ease with David at once. PerhapB, she thought, real ising that ease, It was because she had not speculated on meeting blm. Through the yellow glow ot can dlelight over the table she observed him with Interest He was not like Gar, nor like his father. His face was thin, with high cheek-hones and a long Jaw; his eyes were deep est under heavy brows. His thick hair and his skin were of a weath ered brown that made his gray eyes almost colorless in contrast "He Isn't a bit nice looking," she ap praised, until he smiled. It wasn't Oar's quick, charming smile It was slow-coming, lingering, trans figuring, a thing to share. She gathered from what passed between David and Pound that be came infrequently tike this, to have dinner with his father, but only when he knew Mrs. Frew would not be at home. "I am an Intruder, you know," he had said to Kitty, lightly. "I'm hsre by Pound't grace. We con spire, the two ot us." And Kitty had seen the adoring look Pound bent upon David's shabby back. When they finished their dinner they went Into the library. Pound had kindled a small fire on the open hearth. "It's cheerful like," he explained. . "Does he think we need cheer?1 David laughed.

"Why you did It why you mar ried Gar." "Why, I wo " "Loved one another so very much, of course. Well, what are you go ing to do with blm, now that you have him?" Nor had Kitty answer for that, at once, and David finished dryly. "I guess the boy's got some good stuff In him if you're given halt a chance." "Of course." She had words now. "He has all sorts of plans. But he's going to begin In his father's office. We'll have a little home ot our own, then." "And just now Gar Is loafing, eh? Honeymooning?" "He's playing golf this afternoon I didn't expect him back to din ner." She spoke a little coldly. "An Ideal wife for a golfer." Then his smile vanished. He frowned Into the Are, holding to a long silence from which he spoke presently with a mocking tone. "Mrs. Frew has been very sweel to you, haBn't she?" "Oh, yes. She's been darling 'm hereby Pound's grace. We conspire, the two of us," David uld. Lots of mothers, caring for Gar at she doos, might not have forglvei me. I can understand that now But she's been very nice about It "She's allowed you to sit on th edge , of her throne. But she's lei you see that hers Is a prior claim ui Oar, hasn't she?" "I won't listen to you it you talk like that," Kitty answered spirit edly. David patted her hand. "Don't, then. But I'd like to see you stand square on your two little feet, as long as you've walked Into this thing. Now let's talk about you. I want to know about Brldgewater. Did you live by any chance In a nice friendly old house with a picket fence around It?" "Why, I did a very old house, and a very old fence and both need repairing most frightfully." 'a nice big kitchen that amelli very pleasantly of baking end family room with good, old, hon orablo things In It?" Laughing, she admitted to the good old possessions of her father's home, to their honorable shabbl ness. "I like a place like that," David said slowly. "A place that seems to put arms around you when you walk Into It I've got one out on a by-road In the country." "I'd love to see It," Kitty said softly. She bent a tender glance on David's head. There had been a lonely note in his voice that made her sorry tor him. And presently, with an eagerness born ot a loneliness deep In her own heart she was telilng him more about Brldgewater, ot Its gay etles, of Sally Withers who was her closest friend and of Phil who'd al ways been Just, like an older brother to her, ot the store and how hard her father worked there and of her mother. And David listened, smil ing, his grave, deep-set eyes fixed on her flushed, happy face. She told him ot the kindergarten class she had had the lost winter. "I loved working with the chil dren, they were such darlings." "You foolish kid," he commented. But he did not explain his pity and before Kitty could resent it hi sprang to his feet In mock alarm Copyright, Jan Abbott Does Qar get home Mfttyf Trouble threatens, tomorrow, Thomas Adjourns Hearing On Rates PORTLAND, Ore., Aptrl 18 (AP) Adjournment until May i was tak en Saturday in the Investigation ot Vie Oregon Ptibllo Utilities commis sioner Into affairs of the Norhwest ern Electric company for the purpose or forcing a lower rate schedule.
