PIVOTS' EIGHT MEPFOTtD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.

Brought up to take . marriage teriouslu, Kitty can't ottiutt lierttlf to (iar't con- ttant round of good timet, to hit tack of anv retuoiitlbitily about finding a fob. tihe hat been ttav ing with Oar and hit father and mother, but hat begged tor an apartment whero the and (tar could be alone.

David freia hat had n die agreement ctth hit family, and un tterttandt Mr. Freu't domination at Oar. He taket Kitty to florcat Tatier, whom he callt a "doctor of ttult." Kitty drrailt the Inter view, but tcantt Dorcat' advice, ' Chapter 15 SYMPATHY AND A TOOTBRU8H "IfURRY I have tamaloi . laft!" It was a throaty, low, level voice. ..... . -, .- - In her ihrlnklog, Kitty had Imag ined herself baring the unhappy de tails of her story to a mndterful Wo mani calloused by social service, and here in the lighted doorway stood a girl no larger than herself, no older at first glance, In a man's straight-lined' flannel dressing robe and soft heelless leather slippers on bare feet. "''avowed I wasn't going-to let .David saw the distress In Kitty's face. inyoni In tonight," she was saying when she saw Kitty. , . !"It's Mrs. Garfield," - David ex plained. ' ' , - Dorcat Ought Kitty's elbow and irew her Into the room. "I'm glad to know you." Her tono made Kitty feel that, she was glad! "You'll eat sllh'me, won't you? You've had din erf 'Well, some coffee, anyway. David can tell you that my coffee it lust a. little better than the best ever made! . David chairs and things." It was a long room of soft light and eolor and Inviting comfort. The meal of tamales was spread at otto corner of an old refectory table set In an alcove. Close to it was a chest of the same fine old polished wood; from shelves hanging over it David was taking down cups as Dorcas di rected. And Into the cups, delicate old Spode vilpa over which at any other time Kitty might have won dered, Dorcat poured coffee from a squatty silver coffee pot so like Grandmother Brandon's coffee pot at home that Kitty had an Irresist ible desire to put out her hand and caress It. A great relief had lightened the terror which had gripped her below stairs. She wished she could give David some sign to tell him that she liked Dorcas. It was Just that, at once. Wondering that this could bo so she appraised Dorcas, a little shyly. From all claims of prettl ness Dv cas iell short, tor her nose was too broad, her mouth too wide, her body waa curveless and flat like a boy's, her shoulders square and lean. But Kitty did not single out any such features: she was trying to put Into lieflnltlon the unaffect edness of the other, the torthrlght nets that was 'smooth-edged and friendly, the directness of speech and manner that won Inslsnt liking. ' Dorcas had made no apologies for her dress, and the flannel robe seen In a fuller light was faded from much washing and ragged ubout tho ruffs. And she had shown no curios ity over the unusiiitlu of Kilty's coming, with' David, at thlii hour. .When..lho finished their, coffee abe told David to build up a fire. "We'll clear tliwie dishes, out of the wy." And Kilty was henrtened by the' sharing of that task, working elbow to elhow.wtth Dqrcts In th limited space before the tiny sink. i His fire kindled, David had drawn BILVERTON, Of.. April Sfi.

David sat down on a cushion on the floor, his long legs drawn to his chin, Just as he had sat la his father's library. "I call this bliss now let the world go by." And Dorcas stretched her small, slippered feet toward the blaze. "It's been a stupid day, David." But she said It gayly, as If its stupldness only made this moment of ease the more pleas ant. "Carruthers was on his head, all day.- Raging. I spent three hours with that Austrian singer what's-her-name ' and got about enough out of it to fill three lines she's that Sort." 1 ' "Dorcss'does the special features for the Timet," David explained to Kitty. ..'.;'. : '. "Humph he makes It sound like something,". Dorcas retorted. "I'm supposed to be a' . human - ferret." Then Biuidenly she sat alert. "But, oh, David Emll Schelllng's got contract with WZAW. He's tearful, he's so happy. Seven weeks Stan said a lot of nice things about hli audition. He'll get soma pupil now." "He't off your hands,". David pul In. . ; ; ' . . "Not at all. I've told him he ma; tise th front roAm downstairs. Mrs Drlnkwater's going back to he home town she's going to open I beauty parlor there." There was evidently much tunny about Mrs. Drlnkwater's venture. David and Dorcas talked It over and laughed over It. And Kitty, not knowing what they were talking about, yielded to the cheer of the Are, to the apartness of this room. Now she was more aware of the room Itself, of the fine lines of the old secretary against the further Wall, the prints hanging on each side of It, the old silver candlesticks on the narrow mantel over the lire- place. A curious home for this girl in the old flaunel robe and yet she seemed not incongruous in It. ' j A doctor of souls David had called Dorcas Taber that. This Kmll Schelllng, -Mrs. Drlnkwnter had she doctored thorn f David! David seemed different n6w, young erthere was a more vital look about him. Herself Her Wander ing thoughts' came sharply up against the fact that she had been brought here for doctoring. . David saw the distress in her face, Interpreted the Involuntary move ment of her hand toward him. He stopped abruptly halt-way In a'care- less retort to something Dorcas had said. ' 'I suppose you've guessed,' Dor cas, thst we've come to you for ad vice. Kitty's declared an ultima tum. It needs some thinking out." Dorcas meroly Inclined her head. But when David started to speak she stopped him. "Suppose you run along home, David. Kitty and I can get things stralghter It you leave us alone." To Kitty: "You'll stay with me tonight! I've everything you'll want even to a toothbrush." David glanced questlonlngly at Kitty and Kitty rondrmed his dis missal with a little smile Intended to show him that she was not afraid, now. It was easier to tell Dorcaa than It had been to tell David there was In her listening a quality of under standing that helped Kitty over the things she could not say. And when she had finished Dor cas did not answer for a few mo ments, as It she wore welghlnt what Klliy hsd told her.
