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

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

two chairs up to It.- Dorcas pushed
Kilty into one and took the other.
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.
