Frew hat oiven Oar money, to he would not pet a fob. Kittu reeente this dependence, and rune away to remnln (III Gar will support Iter. Car's half-hrother David, estranged tram the family, advises her. Chapter 18 "I'LL TAKE THE NIGHT TRAIN" MRS. FREW turned to her mlr rr and carefully put Into place a lock of hair that bad escaped Cora's attention. ' "Mrs. Garfield has been home lick, doubtless. There la no need (or your concern, Pound. She may have gone to her home for a little rlslt, and Gar knows, of course." Pound shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. "She didn't go home, madam. She went to Mr. David's. I gave the addreaa to the driver." Mrs. Frew's astonishment at that was more than she could control. Rer voice took a higher note. ' "But, Pound, you are mistaken! Kitty Mrs. Garfield never has met David!" Poor Pound, he had lived to sixty-two In service, obedient to the slightest command. Mrs. Frew's statement commanded. He obeyed. "She knows him, madam. She met blm here. ;Mr, David comes In to see his mother. He moved to get out of bed and then dropped back on his pillow. "God, what a head! Guess I was tight last night Glad Kit wasn't there" Then be remembered, with ud den clarity, Just how Kitty had looked. She'd said something about going away. A vague uneasiness took hold of him. He got up bastl ly and looked about for a robe of some sort; be must find Kitty at once. And, tbere being no robe, he wrapped a blue silk coverlet around his underclothes. In which be had slept, and went, two steps at a time up the stairs to his room. : , Three minutes later be burst Into his mother's room, the blue cover let still dragging at bis heels, bis face white, bis eyes dark with hor ror. She had expected he would come like this. She met him halfway from the dooi, and put steadying bands on his shoulders. "I know, dear boy." Her voice waa deep with compassion, tenderness. "She said she was going bnt 1 didn't think she meant It. She was terribly mad, mother! I guess I've been rotten. I guess maybe I acted rotten last night 1 can't remem. ber " "Calm yourself, Gar. Kitty has gone home. Pound put her In a taxi." . Oar burst Into his mother's room, his sometimes, to have dinner with his father." He waited, his kindly wrinkled face marked with distress. He was betraying Mr. David! Mrs. Frew appeared to be weigh' .; Ing what he had said. Except that ber mouth was drawn Into a thin hard line she gave no sign of any emotion. After a moment she walked to a desk In the corner of her room and took from It a check book. She filled In one of the blank - sheets, unhurriedly, blotting It carefully. "This covers your wages for the rest of the month. Pound. You may go this morning. And under the circumstances, Into which I do ot think we need go, you can ex pect so referencea from me, ot course," For a moment Pound's old body stiffened under a wave ot anger. He opened his llpa to speak, then closed them. He bowed his bead, took the piece ot paper and with - drew, ahuttlng the door carefully, oftly behind him. Mrs. Frew stood quite still look ing fixedly at the closed door. Her brain was working with a cold, hard precision that kept In check her mounting triumph. Cora came back to finish the work Pound had Interrupted. When Mrs. Frew waa dressed she told Cora to summon Mr. Gar. ' "He slept In the blue room last light. Madam. I didn't know I thought Miss Carol'd brought home a guost and I knocked" "Walt, Cora, before you call Mr. Gar. Get the Wlckser Placement Agency on the telephone, t have dismissed Pound." Gar was awake, heavy-eyed, when Cora delivered her message throuf c an Inch of open door. He was try ing to collect Just why he was here, In the blue room. His head ached probably the stuff Burkett bad gotten for them last night had been rotten. There was something he'd planned to do first thing thla morn ing, Oh. yes. Kit She'd been sore last night He had to make up with her. Well, he'd been sore, too, the way sho'd Jumped on hlra. That was why he'd slept down here! But she must have worried, maybe thought something had happened to him He'd run upstairs before he went face white, his eyes dark with horroi "Last night? But she didn't hava any money" "She must have had some money, Gar, that you did not know she had." Gar remembered the money with which Kitty had bought ber dress she hadn't let him know she bad that. Perhaps she had had more that she'd hid away somewhere. Maxbe ahe had gone home. He dimly remembered her saying something about going home "I'll wire to Brldgewater. Fll take the night train." "Walt, son." Mrs. Frew sat down In a chair and motioned to him to draw one close to her. "You must not rush Into anything. You must think ot the future. Hasn't Kitty done a rather childish, undignified thing, going off like this? I cannot believe that ahe was Justified In any pique you are devoted to her. We have dona everything we could to make her happy here" "You've been wonderful, mother." "It you rush after her now, Gar, It Is certain that ahe will do It again. Walt and let Kitty see for herself how silly she Is acting. In a few days you'll have a letter from her begging you to forgive her for the dtatress ahe haa caused you. Then you can go to Brldgewater." Gar's face had brightened. He caught hla mother's handa and squeeted them boyishly. "You're the greatest mother a fellow ever had. The way you see things out." She smiled her gratitude tor his tribute. She left her handa In his. "1 hold my motherhood as my most sacred responsibility. I musl always be ready to help you, Gar. to think things ouL You must al ways know that. I never have told you what pain I felt over your hasty marriage. I've feared for Ita out come and I've prayed that It may bring you no unhapplnesa. I know you'll come to see as I saw at once that Kitty Is not our sort. "And It la for us to make her over, to teach her that our stand ards are a little different from those she haa known, to be patient with her when she makes mistakes, to help her."
