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."
