David. , Chapter 89 ' HB'B MINE" "CHE didn't bar Mm to call 3 you" Miss Blxby mumbled. Kitty puahsd ber aside; she caught up a negligee ana threw It over ber shoulders as ahe ran to Gar'i room. To ber agonized senses It teemed as It there was a crowd around Gar's bed, the night nurse, two Internes she pushed them savagely out ot her way. How dared they stand so between ber and Gar? Miss Blxby cam up behind ber, put shaking bands os ber to draw her back. "There wasn't a minute, Mrs. rrewl He just went to sleep like like he Is now." "Ton mean?'' The words came hrllly, unbelievingly. "It was embolus, Mrs. Frew. It happens, sometimes " "You'd better come away, Mrs. rrew." Kitty put out her hands. "Go to, all ot you. I'm I'm all right. David waited for Kltty'a control to break. th, go, please He'a mint, I tell youl" On an afternoon four months later Ketchum Street had baked under th August heat. But In late after noon a little breet sprang up to bring a saving freshness to the heavy air. It stirred th curtains at Dorcat Taber'a open windows. Kitty lifted th thadea which the bad drawn against the merciless aun. It was six o'clock, Dorcas would be horn soon. Supper was ready iced tea In the big glass pitcher, fragrant with mint, a big feowl ot green talad, thin slices of chicken. - Bh set a table close to th win dows where they could feel th little (trees. Thru placet David would eome. Perhaps he'd bad torn word from hit publishers. When she beard a tep on the stairs she ran to open th door. "David, have you heard I" He laughed at her eagerness. He drew a long breath. "Say, this Is cool here I" "But, David, hav yon heardt" He took a yellow slip ot paper from his pocket and put It In her Band. " 'Little Lady It all that wt ei Keted. W ar In luck." 8h read telegram aloud. "Oh. David, I'm ao gladt But I knew It wat good." "Well, that'a that What have you been doing to-dayT" He was regarding her with close anxiety. Her face, thinner now, was colorless, her eyes, with their sober, : hurt look, seemed wider, deeper aet and th long lashes mad little ahadowa against tbe transparency ot ber cheeks. Her steady smile tahhed David's heart. . "Ob, I'm fine! I've ttayed In to day and It hasn't been bad hore at all. I've been very busy." She nodded toward a sewing basket. ' Kitty had been living In the house on Ketchum Street since that day In April, when, bewildered, her heart a dead thing, she had put ber hand In David s. "Take me away." The heavy fragrance ot (lowers had tilled th empty rooms ot the Frew house. Jones had been moving things In the drawing-room.

Dorcas nail given her ber own room, usirvg another room on the floor (or herself. "I'm all right!" Kitty bad said, bravely. "Just tell me something to do." And Dorcas had found small tasks for her. "If you'll get my scrap book Into shape you'll save my sanity." She'd dumped an accumu lation ot clippings Into Kitty's empty bands. Kitty had refused David's urging to go back to Brldgewater. "Oh, no, David." She never talked ot Car; what of longing and sorrow end loneli ness she suffered she bid behind her steady smile, ber sober, hurt eyes. The Frew bouse was closed. Mra. Frew, after weeks ot prostration, had gone to California, taking Miss Blxby with her. Dalton Frew was living at his club. Carol and Paul Somerset were occupying the rooms over the garage on Elm wood Ter race. David had told Kitty all this but she had listened Indifferently as It those people of whom he spoke were strangers to her. She never thought of ber brief resentment against Dorcas, or of what had been Its cause; 11 she hal thought ot It she would have put t with tbe things that did not mattei All these weeks David bad watched her with deep concern. He'd seen her grow thinner, paler "If I could reach her" he'd think, torn himself, suffering toi her. Now he helped her put the finish ing touches to th supper. "I saw Dorcas at the Times once. She said she might be a little late." He went t the window and stood there, his back to her. "I bad a long talk with Dad, to-day, Kitty. He's terribly low. He's had a letter from Mra. Frew. She's not com ing back here. "I think It would make blm happy Kitty, be wanta you to take an allowance. ' It'a In the bank, any way. In your name. It's yours, by all rlgbta. Kitty, there's a Job tor youl" She did not answer for a moment; when the spoke It was In a slow voice. "I'm torry for him. I'm terribly sorry, David. I'm not angry at anyone, why should 1 bo? I'm not angry at ber, I had Gar In the end." It wat tbe first time, of her own accord, ah had spoken of Gar. He waited for her control to break. But she wont on steadily; "What can I do, David!"' "He hatea It, cooped np at the club. He'a frightfully worn. I waa thinking, Kitty I wish the two ol you would go out to the little house tor a few weeks. I think It would set Dad up wonderfully. Mrs. Dundy't daughter could com over to help you. I'll run out now and then Just to sue how you're getting on. There's another thing 1 saw Carol to-day. Things are going very badly r!th .ier and Somerset I mean money. Would It be too big a family?" Ha turned toward her anxiously. The tears were streaming down Kitty's cheeks. Behind them her eyes glowed, dark, deep with feel ing. She put her face against hit arm. "Oh. David, you're so kind!" He stiffened himself against the desire to take her In his arms. His mouth set sternly though In his eyes lay a great tendorness. ' (Copisrteat. Jane Abbott) Kitty p'ans ntw tntsrprltt. In th ntKt Instillmtnt. and sudden succstt chanors David.
