Her untidy bulk was planted out side her son's door and her loud Tolc held every Indication of au thority. But she did not look u though she expected to be obeyed. .When the door remained contemp tuously shut, she changed to a whine. "Mark, It's not talr of you to go behavln' like this! It's not fair to m and It's not fair to Baba. She'll be hers directly last thing she Bald to ma last night was that she'd be round as usual. She'll talk about Thursday, the weddln' and one thing and another, and you can't expect ma to be the one to tell her you've postponed It again." "Be quiet," requested Mark's voice, so close to the key-hole that he gasped, startled. "And go away." She stood with her foolish mouth gaping. Then her heart-beats slowed and she made off down the stairs. Not till she reached the bottom did she reflect that It was beyond all reason to be frightened. What was Mark, a'(ter all, but her own child? Ha ought to be ashamed But she did not 'go up to that closed door again. She was pottering about In the 111 llt hall, muttering to herself, when then was a .step on, the porch. She lunged (drward, knocking the umbrella-stand out of Its niche, and opened the door to Barbara. "How Is Mark?" It was the nrst question asked by anyone- who came, to Kings .Barn. Invariably, Mrs. Lodely replied, In the vernacular of her youth "Oh, none so dusty I" To BsTbara Quentln, however, she said It with a differ ence. There was an evasion In JL "He's had a bad day!" Barbara'! bands went motionless amongst the fastenings of ber coat. ?My dear gel, I- haven't seen him since, you have! After you'd gone off with Farrell 'Armttage last night, I found the door shut and you know well enough- no power on earth'U make Mark open a door If he don't want toj And this mornln' he lay low without so much as a cup of cdttee and (tits afternoon 1 had to run out to make excuses for htm at tbe bank tfind do some shopping, aJthcfugh I swear Jie went out some where after I'd lone, by the time I was btcck he'd lacked himself fn gnln5 Barhara took Jior usual chair by the flW Mrs. -Lodoly, astride the' hearth, scrutinized her more closoly than was her custom.

"Hen, I ajiy," as a thought struck her "I believe I know what's get tin you. It's about Mark goln' up to Town with this young million adre of ours and It's rotten for you, ofocourse It Is. But you know If Hark geta taken up by a realty rich man, welj, It'll be the makln' of him. You surely see that!" "I see that," echoed BarbaVa. She had not opened her eyea "Topplii' i jfu to take It like that!" breezed Mrs. Lodely. "Look here, Baba, why don't you and he get married before he goes to Town. Must thing Thursday mornin'f" "I can't, Judy." "I've a shrewd notion Mark's fixed up srmethln' of the sort with Mr. Frere. Miss Hoop saw him coming down Untfor Mallard larys.

So familiar had tbe give and take of the dream become that It had by Its very familiarity betrayed ber. Betrayed her; for, as Barbara's eyes opened and fastened themselves upon her, she grasped her mistake. Barbara had not meant that she re fused to merry Mark. "What money, Judy?" "My own m-money," she said, stuf taring a little as sbe often did when making a great effort to concentrate. "It's precious little but I'm his thlnkln' that it'd help you If Mark bad It. Keep him In canvas and oils. He's always borrowed as much ot it as he could, anyway" her laugh was rueful "best make It over to blm entirely. Especially now we know he's blown his Aunt Alice's legacy." "But what on earth do you pro-' pose to live on yourself If you give' your income to Mark?" "I thought p'raps I could get a job somewhere. Somethln' to do with horses and dogs. Of course, 1 sup pose to you I seem a pretty useless old hulk " she was slipping into a whine "but I've been told a dozen times I'd have made a wonderful kennel-woman. I've had It In mind a long time. Qive me somethln' to do when you've taken Mark away." "I think you "lad Setter find your Job before you part with your In come," said Barbara languidly. "Thanks for the advice!" Mrs. Lodely retorted. "But, y'know, your generation doesn't always get tho laugh of us old 'una. I was out In the world before you were In your cradle and I don't need teachln' the alpha bet just because you're scrapln' a Uvln' as a dressmaker." She felt her face grow red and made a last clutch at her self-control. "However there's no need tor us to quarrel. I don't want to quarrel, I'm sure." Sbe plumped herself by the hearth and poked violently and unskil fully at tbe lire. When she had re duced a quite pleasant flame to a thin plume ot smoke, Barbara took the poker from her and coaxed back life and light to the embers. Her lips remained closed. What's the matter with you?" , shot out Mrs. Lodely. "Sayln nothln' like that Is Jolly .nearly sulkln', Babs, and sulkln Is a trait 1 hate In anyone.

The Calllcotte statement admitted that he first sent his "confession" In fiction form to an eastern publica tion but contended It was the truth with the exception of some substitu tion of names. It was stated the fic tion work was examined by a$ editor of the Portland Oregonlan, which published the "confession" and that an Oregonlan editor asked him out right If one of the substituted names did not represent himself, which he said was the case. The Calllcotte statement asserted Goff was "one of Mooney's framers and wholly disqualified to conduct a fair and Impartial Investigation"; con stituted little more than a personal attack upon the mountaineer and "excluded statement of the authen ticity of my confession by responsible Individuals, newspapers, periodicals, and makes no mention whatever of such significant corroborative testi mony as that of my residence at the H.
