Sh lifted hor obln ul took a step forward. Ail the bolts and ban Is the world weren't going to keep her from Jim. "May I come tof Nesta stood where ihe waa, the door half closed. "I'm Mrs. RlddeU but I don't know who you are." "I'm Caroline Leigh. Ive got a message from the Eliton cottage hospital. Mar I come inT" Nesta RlddeU had bo Intention of talking about the Elaton cottage hos pital at Mln's front door. She stepped hack, let Carolina pass her and, hutting the door, showed the wax Into the parlor. Carolina turned to tsos her, flushed with success, There, beside the hearth, was the ooalscuttle, aa bright as a new pen ny. Sbe held out the bill. "I think you dropped this MIL The aorse asked me to give It to you." Nesta glanced at It, frowned, and arushed It Is her hand. "Thank yon yon needn't hare troubled; It didn't matter." "Oh, but I waa coming to see you anyhow." "You were coming to see me? What fort" Caroline stayed silent Her feallng of success drained away. Sbe felt as If she were on the edge of saying something rery Important Once she had said it she would not be able to take it back. Tet she must say it Only what it waa that ebe must say ihe did not really know. Then she said it "Where's Jim t" Nesta'i hand closed hard upon the rumpled bill. Jim wasn't here, thank goodsees. H waa so more than ten minutes since he had barged out of the house. Jim I She'd teach other women to come after her husband. She repeated the name in a most offensive voice. "Jim?" Caroline colored brightly. "Mrs. RlddeU please I must see him because I think he is my cou sin, Jim Randal. The nurse said" "What does she know abort it? He's my husband." "Are you sure?" Nesta laughed angrily. "What do you suppose?" "The nurse said" "And I say, what does she know about it?" "Please let me speak. The nurse aid there was a piece of letter in his pocket with the signature Caroline. I'm Caroline, and I sent him a letter signed just like that so you see" and Haney's father Is a window wa&her. School at Mecca will not open until January this term, the boys said. NE TESTA'S manner ohanged. She smoothed away her frown and aid In her best company manner: "It'a a pity you've had ao much trouble for nothing. The lotter was from a Miss Caroline Bussell, who Is a cousin of mine." . Dejection flowed in upon Caroline like a fog. It all came out so pat Mlaa Caroline Bussell a cousin of mine. . . . She couldn't have invented a name like Carolina Bussell all in one flashing Instant She lifted her head as if to get above the fog and asked: "Have you got the letter here?" "No, I haven't I don't keep old torn bits of paper." "If I could have seen it" said Caroline vary earnestly. She waa pressing ker hands together, palm to palm, and anger to finger. Her eras under her little brows tweed as, the blight dear brows of peaty water, gaaed pleadingly at Nesta. Her hair was the same bright color. Nesta did sot answer in words. She smiled a little. "If you would lend me a pencil it I could write my name you'd know if It was the same." "Do yon think I dont know my ws hubandr said Nesta. What lid one say to that what otmld see eayt Of course she must know her own husband. Caroline's hops waa a pricked babble. She had made a fool of herself to a woman with a rasping voice and eyes like bits of tin. she began to go slowly towards the door. She was wearing a loose brown tweed coat She hugged P round her as if ahe were sold. Nesta stood aside to let her pass, but Just on the threshold Caroline turned, her color changing brightly. "Hava you got s photograph it your husband?" "No, I haven't" "Not even a snapshot?" "I've said no, haven't If" Caroline rested her hand upon the Jamb of the door. Something In her would not take Neata's no: ahe couldn't tell why. Eager words cam I hurrying to her lips. "Mrs. RlddeU I don't teal as tf I could go away without seeing him. Won't you try and understand how I teal about it? It's such a strong feeling I can't shake It off. II I go away like this, I shall keep on think ing about him, and about my letter the one I wrote and signed Carolina. And I shall keep on thinking, 'Sup- pose It was Jim.' But If I were to sec him, I should know." The hard color rose in Nestafe cheeks. "Are you calling ma a liar?" she said. "Because if yon are, rre had sough. Jim Rlddell's my husband, and I've got my marriage lines to provs it I don't know who you axe, and I don't care. Calling yourself chap's cousin's aa good a way of get ting off as any other and you may be one of Jim's girls, or you may be touched in the head. "But this is my brother's house and I oan do with your room Instead of your company oomlng her after another woman's husband and giv ing me the lie about him to my face I Let ms tell you that you'll sot aee him, not if you were to stay here all day. He's got something better to do than ait about at home waiting for his lady friends to drop In. He's got our keep to earn and a Job to go to. And I'll thank you to ba off out of this." Caroline's hand dropped from the door. She looked taller. She was pale. She said, "Oood morning, Mrs. RlddeU," and walksd out of ths house and down the gravel path to the car. WASHINGTON, Oct 7.

When at last as uncertain step sounded on the gravel path, she ran to the door, anxiety flaring Into anger. "Where have you been?" she be gan, and then stopped as he lurched past her Into the parlor. She thought at first that be" was drunk, but it waa fatigue that sent blm reeling to the nearest chair. "Where have you been?" she ra peated. "You look all In. What d'you want to go walking abont till you're lit to drop? Six hours you've been gone, and you couldn't have had bits or a drop, because you hadn't a copper on you. Hold on and I'll get you something Mln's got ksttlt on." She brought him cold meat and vegetables and a cup of strong tea, and followed up the meat with bread and cheese. When he had eaten and she had taken the things away, she came back and looked at him sharply. Been a bit of a tool, haven't you? What d'you want to go flinging off like that?
