A decanter stood on one end of the mantol. balanced by an unusual ly perfect, bright-colored Tanagra girl at the other. The walls had been tacked over with brown burlap to make a background tor the plo tures. ' Morgan knew something about pictures. He moved from painting to painting, Iris standing still by the clean, empty hearth. Some of them were, like the painting In the dining room, family portraits; a powdered Stuart gentleman and lady; a tur baned young person In green satin and a curly bob of Jefferson's day: finally a parent-and-child group of the nineties, with Sargent's signa ture unmistakable In the corner. "You could sell those tor a lot," he ssld. "But they're family portraits," said Iris with an air of complete ex planation. It bad never occurred to her. It was plain.

Irla mlsundoratood him. "Aunt Ella says sometimes people never are appreciated till they're been dead fifty years!" she said. "Now shall we go bsck to the dining room? We sit there." The dining table had been hidden uuder an old brown and rose chenille cover. William Lannlng's deep lined long kindly face lifted Ita steel spectacles from a pile of books and papers. Miss Klla was silting at the other end, darning with nervous effl clent Jerks. Morgan dropped Into s chair between them.

"You mustn't think you have to sit down here It you don't want to," said William with a kindliness so father ly that Morgan warmed to him more than ever. "Rooms enough In this old house If you want a separate slt ting room. I suppose you're looking up genealogy; that's what peopli usually come here for. It has the best library In the state. Glad to help you If you like; I do It myself In my spare time." He pushed a paper over. Morgan accepted the loophole. "Some of my mother's people came from around here," he said truth' fully, as It happened. He glanced at the paper, and added a won", or so which made Uncle William say. "Lawyer, aren't you?" "Not practicing," Morgan an swered, amused at the old man's un expected acuteness. "The curse of enough to live on." Miss Ella gave him one of her darting, all-seeing looks.

"The library's on the sec ond floor." OUT Morgan waa tired, too.

He went off to sleep with more of a sense of home about him than he bad had since his mother's death long ago. He came down at what seemed to him an early hour next day, feeling treed and rested. No ties, no re sponsibilities or snythlng of the sort. "Whore's Mr. William?" he asked, looking round Instinctively for the fine careworn old figure he had taken such a fancy to. "Gone to the courthouse," Miss Ella said. "We three breakfast at seven-thirty, one gets through so much more that way: but my brother Lawrence used to have a tray when he rang. Iris thought you might like that better." He wouldn't humor Iris I "I get up at seven-thirty no, I mean seven after this." be heard himself announcing with more seal than he had given anything tor some time. "See here. Miss Ella, I'm going to be one of the family, not a nuisance. Going to be en the footing nf a nephew or second couslo or something."
