Chapter Six STRAIGHT TALK " A UNT ELLA! Wbera'i the key to the bottom brown trunk ohl" Iris's vlvld-eyed page-head popped In at tbe Unlng-room door and withdrew Itself; L-ia's voice, tiff as a young duchess's, aald througl the crack, "Good morning. Mr. Biack. Sorry I Interrupted," and was gone. Ba ran her to earth iweeplng out the atndlo In bar clean faded paint marked linen amock. It made her look more tban ever like a pretty page. "Ia there something I can get you?" abe asked. Her mock-meek rolce all but made tbe sentence end "my lord!" "Tes," said Morgan with morel .actually would admit herself In tbe wrong. , A f ORGAN aDd Iris slid Into " 1 workable relation as the daya and eeka went on. Tbey (ought a little; but It got to be a cousinly warfare. From time to time tbey even made common cause. After all, tbey were both young. . "Though after all, why one abould think tbe world owed one aucb lot" aald Morgan one afternoon. Tbey were by themselves, very frlendl at tbe farther black-marble flrepluce In tbe alttlng-dlnlng room trla hid a marred sblny maple cut ting board acrosa ber lap. copying a p'jotograpb of one of her friends on a slip of parchment. In water col ora. It waa tbe only way aha could make presents. Morgan, opposite, bad a card table and ' Pile of books and papers wblcb would presently evolve Into a family tree for a man who had always wanted one. "It doea!" aald Iris. "What makes you v,o all that work?" He straightened bis tall back and laughed, a little shamefacedly. "I don't know. I like doing tblnga for Uncle Will." He had come to call ing hlra that "Look here, let me slip you the check I get tor this. It's Uncle Will's money, so you can't bf an Insulted duchess over It." IVXl - 1 III 4W I "Do you want me to get out?" asked Morgan. spirit than originality, "a few kind words I If I'm going to stay here we hare to come to an understanding. Do you want ma to get out? It you do, all right, say so, Instead of high hatting me this way." "Have I (ailed In proper civilities and attentions?" He all but shook her, meek hands folded on her broom, lashes dropped. feet together the perfect slave. "Yes, you have. Stop taking It out on ma because you talked out a bad- tempered mood. I know what they are, I have them myself." "It wasn't temper I meant It. I'm sorry I haven't been polite. But I can't like you the way they do. Poor old Uncle William, that should bare bad ten sons, srylng If he'd had one he'd have liked him like you Aunt Ella wltb her petlta soltu " He found himself noting that she bad an excellent French accent Waa there anything this young crea ture In tbe sticks didn't have? He answered none the less sternly. "You're Jealous." I "I'm not. But they're too good for common sense. I'm alwnys afraid" she was rounding In him again, unconsciously "I'll get like that." "Don't worry." aald Morgan sar donically. "I don't know I'm awfully full of feelings!" she said naively. "And Undo Will s had me all my life, with his splendid aggravating useless code hammerej at me! 'dive all for an Ideal. Ha proud of what you are, not what you have. Remember nei ther ancestors, breeding nor posses sions count beside what you your self tie." And look at blm! A poor old drudging lawyer!" "It's Hue, though. I haven't seen too much f It!" "No, you've evidently lived wltb the successful." said Iris, beginning to d 1st the mantel. "Well why don't you try them yournelf ?" "Pci-Uns." she (aid dreamily, "some day 1 11 have th chance." "O'i, you'll net It If you want It hmlly enough," he said scornfully. And then Miss Ella railed Iris, hut not retort she had time to say Im pulsively, "I'm sorry. I'll ba n'-.'," leaving him aghast at a girl who "It wouldn't be honorable." "And you tblnk you're a modern gtrll Take al. you can get Is their motto." ' "I don't believe a word of tU You're being cheaply cynical" "Well, what modern girl would go on doing her duty the way you do, and take It out In waiting for a fairy prince to ride up In a Rolls with a fairy godmother?" ' "I don't wait! I'd like It, but 1 know tblnga like that don't happen. And you have to do your duty. Ev erybody does." f ORGAN laughed. " "No, they don't. As a matter of fact you could piarry what you want. You have one of the prettiest figures I ever saw." he said on a brotherly note, "and a pretty face and Iota of verve. Or pep." "It would have to be by corre spondence," said Iris, Idly, quite unmoved by his casual compliment. She had been told bow pretty and graceful she waa all ber life, and sh hadn't much vanity, though a ter rific pride. She dropped ber brush, yawning and stretching like a kitten In the warmth of the spring day. "Morgan, give me that vest, there's a button loose." - "Nonsense, you do enough sew ing." "I like doing manual things. It's all I Inherited from Daddy." "All? You hava more talenta than any glr! I ever met." His voice was warmer than ha knew. "Singing, playing, languages, pilnting " "But I can't pick locks. Morgan, he a Boy Scout tor me as well as Uncle William, your hearts de light. Come up garret and get into a trunk for me. You know you lova attics. It's part of your childish In nocent tastes." "Burglary? What's Inside some thing Miss Ella considers holy?" .No. merely Or I hope soma dresses that belonged to my mother. I've alwaya been allowed to make my clothes out of tW.v,. I tu,l this trunk down under a lot of boxes full of nirf-rags." , I "Might ba - dark mystery," said Morgan Indolently, (CermH.
