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

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

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

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

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

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,

trunk for me. You know you lova

"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
