Chapter Nina PARTY A S Irla wiped iff the bljr wooden kitchen table with the wrunf oat dishcloth, and rlnaed It under the faucet, she asked Mlsa Ella, hanging np the rlnaed dish towels at the other end of the long room, one audden question. "Didn't any o( you try to get my brother Owen back?" i And Miss Ella answered as mat' ter-of-factly, standing on tiptoe to tretcb the damp towels along tbe rack. '"After I took you out of the baby carriage In fropt of the boarding house where the Roaa glrlr were, your mother came doffn to try to get you again. But your father had tbe law on bis side, and tbey bad no money to flgbt. They wr Just two ordinary little dressmake a who had settled here, and entrapped my brothers!" Iris crossed the room, her eyes blazing. "You're talking about my mother. I don't care what she did. she waa a good, kind, lovely woman. 1 re member enough of her for that" "All right, child. Perhaps I shouldn't have aald It," said Miss Ella. Iris stared at her. This was so un like her aunt! When she followed It up with ber old suggestion that Irla might be able to make something to wear to Katherlne Oliver's out of ber own only best dress. Iris breathed again. That was mora normal. She refused the offer, mechani cally. Katherlne Oliver and ber teas, which bad loomed so Important, teemed to matter little now. She met Morgan in the ball. "I've found out all about It that he knows," he said. "B. kind to Dim. It was oh, well, your Aunt Ella had a brother-complex, and smashed four lives on .the strength of It, that's all. That's Uow I figure It out." "And now whatr Iris said eager ly. She knew little about complexes. "Now in going to put inings in motion. But don't hope too mucb, child!" "Ob. you're so good to me!" But she spoke as she might hare to an uncle, or to a brother. He was stung Into answering wltb ome of his old bitterness. "Don't blame me If you're sorry. Tou'ra In a place wbera there's peace and beauty and honesty and love, and If you bad any sense you'd want to stay here and not Investi gate." "Yon aren't fair." , "I suppose not It's bard to be fair." THE months went on; the sum mer drifted by. Uncle Will still was not very well. "He's nvr been tbe same since the accident" Miss E'la aald, trying to spare him, Morgan noticed, In everything that meant waiting on. but not at all as regards suggesting that he do less ork. Saving for the dead brother's memorial came first with her. Morgan stoo ' by. He bad never known what It was to be needed be fore. He waa an unofflc. partner In the old man's law practice, and the genealogical work that meant extraa. More and more became a part of tbe household, petted fiercely by Mlsr Ella, leaned on by Uncle Will, Iris's comrade and friend. He bad not told Iris that he loved her. He would win ber, flrat And be would be aure that aha waa aa dis interested, aa crystalline, as she seemed, A little of hla old bitter ness remained. Iris waa reatlesa at first She would come to him every day or ao and aay, "No newa about Owen?" But by degreea tbey both loat hope. Tbe detectives he had hired worked faithfully, but tbey had no results to report Presently.be thought. Irla stopped thinking about It She went on. busy like the rest Lau did her exqulilte place-cards and bet perfer- embroi dery tor sale. She went on giving her French and sinking lessons to the little sliters of her acquaint ances. And - to Morgan's suppressed INCOME GOING UP BAM FHANCISCO, April 4 (API The far weet's farm income went up In January lent year, final tig tree gathered by the department of agri culture show.

He took her to movlec occasion allynot too often, she would not let him. They went tor loug walks. He would bave been caught up In the tide ot small town life himself, the parties that went on steadily, Including Iris on their edge. If be bad permitted it But he would not more tban once In u lo.ig while. "You know, you put your worst toot foremost When i met you I thought you spent your whole time grousing," bb said to her one Jay, when be nad man gd to lure ber from her sewing for one ot tbe long walks In tbe leaflets woods tbal tbey botb liked taking. It was No vember weather, but ' - laughed, swinging along beside him. In bet old brown tall coat Well, to begin with, I do It only on my Saturday afternoons off: and besides, since you've been here life's so mucb better. Its a little lonely, being the only young person In the bouse all your life. They were all mlddleaged when 1 was born. It was a grand day for the Lannlng family when you and 1 met on 'be courthouse steps with our mutual bad tempers. You're not so lowering yourself, you know, Morgan. In tact 1 think, you're a grand pi rson." She laughed up at him with her sudden brilliance that was sometimes al most blinding. - , He was on tbe verge ot telling hei he loved ber. He put au arm around her, and she leaned against ' m as If he had been her rcle. No. He'd wait Just a little longer. SUDDENLY she stopped anil looked at her watcb. a lady's gold watch of the eighties, swung aronnd her neck on a black ribbon and tucked Into ber belt aa unlike a modern girl's possessions at everything else she owned. You'll Just have tlm- to get to , Kay Oliver's. She'll never forglvi- you or me or anybody If you don'i turn up at her party. "I'll go If you wIlL" "It's the same old story, Morgan I can't go like this. And 1 can't go any other way. But you can. and you must One of our best-dressed young men, you are!" Her pluck, her smiling braver; and generosity, suddenly came ivet him. "If I go this time will you corns with me next?" "1 will. But I will not be lured Into taking even a bungalow apron from the ten cent store at your tali bands." . She laughed. "Uncle Will 'actually held out ten dollars from tbe maw of the memorial tun- If he'd given It to me yesterday 1 could bave blossomed out In an elegant gar ment and even liew shoes but be forgot till this morning, bless bit absent-minded old heart and the layette for Mrs. Warden bad been promised. You go on, and sbe'll In vlte me some more tor your sweet sake. You don't know what a boon a young man from the city Is?" Shi began to recite cheerfully: "There was a young man from tbe city Who saw what he thought was a kitty. He save It a pat And Mid 'Nice little catl' . , , "Only you dldn'tl Vou said torrid little cat' " "You're not a catl You'ri a grand little sport" "Morgan, this from youl Why, 11 will keep me proud and puffed ui till I tee you again." She gave bin a little shove. "Come wltb me." "No, 1. have something to do." "Place-cards again?" "A singing lesson to a smai: child. I'll have tea for you and Uncle Will when you get borne." She shook her bead, turning and going. . . Well, he'd go on to Kay Oliver's party, a oad Imitation ol New York's whoopee-before-last Irla wanted him to. And be would make sure of an Invitation tor next time tor Iris. - Kay, friendly, exuberant brown eyed, met him on the stone porcb of the Oliver house. "It's simply swell to see you," she said, putting a couple ot tanned, ef ficient bande on bis sbolders and giving him a friendly shake. "Come on In. I've got some ot the grandest new records you ever saw. and they aay you know how to make Dai quiris Just like old man Daiquiri's eldost son. You ehould have dragged Irla along." CCfv.iX.
