But Josephine held the thin little wrist. "You'll look at me and you'll Ha ten to me, Ella Lannlng, you that (mashed everything In (our lives because you had a complex on one laty brother," ahe aald.

Lawrence waa a genlua, That came before everything." ahe aald, and would have moved away, "Do yon think I'd try to convince a fanatic?" aald Josephine with an edge of contempt on ber voice. "That's not what you're to listen to. It'( thlc When 1 went off, 1 (aid something to myself, Ella Lannlng, and aa long aa I'm here, I'll say It to you. "1 aald to myself that you'd broken my alater'a heart and kept me from believing In men or love any more, because the (rand tan nings that were genluaea and aristo crats were too good for us. And I aid that some day I'd come back here with everything they'd ever bad and more. "I'm a tamoua, auoceaaful woman now. But there's more, and I'll come back and ahow It to you. Ferhapa I'll help you out with a little money If you aak politely. That's all, now you can go. 1'U be back when I've got everything, and It won't be long now." She released Miss Ella's wrist. "You are quite through. WHIT If sot, I'll come back later," Ella aald, taking no notice of anything Pblna had aald. Phlna might hare been a scolding servant-maid. 8he went quietly out without the tray, smoothing down her cuff where Phlna had rumpled It "Josle, my dear, you ahouldn't talk to Ella that way. Just one of your old storma." aald Dncle Will. To Iris, young aa ahe waa. It waa aa It ahe were watching the third act of a play whose second act had been played yeara before. They had all taken up their roles where they bad dropped them when they were young. But aa ahe atood there halt be hind the door, still forgotten and unheard, Phlna auddenly changed again from the turloua woman she bad been to the smooth and capable lady Iris bad eeen Brat and aat down In the cbalr by the bed. "Very welt Wilt It's Idlotlo to lose one's temper, but rather pleas ant Now let'a talk about the thing I came for." IRIS, limp from the brushing wings of the storm, moved unseen from the doorway. Owen waa no longer with Morgan In the email room at the etalrhead. Morgan waa alttlng there alona with a moody face. He rose and came to her Impetuously. "So you're going to let them sell It to him?" Morgan demanded with a darkening face. "Morgan, how can youT" Iris pro tested. It did aeem to her that one icene waa enough. "You talk almost aa If you hated me." "Hale you?" Morgan said passion ately. "That'a Just tha trouble, I wish I did bate you. Here, wa might is well have It out" He drew ber Into the queer little room at the stairhead, once prob ably a eewlng room whence the mistress of the house could watch ber maids aa ahe worked. He ehut the doors, and put a band on her silk-sleeved arm. Hla force was more than the pbyalcal bold. She had been poised to escape, but ahe found her self meekly waiting. "I came here." he went on, "after going through an experience never mind what happened. I wasn't to blame. But the gtrl I'd believed in, bad thought honestly loving she threw me over. My friends, that I thought had liked me for myself, nearly all walked out on me. I aald good-by to the only two people who did care, and walked out . . . came here, finally. 1 didn't be lieve In anything or anybody, any more. Well. I found Uncle Will and you. Honest Innocent unselfish people who would rather give than take. 1 got to believing In thlnga again. "And by the time 1 waa that far l found I waa In love with you. Iris. If you'll atay here and marry me you won't ever have to dress badly or go without normal little pleasures. I'll spend my life trying to make you happy. I love you. 1 I need you. You're my faltb In girls. Stay here. Marry me." She stared up at hla dark, excited face. She had grown to care for Morgan, to be grateful to him (or the way he had atood by them through trouble. But marry him? Marry thla strange moody man who terrified her aometlmea, whom ahe had grown to care for without think ing whether It waa brotherly or what? What ahe found to answer sounded Inadequate. I I never thought about any of that." "Think then. Iris darling Iris I" But before ahe could say more. before abe had time to more than move away from blm, Phina'a taut tailor-made figure stood at the door. Your uncle wanta to apeak to you, my dear, ehe aald; and the moment was over which might have made Iris yield. Uncle Will spoke quietly. "Your aunt and 1 have been dis cussing your future, dear," be aald. She wants you to go with ber. I have no right to Influence your de cision. Decide what Is best and hap piest for yourself. Both of us will alwaya love you Just the same." A DNT Josephine, who had done everything possible to Influence Iris's decision, waited like a sen tinel. Owen had reappeared and aat motionless by the window, aa honor ably neutral aa Uncle Will, but hla eager face apoke tor him. Iris stood silent (or a long two minutes. "Which la It Iris?" Owen aald eagerly. Oh, Uncle Will!" She ran over to the bed and threw her arms tight round his sagging shoulders. "If you say ao I'll atay I" 'But what do want to do, dear?" 'Owens my own brother," she I said pleadingly, "And I would like aome of the plenaurea and palacea." She looked at blm with awe;, ahe had Juat aeen blm going through the sort of scene one doesn't aasoclate with one's elders. "Bu If you want me if you need me. dear I'll atay." He ahook hla head. "No. You're right you should go with your brother tor a while at least And waan't (air to you. Josle. I see It now. Perhapa It will make up a little I give you my little girl." Phlna, alight with triumph. ruatled out , "Come upstairs." ahe aald, "I must see what you can take with you. Not much, I imagine." She waa golngl Her (oot waa on the atalr to fol low Phlna to ber bedroom on the third floor, when Morgan, atlll atandlng In the email room at the stairhead, caught her wrlat "Listen to me. Iris," be aald pas slonately. "I'm not talking about myself now, I'm not being selfish. I'm talking about you. You've lived a stranger, more unworldly life than you know, here with a couple ol romantic elderly people. You've seen a tew village boya and girls. Tha world your aunt'a taking you to Isn't Ilka that" "You aound aa If I were going to darkest Africa among the eavagea," Iris aald lightly, her eyes alight with the excitement of her coming Jour ney. "I'm not an Idiot I'll have Aunt Phlna and Owen. I can take care ol myself. If I can't I'll write and tell you." "Then you won't stay either foi me or yourself?" Iris' temper that honeat, brush wood flame that flashed up and was down again In a half minute flared. "I'm going! And I'll win out! And that'a all there la to that!'' ahe said. She turued and followed her aunt upstairs, leaving Morgan standlni below. Cetrt'l. leH Se. .-,.( Viddtmtr) 10 LISTED FOR COEDS BOSTON, Mi-SB..
