the house did look perfect. And there

“Elsie,” she cried breathlessly after
a glance out into tbe glaring hot day.
“You may go. Right away. There’s

Elsie took off her apron, climbed
stolidly up into the truck.

be hoped. Robert alighted, followed by
his guest who smilingly and In most

open. Mrs. Paul Eldridge was slow In

bands outstretched. But the smile died
on her lips, her hand fell and stiffened
at her side.

subsided in a heap on the porch floor
but that tbe silk-clad arms of Mrs.

patted her slinking shoulders. A kind
voice murmured:
