"To think," breathefl Eulalte, "1 came up stairs intending to go to the little creature's room to make friends with her for his sake and she she tad been here before ine." "Who had been here?" demanded mother. For answer, Eulalie silently held up a small torn piece of rusty black goods, an exact duplicate of the material the benutiful small woman had worn for three days.

I It had been raining for three days without letup. Everyone at the hotel was bored stiff, actually stiff 1 "Great guns inelegantly piped Eu-; lalle.

"Here's that creature again!" The creature referred to was a for-! lorn little woman in cheap black who slipped into the hotel lobby Then mother fluttered over. "Jane, begged of me. "It's perfectly dis lightful time during the whole three blessed days of rain. He smoked and smoked and smoked and talked war and finance to the well, really, the 8tunningest man I ever saw "Did you ever see anyone so distinguished?" gushed mother. Just thea the stranger looked about and, after giving me a mere passing glance, his eyes rested on the face of the woman in black.

The kindest expression came into his eyes the way one looks at helpless, pretty babies. His eyes wandered on to Eulalie. Leave It to our mother to follow up the slightest chance where her daughters are concerned. She actually pounced on the man! Father was startled and got fussed. Eulalie trailed languidly into the same arux-hair father had occupied and soon father disappeared.

I made up the fourth in the party. I'll cr.nfs riiat although Eulalie and I did our very prettiest, to say nothing nf mother's amiability, everyone watching knew the man simply could not keep his eyes off that shrinking figure in rusty black. His name, we found, was Donald I Slater, and his stay at the mountain resort was uncertain. His desire to keep his eyes on the perfectly lovel. profile of the little creature iu black dampened even Euliilie's irrepressible vivacity.

I'd been tra1' to be the tactful ore of our fniuil. being the plainer of the girls. So, remembering about it in time, I gracefully approached the woman, taking a chair directly in front of her. "Beastly weather," I began, smiling nt her kindly. Would you believe It she opened her lips to answer nnd they stayed that way.

From his seat ou the big divan, sur-j rounded by pillows and Sister Eulalie, the Slater man leaped to the middle ol the lobby, stooped over the little figure nnd picked lux up in his arms.

LENDRUM A vague, indefinable air of depression, quite out of keeping witb the usual vivacious repartee, hung over the dinner table at which were seated Helena Rider, her son Herman, a professor in the academy, and Leonore Claymore, their guest since the sudden death of her father, The professor cleared his throat, and for the third time during the meal asked the girl on what train she was leaving.

Her answer was invariably, "Seven-fifty in the morning." The professor cou-hed, and, rising, went to the librar to finish his cigar alone. Leonore looked up to find Jlrs. Kider regarding her intently. "Child, why don't you put off going until nest week asked the elderly woman "You are so kind, Mrs. Rider," answered the girl, "and I don't want to go to Aunt Elmeda's, but really I cannot impose upon you any longer." Together they rose from the table to Join Herman in the library.

Herman switched on the lights as they entered and pulled forward a chair for his mother. They sat silent, all thinking of the one thing that Leonore was about to leave them. She bad been with them but a short time, but she had brought a marked change in 1'r home. What would life be like when she had gone away? He tried vainly to think of something to say. The girl broko his train of thought by rising abruptly.

"I have some packing to do," she said, and left the room hastily. "I wish she would stay," said Mrs. Rider when she was out of hearing. "So do seconded the professor. "Can't you induce her to "No, sbn seems to thAnkihatshe TJiouidJonswerei nls another, floie fully.
