retefi!hg'ni*t Took of DersT *' ~
Lulu wanted to aay: "My husband
was married before. Just as he said he
was." But she ssid nothing more, and
went home. There she put It to D!
and, with her terrible bluntness, re-
viewed to Dl.the testimony.
“You were not with Jenny after
eight o’clock. Whore were youF
Lulu spoke formally and her rehears-
als were evident.
D1 said: “When mamma comes
home, ru tell her.”
With this Lulu had no Idea how to
deal, and merely looked at her help-
lessly. Mrs. Bett,, who was lacing her
shoes, bow said casually:
"No need to wait till then. Her and
Bobby were out In the side yard sif-
ting In the hammock till all hours."
Dl had no answer save tier furious
flush, and lira. Rett went on;
“Didn’t I tell you? I knew It before
the company left, hut I didn't say a
word. Ththka I, ‘She wiggles and
chltters.' So I left her shay where
she was.”
“But. mother I" Lulu cried. “You
didn’t even tell roe after he'd gone."
“I forgot It," Mm. Bett said, -“find-
ing Ninian's letter and all—” She
talked of Ninian's letter.
Di was bright and alert and Arm of
flesh and erect before Lulu’s softness
and laxness.
“I don't know what your mother’ll
say," said Lulu, “and I don’t know
what people’ll think.”
“They won’t think Bobby and I are
tired of each other, anyway,” said Dl,
and left the room.
Through the day Lulu tried to think
what she must do. About Dl she was
anxious and felt without power. She
thought of the Indignation of Dwight
and Inn that Dl had not been more
scrupulously guarded. She thought of
Dl's girlish folly, her Irrltallhg Inde-
pendence—“and there," Lulu thought,
"just the other day I was teaching
her to sew.” Her ralpd dwelt, too, on
Dwight's furious "anger at the-opening
of Ninian's letter. -But when salt this
had spent Itself, what was she herself
to do? She must leave hla house be-
fore he ordered her to do se, when
she told him that she had confided in
Cdrnlsh, as tell she must. But what
was she to do? The bakery cake-
making would not give her a roof.
Stepping about the kltctren In her
blue cotton gown, her hair tight and
flat as seemed proper when one was
not dressed, she thought about\ these
things. And It was strange: Lulu bore
no physical appearance of one In dis-
tress or any anxiety. Her bead was
erect, her movements were strong and
swift, her eyes were Interested. She
was no drooping Lulu with dragging
step. She was more Intent, she was
somehow more operative than she had
ever been. _
Mrs. Bett was working contentedly
beside her, and now and then hum-
ming an air of that music of the night
before. The sun surged through the
kitchen door and east window, a re-
turned oriole swung and fluted on the
elm above the gable. Wagons clat-
tered by over the rattling wooden
block pavement.
“Ain’t It nice-with nobody homer
Mrs. Bett remarked at intervals, like
the burden of a comic song.
"Hush, mother,” Lulu said, troubled,
ber ethical refinements conflicting with
her honesty.
“Speak the troth and" shame the
devil,” Mrs. Bett contended.
When dinner was ready at noon, Dl
did not appear. A little earlier Lulu
had heard her moving.about her room,
and she served her In expectation that
she would Join them. %
"Dl must be haring tha tantrim’
this time," she thought, and for a time
said nothing- But at length she did
say; “Why doesn't Dl come? Td bet-
ter put ber plate In the oven.”
Rising to do so, she was arrested
by her mother. Mrs. Bett was eating
a baked potato, holding her fork close
to the tines, and presenting a profile
of passionate absorption.
“Why. Di went off,” she said.
"Went off!"
“Down the walk. Down the aide-
walk”
“She must have gone to Jenny’s,”
sa|d Lulu. “I wish ahe wouldn't do
that without telling me.”
Monona laughed out and shook her
straight hair. “Sbe’U catch ItF ahe
cried In sleteriy enjoyment.
It was when Lulu had come hack
from the kitchen and was seated at the
table that Mrs. Bett observed:
“I didn’t think lnle'd want her to
take ber nice new satchel."
“Her satchel F
“Tea. Into wouldn’t take It north
herself, but Dl had It"
“Mother," said Lulu, “when Dl
went away Just now, was she carrying
a satchel?”
“Didn’t I Just tell yog?” Mrs. Bett
demanded, aggrieved. "1 said 1 didn't
think 'We--” ' /: '"
"Mother, which way did she goF
Monona pointed with her spoon.
“She went teat war," she said! *T
seen her."
Lnlu looked at tee clock. For Mo-
nona bad pointed toward the railway
station. The twelve thirty train.
Which every one took to the city for
popping, would be Just about leav-

~"Monona," said Lulu, “don’t you go
out of the yard while Fro gone. Moth-
er, you keep her—’’
Lulu ran from the honse nnd up the
strcig. She was In her blue cotton
dress, her old shoes; she was hatless
and without money. When she was
stilt two or three block* from tee sta-
tion, she heard the' twelve-thirty
"pulling out.” . se/*
She ran badly, her ankles In their
low, loose shoes continually turning,
her anus held taut at ber sides. So

the tMMR1 window. It* contained

perturbed Cnees, yet actually ceased
counting when
“Lenny! Did-Dl Deacon take that
train?" •*' *.
“Sure she did,1’ said Lenny.
“Ahd Bobby Lark ip?" Lulu cared
nothing for appeanindpl’how.
"He went in on the Local,” said
Lenny, and his eyes widened.
"Where?-'
“See.” Lenny thought it through.
“Mlllton," he said. “Ye*, sure. Mill-
ion. Both of ’em." f r
“How long till another tralnF
“Well, sir," said th* ticket mao,
“you’re In luck, If you %*aa goto’ too.
Seventeen was late this morning—
she'll be nlong, Jerk of a lamh’s tall."
"Then," said Lulu, “you got to give
rae a ticket to Mutton, without me pay-
ing till after—and you got to lead me
two dollars."
“Sure thing." said Lenny, with a
manner of laying tha entire railway
system at her feet
“Seventeen” would rather net have
Stopped at Warbletoa, hut Lenny’s sig-
nal was law on tbs.time card, and the
magnificent yellow express s!o«ed:
down for Lulu. Hatless, and In her
blue cotton gown, she climbed aboard.
Then her old Inefficiency seised
upon her. What was she going to do?
Mlllton 1 She had been there but once,
years ago—how could she ever find
anybody? Why hud Bhe not stayed in
Warbleton and asked1 the sheriff or
somebody—no. not the sheriff. Corn-
ish, perhaps. Oh, and Dw Ight and Ina
were going to he angry now! And

she begun to cry. She said To herself
that she had taught Dl to sew.
in sight .,f Mlllton, Lulu was seized
with trembling and physical nausea.
She hud never been alone In any un-
familiar town. She put her hands, to
her hair and for the first time realized
her rolled tip sleeves. She was polling
down these sleeves when the conduct-
tor came through the train.
“Could you tell me,” she said timid-
ly, “the name of the principal hotel In
Mlllton 7”
Ninlan had asked this as they
neared Savannah, Georgia.
The conductor looked curiously at
her.
“Why, tb$ Hess house,” he said.
“Wasn’t you expecting anybody to
meet you?” he asked, kindly.
‘Ao," said Lulu, "but I’m going to
find my folks—’’ Her vblce trailed
away.
"Beats all," thought th* conductor,
using his utility formula for the uni-
verse.
In Mlllton Lulu’s Inquiry for the
Hess house produced no consternation,
Nobody paid any attention to her. She
was almost taken to he a .new servant

Her appeal was tremendous, com-
pelling. Th* yoang clerk listened to
her, showed her where to look In t|)e

and strange writing presented there

Ltd* entered. She had no Idea wh*t
to say. When Di looked up. started
up, frowned, Lulu felt at If she herself
were the culprit. She said the first
thing that occurred to her: '

rWhat’s that to you?” Di cried.
‘Why, Dl, you're Just s little girl—”
Lulu saw that this was all wrong,
and stopped miserably. How was i(he
to go on? “Dl,’’ she said, “if you and
Bobby want to get married, why nbt
let us get you up a nice weddlng^at

ed as If she were talking about a tea-

Dl sprang up. “Aunt Lulu,” she said,

“Getting married Is for your whole

was what her manner seemed to aay.
