After serving breakfast, Roxie
'lingered. "’Will you be home tor

•'Marcia would like to know if

She went out immediately into the
warden and made her way around
the dining-room wing of the house
in the direction of the garage, snif-
fing delightedly at the exotic fra-
grance of the orange blossoms.
Site was amused to notice a head
dodge back behind the ye.low
checked curtains as she passed the
kitchen ”1 just know they're won-

Frills,” she thought, smiling. VVell.
they’ll have to keep on wondering.
[ hope at least that they wont hm.
the change too unpleasant Now,
let’s see—Oh. there’s somebody! I
wonder if that’s the ‘Sam Neil men-
tioned?”
“He looks young and somehow
not like ar. ordinary servant.” she
dermg whether l'rills wouldn’t ha\e
been disgusted with this very mildness.
“Sure she does,” agreed Sam, but
say, get on her, and she's got all the
life you want and don’t you forget it.
Say, that mare’s got one of the tastest
trots of any horse around here, and the
smoothest canter you ever saw.”
Joyce stepped hack a little. In spite
of Kosita’s good character, she seemed
disconcertingly big, and Joyce had a
foolish fear of being stepped on sud-
denly. She lingered while Sam led Ro-
sita inside again.
There was a varnished wooden sta-
tion wagon standing on the gravel drive ........ ... — —«----- -
while inside the garage she could see to anything else. 1 m bitterly disnp-
i long low car, very sporty-looking, pointed that I cant be with you nov .

Thank God. Neil is away for some
time. 1 can't get over your look this
morning. Frills, t all me up tomorrow,

“That’s the same *C’ who wrote
about the house party,” thought Joyce
"and it must be the Mrs. Kmerv who
telephoned yesterday.”
The next letter on heavy masculine
stationery began: “Star Baby' loyce
grinned to herself at this poetic open-
ing. "How lovely!” she murmured sar-
castically, and read on with interest.
“I'm sitting in my room at the win-
dow that faces where you are, and
think of you so hard that I can’t settle
“She is a beauty.” agreed Joyce with enthusiasm
thought as she approached. “1 wish

When the young man suddenly
turned:1 ;und, and sccni:- liei, ' i k.

"Good-morning, Mrs. I ackard! Gee,
I’m glad t see y u ut. H W arc

His attitude, th ugh deferential
pn i h, had n thing -cr'ilc in it.
He spoke in an easy matin, r. as if
questions of varying social levels and
never disturbed him.
“Oh, yes, I’m all right,” replied
Joyce, feeling relieved that this was
pcing to be easier than she had
expected. "I did get kind of a bad
crack on the head., though it's Putter

There was just the hint of a grin on
the young 'nan's face a> he an -vvered.
“Mr. Packard „ave orders before he

“Oh?” Joyce frowned, not, as Sam
probably thought, in argrr at this
news, but in baflied annoyance at

remark before she Hred make it.
“Mr. Packard had me bring Ro-

This time the astonishment n Sam’s

Joyce realized that she had at last
really surprised him.
"But gee, Mrs. i ackard, 1 thought
you didn’t like log ' he exclaimed
“Well, I've changed riy mind,” re-
turned Joyce, embarrassment making
her speak so shortly that Sam seemed
to take her answer as a rebuke.
“Well, I don’t know exactly what I
do want," said Joyce uncomfortably,
wishing she had given the matter more
thought before getting into it this way.
"Why don't you go to Allen Kennels
and pick out something you like?” sug-
gested Sam after a moment.
"Oh, I don’t want to be bothered,”
she replied, hoping this would sound
enough like the capricious Frills to
pass. “Can’t you get me one somewhere
around here, so 1 ran have it today?"
"Well, I know a dog I think 1 could
get you," exclaimed Sam suddenly. it -
the cutest little white and black Boston
hull you ever saw, about two years
old and smart as a whip. Belongs to
people named March. They're g' ing to
China and don’t want to take the pup.
I ike to have me see if I can get him
for you ?”
"Oh, yes, do,” said Joyce. "Do you
want . . . had you better have some
money? I can write you a check.”
"I don't think they’ll take any money.
They’ll be glad to find a good home for
the dog.”
“Get him as soon as you can, will
you?” asked Joyce, smiling at Sam
gratefully. “I'm crazy to see him. Now
that I’ve decided to hav e a dog, I want
it right away.”
“Sure, I’ll go right away, Mrs.
Packard. I was just going to drive
down to get the day’s orders.”
loyce wished she might ride with
him while he did his errands but realiz-
ing the inadvisability of such an outing
she turned away reluctantly and went
back to the house where she found that
the morning mail had arrived She
sorted out the one| addressed to “.Mrs,
Neil Packard” and carried them down
to the far end of the garden to a se-
cluded corner hidden from the house.
The first one was a short note, care-
lessly scrawled in a handwriting she
seemed to have seen before. “Sorry you
didn’t feel 'ike seeing any of the gang

to another. She sh >:>k the letter impa-
tiently. “All your fine passion is wasted
on me, Mr. Maitland!” she said aloud.
"Well, let’s see what else I have
here? After Mait’s passionate compo-
sition everything else will sectn tame.’
The next letter made her sit up with
a jerk. There was no address, an !
Joyce hastily turned the envelope over
and examined the post mark curiously
"New York, N. Y„” she finally mv'i
out.
In an angular, precise handwriting
in pale ink the astonishing letter read
“My dear Florence. Although you
seem to lack interest in hearing ab
the baby, I feel it no less than my
duty to keep you informed of het
health. She is a most engaging littli
mite, showing, even at her tender age I
a decided personality and charm. '
"Although truth compels me to ad-
mit that you are probably not the
most suitable person to bring up a
child, still I cannot understand how
you can possibly feel that the sort of
pleasures which fill your life are more
important, more satisfying than thi
care and bringing up of this dear little
baby. I will send you a few. lines edch
month. Please extend tny faithful
greeting to Neil. Sophie.”
Spellbound, Joyce read this letter
which flowed along without a single
paragraph to break its smooth stilted
sentences. The significance of its con-
tents came as such an unexpected blow
that she felt weak and shaken.
“A baby! It can’t be true! ... 1
never even heard of that. . . . Couh
Frills have had a baby in that time:
Let me see, yes, it could have happenec
. . . the baby could by now be as mucl
as five or six menths old! ... 01
dear, Oh dear, to think of me havint

She sat and read the letter ngait |
and again trying to realize the incred-
ible fact that she, Joyce Ashton, wa-
a mother.
Joyce glanced up and saw a man
cofnliig down the path toward her. She
took a deep breath to restore her cour-
age and looked him over with sur-
prising calm as she hastily put the
letters aside.
