amazed to find that it did not contain
white clothing as usual, hut-silks jand
embroideries, colored fabrics, a far
more difficult washing. However,- she"
undertook it the following morning,
the more readl!y_because it was cloudy,
with a slight wind. The delicate arti
cles could be hung In the' yard and
would dry quickly.
The rejits must be collected, since
*11 the tenants wlyr’ had been away
for the holidays were now home again.
Mrs. I’enfield flew from one thing to
another washing,, collecting rent,
watehjng' the silk curtains and eu>
brqjd^rles on the line, changing them
about that they might dry as quickly
and evenly as possible. She must get
to the hank before closing time.
„ ,In. the midst of all this bustle, Gus-
*le Bosley came In, bringing a small
square package.' *
—“Don’t say you won’t take it.” She
forestalled Mrs. Penfleld’s "objection.
‘T’ve Just got to leave It with you.”
“I can’t take It,” said Mrs. Penfleld
firmly. “It makes me uneasy. You’d
better .rent n safety box. 4. Ain’t any
thing safe here If a bUTglar should
take a notion to come. I’m sorry, but
I don’t feel like taking—"
“You needn’t take. It," interrupted
Gussle Bosley. With a lightning move
ment, sh‘e reached through, the open
bedroom door and placed the package
on the apple-box Cupboard. “The re
sponsibility’s on my head. Thank you.”
She ran out of the house, well ahead
of Mrs. Penfleld, who followed, pro
testing, as soon as she had snatched
up the package. ;*—
Displeased hut conquered, she took
the package back and dropped It in
her old suitcase. / She_ was in far too
great a hurry to do anything else at
the moment. It crossed her mind that
Mrs. Bosley’s nerves must. be going
back on her; but In that case, the
safety box was the' logical solution.
She hurried to the yard, and quickly
gathered the silken articles from the
linea! She could not go downtown
and leave them outside, even with the
children watching them. As she came
back, she glanced to see what time It
was—caught her breath in dismay.
The, hank was closed ! i.

A little later-that same afternoon
Bonnie (Icraldine was secured by a
shop-twine leush fastened around one
leg and given an airing In the drive

opened the door of the car and started
tq descend.
Lettie roused. , "Hold on!" she cried
In alarm. “Walt till I get Bonnie Ger

With one daintily shod foot oh the
running board, the lady paused. * She-
swayed slightly. Her hurry seemed to
desert her.

"Don't you think you might cali

Lettie shook her head violently.
“Sulls me. They’re the swellest >>lks

“Oh, then you know these peoplet"
Lettie tossed her head jn disdain ...at.

The lady’s interest had waned. She
was looking fixedly at the child’s rag

Subdued, Lettie pushed back ?the

change in .Mrs. IVnrteld’s'manner, even
in her way of speaking; Lettie felt it,
but'could not know the cause. With
