The I Beatrice stiffened defiantly. but k"Well. she won't stay a month whi here," ahe said. The "Aunt Hrusilla writes," Billy sug- Umi gested, "that she is longing to meet J etui her new niece. She hasn't seen me I cha. since I was almost a kid. She was going to be married then. I remember, but something broke it off." "Her own exacting disposition prob- dor ably."

And though the malady from which Beatrice suffered was not necessarily serious, the doctor assured paj, him that she must have Immediate g|j0 care. Billy himself prepared his wife's breakfast coffee before he went to '* I meet the inevitable Aunt Drusilla. and cos Beatrice made a face over the coffee. maJ "It's horrid." she said, ungracious- 000, ly, "and you must insist upon taking o>00, your aunt to a hotel. She can't stay jjg hero now. You see that?" The voice ended in an Invalid's wail. ^4 Billy hurriedly beat a retreat. 000, Billy considered his problems as he .? hurried his little car toward the sta- jow tlon, and when he saw his waiting and trk half-forgotteu aunt, his perplexity U(j grow. Here was not a quiet old body to be ?^ lightly disposed of. but a smiling and assured person in pleasing attire, her .. shrewd eyes twinkliug at his from be- ^ neuth waving hsilr. "My dear boy!" she cried, putting forth her gloved hand in greeting. Then, after his very brief response, ^ an awful thing happened to Billy. _ Stooping in hurried embarrassment to ^ .v,?
