Delia Priddy flew briskly around Ler
little kitchen. Della was giving a tea
party that night.
In the other half of the house two
women sat talking in a sunny bow
window. Everything here was neat
and orderly, but the rooms lacked the
air of festivity that was imparted by
the preparations for the party.
“If 1 was to give a tea party to the
sewing society wouldn't you think |
was mean if I didn't invite my next
door neighbor?’ demanded Ann Bart
impatiently.
“I don’t know,” returned Mrs. White
evasively. “I guess I'll put this edging
in plain. What do you think, Ann?"
Mrs. Bart stabbed her knitting nee-
to the folds of the shaw! and
back in her rocking chair. “I'd

public slight, that's what it is!"
Mrs. White quivered uneasily. “Yon
never knew Delia before you was mar-
ried and came to Stillwater?’ she ven-
tured hesitatingly.
Ann Bart shook her head.
“I'll have to be going along home, |
guess,” sald the other woman, rising
slowly and picking the threads from
her dress. “There's supper to get for
Henry and the children and”-—she
paused awkwardly and shifted be:
glance from her companion’s face to
the flowering plants in the window--
“your night blooming cereus has go!
—one, two, three—it's got seven buds
on it! They look like they'll open to-
night” She turned surprised eyes
upon her hostess.
Mrs. Bart's lips took on a bitter
curve as she replied: “Yes, it'll be
a-bloom tonight. 1 guess I'll have to
admire it all by myself. Every mem-
ber of the society I asked to come in
and see it said she had an engage-
ment—just as if I didn’t know ‘twas
Delia Priddy’s party they were going
to!”
As the afternoon wore on her bitter-
ness increased, and she was trembling
with anger and disappointment that
she could no longer conceal from her-
self. She wished some calamity might
befall Delia's tea party. Indeed. she
was quite willing to become the au-
thor of any catastrophe that would put
an end to the merrymaking.
At 5 o'clock she saw Delia, arrayed
in a black silk skirt and white shirt
waist, tripping down the street with
a pitcher in one hand. Delia would he
back in ten minutes.
Like a little fury the widow flew
across the hall and opened Delia's
door. The table was set for supper—
gold banded china, pale pink ham,
pickles and preserves, three kinds of
cake, balls of pot cheese, a golden sal-
ad—even the bubbling of the teakettle
in the kitchen bespoke the pot of fra-
grant tea that was to come. Ten places
were laid, and Ann Bart swiftly count-
ed the members of the sewing society.
and there were nine and one over—
that would be Delia's cousin from the
Junction. She was always invited to
Delia's parties.
Ann Bart hesitated for an instant
only. Then she darted back into her
own room and fetched a large flat bas-
ket from her kitchen closet. Into the
basket she set the plates of ham and
cake and cheese, the dishes of pre-
serves and the bowl of salad. Guiltily
she returned to her own rooms and
sought the stairs leading to the large,
open raftered attic that was shared
alike by the two inmates of the house.
On the north half of the room Delia
Priddy kept her belongings, and in the
south half Ann's things were stored
away. Ann was particular to place
the captured viands in Delia's half of
the attic. When Delia found them she
might conjecture what she pleased.
Mrs. Bart was too angry to analyze
her own motives at that moment.
A large chest was set back under the
rafters. Ann crept forward and threw
the lid. The chest was half filled
boxes and bundles and formed a
hiding place for the plates of

“I can't come,” said Ann in a chok-
ing voice.
“Why?” asked Delia gently.
“You'll know why—when you go into
your rooms,” retorted Ann bitterly.
“I am sorry. 1 hope you'll change
Jour mind,” said Delia, turning to the
oor.
When the door had closed Ann
small cupboard in the chimneyplece.
It slipped forward and before Ann
could catch it fell to the floor. distrib-
uting its contents over the hearth rug.
With a little cry of dismay Ann bent
down to pick up the scattered letters
and photographs. As she placed the
last one in the box her arm stiffened,
and she held the picture before her
eyes with a strange set smile on her
face.
It was a picture of her husband.
James Bart, taken in his handsome
young manhood. The bold dark eyes
looked confidently into her own and
seemed to challenge her to criticise the
few words written in his crabbed writ-
ing across the bottom of the card:
“To Delia, from James. April 2,
1888." That was a year before he had
married Ann.
Ann rose stiffly to her feet and closed
the box with a snap; then she walked
deliberately to Delia Priddy’s door and
knocked loudly.
“Come in!” said Delia's voice.
Miss Priddy was sitting near the
devastated supper table, her eyes red
from crying. The tall clock in the
corner was slowly ticking away the
minutes toward 6, when the expected
guests would arrive.
Instead of feeling trinmphant at the
downfall of her enemy's hopes, Ann
Bart felt very small and mean. But
she could be as magnanimous.
“1 was mad at you. Delia Priddy.”
she said in a low, even tone. “because
you've always snubbed me and because
you didn’t ask me to your party, so I
came in and carted all your food up
into the attic, and it's there now, just
as good as ever. I'll go up in a minute
and bring it down. I want to ask you
a question, and you needn't be offend-
ed. You used to know my husband
before I was married, didn't you?"
Delia’s head lifted proudly, and she
broke the bitter silence of years. “I
was engaged to him once, but he jilted
