. Marvin Dawes arrived in Oak Lawns
on the four o'clock train from the city
on November 1. As usual he was nog
a day late. He halled a waiting sta-
tion taxi to convey him and an assort-
ment of bags and boxes that had are
rived by an earlier train out the old
Cedar Swamp road. He stopped at the
post office on the way for the keys that
were always left with the postmaster
on October 31 and as often called for
oy Marvin Dawes on the following day.
“You don't happen to know a woman
that wants to work as cook or house
keeper?” asked Martin of the postmas-
ter. “The Jap 1 had so many years
nas gone to San Francisco and left me
in a lurch”
“Why don't you get another Jap?”
was the postmaster's not too civil an-
gwer. “They always sald you were so
partial to 'em.”
Marvin Dawes laughed. “Well, I
was,” he admitted. “But the fact

would be a little more cheerful if there

perhaps you might hear of some one
who'd like the place. If you do, let me
know.” And so Marvin was off
One of the boxes he had brought up
from the station contained
tials for a quickly made supper, which
very great skill or enjoyment. The
next day arrived the faithful Pat with
Marvin's two saddle horses, It was a
standing agreement between

Clarice had died leaving the right to

who had become so attached to the
house in his boyhood that he never
falled to arrange that

of autumn and winter. Lucey, too, had
dled only a year before, and the right
to occupy the house from May first to
the last of October had been handed
down to a grandniece of her husband,
algo named Lucy.
Marvin Dawes had no luck In finding
a housekeeper or cook and he stuck
the winter out none too comfortably
under the rule of Pat in the kitchen.
On the last day of April they departed,
leaving the keys as usual with the
postmaster,
On May 1 Lucy arrived with Irish
Hannah in the guise of chaperon and
general household assistant,
“It's a perfect shame Lucy told
Hannah on the second of May, “the
way that Marvin Dawes person upsets

stows away my white curtains and puts
up those dreadful velour things; puts
the wicker furniture In the attic and
boards up the sleeping porch. It's
absurd to think of the place as a win.

Lucy delivered her remarks from the
vantage place of the ladder where she
had been standing taking down Mar
vin Dawes’ winter draperies. “It takes
wo weeks to get the place Into decent
sbape for summer, I really think thst
something could be done about It
There wns a will or something that
made it perfectly clear that Aunt Lucy
was to have her Interests protected
and 1 am sure I ought to be, wo.”
“You might be calling at the law-
yer's to find out,” suggested Hannah
good naturedly. "We could be running
into town some day next week—"
80 It was that toward the end of
the next week, as soon as ever Lucy
and Hannah had managed to get the
old house Into summer garb, Lucy
made a flying trip to the city. She
waited In the reception room for a
few moments while the lawyer con-
cluded his conversation with a pre
vious caller,
“I've never met the person” sald
the caller, “and I've no desire to do
so, but 1 wish you'd look up the will
and see whether you can't find some
clause to protect me—perhaps I could
buy out the young woman's share in
the house. I'd be willing to pay more
than a fair price to get complete pos
session, Suppose you look up the will
and see whether we couldn't manage
somehow.”
The lawyer saw Marvin to the re
ception room and was there informed
woman waiting was Miss Lucy Brent
“By the way,” said the lawyer call-
ing to Marvin Dawes as he was open
