Thereafter Jerky little steps down tho broad path, leaning a little more heavily each year upon her tall black stick. In thc dull black, fasb'cilesa dress she wore she looked like nothing more In thc world than n little beetle whose way had led through n dusty road. Then there was Young Ilecson tug ging hard at thc bits of a span of devil -hearted gray, blnck .loo of her own Importation to doff his hat, grin white ly, take her elbow nnd help her to a scat, and away they went, grays, Young Uceson, Joe nnd Rachel Stcthcrll, upon an cudlcss tour of inspection. As was thu custom of another person In whoic veins was the Stetherll blood, equally disdainful of weather and clocks, Evelyn awoke nt some In definite time between 0 and 11. She ynwneu prettily nftcr the manner of n healthy young animal, stretched lux mloiisly nnd dozed again. Thereafter In duo tunc she rose, arranged herself daintily in warm Bllppcrs, "boodlo" cap, nnd flowered kimono. In a house like this where there were always bells to ring and servants to como hastening nt tho first tinkle, nbc rang. Rut not until she had seen in a glass just how much good her sleep had done her. Tlili morning her eyes wcro very bright, her coloring a hint of a tint moro than perfect. .1' rnne. A nnk-ehioked rnnlil. whoso position was enviable ordinarily in tue wg House, but who had her work cut out for her during the visits of uveiyn JMly, camo and attended the many wants of the city girl. .uy iinir, urowdy," said JIM Evelyn. iwdv nverv nno i1i on earth who knew her termed her Jennie, oui lor an tnat ncr fntlicr'H name was Urowdy nnd she waH a servnut and in the sort of litcratuic which Evelyn nf fected she would have been known as Urowdy In suite of her frMh rlii'Mtiwl prcttiiiebs and amazing dimples. Urowdy, then, combed Miss Daly's hair while Miss Daly herself gave her un divided attention to thc diurnal needs of ncr pinu nails. "That will do, Urowdy," fald Miss Evelyn. "I'll arrange it myself. My pearl gray slippers this morning." Urowdy got the slippers and with one iu each plump little hand and something akin to amusement In her wide blue eyes stood just far enough to thc aide and behind her mistress to bo out of danger of being seen in tho mirror nnd watched. rilowiy, us tuu sliinlnU hair was caught up nnd wound, twisted into a gliamlng coll and transfixed with a pin here, brought down and Impaled thcic, made dually into tho lutcst thing In morning coiilurca, thc look of amuse ment went out of Urowdy's bright eyes and into them entered interest and ap proval. There would bo a dance in Lockworth In tho course of a week or so and Urowdy would be there and there were compensations after all, In being lady's maid to such 'as Evelyn Daly. Evelyn turned unexpectedly and Urowdy, flushing, came forward swiftly, offering the slippers. "You look very pretty, Miss Eve lyn." sho said. "Awful oretty." "Thc gray gown, Urowdy. The one 1 told you to be careful of last night." Urowdy cot It. Also stocklnns. lin gerie, ribbous, pins, ever) thing needed nnu nsKvn ror. Evelyn, dressed, examined hernclf witu iranu interest. A caressing hand carnc away from her hair, administered a touch of powder to the tip of her nose, went bacu to her hair. "I need a flower." she said "Urowdy, are there any roses in bloom now.' ms ones wnlte. or nnk ' Urowdy gasped and widened her ejes. "I forgot!" sho exclaimed, and with thc whisk of skirts nnd the slam of a door, was cone. Kvelvn slirhcd. As Quickly as her nlumi) little feet could carry her down a long lliglit of winding stairs, along a longer hallwuy. back through thc hallway and again up me stairs. J s rowdy made her living trin. "I found 'cm thc first thing this morning,- sue explained breathlessly. "On the table in thu ball under the window." They wero a great bunch of white roses, somo run blown, some mere dainty buds, all fresh and fragrant and caught together by a plec of twine. From the twine fluttered a bit of paper. Urowdy 'a bright ejes fairly tporklcd now ; so, in truth, did Evelyn's. From maid's hands the flowers went quickly to mistress'. Upon thc paper was thc typewritten legend : "For Miss Evelyn Daly." Now, suddenly, surely Evelyn's eyes wero brighter than Jennie Urowdy's; her checks pinker. For a moment he held the fragrant rosea against her cheek. Then, with deft llrtcers select ing thc nucen of tho white galaxy of superb flowers, she arranged It in her. hair. "That will bo all, Browdy." With her own hands sho placed the other flowcra In water. Urowdy turned to depart, having al ready tidied the room. Evelyn, thc typewritten bit of paper in her hand, called after the girl softly. "Aunt Rachel has gone out?" she wanted to know. "Oh. scs. miss. Hours bko." "And Has any one called this morning Urowdy shook her curly head. "Mr. Haddon hasn't. " "Oh, yes, miss," cried Urowdy. "I didn't think about him." "Ho didn't stop? And there wasn't nny nno with him?" "Thero was, though," cried Urowdy. "A young man, just a boy to look at." She blushed nnd dropped her eyes. Ahhe had Mulled at her this morning and had lifted his hat to her in a way which llttlo Jcnnlo Urowdy had not known before to be possible. "Cook says he's Mr. Haddon's new secre tary." "Did be that's all. Urowdy." Urowdy went nnd Eveljn turned back to the roses. The llttlo slip of paper camo In for a most curious nnd Inter ested study. The flowers Mpollcd ro mance; the note, typewritten and un signed, hinted nt mystery. A little ccstntic thrill was thu result of their combined appeal to thc romantic soul of Miss Evelyn Daly. "He's like a prince In a fairy talc!" she whispered. And Evelyn, thc im pressionable, dwelt llngerlnjly upon thc latest man to enter her frippery exist ence, her fancies picturing him vividly from head to foot and not falling to inako much of thc significance of the most beautiful bauds she had ever seen. To her they spelled blue blood and romance. Then Evelyn went down to breakfast. Sho was conscious of a satisfying, vastly pleasurable exhilaration this morning. In all things essentially a city girl, she was glad to bo in the country. In town she had a maid only when she could borrow one nt tho homo where she chauccd to bo a guest. Other things, scarcely less desirable, she could have only iu proportion with tho latest check which her Aunt Rachel had hap pened to send her. In some matters Rachel Stcthoril was pxtrcmcly me thodical ; in others as markedly erratic. When thero came a letter from thc Lockworth Rank Evelyn never opened it but that her Augers shook and her heart skipped beats. She might unfold n check for ?500; thc paper might, on the oilier hand, read, "I'ny to the order of Evelyn Daly $2V the wretched paucit made emphatic by tho "and no cents" which Evelyu dotcstcd on gen eral principles.
