Leaving Betty alone with her mem ories, her hopes and her dreams, 1 .-lipped out into the corridor to wait for Miss Moss. 1 was so impatient to carry my message to Terry that the minutes I spent in the hospital where Betty had gone to have her arty op erated seemed to drag along into hours. But presently Miss Moss trot ted into view, bearing a Heavy tray. "An eggnog and toast for her." twittered Miss Moss. "And some lunch for you. There will be enough for Captain Winston, too." "Then he may see her?" T ven tured tactfully, concealing my plan to smuggle Terry in at once, whether or not 1 was granted per mission. "As soon as she's had her eggnogg. It's the fourth day and she's doing nicely. To-night she's going to have chicken." Having chicken seemed to be an achievement, so I exclaimed over it with due fervor as 1 opened the door for Miss Moss. And I got real Joy out of the look of disappoint ment on Betty's face when she saw who her visitors wore. "Now take every drop of your eggnogg and eat every smidgin of your toast, child and then we'll tell that nice Captain he may stop prancing up and down the path and come in to visit, you for fifteen minutes," ordered Miss Moss. "Nice Mossie." said Betty, child ishly, but her flushing cheeks and eager eyes told me she wasn't feel ing a bit like a child. 1 hurried through my lunch and was ready to help Miss Moss carry off the tray and herself and almost as soon as Betty had managed, with many wry faces, to gulp down her consignment of food. "Anne, come here a minute, please," begged Betty as we were on the point of vanishing. Then her voice sank to a whisper. "I>o 1 look very—ill? They don't let me see." 1 held up a mirror that Betty might see her own radiant face. Then 1 put my lips to her forehead for a second and ,hurried after Miss Moss. We discovered Terry', not pranc ing, but dragging himself aimlessly up and down at the side of the building, with hunched, unsoldlerly shoulders and jerky, short strides. Miss Moss faded away into the shrubbery and X hnrried after Terrv. caught him at a turn and laid my arm on liis sleeve. He stopped in his tracks and fastened his fingers on my wrist in a crushing grip. "Quick, Anne give it to me straight. She's all right? But she wont see me?" he muttered.

"I saw Mrs. Bruce and expressed by sympathy, and asked her if there was anything 1 could do for her. She thanked me politely and said there was not. She did not suggest my coming again. So it is plain that she does not want me. But she did speak of how much you had done for her." "I did nothing!" Honora pro tested. "1 was only sorry for her; that's all." "I telephoned Arthur, too, this morning." Mildred went on. "I told him 1 was thinking of him anil hop ing his father would be well soon. I advised him to stay with him as much as he could and not to come here if he gets away front the office early, but to go right back to his father. I explained that Mrs. Hig gins is laid up and that I would be busy doing things here. So if he comes at all it will not be until this evening." "He will probably walk around home with me after dinner to night." Honora said. "And then he can come in and see you." "What time do you come home," Mildred queried. "1 do not know." Honora an swered. "But surely not until after S o'clock." "You are a dear thing!" Mildred declared, putting her arm about her sister and kissing her.. Honora was puzzled by the sud den gleam that had come to her companion's face. She did not un derstand it. She Calls tip Tom The reason would have been plain could she have watched Mildred's actions when she was left alone. Taking the precaution of closing the door of Mrs. Higgins's room, she telephoned to Dr. Chandler's house and asked to speak to Tom. Then she informed this young man that she had a whole dreary after noon on her hands and would be glad to have him run in and see her if he cared to. "Run in!" he exclaimed. "I will not only run in. but I will stay as long as you will let me." "T ou may be bored," she remind ed him. "Tou see," with a spiteful little snicker, 'Honora is away to day, and Jlrs. Higgins is laid up with sciatica." "Bully!" he exclaimed. "Not." he went on, "but what 1 am sorry that the poor old soul is rheumatic, but it's a bad wind that blows nobodv good. As to your sister, while she is very entertaining, she is not—- Vol'. 1 could not Ttelp thinking that last night." "T ou concealed your thoughts mighty well," she accused playfully. "Because it was wise to do so!" he rejoined. "Surely you know, my dear, that one must not show all one feels." The conversation put Mildred in such a good humor, that she went P to Mrs. Higgins's room cheer fully ana spoke almost affectionate ly to the temporary invalid. ! Now lam going to fix you up j nice and warm, and then, aftef you have had your next dose—which | will be due in an hour—l am going j to leave you to read and sleep, j Rest and quiet are what you need."

"Helen Jasper." I "Well. I hope you will find her j a pleasant visitor," Mrs. Higgins said. ' Mildred got as far as the door. | then paused. "By the way, as there | is nothing to be done in the kitchen j before six o'clock. I have told Katie ) she could take this afternoon off." ! she remarked. "That was all right ! wasn't it?" "Certainely!" Mrs. Higgins ap -1 proved. "And it was very kind and I thoughtful of you. Mildred, my i dear."

Then Mildred went into her own room lo change her dress well pleased with herself. Tips. Higgins's expression of ap-!

Mildred wont downstairs with a half smile on her lips. It changed to a broad smile when, glancing from a rear window, she saw Katie walking down the kitchen path to the back gate.
